Constitution Week detailed by DAR Scotchtown Chapter (Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Bonnie D. Anderson of Mechanicsville on behalf of the Scotchtown Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Anderson serves as the chapter’s Constitution Week chairman.) Morality is the idea that there are standards for life that are ultimately beyond

to do it because of the power of arms, or the police or the military. Our founders knew that you couldn’t have an army big enough to create an order of freedom that was imposed from the outside. Freedom required inner standards, inner principles. So, at the very core of a true republic is the ability for

just human opinion but actually come to us from the very nature of reality, from the nature of creation, the idea that God Himself has brought forth His will into the world by revelation, directly, and by indirect revelation through the created order. Our founders understood this principle of moral order. In fact, we have statements such as the one from John Adams, who said, “Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” What was he trying to say? A republic, by its very nature, is giving freedom to people. There are only two ways to make people do something: they want to do it and they are willing to do it, or if they don’t want to do it and they are willing to do it, or if they don’t want to do it they do so because it’s their duty; or someone forces you

self-government. Without self-government there can’t be freedom. Because the Constitution is simply a piece of paper that gives people freedom, you have to have a people who are willing to follow what’s on the paper. And that doesn’t come naturally to people because our innate nature is to seek our own ends, our own desires. So, how do we learn to do what is right? The logic of our founders went something like this: Do you want to be free? Then you need a republic. To have a republic you need to have a moral people. To have a moral people you need to have religious teaching. Ultimately they believed that true religion, the Christian faith, gave us a grace from God that taught us to deny ourselves, to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, to do what was right even when it was difficult because it was

our duty to God and our duty to our neighbor. These ideas are very deeply imbedded into the founders’ views. In fact, a classic example is George Washington’s Farewell Address, in which he said, “Religion and morality are indispensible supports for political prosperity.” Basically what he was saying is that our Constitution and our government have to have some pillars holding them up. Religion and morality are the bases on which the republican form of government rests. Those are Washington’s last official words to the country. His first official words, when he took his oath of office, included these great words: “The sacred fire of liberty … has been entrusted to the hands of the American people.” He said this liberty that we have is a sacred fire. It is a fire that was not stolen from the heavens as Prometheus (in Greek mythology) stole fire from the gods. No, it’s a holy fire that has been given to us by heaven itself. Washington said it has been given to me, to you. The problem (in America) is not our culture. Those words are still true that were said so long ago in the Bible, “If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and see My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

MECHANICSVILLE — National PTA® has recognized Oak Knoll Middle School and the Oak Knoll Middle School PTA as a National PTA School of Excellence for their achievement in building effective family-school partnerships. Research shows that when families and schools work together, student achievement increases, schools improve and communities grow stronger. Being recognized as a National PTA School of Excellence demonstrates Oak Knoll’s leadership and commitment to partnering to support student success and continuous school improvement. “The partnership between Oak Knoll Middle School and their PTA is a true example of what can be accomplished when schools and families work together,” said Otha Thornton, president of National PTA. “Oak Knoll Middle School has put strong practices into place that involve families in the life of the school, and we are

pleased to recognize them as a National PTA School of Excellence.” National PTA launched its National PTA School of Excellence program to help strengthen family-school partnerships across the country and make measurable progress in the areas of education, health and safety, and arts and cultural exploration. At a National PTA School of Excellence, families feel welcomed and empowered to support student success, and PTA is a key partner for continuous school improvement. To be recognized as a National PTA School of Excellence, PTAs evaluate their current family engagement strategies and submit a goal for school improvement that families, teachers and administrators have set together. They improve upon their family engagement strategies throughout the year, while focusing on their goal. The National PTA School of Excellence designation is awarded with demonstrated improvement in the family-school partnership and significant progress toward

Wilson was hired in 2011. The expected cost is lower than the publicized rate when the last search was conducted. Hanover County School Board chair Bob Hundley said there’s a good reason for that. “They gave us a 10 percent discount as a repeat customer,” he said. The firm was chosen from four responding applicants. Myers explained the administrative timeline. “The initial proposals were due on Aug. 7,” he said. “Review of the proposal went on from the 10th to the 14th and then the second interviews and negotiations went on the 17th, 18 th and 19 th, and the contract was issued on Aug. 20,” he added. “It was expedited,” said Hundley.

Jennifer Greif, director of accreditation and accountability, delivered the good news regarding Standards of Learning scores for Hanover County Public Schools students.

you do a second interview after that.” Hundley noted that the decision has basically already been made once the firms are scored. “You do a second interview, but, basically, you’ve made the (search firm) selection after that ranking process,”

he said. The number of second interviews granted in this case is not available to the public. “That’s a closed process at this moment and we can’t talk about until we get the final word from Procurement,” Myers said. Myers said the process followed the letter of the law procedurally. “This went first interviews, second interviews, negotiations and issuance of a contract.” Myers said making no public announcement of the selection or the cost of the contract is not unusual. “If we selected, for example, Seaboard Coast Line to help us with putting in a HVAC system, we would work through the process and select them to do the work,” he said. “We wouldn’t notify anybody.” He also elaborated on the estimated cost of the search. “Part of the cost is a reimbursement and depends on see SEARCH, pg. 19

weight. Shoulder pain, poor posture and back problems can result from an over-packed backpack. Bigger is not always better when selecting a backpack and an efficient design with padded shoulder straps can prevent future problems. And, remember, some systems don’t allow rolling backpacks except in special circumstances due to the congestion they may cause in student walkways. And for anxious adults, the back to school season presents a new set of driver challenges and requires additional caution when kids are going to or leaving school. Fall is a busy time for everyone, and exhibiting extra caution while driving can prevent incidents with students who do not always pay attention. With everything else on busy plates this time of year, parents need to be sure to include safety on the list of back to school preparations. It’s time well spent and a few minutes of prevention can alleviate future accidents. The message is simple: It’s back to school time. For drivers, it means extra caution when driving around schools. For students, it’s a time when paying attention could make a real difference. As the Safety Council puts it, head up, phone down.

stopped to ask what that meant or how they’d follow through on those good intentions. Why the back story? I’m nervous because I see similarities between Loudoun and Hanover County. I live in the Chickahominy District and we have a lot of development that is currently under review or that has been approved. At my last count, I have seen approval for an additional 386 homes in close proximity to U.S. 301. While I disagree with Ms. Cox on the current state of U.S. 301 traffic, she’s a year or two from being spot-on. These communities are being approved at a pace that will be unsustainable for the current infrastructure to handle without a significant impact to existing residents. Today, imagine heading U.S. 301 southbound as you approach Atlee Station Road as school buses, young adults, parents and teachers are all headed towards school. Now that you’ve got that picture, I want you to imagine all these news communities hitting the same roads at roughly the same time as people head to work or school. While the traffic, for me, hasn’t reached horrendous status, you can see it starting to get more inconvenient.

I would never stop development of private land, but I might slow the pace until existing infrastructure was upgraded to support the growth. I’m nervous that one day the silent majority of our residents will wake up to a 30-minute commute from New Ashcake to Parham Road because no one is really managing the growth, but they’re really just managing the land use (no nuclear power plants under construction that I know of). I support smart land development with an emphasis on smart. County staff, Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors representatives have an opportunity to do something special with the land they’re entrusted to manage. They need look no further away than U.S. 360 to see how easily it is to mismanage growth (no offense intended to my fellow citizens that live down that way). If additional development is approved along U.S. 301, please ensure you use a critical eye as to how the development impacts all aspects of your citizens’ lives. You’ll be looking at and answering to an unhappy citizenry if we’re introduced to a massive traffic situation along U.S. 301 and all adjacent roads. Jason Voorhies Mechanicsville

Sludge talks worry resident I am a resident of Western Hanover County where most homeowners have well water. I also reside in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Hanover County’s proposed 2016 Legislative Agenda for the General Assembly includes two items of interest. The first is a request for the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to conduct or commission a study to determine potential environmental and health risks of the land application of industrial residuals (different from sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants) and to establish regulations specifically designed for industrial residuals based on the characteristics of the residuals from different sources. Industrial residuals are known to contain arsenic, lead and mercury. The second is a request for a stable and adequate source of funding for storm water quality programs and facilities necessary to achieve the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load Requirements (TMDL) developed by the EPA to restore the Bay. The goal is to reduce and measure water pollution in streams and rivers in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. There are two important see LETTERS, pg. 22

CARL TAYLOR Carl Wayne Taylor, Esq., 74, of Mathews County, passed away peacefully after a long illness on September 5, 2015, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Richmond in 1941, and was preceded in death by his parents, Carl Otis Taylor and Etta Earnhardt Taylor; by his brother, Dennis Michael Taylor; and by his wife of 43 years, Joyce Beasley Taylor. He is survived by his second wife, Christine Bridge

Taylor; her son, William James Bridge; her daughter, Allison Bridge Robins; and her grandchildren, James Walter and Jason Allan Robins; also by his son, Daryl Wayne Taylor of Richmond, and wife, Mary Fisk-Taylor; and his two grandchildren, Alexandra Briggeman Taylor and Warren Jackson Taylor; by his sister, Mary Taylor Pridemore; her son, Kevin Dowdy; and his grandniece, Taylor Dowdy Moore. An aunt, Frances T. Henningsen; and cousins, Gilbert Taylor, Diane Mihalcoe and Phillip Taylor and their families; as well as other family members in the Richmond area also survive him. Wayne spent his early years in Richmond, but soon moved to New Kent County, where he worked on the family farm and helped with his father’s heating and oil business. In 1959, he graduated from New Kent County High School, where he made lifelong friends. He also attended classes at the University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University. He began his career at West Engineering, where he discovered his talent for salesmanship, and soon joined the Smith Courtney Machine Tool Division, where Causey Davis Sr. was his mentor and dear friend. In 1977, he became a principal in the DavisTaylor-Forster Machine Tool Company on Commerce Road in South Richmond. The company covered Virginia, West Virginia and North and South

Carolina along with sales to foreign and domestic government facilities, including shipyards and industries around the world. Over the next 30 years, his integrity and negotiation skills led to success and recognition throughout the machine tool industry. One of his favorite sayings was “if it is to be, it’s up to me.” He lived in Mechanicsville, Williamsburg and Glen Allen during his career, but retired to New Kent County until illness led him and his wife, Christine, to her home area, Mathews County, to be closer to family. He was active in community affairs and was awarded a lifetime membership in the Virginia Jaycees. He restored a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air convertible show car, and was happiest working, being with family, and playing golf with friends. His sense of humor, his loyalty and life example will live on in our memories. A memorial service will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, September 20, 2015, at Nelsen Funeral Home at 4650 South Laburnum Avenue in Richmond.

Dawson is set to appear Sept. 25 in Hanover General District Court on the manslaughter count, in addition to companion charges of failure to yield to a bicyclist and possession of a concealed weapon. He was released from the Pamunkey Regional Jail on $25,000 bond Wednesday, Sept. 9, after a judge set his bail during a brief hearing. Police said Dawson, driving a 1996 Buick Century, was traveling west on Mountain Road about 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 5, when he struck Wortham from behind, fatally injuring her, near Farrington Road. Hanover prosecutor Steve Royalty said Dawson then drove a short distance to a fire station to report the crash. Royalty said there is no evidence that Dawson was driving under the influence or using his cell phone when he struck Wortham. However, Royalty said, “there is a suggestion that he was not maintaining a

proper lookout” and gave authorities conflicting statements about when he saw the bicyclist, or whether he saw her at all. The speed limit along that stretch of Mountain Road is 55 mph and has a narrow median, with only about a foot paved and marked with a solid white line. Friends and loved ones have set up a memorial for Wortham at the Farrington Road sign post at Mountain Road. Flowers decorate the foot of the sign, and a bicycle wheel painted red is attached to the post with a small placard bearing the name “Carrie.” Wortham was a St. Catherine’s School and Virginia Military Institute graduate, an award-winning athlete and competitive dancer who planned to join the Marine Corps. Known for her red hair and big smile, she was biking Sept. 5 as training to run in the Anthem Richmond Marathon in November.

how many different avenues we advertise in. It’s a fee plus reimbursable costs.” Board members and school administration maintained that an update on the process was provided at the August meeting, but no record of that communication was available at press time and the item did not appear on last month’s agenda. Later, school officials confirmed that no update was provided at the August regular meeting, but a short update had been provided at a special meeting earlier in the day. While the process has been a largely administrative function to this point, Myers told board members that the board begins its hands-on approach beginning with the public meetings. In other matters, director of accreditation and accountability Jennifer Greif delivered the details of the latest Standards of Learning (SOL) scores in Hanover County schools.

the worst and the unexpected,” she said. “We’ve been down this road before in Hanover. The animals were well loved but animals escaped and people could have been hurt.” Kelly-Wiecek said exotic animals and residential neighborhoods are not a good mix. She pointed out that the keeping of snakes does not maintain the character of the neighborhood. “I think wild and exotic animals should be kept in a zoo.” Lawhorn requested six months to move his animals if his permit request was denied.

“Sixty days might be a little quick. I’d be willing to go with 120 days,” Kelly Wiecek motioned. Chairman Wayne Hazzard also acknowledged Lawhorn’s passion and responsibility for his animals, but joined in a unanimous vote to deny the permit. “This reminds me of the race track,” Hazzard said. “Property rights are very important to me, but when what you do affects the person beside you, then you suddenly are taking some of their rights away. We try to take everybody’s rights into consideration. The adverse affect on the neighborhood compels me to vote against it.”

Several speakers referenced the situation in Florida where pythons have been released in the Everglades and spread to other parts of the state, posing a threat for native species. Chickahominy District supervisor Angela KellyWiecek motioned for disapproval of the permit request, acknowledging Lawhorn’s passion for his reptiles. “That being said, we have to think of this in the broadest of terms. We can’t take a vote based on feelings or emotions. We have to decide on the facts. We always have to plan for

Placement (AP) classes. Greif said that’s partially due to the county’s policy of accepting all students for AP classes. “We are not gatekeepers,” she explained. Hanover’s dropout and graduation rates also ranked the system No. 1 in its division, and the county outscored its metro competitors. Hanover also outperformed its competitors with the highest per pupil instructional spending rate of 72.5 percent. In 2016, interim superintendent Rick Richardson said the system is spending more per pupil than at any other time in the division’s history. First day enrollments indicate this year’s number of students attending Hanover schools is level.

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Daisy, 399383, is a 2-year-old (estimated) female hound. She has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Daisy is a very cute and playful dog. She has been at the shelter since April and would love a forever home. Daisy gets along well with other dogs and loves to run and go on long walks. She was probably an outside dog before she arrived at the shelter but should have no problem adjusting to the indoors. Neytiri, 411456, is a 2-year-old female domestic short-haired feline. She has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Neytiri is a friendly girl who was surrendered to the shelter last month. She has a very sweet and curious personality. She is very well litter trained and gets along well with other cats. She was an indoor/outdoor cat at her previous home. 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.

New school year concerns While I am very excited to begin a new school year at Hanover High School, I wish that everything in Hanover County Public Schools was as good for the upcoming school year. As I read Elizabeth Proctor’s letter to the editor in the Aug. 12 edition of The Mechanicsville Local, I found myself nodding my head over and over. She and I are both in the position where decisions made at the top impact our children and our jobs. I am sure most of your

They deserve a top flight education befitting the 21st century from the best staff and using current technologies. I’m not sure what frustrates me more: A. The fact that some of our best High School teachers are leaving HCPS for places like Varina and Henrico High School, while others are driving to Manassas or Chesterfield while maintaining their residency here. One of our high schools will be on its fifth English Department chairperson in four years, while the entire International Baccalaureate (IB) instruction team there is brand new. If this doesn’t wave red flags to residents, I don’t know what will. B. That no one in county leadership positions will admit to the public that there is a problem with high school attrition in HCPS. They cite overall numbers, but you never hear a breakdown of elementary, middle and high schools. High school attrition is at a level I have not seen in working here in 22 years – the numbers may be similar to previous years, but as one Hanover County School Board member put it in 2013: “the reasons for people leaving are different.” That school board member was removed by current county leadership.

My 150-plus students next year (highest total in my career) and my three children deserve better. Then, I read warm and fuzzy stories in The Mechanicsville Local and the Herald Progress about the fantastic progress of our schools in the Standards of Learning (SOL) scores for last school year. There were some victories in testing here in Hanover, but the spin doctors at the highest levels of leadership in our county conveniently forgot to mention that last year one of our high schools had the worst Algebra I scores in the history of that school, with pass rates in the 50s percentile, or that another had English 11 scores drop across-the-board in reading and writing. Did the reporters miss something, or did our leadership fail to report the full story? Further, while I am elated that Patrick Henry High School made the grade last spring in Algebra 1, I cannot help but wonder if there were additional resources placed at Patrick Henry to make that happen.

the Town of Ashland and even the City of Richmond allow their property owners the simple freedom to raise hens and enjoy their benefits. (For clarity, I’m not talking about roosters. They can be noisy!) I never imagined, as a lifelong resident of Hanover County, that our personal freedom to own backyard chickens would be denied. This property rights restriction conflicts with our rural values, which are celebrated in the Hanover Tomato Festival, the Ashland Strawberry Faire and Beaverdam Heritage Days. Hanover County is proud of its most famous son, Patrick Henry. His historic stature delivers tourism revenue with historical tours of Scotchtown and its courthouse. However, does the restriction of such a simple property right embrace the true meaning of Mr. Henry’s famous speech? I repeat my question from above: Did you know that keeping a few egg-laying hens is illegal in Hanover? I understand some neighborhoods would choose to not allow keeping chickens. These subdivisions will retain their right to limit or forbid chickens with their homeowners associations and bylaws. Why should Municipal Code restrict such a simple property right from all of the taxpaying residential landowners? The Hanover zoning ordi-

nance permits “keeping of small animals, insects, reptiles, fish or birds, but only for personal enjoyment or household use, and not as a business,” yet keeping even a single egglaying hen is forbidden. We’re not talking about running a commercial poultry operation out of a backyard. We are talking about keeping a few hens for enjoyment, education and an option for a safe source of non-GMO (genetically modified organism) food. Hens are entertaining, low-maintenance pets. They are great for teaching children responsibility while also providing education. They work hard to rid your yard of ticks, grubs, small snakes and rodents. They provide free fertilizer and are a wonderful solution for efficient composting of kitchen wastes. Why, as a taxpaying landowner with approving neighbors, would I be legally forbidden from keeping a few hens? Demanding either chickens or death is a purposeful exaggeration. These days, however, I find myself wondering if the people of Hanover County aren’t anxious to relish in our historic cries for liberty and demand a few backyard chickens. Please contact your supervisor to let them know you support backyard chickens as a property owner freedom. To learn more, check us out on Facebook at www.facebook. com/giveuschickens.

equipped with less resources. That is not acceptable for my three kids. The simple fix is to just return to the five class schedule at the high school level that produced state accreditation annually. County residents should demand that the school board make an intensive study into test scores with the six class schedule we have now versus the five class schedule, which never failed in 100 percent accreditation. Under our current county leadership, we have had a school lose accreditation for the first time ever, and another pass state requirements for Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) only with their three year average – a few more years with Algebra 1 scores in the 50s percentile will put that school on an improvement plan as well. It’s time to change the guard with county leadership. Sadly, we only have two races. I urge county residents to boot the incumbents and consider running in 2019. Chris Pace Mechanicsville

Pink Tie Gala to feature special dance Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

ICHMOND – A very special dance by breast cancer survivors will highlight the Pink Tie Gala, which will be held Saturday, Oct. 17. “The Celebration of Life Dance Team” is made up of breast cancer survivors and they are all novice dancers. The ninth annual gala is being presented by the Bon Secours Cancer Institute. Organizer Susan Groves said the event raises awareness and funds for breast cancer research and development of a cure. After completing 12 weeks of dance lessons with expert partners from Rigby’s Jig dance studio, members of “The Celebration of Life Team” will each show how they celebrate life through dance by performing a choreographed ballroom routine. Emcees will be local radio personalities Bill Bevins and Shelly Perkins of Easy100.9. Tickets are $100 and all net proceeds will go to the Central Virginia Affiliate of Susan G. Komen. According to the Susan G. Komen national website, in 2015, it is estimated that among U.S. women there will be 231,840

new cases of invasive breast cancer. (This includes new cases of primary breast cancer among survivors, but not recurrence of original breast cancer among survivors.) In addition to raising funds for breast health programs for underserved women in the Richmond area, the Central Virginia Affiliate offers a comprehensive education/outreach program to educate and raise awareness among all families in our community that early detection saves lives. Early detection and treatment offer the best chance of cure and ultimately survival. According to the Central Virginia Affiliate of Susan G. Komen website, when the disease is confined to the breast, the five-year survival rate is more than 98 percent. Susan Groves and River City Charities organized the first Pink Tie Gala in 2007 to promote breast cancer awareness and to raise funds for breast cancer research and development of a cure. This year’s Pink Tie Gala is the eighth annual and 100 percent of the net proceeds are going to benefit The Central Virginia Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Long-term motel residency issues discussed By Meredith Rigsby News Editor

Meredith Rigsby/The Local

Ashland Police Chief Douglas Goodman presented issues pertaining to the town’s motels and long-term residency Thursday at a meeting of the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission.

RICHMOND — Ashland Police Chief Douglas Goodman, joined by town manager Charles Hartgrove and planning director Nora Amos, addressed the town’s motels and issues stemming from longterm residency at them during Thursday’s meeting of the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission (RRPDC). The presentation was sponsored by

Ashland Town Council and RRPDC board member Faye O. Prichard. “We have been struggling for a long time with how we solve the problem of hotels that have become, in essence, not hotels but long-term residencies that don’t serve the folks who live there, don’t serve our community, don’t serve our economic needs,” Prichard said. The Town of Ashland currently has 14 hotels that make up 1,100 rooms. Law

enforcement made 7,380 calls to the area motels during 2014. The Apple Garden Inn, which topped the list of locations with the most police calls in 2014, averaged seven police calls per room, not including fire and EMS calls. The inn has 48 rooms. Crime in the Town of Ashland increased from 2013 to 2014 and 99 percent of that increase in crime came from see MOTEL, pg.26

shoplifting at the local Wal,art, Chief Goodman said. “That’s not a negative on the Walmart. What we are trying to do now is drill down into that data to determine how many of those shoplifting defendants that were arrested came from one of our motels,” Goodman said. “It’s something we are looking at to determine do we have a radiation problem [from the motels].” In addition to increased crime rates, another challenge that the town faces as a result of increased long-term occupancy in its hotels is that once a person has stayed at one location for 30 days the town is no longer able to collect a transient occupancy tax, as stated by the Virginia State Code. As a result, there is an increase in demand for services, but after an individual is considered a resident and not a transient there is no longer a revenue stream to pay for

that increase in demand, the chief said. Hartgrove noted that meals and lodging taxes make up about 25 percent of Ashland’s revenue. In an effort to obtain some guidance about what to do about its long-term motel residency issue, the Ashland Police Department looked at a report out of Chula Vista, California, called “Disorder of Business Hotels.” The area was having a similar problem as Ashland. One of the key takeaways from the report was that when room rental rates hit a tipping point where there are less overnight guests, or transient lodgers, than permanent guests, the business will begin to decline. “You’re going to have increased calls for service, increased social disorder in that area and it’s going to radiate out,” Goodman said. “Right now we have that with multiple hotels in town.” Another problem facing those trying to decrease the amount of long-term residents

in Ashland’s hotels is that, according to Virginia law, if a hotel resident stays at a location for 90 days they are then considered a tenant and the motel owner must follow the Landlord Tenant Act in order to evict the individual. The Ashland Police Department has dedicated a good amount of time and resources toward fixing the current issue. From December 2014 to May 2015, they held 13 meetings with well over 100 unique stakeholders in town. As a result, it was concluded that the town’s faith-based groups have the most “skin in the game” because they provide the most benevolence to people in need in the area, Goodman said. After speaking with faithbased organizations, many said they felt that they couldn’t keep pace with the current rate of benevolent demand and others said their benevolence may be getting taken advantage of.

Caroline “Carrie” Dawn Wortham passed away, at the

tive, many local owners are concerned with the physical appearance of the motel locations, the physical appearance of the business corridor and negative reviews online all as a result of long-term hotel residency. The Ashland Police Department also had discussions with hotel residents that are not engaged in disorderly conduct, but are legitimately in a tough spot. The two main reasons that these residents said they can’t move out of a hotel into a different situation is because of their inability to save enough money for both a security deposit and first month’s rent for an apartment and poor credit, Goodman said. Long-term hotel residents pay anywhere from $750 to $1,000 per month in rent, he said. “We can’t arrest our way out of this problem in Ashland — I’ve tried,” Goodman said. Goodman said the largest impediment to the town concerning this issue is compas-

sion. “We have a town that is extremely compassionate and a town council and a government that is extremely compassionate and we’re looking at these human condition issues as well as all these other dynamics. It’s a very hard problem to solve,” he said. Two potential solutions that resulted from meetings with faith-based leaders and other stakeholders were allowing 5 percent of hotel rooms to be designated for long-term residents and to put off any implementation of new codes until July 1, 2016. This specific date was agreed upon in an effort to curb the amount of impact new codes may have on children that are living in these hotels and to allow hotel operators to get up to speed on new requirements. There are currently about 15 to 20 school-age children living as long-term residents in Ashland’s motels, Goodman said.

During discussion, an RRPDC board member suggested that the social services department designate a representative to specifically deal with the hotels and the issues that the residents experience. “Not having regulations is a big problem,” Prichard said, adding that during stakeholder meetings she was surprised to learn that organizations like Hanover Safe Place are eager for the town government to implement regulations that can more effectively handle the problem. The town code that handles hotel regulations has not been updated in a number of years. “The challenge is we need to get folks who are utilizing these places and owners who are utilizing these places as apartments, giving them stable housing, that’s really the crux of all this. People need to be in places that are supposed to be residential housing — this is not designed to be residential housing for the long-term,” Hartgrove said.

OBITUARIES Continued from pg. 26

14, 1989, in Castro Valley, California, to Ed and Tammy, Carrie lived fully, deeply, passionate to serve God in the best way possible. She was gifted with skills to encourage others and challenge them to excel. She was never afraid of hard work ... being persistent, disciplined, driven. Her short life readily impacted others as a force for good. Driven by her deep and intimate faith in Jesus Christ, she was dedicated to the Needle’s Eye Ministry Inc., “an interdenominational nonprofit

organization whose aim is to see the Richmond marketplace transformed through Christians living out their faith at work” and was an active member of Commonwealth Chapel Downtown. Though Carrie was a skilled athlete and exceptional student with numerous academic and athletic accomplishments, she remained humble and selfless despite how much she was able to achieve. Carrie graduated from St. Catherine’s School of Richmond in 2008, going on to earn a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology from Virginia Military Institute in 2012. Upon graduation,

she dedicated the next two years to Midwives for Haiti, a nonprofit organization that upholds the “vision that all Haitian women will have access to prenatal care and delivery with the assistance of a Skilled Birth Attendant.” Most recently, Carrie began working at Impact Makers in Richmond as a Project Coordinator. Impact Makers strives to improve social value for the local community through their innovative business model.

Bazala shines as Hanover shuts out Tigers By Jacob Downer for the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover senior Marcus Bazala has played a multitude of different positions for the Hawks football team over the past few years, dabbling at quarterback and wide receiver a year ago before transitioning to the starting running back job before this season. Friday night against visiting J.R. Tucker, however, Bazala looked right at home taking snaps from under center. Filling in for injured starter Clayton Cheatham, Bazala racked up five touchdowns, four rushing, and almost 150 yards of offense en route to leading Hanover to a 41-6 victory over the Tigers. Junior Ben Mahone started in place of Bazala at running back and made the most of his opportunity, rushing 23 times for 164 yards. The win was Hanover’s sixth straight over J.R. Tucker and the eighth in nine attempts since the Hawks’ inaugural season in 2003. “We were down a player and had a weird week of practice but the guys showed up, they competed and we took care of business,” said third-year Hanover head coach Derek Stoudt. “We’re getting work in, we’re starting to see some areas that we need to work in so we’re going to watch the film and get

MECHANICSVILLE – Behind the senior leadership of quarterback Chase Mummau, Lee-Davis gave visiting Prince George a night of what-might-havebeens. The Royals, plagued by missed opportunities throughout the night, fell to the Confederates 49-6 in Lee-Davis home opener. Mummau executed the Confederates’ game plan with precision. In the first half alone, he completed seven of 14 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown. He would go on to throw for an additional 115 yards and two touchdowns in a second half dominated by Lee-Davis’ pounding running game. “He’s got poise, no question,” head coach Ryan see C-FEDS, pg. 31

Atlee survives strong challenge by Godwin By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee made good on a second crack at the end zone to escape with a victory over visiting Mills Godwin on Friday night. Minutes after Queshon Baker was denied at the goal line, Chris Green scored from four yards out for the winning score as the Raiders defeated the Eagles 31-28. The win spoiled a massive night for Godwin running back Wesley Dugger, who carried 36 times for 153 yards and four touchdowns. Dugger also plays safety on the Godwin defense and made what looked like it would be the decisive defensive play, stopping Baker on fourth down and forcing a fumble for good measure with the Eagles (0-2) up 28-24. But he couldn’t get a first down in three carries, forcing a punt that Jabari Rucker returned to the Godwin 21. A screen to J.J. Givens got 17 of those yards, and Green bulled in for the winning score on the next play. “I had to hold onto the ball and make sure I get to the hole,” Green said. “The linemen really stepped up and let me get to the end zone.” Green led a balanced rushing attack for Atlee (2-0) with 91 yards on 12 carries. Clifton Woody Jr. had 13 carries for

on Hanover’s next possession, this time through the air. Following several bruising runs by Mahone, Bazala took advantage of the weakened defense and found a wide open Tanner Lacey for a 25-yard scoring pass, stretching the lead to 20-0 just under two minutes into the second quarter.

ish. They cheer for each other, no matter who’s running the ball.” On the other side, Dugger racked up 58 yards on the ground in the first quarter, then converted on that yard-

age on the second play of the second. He scored from two yards out, crossing the goal line just before Atlee safety Kamari Harris punched the ball free for a 7-7 tie. He added two more inclose touchdowns in the second

quarter, tying the game heading into the half with a 1-yard run off left tackle. The Raiders, meanwhile, made their bones in the air. Justin Hall found the going especially good on the right

After the Hawks defense allowed their only blemish of the evening on a touchdown pass from Isaiah Jones to Autsin Pytko, Bazala found the end zone for the fourth time on an 18-yard rush. The score increased the Hanover lead to 27-6 just before the half and removed any doubt as to what the final outcome would be. Bazala added his fifth and final touchdown in the third quarter and C.J. Clark added

probably the most exciting play of the game in the fourth, rushing 49 yards untouched for a touchdown to complete the scoring and reach the 41-6 final. Mahone, who was certainly in his first career start, was extremely quick to give all the credit to his offensive line. “I owe everything to our linemen – Mac Patrick, Aaron Gallagher, Ethan Boding, Joe Fishpaw – everything on our

offense starts and ends with those big guys up front,” said Mahone. “We play very well together and a unit and this could definitely be our best team yet if we continue to improve.” The win moves the Hawks to 2-0 on the young season. They will be back in action next week with a game against Hopewell. Jacob Downer can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

He caught four Rasharrd Harris passes in the first half for 105 yards. “We saw when we first went to him that Justin could beat him,” Johnson said. “Turnage goes both ways, and that’s tough on your body. We felt like we could go to Justin no matter who was on him.” Several other Godwin players play both offense and defense, including Dugger and quarterback William Abbott, and the Raiders were noticeably fresher in the homestretch. Givens sealed the game with his second interception on an Abbott bomb in the last minute. “We two-platoon and go one way. We think in the long haul, we’ve got an advantage,” Johnson said. “Over the season, our kids are going to be fresher.” That extra energy helped Atlee drive the length of the field late in the third quarter, although the drive stalled near the end zone after a penalty negated a Woody touchdown. Ethan Ratke then connected on a 33-yard field goal that wound up providing the winning margin. Chip Knighton can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Glen Allen, Brentsville tops at Pole Green meet By Dylan Garner Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Rain came in from the west on Saturday to delay the start of the Pole Green XC Classic in Mechanicsville. Heading back west to Glen Allen a few hours later was a group of newly crowned cross country cham-

pace for her team. She said she didn’t have much left in her tank by the end of the race compared to eventual winner Lydia Goetz of Brentsville, but she had enough to finish second at 19:28.19. “It’s a good starting point for me, and it shows where I can be by the end of the season,” Fagan said. While Fagan was the top runner for Glen Allen, other runners made significant contributions. Runner-up Brentsville had three runners in the top 10. But the largest gap in scoring was between each team’s No. 4 runners. Glen Allen’s Tyler Lindsay finished 19th, while Brentsville’s Mariah Broderick was 35th. Glen Allen freshman Riley Rudd made her way past Brentsville’s last two runners to finish 34th — another scoring advantage for the Jaguars. “It showed you that every runner counts, every second counts and the race isn’t over just because you are tired. They really stepped it up today,” said Glen Allen coach Jenn Ennis. “I’m like, holding back tears I’m so excited. ... I think the girls finally ran what they are capable of running.” On the boys side, MosavelLo wasn’t making his season debut. He had already turned in a top-five finish at the Great Meadow Invitational and led Deep Run to a victory at the Patrick Henry Relays. Mosavel-Lo, taking over as Deep Run’s No. 1 runner after the graduation of Matthew Novak, the 2014 All-Metro runner of the year, said he thought this could be his first real chance at a big victory. He hung with the front of the pack, which included Glen Allen’s Zack Witt and Brentsville’s Jack McNally, see POLE GREEN, pg. 35

Kenseth dominates Federated Auto Parts 400 By Billy Fellin Richmond Suburban News HENRICO – It was all Matt Kenseth, all night long. Kenseth’s No. 20 Toyota started second, but was up front for almost the entire night, leading six times for 352 laps en route to a dominating display and the victory in Saturday’s Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway. “These guys gave me a great car,” Kenseth said in Victory Lane. “They had the pit stops we needed and kept us out front.” It is Kenseth’s second win at RIR. His 352 laps led were the second-highest total of his career, next to 415 at Bristol in 2005. A debris caution at Lap 376 pulled the field together for a short-run shootout after the field had been strung out since Lap 296. Aric Almirola had been working his way through the field, and was the fastest car on the track, outside of Kenseth. Almirola took four tires, but no fuel, on the pit stop and came out third, behind Kenseth and Joey Logano. Almirola needed a win to get himself in the Chase, and

the field once again and would not be challenged. Busch finished second, Logano was third, Almirola was fourth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. came back from a 29th starting spot to finish fifth. Joe Gibbs Racing as a company had a solid night, particularly starting at Lap 126, when the four teammates were 1-2-3-4 in the running order. Kenseth, Busch, Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards held serve in those positions for the mid-part of the race. “It’s a total team effort for all of us,” owner Joe Gibbs said. “I’m thrilled where we are. This was enjoyable tonight.” Hamlin, a Chesterfield native, finished sixth and led 14 laps. Edwards finished 11th. Logano led the first 14 laps from the pole, but Kenseth was able to get around him on lap 15, and didn’t let any other driver lead any longer than 13 laps through the duration of the race.

Recurring rains douse UNOH 400 By Billy Fellin Richmond Suburban News HENRICO – There were only two cautions during the UNOH 100 K&N Pro Series East race at Richmond International Raceway on Thursday night. They were both equally big for race winner Austin Hill. Before the first caution, Hill was second to series point leader William Byron, who had edged out Hill in the opening laps and had pulled away to the lead.

A caution came out when Patrick Staropoli’s No. 99 was caught three-wide on the backstretch and was spun into the wall. Hill and Scott Heckert in the No. 34 car battled past Byron on the ensuing restart on lap 28, with Hill eventually passing Heckert as well. Hill was able to pass Heckert and take the lead, which he would not relinquish as the rains came at lap 62. Seven laps later, as the rain fell harder, the

race was called and Hill took home the victory. “I didn’t think we had a shot at winning, I didn’t think we had the car,” Hill said. “I thought if we got a top five after tonight, it would have been good. We had a game plan to drive to halfway, expecting rain to come. I just drove it hard every lap.” The win is Hill’s second of the season and fifth career win in the K&N East Series. Hill said he knew that the restart from the first caution

was going to be the pivotal one. “I knew I was going to have to get up on the wheel,” he said. “It seemed like clean air was going to be big. When I was behind (Byron), I had that dirty air on my grille. I got a really good run off of turn two, we touched a bit off of 3. The 34 got by us, but I was able to get by him and get out in the clean air. Dave Lawrence/The Local Rain was an issue from the Rain marred the UNOH 100 at Richmond International Raceway, start, as it cancelled qualifying, forcing an early end to the race after 70 laps Thursday. Austin Hill, who was in the lead when the rain-triggered caution was issued on lap 62, was declared the winner.

Menard, Bowyer grab final two spots in Chase field By Patrick Gordon Richmond Suburban News HENRICO – After an exciting finish to the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway, Matt Kenseth took home the checkered flag and dashed the hopes of Aric Almirola, who finished 4th and barely missed out on the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Almirola finished the season ranked 17th. But only the top 16 drivers at the end of the Sprint Cup Series regular season make the Chase. Needing a win to clinch a berth, Almirola was close during the final laps, challenging Kenseth as a caution flag tightened up the leaders. Kenseth made a strong move during the restart and never gave up the lead. Almirola accused him of leaving early but the move was reviewed by NASCAR and ruled to be legal. Overall, Kenseth led 352 of the 400 laps, dominating throughout the race. Joey Logano led 25 laps and Kyle Busch led for 9 laps. Both drivers are moving on to the Chase. Chesterfield native Denny Hamlin had already clinched a spot in the Chase but turned

KENSETH Continued from pg. 33

Kenseth had far and away the best car of the night, along with his Gibbs teammates, with several comers-and-goers throughout the night, such as Almirola, Jeff Gordon (finished seventh), Jamie McMurray (finished 13th) and Earnhardt Jr. The 20 was so dominant, there were only 12 cars on the lead lap at the checkered flag. Several teams that are usually strong had less-than-stellar nights, such as Kevin Harvick,

in a strong run, leading 14 laps and finishing 6th. Jimmie Johnson, with 4 wins this season, will enter the Chase as the No. 1 overall seed. Busch, Kenseth, Logano and 2014 champion Kevin Harvick round out the top five. Harvick says he’s confident that his team can race strong during the Chase and repeat as champions. “I feel like we’re as good as any team out there,” he noted. “I feel like we can beat any team on any given day if all goes our way. We’ve been in pressure situations, we’ve succeeded in both of them at the end of the year and we’ve been there, done that.” Clint Bowyer, who was the second-to-last driver to make the Chase, said that earlier in the season, he wasn’t so sure that he would make the Chase. “I doubted it early in the summer,” he admitted. “I just didn’t see this. We weren’t clicking.” Then, things changed and started looking up for Bowyer. “All of a sudden, we made a couple changes in within the organization,” he explained. “[Teammate] David [Ragan] came onboard and we really took off. Billy Scott, we have a

lot of confidence in him. He’s a efforts and happy for him as a driver, finished strong with a young crew chief. He’s just eager. person.” 7th place effort.

who finished 14th, one lap down, and April’s winner, Kurt Busch, who finished 15th, also a lap down. Martin Truex Jr., who qualified for the Chase and has been consistent through the season, had early problems and finished 32nd, three laps down. The win was Kenseth’s fourth of the season, tying him for the overall top seed going into the Chase for the Sprint Cup with Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch. The Chase for the Sprint Cup starts at Chicagoland Speedway next week, and Joe

Gibbs Racing have established themselves as the powerhouse team as the Challenger Round begins. “Having the offseason restructuring, and bringing in Carl Edwards, we really have hit our stride,” Kyle Busch said. “We all feel like we have a great opportunity to come out here and perform, make the final round, and win a championship for Joe.” Billy Fellin is sports editor of Powhatan Today, Goochland Gazette and Cumberland Today.

Bassett said. “The car was unbelievable. We started making our way through the field, so we tried to go but also tried to save tires in case the race went the full distance.” Bassett was followed by Dalton Sargeant in third, Heckert in fourth, and Spencer Davis, who started 17th, in fifth. Midlothian native and James River High School graduate Sam Hunt finished 16th. Hill is back in the title hunt with the win, in a battle with Byron and Heckert. Next on the schedule is the K&N Pro Series

East finale at Dover, a track where Hill has won twice and is confident going into that race. “We’re going into Dover and going to try to win,” he said. “I feel like we are really good there. That’s my favorite track of all time. You have to really get up on the wheel. I’m going to go in there with the mindset to win. But, my guys are always going to be telling me where Bryon and Heckert are.” Billy Fellin is sports editor of Powhatan Today, Goochland Gazette and Cumberland Today.

so the field was set by owner’s points. The rain also delayed the start of the race for almost an hour from the scheduled start time. 18-year-old Dillon Bassett was one of those who qualified better than where he started due to the rain, but was able to move up from his 14th starting spot to finish second, his second top-5 in the last three races. “We had to start by owner points, so it put us further back,”

Elliott breaks drought with Virginia529 victory By Billy Fellin Richmond Suburban News HENRICO – Chase Elliott chose the outside lane on the final restart of the night at Lap 225 in the Virginia529 College Savings 250 XFINITY Series race at Richmond International Raceway Friday night. Teammate Regan Smith started to his left. When they got the green flag, Elliott was able to clear Smith. Kyle Busch closed quick on Elliott’s bumper, but the 19-year-old from Dawsonville, Georgia, was able to hold off Busch to take home the victory. “(My pit crew) won the race tonight,” Elliott said. “We had phenomenal pit stops. The pit stops were the best they’ve been all season. I’m really happy for those guys. Killer car, great pit stops.” Busch started on the pole and was able to get the lead early, but Brian Scott was able to stay with him on restarts and not let Busch set sail on the field. Scott got past Busch on Lap 81 and held the lead through Lap 144, when Smith passed Scott on the restart. After Hermie Sadler spun on Lap 161, Elliott won the race off pit road and was able to grab the lead on the Lap 167

restart, a lead which he would not relinquish. The win is Elliott’s first at RIR in four starts, though he has been stout at the .75-mile oval. He has never started worse than seventh and never finished worse than fifth. Elliott, the heir to Jeff Gordon’s No. 24 Sprint Cup car, led 83 laps at RIR and snapped a 39-race personal winless streak, stretching back to Chicagoland Speedway. His win also is the

first for a XFINITY Series regular at Richmond International Raceway since Busch won when he was a series regular in 2004. “We had high hopes for them when we paired Chase and (crew chief) Ernie (Cope) together,” JR Motorsports owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. said. “It seems like they might finally be getting their legs.” The winless streak was against the team’s expectations

after his championship season last year. “It’s just expectations. What I want out of myself, what we want out of the team,” Elliott said. “You’ve got to take it a week at a time. It starts with winning races. If we haven’t done that, then we’ve got to get better.” Busch finished second, Scott finished third, Joey Logano finished fourth and Erik Jones was fifth.

“I don’t know where the long-run speed went,” Busch said. “All-in-all, I thought we made good adjustments all night. At the end there, we made a good swing and were close. I don’t know if we could have gotten the lead and got away. Chase was too good.” JR Motorsports as a whole had a stellar night, with Smith leading 20 laps and finishing sixth.

alties, a fake punt attempt came up just short, a fumble recovery deep in Confederate territory resulted in no points. “We missed a ton of opportunities for sure,” said Prince George head coach Bruce Carroll. “We came in knowing they were a good football team and were going to bring a lot of pressure, but we thought we had guys on the perimeter who could beat it. But we couldn’t for whatever.” At times, Gurley seemed to

not know his own arm strength, throwing over his receivers or throwing too hard for them to secure the ball. He finished the night going 8-of-24 for 167 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Many of Gurley’s troubles were triggered by the Lee-Davis pass rush, which pressured him all night. “We dug ourselves in to a hole in the first quarter that we just couldn’t get out of,” Carroll said.

straight win at the race. Mosavel-Lo and Deep Run coach Drew Spicer are aware of the competition, including Witt and the top two from Douglas Freeman, that will be standing in his way at the conference level and beyond. “He’s gonna have it cut out for him, but it shows he should have some confidence and can probably hang with everyone,” Spicer said. “And then it’s just going to be who gets it at the end.”

XFINITY start, ran strong throughout the race and was able to fight back from rough pit stops to finish seventh. “I’d call it a pretty eventful night,” Berry said. “We struggled on pit road. I’ve got a lot to learn there. We got blocked in on the last stop. That probably cost us a chance at the win.” The race is Berry’s only race in the seat of the No. 88 this season, but he hopes to join the XFINITY Series next season. “I’m ready to have Josh go every week,” Earnhardt said of Berry. “Hopefully tonight he turned some heads and hopefully the phone will start ringing.” The championship race is tightening up as Elliott moves within 21 points of leader Chris Buescher. Ty Dillon is closing in as well, only 27 points back in third. His car owner is confident in Elliott’s chances to chase down Buescher. “I think if I’m only leading by 21 points, and the guy behind me just won, I’ve got to make sure I’ve got everything going because the other guy is coming,” Earnhardt said.

icycle riding is one of the best things a person can do for the environment and his or her personal health. Riding a bike requires only the power of the body and does not produce any noxious emissions. It’s quiet, and bikes are able to gain access to places where cars are not permitted. According to Glumac, a full-service engineering company specializing in sustainable design, using one gallon of gasoline in a car produces about 20 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions directly, or 26 pounds if you account for processing the fuel. Opting for a bike instead of a car can have profound environmental benefits. Bicycles are most useful and efficient when they are properly maintained. Failing to maintain a bike means it could be relegated to a dusty corner in the garage. To keep bikes in ideal working order, consider these bike maintenance tips. Keep the bike clean. A bicycle is a collection of moving parts. Over time mud and debris can get lodged in gears, tires and other components, impacting the performance of the bike. Regular washing ensures that the bike will operate at peak capacity whenever you decide to go for a ride. High-pressure hoses may damage sensitive bearing systems, so it’s better to use a

HOW Continued from pg. 3

Maintain proper tire pressure. Much like with car tires, air pressure in bicycle tires can impact the ride and likelihood of damage. According to the CARE Exchange, a group of riders involved in fundraising cycling events, too little air in tires can increase the likelihood of punctures to the inner tube. Low air pressure can put more pressure on bike components and accelerate wear and tear. Plus, it can make for an uncomfortable ride. Similarly, too much pressure can cause the tires to blow out or provide a less enjoyable ride. Always keep tires at the pressure rating listed on the tire’s sidewall. ¥ Keep the chain well lubricated. One of the most crucial steps to maintaining a bicycle is to keep the bike chain and other moving parts lubricated. This reduces excessive wear caused by friction and can prevent gears from ceasing up. Lubricants also can help

prevent rust and corrosion. Apply lubricant to the chain, brake and derailleur levers and cables. But too much lubricant can be a bad thing, attracting dirt and reducing performance. Use only as much as the bike needs and wipe away the excess. Get a tune-up. It’s beneficial to periodically have an experienced bike mechanic look over your bicycle. Bearings may loosen slightly, and brake and gear cables can stretch. Take the bicycle into a bike shop so the staff can give it an overhaul, addressing any areas that may need a little fine-tuning. Bike shop employees typically are knowledgeable in bicycle maintenance, and they can provide a wealth of information on other cyclingrelated subjects. Bike riding is a popular pastime and an activity that is beneficial to the environment. Maintaining a bicycle is a great way to ensure it operates as efficiently as possible. -Metro
