Shown are, from left, front row, Betty Lee Stanley, 2010; Gabby Crutchfield, 1995; Virginia Hall, 1993; Kay Beazley, 2015 and Betty Spiers, 2001; and, back row, Gay Mitchell, 2003; Connie Smith, 2005; Hilda Kelly, 1987; Melanie Goodpasture, 2014; Laura Stanley, 2008; and Cathy Hall, 2007.

MECHANICSVILLE — It was one stop shopping for more than 800 Hanover County parents and students as they filed into the county’s first Education Expo at Hanover High School last week.

Opportunities for students

are changing and expanding, and the expo allowed stakeholders to gather up-to-date information on available programs, some of them making their debut next year.

Hanover County School Board members began a long road to success for several of the new programs when they voted to form an explorato-

ry committee to study career and technical possibilities and the dual enrollment based Advanced College Academy, a program that allows students to obtain an Associate Degree upon graduation from high school.

OSWELL — Each year, the Hanover Ruritan Club nominates a Christmas Mother to repre-

ville District, who supported the committee formation, said the event allows parents the opportunity to see what is available for their children. “It’s a great resource, and the turnout shows the amount of interest in these programs,� he said. “This is something we’ve been looking forward to for years.�

Hank Lowry, Ashland District, also supported Cold Harbor representative Norman Sulser’s insistent efforts to expand Career and Technical options and install the College Academy. “This is a great day for Hanover schools and is the fruition of lots of work by lots of people who believed in this,�

Lowry said. “I feel like the system has given a great gift to

Hanover students today. Every student has a future.�

Dr. Michael Gill, assistant superintendent for Instruction, said opportunities for Hanover students continue to expand and evolve. “It’s exciting to see this kind of interest. We had more than 800 attendees to tonight’s event that allowed parents to see the opportunities available to our students,� Gill said.

He said the options are changing and expanding at a rapid pace. “It’s changed within the last months,â€?

Atkinson asked if Beazley would be the 2015 Christmas Mother and the face of the Ruritan Club.

Beazley was nervous to accept the nomination.

Admittedly, she is not the type of person who enjoys being in the spotlight and would much rather work behind the scenes. “I told Jimmy I would prayerfully consider it, and I did,� Beazley said. “It was really heavy on my heart for about two or three days, I guess. And the more I thought about it I realized that it wasn’t about me and my comfort, but it was about the people that are needy that don’t have Christmas without the help of this organization, so it was kind of a no-brainer after that.�

One parent said the expo was beneficial to him and his ninth grader. Some of the programs begin in eighth and ninth grade, and the time to begin planning is now. “I am really impressed and thankful that they are offering many different options. For parents, it’s a time to make decisions,� Scott Croxton said. “There are some new options that were not previously available.� “We are excited about tonight,� Dr. Bob Staley, director of Secondary Education, said. “There are lots of opportunities for kids in Hanover schools right now, including the Advanced College Academy, a redesigned Specialty Center and the Hanover Center for Trades and Technology.�

International Bacalaureate also is available at all four

Hanover high schools, and parents attended session on that program too.

In addition, the expo highlighted traditional courses of study available at all four campuses, as well as the new career path programs in Health Services and Law Enforcement.

Culinary students provided treats for all visitors and information booths were set up throughout the school to inform parents and students of available options for next year.

Since it is the initial year for many of the expanded or new programs, the application process is extended to run from Nov. 15 to Feb. 1.

In 2014, the organization behind the Christmas Mother gave out 924 boxes of food for families, had 12,000 cans of food donated by the school children in Hanover County, and purchased another 10,000 cans of food to fill all the boxes.

The organization also helped 1,156 children by giving them toys and gift certificates from Peebles.

Altogether, the Ruritan Club spent $104,000.83 and was able to help 602 families and 126 seniors.

The names of families that need assistance during the holiday season are provided by Social Services. Community members also can write to the Christmas Mother to express a need for help. “We’re just so excited again about this year, we’re so excited to get going and help those in need,� Betty Lee Stanley, 2010 Christmas Mother, said.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

LETTERS

The message remains the same: Go vote

| Reader Views

Every vote truly does count, so don’t try to use the excuse that your involvement in the election process doesn’t matter. We can only be a part of the solution if we take part and go to the polls.

This has been a message shared here many times and its importance continues to serve as the need for you to be heard by casting your ballot remains the same.

Too often, registered voters (and everyone of age should be in that category) take for granted this right and privilege. We are able to select our governmental leaders through the election process and it’s something we should embrace as Virginians and Americans.

Voter Registrar Teresa “Teri” Smithson recently told us about the turnout usually experienced in Hanover County. (See today’s special Voter Guide supplement for more from Smithson.) We are known to be active voters and “Bravo!” to those of you who go to the polls.

There are opposed races as well as unopposed in our county on Nov. 3.

Regardless, you have a choice. Even if it’s an unopposed race, you can write in your preference.

I’ll admit that there have been times, particularly special elections, when there was that moment of “I don’t feel like going to vote today” and then the words of my late father immediately come to mind: “It’s your right; it’s your privilege.” That being said, not going to vote is not an option — because Dad was right.

Be heard. Express yourself. Go to the polls. Our county’s future literally depends on us to vote. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Be careful Saturday evening When the ghosts, goblins and ghouls (and whatever is “the” Halloween character for 2015) take to the streets Saturday evening, be mindful of them. Kids should be able to enjoy trick-or-treat in their neighborhoods.

Let’s make sure they return home safely and with lots of goodies.

Former sheriff: Mechanicsville District needs Glenn Millican Three decades ago, there were many discussions regarding the perceived rapid growth on the horizon for Hanover County. Developers of apartment complexes promoted high density housing as the solution to affordable housing and the wave of the future.

In our community and in the Hanover County Board of Supervisors room, heated conversations commonly referred to economic growth and high density housing in our suburban service areas. This was the beginning of unchecked growth that has brought us to the same conversations and concerns today.

Now, 30 years later, housing tracts have pushed out ever deeper into the surrounding areas, traffic has increased and high density housing areas are plentiful. These areas represent some of the highest demands on law enforcement, public safety and a variety of county and community support services.

Growing up, when you ran too far too fast, your mother warned, “Slow down,” “Be careful” or “Hold your horses.”

She warned us because she knew the dangers of moving too fast.

Are we going to listen to the same warnings spoken of years ago about moving too fast? As a community are we going to recognize the dangers?

Are we going to promote “smart” growth instead of “rapid” growth? The difference being smart growth ensures the community infrastructure is prepared to handle increases in traffic and public safety needs, as well as maintaining the highest educational standards and community services our citizens have come to expect and deserve.

My discussions with some across the current political spectrum lead me to doubt it; however, I am confident when community leaders meet with our elected officials great things can happen.

So I am still hopeful we can practice the smart growth that reduces the flow of high density housing and puts in place measures ensuring the needs of our citizens are met before we rush into “brick and mortar” agendas.

I understand the lure of living in Hanover County, which is why I feel an obligation to protect it. As a longtime resident, I have raised my children here and even served as the former sheriff for two decades.

I understand intimately the need for a safe community and the burden high density housing and rapid growth places on many of our county services that our hard earned money is taxed to support.

Now I do not oppose responsible growth; however, I do not agree with high density housing or apartment growth

that will burden our current tax base and not contribute to healthy economic development.

Smart commercial development programs designed to support our local businesses and consideration of public safety and community support programs as infrastructure all must take place prior to development of high density and apartment initiatives.

I share these thoughts as a professional who has served to provide for the public safety of our Hanover citizens. I have seen first-hand the resource strain on our Hanover deputies, public safety agencies and other government and community resources. I know that the highest concentrated areas of activity for law enforcement are in these high density areas and unchecked expansion will strain these resources even further.

I have saved two articles from the Herald Progress published in 1985. To read the articles again it would seem like “déjà vu.” In fact, you could probably publish the articles again today to save some time from writing a new article, and no one would know it was from three decades ago!

Are we going to learn from history or continue trudging along as if we are immune to the mistakes of the past and with no concern as to the future we are learning to our children?

In one article entitled “Apartment Avalanche” published in June 1985, referring to a Hanover County Board of Supervisors meeting where over 100 citizens packed the room, it said “The residents were clear: they didn’t want the inevitable traffic, they didn’t want additional strain on county services and they didn’t like the proposed method of tax exempt, low interest bond financing.”

I recommend that you check with our planning department and you will see that at least eight apartment complexes are on the drawing boards. We clearly should not repeat the mistakes of the past but it looks like we are headed that way at a rapid pace.

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. Lexi, 417492, is a 6-yearold female Jack Russell/Chihuahua.

She has been spayed and has her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Lexi is a sweet little girl who was surrendered to the shelter last month. She has a very friendly personality around people and loves to sit in your lap. However, she does not do that well with bigger dogs that are very active. Lexi might do best as an only dog at her new home. Barney, 416544, is an 11-month-old male domestic long-haired feline. He has had his first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV negative. Barney came to the shelter last month. He is a young and playful kitty. He has a blast with his cat toys and also gets along well with other cats. He is litter trained. Barney should do well as either an indoor or outdoor cat. For more information on these two great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays.

Bring Home a Perfectly Tasteful Dining Room Just in Time for the Holidays!

Hello again, Mechanicsville. This is your friend Erik Hastings with another message for our community. I will be placing brief articles like this in the Local from time to time as the Lord leads, and although it won’t be every week, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read them when I do.

This week, I’d like to write about something that comes about every year around this time at the end of October, and although I’m a baseball fan who loves his Baltimore Orioles, I’m not talking about the World Series. The subject I’d like to spend a few minutes on is Halloween and the annual “trick or treating” rite of passage for many kids young and old. I love a good scare as much as the next person, and, unfortunately, I’ve passed that on to my oldest son as well. He’ll often hide behind objects and then jump out to scare people by yelling at the top of his lungs – I’ve taught him well. However, I would like to share with our community a disturbing trend that I’ve noticed recently, and it is the glorification of death and gore. All too often, this time of year becomes a celebration of the very thing that our sin has caused and that Jesus Christ gave Himself as a sacrifice to save us from: death! The Bible clearly states in the book of Romans, Chapter 6 and verse 23: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

In all that is happening this weekend, remember this truth and turn to Jesus Christ who can save you from your sin and eternal death.

On a personal note, my family and I have decided to not go door to door “trick or treating” on October 31st for the reason I just mentioned. However, we make it a night of “trick or truth” and we give candy and a gospel pamphlet geared toward young people to everyone who comes by our door. It’s not very often that a steady stream of people in the community come to where we are, other than our church services, and we want to take full advantage of it. The young people at our church don’t miss out either, as we always have a candy giveaway the Wednesday night before October 31st. (We meet at Laurel Meadows Elementary at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays). I’m looking forward to being a witness for the Lord on Saturday, and my son and I might just have a trick or two planned for those coming by that involves a good ol’ fashioned “boo”!

ment growth has highlighted the need for affordable housing using the same old arguments from the 1980s.

That is relative when you compare real estate trends; however, I was taken back when, as a push to promote this type of growth, teachers, police officers and firefighters were used as illustrations of those who would most benefit. Instead of building apartments, how about giving them a raise?!

I am a conservative and have always voted conservatively. Unchecked growth

without consideration of the citizens it impacts the most is a liberal mindset that does not take into account the needs of our community. It’s a mindset that does not take into account the needs of our community.

It’s a mindset that our board of supervisors should not embrace.

As such, this fall I would encourage those within the Mechanicsville District to vote conservatively by supporting Mr. Glenn Millican, who is a strong conservative, served on the Hanover County School Board and is ready to champion the citizens of Hanover County.

The success of smart growth

depends on whether a political constituency can be mustered to aggressively champion community growth controls.

Four years later in the Mechanicsville District under the leadership of Canova Peterson, unchecked growth is apparent, high density development is on the horizon and the strain on infrastructure is clear.

It’s time for a change by voting for Glenn Millican who will strive to maintain those characteristics that have long made Hanover County a wonderful place to live and raise a family.

agreed with the recommendation to repeal proffers. This is not unanimous acceptance.

Second, Mr. Byrnes stated that proffers money “could only be used to add capacity as in new facilities or to expand existing facilities to meet the needs of increased student enrollment.” This is misleading. Proffer funds were indeed restricted to capital expenditures, but they were not limited to schools as Mr. Byrnes implied; they also were earmarked in a highly detailed formula for firefighters, emergency services, parks, libraries and roads. In addition, money is fungible – without proffers, other revenue must be used or additional borrowing must take place to meet those capital needs.

Third, Mr. Byrnes asserted that Mr. Peterson “identified a revenue stream that allowed the county to ‘bank’ $9 million per year for 20 years.” False.

There was no revenue stream identified by Mr. Peterson – he advocated maintaining exist-

Thanks for field trip

Taking issue with proffers

On behalf of the Home Cool Families and the Mechanicsville Homeschoolers, I would like to give great praises to the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office.

Deputy Barry Bland and Deputy Ji McLaughlin gave several field trips to a group of approximately 200 homeschooling kids, moms, and dads this month. They shared with us their time and their lives, explaining to us all of the many ways our Sheriff ’s Office serves in our Hanover community and beyond. They were very fun, friendly and giving to our children.

Thank you, Col. David Hines, sheriff, for having such a wonderful staff. We appreciate all that you and the numerous people in the law-enforcement community do for us.

May God bless you all with peace and protection.

Scott Byrnes misstated at least four important issues of fact in his Oct. 7 letter to the editor that praised Canova Peterson, Mechanicsville District, Hanover County Board of Supervisors, for leading the repeal of housing proffers (“Peterson had proffers plan”). These errors require correction.

First, Mr. Byrnes stated that the board of supervisors “unanimously accepted the recommendation” of the proffers committee to eliminate proffers. False. The vote by the Board on Nov. 28, 2012, was four in favor of repealing proffers (Peterson, Sean Davis, Wayne Hazzard and Ed Via) and two against (Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley and Angela Kelly-Wiecek); Elton Wade was absent from the meeting. There also was a dissenting “minority report” filed by some members of the Proffers Committee who strongly dis-

Dancers win multiple awards in first-ever professional competition

Mechanicsville resident and Randolph-Macon College student Chris Cox, right, celebrated his 18th birthday just the way he wanted: He was a contestant on “The Price Is Right.” His mother Susan, left, accompanied him to Los Angeles.

Cox gets birthday wish with appearance on ‘The Price Is Right’

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor MECHANICSVILLE — For his 18th birthday, Chris Cox wanted to hear three words: “Come on down.”

And, thanks to his mother Susan, his wish came true. In July, he was a contestant on “The Price Is Right.” The game show on which he appears will air at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, on WTVR Richmond.

“I really wanted to be a contestant,” Cox said. “Once I knew I would be eligible when I was 18 (July 5) — it’s a pretty monumental year — one thing that would be available to me that never was before was to be on ‘The Price Is Right.’ ”

He said there really isn’t an application process. Those wanting to be accepted into the audience get in line where they receive a voucher.

After about a two-hour wait, Cox said, “[They} let in as many as possible. Once you’re in the process, it’s kind of mysterious. From there, they just kind of choose the people they want to put up there.”

He said it’s “sort of behind the scenes going there. They do interview people in the line to get a feel for your personality or get to know something about each person before they put you up there [on the stage.]” “ I went to LA truly hoping see COX, pg. 24

ara Wallo of Ashland and Bonny McNeely of Mechanicsville, both students at Off and Dancing! dance studio, recently traveled to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with studio owner and dance instructor, Brian Westerlund, to compete in their first-ever professional dance competition – the ninth annual Pennsylvania Ballroom Scrimmage.

The two women swept the competition, winning 10 first place awards, 15 second place awards and two third place awards out of the 37 total dances they performed.

Wallo, having always been interested in dancing, decided to start taking lessons at Off and Dancing! when the studio opened in 2013.

A breast cancer survivor, McNeely got her first taste of ballroom dancing three years ago when she performed at the annual Pink Tie Gala Masquerade Ball.

“I got hooked,” she said.

About a year after dancing at the gala, McNeely

C

began taking classes at Off and Dancing!

Since joining the dance studio, both women have enjoyed learning new moves and have gained confidence in their dance abilities, prompting them to decide, about mid-summer, to participate in the Pennsylvania Ballroom Scrimmage competition.

Once they decided to compete, Westerlund gave the women a crash course in the specifics of the competition and helped them polish dances they already knew and had been working on.

For Wallo, the specifics were the most challenging part of the competition. For McNeely, it was her severe stage fright.

“It is an interesting atmosphere. There’s glitter and glamour, men in tuxedoes and ladies in beautiful gowns,” Wallo said. … “As long as Brian was OK, as long as he was calm and collected, I told him I would be OK as well, and it turned out that way!”

“It was exciting, but I was nervous, I have severe stage fright,” McNeely said.

“Everyone at the competition was very friendly and

helpful … it was a wonderful experience to share with Brian and Cara.”

Although Wallo and McNeely entered the dance competition in hopes to win, they were not expecting to bring home the amount of awards they did.

Wallo even missed her name getting called twice because she had already won

a few times and didn’t expect her and Westerlund’s names to be called again, she said.

The women danced at the bronze level and performed dances, including the Rumba, Cha Cha, the East Coast Swing, the Country Two-Step and the Night Club Two-Step, among others.

MONTIE DAVIS Montie Alius Davis III, age 71, of Mechanicsville, passed peacefully on October 14, 2015. The family finds solace knowing that Montie now rests eternally with those he cherished so dearly, Margie McMahen Davis (mother); Montie A. Davis Jr. (father); Deane Nandi Davis (daughter); and Patrick A. Barnett (son-in-law). He leaves his wife of 26 years, Patricia M. Davis; daughter, Chelsea Lea Plunkett (David); two brothers, John F. Davis (June) and C. Andrew Davis (Jennifer); stepson, Troy Clark (Tammy); stepdaughter, Kelly Barnett; four grandchildren, Catherine Plunkett, Gary Jaffe, Collin Barnett and Bianca Barnett; one great-grandson, Andrew Jaffe; and a host of relatives and friends. Montie was born on March 4, 1944, in Victoria, Texas. As the son of a U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, Montie, along with his family, called many different states and Australia home. He graduated from Mississippi College, where he obtained a degree in history, a minor in English, and was a valued member of the football team.

Montie then served in the Air National Guard for six years, an experience he considered a great honor. He always took great pride in the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who serve this great country, which included several members of his family. Having spent several years in Louisiana and Mississippi, Montie had deep

ties to the region. However, Mechanicsville truly became home to him and he treasured this community. For several years, he served as the resident tennis coach to family and friends on the courts at Burkwood Swim and Racquet Club. He not only gave his time to coach but also frequently gave creative apparel, which he designed, to his friends and family with personalized logos and even glitter writing.

Receiving this custom apparel was a hallmark of knowing Montie and something so many remember about him.

Montie, also tenderly referred to as Nonno, was an extremely humble, selfless person who made everyone a priority, and he gladly gave everything he had to spread joy. His abundant capacity to care for all living things also was extended to the local wildlife that surrounded his home, except maybe for the squirrels. Montie was an example-centered Christian leader who consistently exemplified the lessons of giving to everyone and treating others as you would like them to treat you. A memorial mass was held at 11 a.m. Friday, October 23, 2015, at the Catholic Church of the Redeemer at 8275 Meadowbridge Road in Mechanicsville.

Council defers CUP for garage to Nov. 3 meeting Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND — Two Conditional Use Permit applications, CUP15-0813 and CUP15-0617, were presented during the public hearing portion of the Ashland Town Council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 20.

CUP15-0813, filed by Keith and

Jo Ann Hunter, requested that the existing garage on their property at 706 Duncan St. be turned into an apartment.

A CUP is required to operate an accessory apartment on the land area because the area is zoned R-1, Residential Restricted.

The property is currently used as a single-family home and the

future land use classification will be Residential Low Density and Open Space.

On Sept. 9, the Ashland Planning Commission held a public hearing about CUP15-0813 and voted to recommend approval with three conditions added by staff.

The conditions limit the accessory apartment location to the exist-

ing garage space, caps the number of tenants allowed to two persons, and requests that the applicant participate, as necessary, in the recordation of the CUP in Hanover County Circuit Court.

Town council agreed with the planning commission’s recommendation and unanimously approved CUP15-0813.

The second CUP presented at the council meeting, CUP15-0617, was filed by Grant League and requested permission to operate a car and tire repair shop at 10281 E. Patrick Henry Rd. The property is zoned B-2, Highway Commercial and would require a CUP to allow for the operasee CUP, pg. 26

MONTPELIER – The South Anna Elementary School PTA continues its fundraising efforts in order to install a SMARTBoard in every classroom.

Principal Alicia Todd said, “Students are excited about fundraiser rewards.”

The summer readers recently were rewarded. “We hope everyone will participate in our new reading program throughout this year as we dive into a different genre each month,”

Todd added.

Todd also reminded parents/guardians that SAES takes part in Hanover County’s Partners in Education program, which provides opportunities to match the needs, interests and resources of the school and community.

She said the program enhances the educational experience of all students and establishes a good working relationship between the school and the workplace.

ing budgeted expenditures for school debt service to accelerate payment of principal on money already borrowed to pay for school infrastructure.

Fourth, Mr. Byrnes stated that the “Peterson plan will raise almost eight times more revenue per year than the proffers taxes raised.” False. Even if the Peterson plan did “raise” revenue (it doesn’t), Mr. Byrnes’s assertion of “eight times” more revenue is deceptive. The average annual revenue from cash proffers since they were instituted in Hanover County was about $1.17 million, as Mr. Byrnes correctly stated in his letter.

However, as the board discussed at length on Nov. 28, this average was not a useful number. Cash proffers were initially set at low values in Hanover County and there was not as much housing inventory on which they were applied.

Therefore, the total value of case proffers early on was not much. The less misleading figure would be the average annual proffers revenue coming in the future, which was estimated to be about $10 million – not $1.7 million. Using the past performance of $1.7 million to dismiss the future value of a mature proffers system is the same logic as a basketball coach dismissing the value of LeBron James because his average annual height was only about four feet over the first 17 years of his life. Thus, even if Mr. Peterson’s plan “raises” $9 million annually, that is not eight times the $10 million in annual cash proffers it is displacing – Mr. Peterson’s plan falls about 10 percent behind.

Of course, it actually falls 100 percent behind because it raises no revenue at all.

People of every political persuasion are sick and tired of being deceived and treated like simpletons by our elected representatives and their shills.

Luckily, voters in the

Mechanicsville District have a choice on Nov. 3 – they can vote for Glenn Millican for supervisor.

Mr. Millican understands why the “Peterson plan” is the gift that will keep on stealing from the taxpayers and giving to the developers.

Voters in the Ashland District have the chance to elect Faye O. Prichard to that supervisor seat – she also understands the importance of the proffers issue.

Both Millican and Prichard have strong records of public service in Hanover based on respect for the average citizen, concern for fair and sound process, and understanding of the great responsibility entrusted to public officials.

Hanover County voters can put our local government on a trustworthy, competent course by electing Glenn Millican and Faye Prichard on Nov. 3.

Peterson supported As Election Day gets closer, I wanted to offer my wholehearted support for Canova Peterson, the Republican candidate for supervisor in the Mechanicsville District. He has successfully dedicated the last four years identifying and improving efficiencies and reducing costs allowing money to be spent on some other very important areas (Fire-EMS/ law enforcement and schools) without raising or adding taxes.

Mr. Peterson is a true leader and we need his continued leadership and guidance to ensure Hanover County continues to be that great place we all love to live and work in.

Honesty and Integrity is what

Schools better with Peterson The old adage that seeing is believing is more important than ever in a world of virtual reality and distorted social media. Particularly in politics, it is so easy for a candidate to say they hear the people of their district, they know there are issues, or to read reports filled with endless statistics.

But unless someone makes a concerted effort to remove

election, that the Hanover County School Board and administration identify these long-neglected deficiencies and develop a plan for correcting them. As an outgrowth of this request, they discovered that under others’ watch, maintenance of these schools had lagged for years. In addition to substandard conditions within the school buildings, it also was found that areas of technology and textbooks were woefully behind other county schools of their size. These schools were simply neglected in the past on so many levels.

Canova led the way to not only fund these areas of need going forward, but also made sure that the lagging maintenance was completed, giving our children safer, mold-free and more up-to-date learning tools.

A case in point was the deplorable physical conditions of Hanover County’s older legacy schools. Many in charge said they knew of the problems, were looking into the concerns, but only one person really bothered to actually go and see the conditions inperson, and that person was the Hanover County Board of Supervisors former chair and current member Canova Peterson.

Assistance leads to endorsement My name is Heather Bronson and I live on 7258

Mayetta Drive in Meadow Gate. I am writing to you today about Glenn Millican.

Glenn served as a member of the Hanover County School Board for 24 years. During his 23rd year of service, I was in need of some help from our Mechanicsville District representative related to an issue with one of my kids.

I searched the Internet for our representative’s name and called the number listed on the Hanover Schools website.

It was 8:30 p.m. on a week night and Glenn answered the phone. I quickly realized that the number listed on the website was his home number.

I apologized for calling his home, introduced myself, and mentioned that I needed some help from the school board. I said I would be brief in sharing my concerns since it was so late in the evening. Glenn kindly replied “Take all of the time you need. Start from the beginning and tell me what is wrong and how I can help.”

My first thought was wow

this is a real person and he is willing to hear me out from the beginning at 8:30 p.m.

From that evening on, Glenn took our concerns all the way through the process and up the chain with the school board.

When we went to a school board meeting to speak about our problems, he came out to the hall and talked to my elementary school age son and thanked him for sharing his concerns.

I was touched by his interaction with my child as well as by his support. I really felt that I had an ally in Glenn and I was so thankful for having a genuine person helping me with the challenges I was facing.

As I was leaving Meadow Gate a few weeks ago, I saw a sign with Glenn’s picture on Bell Creek Road. He is running for The Mechanicsville District seat on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

I am sharing the experience I had with Glenn with you to make sure that you know that

Country Estate Living...

Close to where you need to be

he is a person who will be present for us as residents of Mechanicsville. Please consider voting for him on Nov. 3.

I am confident that with Glenn as our representative, our community will be in great hands.

Your nseighbor, Heather Bronson Mechanicsville

Why proffers are important I am writing in response to a Hanover County Board of Supervisors seated member’s response (I believe it was Canova Peterson) to his stance against proffers published several weeks ago. This gentleman’s argument was that the $20,000 cost to the developers would be passed on to the consumer, and, therefore, their personal property taxes would be higher. Wow, that’s great rhetoric!

When I want to feel depressed, I pick up The Mechanicsville Local and look

at, what constitutes a city rowhouse in “Rutland” that is selling, price reduced, for $75,000 more than my all-brick 2,800square-foot, custom-built home on 2.5 private acres is computed at. Do you know why? For the simple reason that I live in the Lee-Davis district and do not have cable TV! Here is why proffers are so important. Does anybody like paying taxes; uh, no! However, proffers must be applied to ensure that our county’s infrastructure keeps up with growth.

Eastern Hanover is the “redheaded stepchild” of Hanover County. I was in high school when Atlee High School was built. At that time, students as far southeast as Studley Road and U.S. 360, five miles from Lee-Davis High School, were being bused to Atlee.

Hello! That was an indicator 25 years ago that there was a need for another secondary school in Eastern Hanover.

And so, Hanover High School

Gun World

was built four miles from Atlee — brilliant!

Now students from Battlefield Green, two miles from Lee-Davis, are being bused to Hanover just to get them to 65 to 70 percent capacity, while Lee-Davis is still “busting at the seams.”

In conclusion, proffers may drive up selling prices.

However, if proper infrastructure does not accompany growth, new homes in Hanover are actually devalued. I wonder if our seated board pays attention to the simple things.

Hey, let’s put up a new stop light at Bell Creek Road, even though the entrance to that area is being moved soon. To hell with U.S. 360 where Pebble Creek and Battlefield Green, the two largest subdivisions in Eastern Hanover’s main entrances, come out we’ll just wait for someone to be killed, then we’ll think about a stop light!

Bottom line, correct proffers with correct attention to see LETTERS, pg. 21

infrastructure maintenance will justify the ends. Again, to the seated board, stupid things like stop light timing is oblivious to you — something so simple would improve the quality of our lives! Why is it that, during rush hour, every stop light only lets four cars go through at 360 and Lee-Davis Road?

Endorsement for Prichard I am a life-long resident of Ashland and Hanover County and the many people who have known me through the years also know that I am a diehard Republican.

But when it comes to our next choice of supervisor in the Ashland District, there is no substitute for experience.

Faye O. Prichard has served the Town of Ashland well in

the last 14 years as a responsible and fiscally conservative town council member who listens to her constituents and looks at issues from all angles.

Her opponent, Web Stokes, has only lived in the county for a few years, has never been in public office or served on any committee, and does not possess the kind of knowledge and understanding of Hanover that is required.

The Hanover County Board of Supervisors position cannot be on-the-job training.

I urge my fellow Republicans in the Ashland District to put the best interests of the county first by voting for Ms. Prichard on Nov. 3.

Canova provided plans, specifications, and details, which were highly accurate leading to construction, with limited change orders and costs overruns. Our project, when we hired Canova, had the same very low change order experience.

An architect, administrator and objective party as liaison between his clients and the Builders, Canova has a specialty in church new construction and remodeling in Central Virginia as he has very good ongoing relationships with churches of all denominations and he has a great word of mouth reputation.

Fast forward to recent years. When Canova took office, he strived to be accountable on a fiduciary level with the people’s money of Hanover County. One of the first challenges was to analyze all levels of cost spending for Hanover.

The school system was a challenge. The financial data was not set up as to be user friendly.

Not even the Hanover County School Board members could explain some of the spending.

Under Canova’s insistence, helped by new assistant superintendent David Myers, this became more transparent and the school board for the first time ever established a finance subcommittee. This may have been one of the things that kept Canova from reappoint-

As someone who is all too familiar with the particulars and history of Hanover County politics, I am deeply saddened by our current state.

There seems to be a lack of transparency, lack of ethics and disregard for the voice and opinions of the residents.

Sometimes people need to forget about party lines for the greater cause of the county and progress. We greatly need someone like Glenn Millican to bring that sense of pride back to our county.

Glenn Millican is running for the Hanover County Board of Supervisors seat in the Mechanicsville District and he, more than anyone, deserves our support.

Glenn has already worked tirelessly and given of himself to the people of Hanover through his 24 years on the Hanover County School Board.

Supporting Glenn is easy as he values what all residents continuously request and need, but no one seems to listen.

Glenn has a 24-year record to prove he actually listens, acts, makes himself fully accessible, is completely ethical, and

has no hidden agenda.

To put it bluntly, Glenn values the citizens of Hanover County.

Glenn will advocate for all HCBOS meetings to be public. He will bring transparency back to the board. He will strive to put all county financial information online and accessible to us, the taxpaying citizens. It’s our money. Don’t we have a right to know how

it’s being spent?

Glenn has always been and will continue to be a staunch supporter of our Sheriff ’s Office and Fire-EMS. He will work to ensure they are all back up to full staff. Our safety is a priority!

Glenn will ensure the appropriate funds are budgeted for the schools badly needing repair. Our children and

Glenn knows that we are a community of small business owners. He will work towards developing a small business accelerator so our neighborhood establishments can not only grow but compete with surrounding counties!

Glenn also is concerned, as we all are, with growth and traffic in our small town. He believes in quality over quantity when it comes to development.

With his years in county service, coupled with his long career as a certified public accountant (CPA), Glenn is the perfect candidate to establish a responsible comprehensive financial plan for Hanover.

Peterson kept promise Almost four years ago, voters elected Canova Peterson as the Mechanicsville District representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

He promised during his campaign that he would turn government stumbling blocks into stepping stones. I believe Canova has honored this promise; and, if you agree, I ask that you take a few minutes on Tuesday, Nov. 3, and vote for his re-election.

When he took office on Jan. 1, 2012, the Great Recession was dragging down the economy. Tax revenues and state funding were declining. Some people advocated for tax increases to cover this shortfall. However, during Canova’s first town hall meeting, one citizen asked how people could talk about raising taxes when people were losing their jobs and some their homes.

Fortunately, Canova and his fellow board members unanimously rejected raising taxes.

They showed dogged

determination to find ways to reduce costs without decreasing services and without raising taxes.

They found government departments that had duplicated functions — for example, payroll processing and grounds maintenance — and they consolidated those department functions as a cost saving measure.

In the fall of 2012, Canova proposed that the county government reserve $9 million per year for the next 20 years ($180 million total).

The money going into this reserve came from an old bond issue that was nearly paid off.

I could be able to go up there on the stage on ‘The Price Is Right.’ I really had a pretty narrow focus; that was the reason

ings account for future anticipated expenses.

That simple conservative fiscal approach has already benefitted the citizens of Hanover County.

Here are some examples:

Hanover County has earned a triple-A bond rating so it pays the lowest interest costs on any borrowed money.

The county was required by the state to build a new court house complex to alleviate overcrowded conditions in the current court buildings. There was not enough revenue to do this in 2009. By 2014, the county’s financial position allowed this project to go forward to meet the state mandate.

The board of supervisors could add new law enforcement, Fire/EMS and

school personnel.

When Canova’s trained eye as an architect with over 40 years of experience noted the physical deterioration of our older school facilities, particularly Lee-Davis, Stonewall, Mechanicsville and Washington and Henry, due to years of maintenance neglect, the board of supervisors had sufficient resources to budget millions to rectify the long-term neglect of those schools.

Now the next four years will bring a new set of challenges. Unfunded federal and state environmental mandates will be the biggest financial cost the county will face.

However, because of the conservative fiscal discipline applied to county governance, Hanover County is in a strong

financial position to meet these challenges.

Rhu Harris, county administrator, recently said that Hanover County is in the strongest financial condition in history.

Other political leaders have noted Canova’s leadership. He has received endorsements from U.S. Rep. David Brat, State Sen. Ryan McDougle, Del. Chris Peace and long serving retired Del. Frank Hargrove Sr. I believe Canova has, by action and not just by word, given Hanover County his best effort. I hope you will support Canova with your vote on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3.

In 1923, the VFW was the first veteran’s organization to promote a national organized campaign for the annual distribution of poppies assembled by disabled or hospitalized veterans.

That tradition continues today, with more than 16 million poppies assembled by paid, disabled and hospitalized veterans each year.

Members of the VFW and its Ladies Auxiliary raise more

than $15 million annually from the distribution of Buddy Poppies.

The VFW, founded in 1899, is the nation’s oldest major veteran’s organization.

Its more than 2.1 million

members include 1.1 million veterans of World War II, 526,000 Vietnam American military actions in Haiti, Somalia, the Persian Gulf, Grenada, Panama, Lebanon and Bosnia, as well as expe-

I was going there — to get on the stage.”

As is common when someone appears on a game show, Cox couldn’t discuss how he performed on the stage. That will be revealed Tuesday.

“I wasn’t called up in the first batch of people. I didn’t really think I was going up there,” he added.

Cox did say it’s a totally different scenario when you’re actually there than watching

the show on television.

“It’s really hard to hear anything there in the audience.

They put this big card up with your name on it to know to go up there. It took me off guard.”

Cox said there isn’t much interaction with host Drew Carey. “It’s so noisy when you’re actually in there — everything is extremely loud. You can barely hear your own voice.”

He said the studio and small “and everyone is yelling and shouting. Drew was very hospital, seems very friendly.”

“They have a lot of people working behind the scenes ,pointing to where you need to go, putting a mic on you. It’s quite an operation; you don’t realize how many cameras and pivots and backstage people there are up there running around [when watching it on TV].”

He didn’t get to make the trip to California until later in July.

“I wish I could have been there early like my birthday, which is on July 5. Yeah, that’s pretty much what I wanted for

my birthday.”

In addition to the experience with “The Price Is Right,” Cox and his mother “saw some live theater shows at the Geffen Playhouse and also saw ‘Phantom of the Opera’ at another theater.”

He said they explored Los Angeles, “checked out the beach and such.”

Cox and his mom spent four days in Los Angeles.

Cox is a full-time student at Randolph-Macon College.

The freshman is majoring in chemistry.

“It’s kind of cool,” he said of seeing his birthday wish come true. “I know a lot of people believed in me, and I have so many who support me like my mom taking me down there.”

He also acknowledged the support of his girlfriend, Rebecca Hal. “She believed in me.”

He has done nothing to cause me to lose trust or confidence in him. Like a lot of people, I follow the national political arena much more than the local one.

She moved to New Kent County and attended primary and elementary schools. It was there she met her future husband, Shane Lawler, in fourth grade.

They kept in touch and after his third tour in Iraq serving as a Marine, they were wed.

tion of an automobile, truck or motorcycle service station.

Currently a vacant gas station, the future land use classification for the property would be Interstate Commercial.

The Ashland Planning Commission, also at its Sept. 9 meeting, voted to recommend approval of CUP15-0617 with the addition of eight conditions.

Conditions placed on CUP15-0617: Inoperable motor vehicles are only allowed on the property if they are being serviced on the site within a 30day period.

Display or items determined as outdoor display shall be located on a paved surface and not within the 20-foot front landscape setback from East Patrick Henry Highway/ Route 54 and Mount Hermon Road and display materials shall not be stacked higher than 6 feet.

If a wash station is constructed to wash, service and clean vehicles or equipment, the wash station shall be connected to a sanitary sewer system and not into the storm sewer system.

In accordance with Town Code section 16-10, the entrance from Mount Hermon Road needs to be repaired and maintained by the property owner.

Street trees shall be placed at one per 50 feet of street frontage and maintained at all times and the existing landscape islands in 20 feet front landscape buffer shall be improved and maintained at all times to town standards.

The property owner, business proprietor, as well as the business, and any employees, agents, in dependent contractors and the like of the business shall be in compliance with all federal, state and local laws at all times.

A record system, either paper or electronic, shall be made available for review by

the Town of Ashland at any time for make, model and serial number for all parts purchased or sold as well as for repair work performed.

The applicant shall participate as necessary in the recordation of this CUP in Hanover County Circuit Court.

During discussion of the CUP request, council member Steve Trivett made a comment about the currently broken curb at the property location entrance off Mount Hermon Road saying, “The issue with the broken curb is something that [I believe] an operation there will improve. Since no one is using the site, truckers are using this as a turnaround spot and taking advantage of that wide area and the fact that no one is there.”

Referring to the property location as “a gateway to the town,” council member Faye O. Prichard expressed concern about the upkeep and landscaping of the property and asked Nora Amos, director of Planning and Community Development, if she is confident that the correct conditions are in place to ensure that the business and property provide the right impression of the Town of Ashland to those entering the town.

Town Attorney Andrea

Erard responded, saying, “We have drafted these conditions as carefully as we can, but, quite honestly, even if they’re drafted as tightly as you can draft them in order to enforce them, your choices are to go to court or to initiate a public hearing to revoke the Conditional Use Permit.”

“I believe the conditions that we recommended are ones that we would recommend for any similar use and are probably as far as we could go in the scope and realm of what you can look at with a Conditional Use Permit with the nexus of the actual use,” Amos added.

When discussing the CUP with the applicant, it was discovered that League, who also owns some land located off Ashcake Road in Hanover County, has previously been convicted of a zoning violation in the General District Court in connection with this property and a mobile home he placed there.

At this time, League is working toward taking steps to ensure compliance with the zoning ordinance.

Prichard made a motion to defer the council’s decision on CUP15-0617 until the Nov. 3 town council meeting.

a number of issues, each having the opportunity to respond to the same question without rebuttal from either candidate.

Prichard and Stokes took to the podium first to answer questions from moderator Marc Creery, chair of the Hanover Business Council.

Audience members also submitted questions for the candidates.

Both candidates agreed that expanded career and technical offerings for Hanover students is a step in the right direction.

Stokes, who works in the contracting business, said there is a shortage of skilled labor that exists today.

“Not everyone in the education system is geared for college,” Stokes said. “I want to help people who don’t have high-paying jobs.”

Prichard, a VCU professor, agreed. “Higher education is not for everybody.”

Both asserted the need for dependable high speed Internet.

Prichard said partnerships like the one established by Ashland with Randolph-Macon College provide expanded Internet services without undue burdens on the taxpayer.

Stokes asserted that some of the cost must be shouldered by business, but agreed that high

approved $20 million over the next five years for more renovations and restoration.

“That’s only $6 a square foot over five years,” Millican responded. He said the school system has made difficult choices in recent years placing priorities in the classroom and putting physical projects on the back burner.

“When you have bad choices to make, you keep money in the classrooms,” Millican said.

Both agreed on the importance of high speed Internet and its role in economic development. Peterson proposed targeting areas where enough customers exist to attract private investment in Internet services. He said the govern-

speed Internet is a necessity.

He suggested placing that emphasis on the Suburban Service Area. “It’s vital if we are going to continue to grow.”

Both addressed the growing issue of homeless and poor families living in aging motels

in Ashland. Prichard encouraged a community approach with faith-based organizations providing services to assist worthy families.

As for the criminal element that also utilizes the short-term rentals, she said, “they need to go.”

Stokes said it’s a longstanding issue that will require a “holistic” approach. “It’s a critical issue to anyone affected by it.”

They were then asked if government should be involved in providing pad-ready sites for

economic development.

“I’m not a big fan of spending taxpayers’ money to develop private property,” Stokes said. “It’s not your money, so you have to be smart about it.”

Prichard said she could support that policy, theoretically,

and, in specific instances, and pointed to the aging motels along U.S. 1 as examples of land that could be transformed to a higher use with government assistance.

tant issue. And for that reason the single thing I would ask for if you were considering a prioritized list would be adding at least a foot to the deep end of the pool,” Trent said.

One of the reasons Trent places a deeper pool at the top of his priority list is because the swimming league he coaches is bound by USA swimming rules.

According to Trent, these rules state that in order to teach diving instruction all swimmers must be certified safe divers in a minimum of 6 feet of water.

Because the Carter Park Pool does not currently go to a depth of 6 feet, during swim season the Barracudas have had to rent time at the YMCA or use private pools of team members to ensure certification, Trent said.

Patti Davis, an Ashland resident and season pass holder, also spoke at the meeting, suggesting that the Lombardy evergreen trees that currently line the pool fence be replaced with deciduous trees, that the fence be extended back to where the Lombardy trees are currently located, that the gate be widened, and that there be surveillance cameras put in place.

Davis also expressed concerns about the current circle drive parking lot, saying that it makes it difficult for people to park and get in and out of the area.

In addition, she is not convinced that, at this time, there is enough space for an emergency vehicle, should the need for one arise, to properly get to the pool and exit in a timely manner.

Jennifer Morris, an Ashland resident and swim team mom, also spoke, saying she doesn’t

feel as though the pool is as much of a fun draw for community members compared to when she first moved there a handful of years ago.

She added she hopes the process for the Carter Park Pool renovation considers more practical amenities, such as more shade, and what will make the pool more usable for more people.

Following public comment, attendees were given three green and three red dot stickers to place on display boards next to a list of amenities that people requested in the surveys.

Amenities listed for voting included: Additional lap lanes Deeper pool for swim meets Slide More deck space Splash pad area

More shade structures

Adults only area/ pool Zero depth entry into the pool

Separate zero depth entry kiddie pool

Diving board with diving well Aquatic beach areas

More “features” and “toys” for children Additional lap lanes and a deeper pool for swim meets garnered the most green dots while an adults only area/ pool received the most red dots.

The next Ashland Parks and Recreation meeting will be held Nov. 18 at the Dominion Resources Innovation Center located at 201 Duncan St. The Parks and Recreation committee has placed a survey about the Carter Park Pool renovation on the Town of Ashland website in order to gain additional public input.

The evening will include games, prizes, an auction and raffle.

Admission is $20 and covers 16 bingo games, snacks and a chance for door prizes.

For more information, call 804-883-7378 or visit www. montpeliercenter.org.

The Center’s office hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appoint-

ment.

The building is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

“I want to have a better sense of, quite frankly, this applicant’s history of how property is kept,” Prichard said. “I also want to have a better understanding of where he is not in compliance in the county and I want to make sure we have everything in place as best we can to protect that gateway.”

Council approved Prichard’s motion, with Trivett voting “No.” Town council also briefly discussed the Ashland Theater.

Town Manager Charles Hartgrove updated council on recent discussions and meetings he and town staff have had since the last town council meeting.

Hartgrove and town staff have met with the group of individuals that have proposed the nonprofit plan and met with them again on Oct. 21.

There also was an Oct. 27 meeting scheduled with the Department of Community and Housing Development in which the deputy director of the agency was scheduled to be present.

Hartgrove noted that, depending on the results of that meeting with the DCHD, he may request an emergency council meeting this week.

“We’re hoping that the deputy director of the agency being there that guidance will be given and we will have a better understanding of where we stand and what the options are

for the grant,” Hartgrove said.

In other business, Ashland Police Department (APD) Chief Douglas Goodman presented quarterly awards to officers of the APD. Joe Topham, business retention and expansion manager, gave an economic development update, saying he has been able to visit more than 200 local businesses since he joined the town staff in May. He also noted that the town recently has had a series of grand openings for local businesses, including Sugar Fix Bakery and Little Caesar’s.

The next Ashland Town Council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, at Ashland Town Hall located at 101 Thompson St.

ment needs to help make it available, but “We do not need to provide it ourselves.”

Millican suggested increasing workstations at local libraries to provide citizens with Internet access. “Perhaps we could expand hours or make more work space available,” he said. “It is absolutely critical to have that digital

presence.”

Millican stressed the need for small business support and improved emphasis on education, specifically pointing to creeping class sizes.

“We need to have a priority of a great education system,” Millican said. “Tonight, I ask you for your vote. I pledge to address these issues.

I would like you to join with me and make Mechanicsville and Hanover stronger not

just for the next four years, but put in place an environment and plan that will continue for decades to come and boost our small business, boost our education system, and pay them the attention and give them the effort that they deserve.”

Peterson pointed to a record of achievement over the past four years, and a philosophy that works for Hanover County.

“I do believe that government works best when it’s kept to minimum interference with the rest of our citizens,” he said. “I’d like you to look at my record over the past four years.

Do you want to continue with the approach we’ve been taking over the last four years … and continue going forward?” he concluded.

Voters head to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 3. Hours are from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

where she graduated Summa Cum Laude. She did this while completing her coursework in International Studies and French with a minor in Political Science in three years. That’s a double major and minor while working 20 hours per week to pay for her education in only three years. To say that she is intelligent and a master at uti-

If you have heard Mrs. Lawler speak, you will have found her to be both composed and articulate.

Error-prone Patrick Henry falls to Raiders

By Kris Mason for the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – With both team’s Region 5A North playoff hopes on the line, both Atlee and Patrick Henry needed wins with the Patriots visited the Raiders Friday night.

After a close first half, the Raiders took advantage a huge goal line stand to cool any Patrick Henry momentum and rolled to a 34-20 victory Friday night.

The victory keeps Atlee’s Region 5A North playoffs alive while placing more pressure on the Patriots, who began the night just outside of the region’s top 16 teams.

The Raiders held a mere 146 lead at halftime, and Patrick Henry had an excellent scoring opportunity early in the second half that could have changed the course of the game. Atlee hd been driving deep into Patriot territory before defensive tackle Davon Carter intercepted a pass and returned the pick 42 yards to the Raiders’ 25-yard line.

Patrick Henry worked down to a first-and-goal opportunity, but the Atlee defense stopped the Patriots on fourth down from the 3-yard line.

Atlee head coach Roscoe Johnson was impressed with his team’s mental toughness, especially during the goal-line stand.

Lee-Davis defense gets stops when needed

By Arthur Utley For the Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Lee-Davis needed a bounceback victory after a big shutout loss to Highland Springs last week, and got it Friday night on the road against county rival Hanover.

The Confederates, ranked No. 9 in The Times-Dispatch Top 10, can thank their offense for a two-touchdown first quarter and their defense from the start for a 20-12 victory over the Hawks.

After winning just two games a year ago, the Confederates are 7-1 this year and in a good place for postseason play. The Hawks, who got their own bounce-back victory a week ago after a shutout loss to Highland Springs, dropped to 5-3, but they are still wellpositioned in the 4A playoff race.

The Confederates took the opening kickoff and drove 64 yards in 11 plays. The touchdown came on a 3-yard run by Nathan Evans.

Hanover put together a nice drive on the ensuing possession. The Confederates’ defense

gave up yardage in the face of Hanover’s running game, but forced the Hawks to settle for a John Dustin field goal from 31 yards.

On its next possession, Lee-Davis covered 59 yards in four plays. Quarterback Chase Mummau and Nick Reisenweaver hooked up for 48 yards on the first play, and after a false-start penalty, Mummau hit Miles Johnson for a 15-yard touchdown pass on the fourth play of the drive. The pointafter attempt failed, and LeeDavis led 13-3.

The Hawks’ defense made some adjustments and put the Confederates’ offense in cold storage. Lee-Davis ran just nine plays in the second quarter, had a short punt that led to Dustin’s second field goal, and took a knee to end the first half.

Mummau threw three interceptions, and Evans, one of the area’s top ground gainers, was held in check until he broke free for an 88-yard touchdown run with less than a minute left that sealed the victory.

“We found a way to win,” said Lee-Davis coach Ryan

Cole Sims finds football home with MIT Engineers

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor

MECHANICSVILLE – Cole Sims is a warrior on the football field.

A multi-year starter at Atlee High School – who was part of a series of powerful Raider offensive lines until his graduation last year – he routinely pushed opponents around on the field.

But Sims was more than a big, strong football player – he

was a strong scholar, too – and when looking for a home to pursue his collegiate education, he aimed for the top: the Nobel laureate-rich environs of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“I always took a lot of pride in my education,” Sims said.

“Football didn’t ever really come natural to me. It was something that I had to work hard for. …

Academics always was something I was pretty good at. So academics, then, becomes a

constant in my life whereas athletics has been in and out.”

He decided he would select a school based on academics first rather than athletics, and was attending a summer camp at Harvard when he met some MIT football coaches, including head coach Chad Martinovich.

“I talked to those coaches there and they started recruiting me,” Sims said. “I realized that MIT is the No. 1 school in the world and if I could get in, I’d be going to the best school

I could possibly go to and play the best sport in the world. To me, there’s nothing better.”

Martinovich said he was a perfect fit for the Engineers.

“Fortunately, with our national reputation, we are able to recruit kids that are not only qualified academically for MIT, but can actually help us on the football field at the same time,” Martinovich said. “It is a niche. You have to find that unique young man that has a passion for math and science

and wants to go through the academic rigor that is MIT, and at the same point put the time into being good on the football field.”

Sims’ first season has been marred by injuries, including a shoulder injury that limited his playing time somewhat and a high-ankle sprain that recently ended his season. But he has more than enough to keep him occupied in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

“The classes are definitely

The Mechanicsville Local

hard,” Sims said. “It’s something that I expected coming in.

Everybody tells you that MIT is defined as a ‘pressure cooker’ by a lot of people.

“But actually, coming from Atlee, I thought I was very well prepared. The staff at Atlee, I don’t think they could have done any better than they did.

I haven’t gone to a class yet where there was something to learn that I haven’t at least heard about in high school. I’ve been very lucky.”

Dill, Burch top field in Central Zone qualifier

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor PETERSBURG – Patrick Henry’s Andrea Dill survived the deep rough and ample water traps to win the VHSL Girls Central Zone qualifier golf tournament at Dogwood Trace Golf Course Tuesday.

Dill shot an 82, one stroke ahead of teammate Shea Burch and Glen Allen’s Cameron Cook. Cosby’s Abby Gschwind, who came in fourth with an 84, clinched the remaining berth in the VHSL Girls Open golf championship, which was held after this edition went to press on Monday and Tuesday at Red Wing Lake Golf Course in Virginia Beach.

The four will join Atlee’s Erica Whitehouse, along with other local golfers Diana Domenech (Mills Godwin), Peyton Durham (Dinwiddie), Addie Parker (Monacan) and Celadon Ramsey (Glen Allen) who had already qualified for the girls open.

For Dill, it is her third and last – she’s a senior – appearance in the Girls’ Open. She feels she has grown a lot since her first appearance.

“When I first qualified, I wasn’t as confident in my game, but I’ve worked on it a lot and I’m a lot more confident going into it this year,” Dill said. “I think it will be better.”

But she still has things to work on.

“I have to work on the greens, my putting and chipping,” Dill said. “That’s where all your scores really add up in the end. So I need to work on that a lot before we go down

there. But my drives and my iron shots have been great this past season.”

Burch, though she also qualified for the Girls Open last year, was especially pleased with her performance this year.

“I’m pretty excited. I shot

much better than I did last year,” Burch said. “I’m glad to be back in.”

She said her experience last year will come in handy.

“I think it will help a little bit,” Burch said. “It will tame my nerves a little bit because it’s not

the first go round-about it.”

Cook, a junior, was thrilled to be joining her teammate Ramsey – who had already qualified for the Girls Open and her two Capital District rivals from Ashland at the state tournament.

“I feel pretty great about myself,” Cook said. “It started off a little rough today, but pushed through it and I was fine.”

She said she wasn’t having a problem with any one thing when she started.

“In the beginning it was a little bit of everything,” Cook said. “I tried to clear my head and just stop thinking, and the back nine was really good.”

Hanover’s Bella Seip just missed making the cut for the Girls Open. Seip, who finished seventh among the field of 20 was three spots out of the running. While she was disappointed in her finish, her coach, Chris Pace, was happy with how she did.

“I’m very proud of her,” Pace said. “She shot 117 last year. She shot 93 today. That’s 24 strokes in the right direction.”

She began the day with a 42 on the front nine, but ran into trouble on the back nine and never quite recovered.

Pace thought it was an excellent growth opportunity for the sophomore.

“The beauty of this tournament is that it’s a high-pressure situation,” Pace said. “All postseason golf is a high-pressure situation. She learned that you’ve got to go play the next shot.”

Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

Patriots, Samuel Hart passed 11 yards and a touchdown and ran for 130 yards and another touchdown.

On the kicking side, Atlee’s Ethan Ratke made field goals from 42 yards and 32 yards as well as all four extra point attempts. Patrick Henry’s Logan Bulthuis missed two extra points and a 37 yard field goal.

The rushing game looked quite different. While Atlee’s

A.J. Zollar carried the ball carried the ball nine times for 115 yards – most of that on an 80yard run for the Raiders’ first score – and two touchdowns in all, Patrick Henry’s Joshua Guerrero carried the ball 20 times for 174 yards.

The Patriots led in an uncomfortable category: penalties. They were flagged 12 times for 98 yards. They finished with two turnovers themselves – an

interception and a fumble – and turned the ball over on down a total of three times.

But Patrick Henry coach Bryan Davis gave his team an uplifting message following the game.

“I told them, ‘Failure is an event, not a person,’ ” Davis said. “ ‘You guys were part of the event and let’s see if we can do something to minimize these events in the future.’ ”

Zollar’s 80-yard scamper came on the second play of the game, but Patrick Henry responded by the end of the first quarter. Patriot running back Brandon Braxton broke free for an 18-yard touchdown run to give his team a chance to tie, but a missed extra point left the score at 7-6.

The second quarter was scoreless until Atlee’s Justin Hall caught an 8 yard pass from

Harris with 51 seconds left in the half to stake the Raiders a 14-6 lead.

Atlee extended its lead to 3412 before Patrick Henry scored a touchdown and 2-point conversion with six seconds left in the game.

Atlee plays Varina at home Friday while Patrick Henry hosts Highland Springs.

Patrick Henry’s Andrea Dill sinks a putt for par on the 17th hole in the Central Zone girls golf qualifier at Dogwood Trace Golf Course in Petersburg Tuesday. Dill finished with an 82, one shot ahead of teammate Shea Burch and Glen Allen’s Cameron Cook to take first place. Dill, Burch, Cook and Cosby’s Abby Gschwind, who finished fourth, qualified for the Virginia High School League Girls Open golf tournament from Oct. 26 and 27 at Red Wing Lake Golf Course in Virginia Beach.

R-MC thrashes Marlins to claim ODAC top spot ASHLAND – RandolphMacon’s women’s volleyball team celebrated senior night in grand fashion Wednesday night in Crenshaw Gymnasium: The Yellow Jackets seized first place in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference standings with a 25-15, 25-21, 25-14 sweep of visiting Virginia Wesleyan.

Randolph-Macon (19-3, 10-0 ODAC) and the Marlins (21-7, 9-1) went into the game undefeated in ODAC play. The Yellow Jackets knocked Virginia Wesleyan into a tie for second place with Washington & Lee. Because it was senior night, Randolph-Macon head coach Bill Rogers started five seniors – outside hitter Addie Cooper, outside hitter Courtney Lowers, setter Riley Martin, middle hitter Emily Ortiz and middle hitter Katie Rossberg – an atypical move that paid off in an intensity that carried them through

the first game and set the tone for the match.

“I started off five of my seniors on purpose, and I thought they really stepped up,” Rogers said. “That’s not my normal starting lineup. They did well.”

The Yellow Jackets had a harder time disposing of the Marlins in the second game, as Virginia Wesleyan nearly matched them in intensity. The game was marked by well-contested points, but RandolphMacon eventually prevailed.

“Before the game, I told them that it was going to be a closer game. I said I thought we carried the first game with some emotion,” said Rogers, who called a couple of timeouts in the second game to give the Yellow Jackets a breather. “It’s a pretty veteran group and we played a lot of players this year, so I feel like I can put anybody out there. I put my freshman out there halfway through that game … and she did well.”

The Marlins contested every point, but head coach Andrea Hoover said Randolph-Macon earned the victory.

“I think we battled every point the second game. We made less errors the second game,” Hoover said. “They were fantastic tonight. You’ve got to really respect what RandolphMacon does on the floor. I thought their senior players played fantastic. They beat us tonight. They deserved to win this match.”

Rossberg led the Yellow Jackets with 17 kills, while Lowers had 12 kills, 12 digs and five blocks. Middle hitter Colleen Beaver also finished with five blocks. Martin finished with 21 assists and Erin Quinn added 13 more. Libero Samantha Sallade had 24 digs.

Virginia Wesleyan’s Tiffany Barrett had 13 kills and Marin Crowder had 14 digs.

well to beat them. And I think we did very well,” said Tanner, a defensive end. “They moved the ball between the 20s but that doesn’t matter. It’s what happens inside the 20 that matters the most.”

Next up for Lee-Davis will be Henrico, which took it on the chin 21-0 against Highland Springs on Friday night.

“We’ve just got to take the momentum,” Turnage said.

“We’ve got two games left in the regular season. This win is our seventh, so we should be in position to make the 5A playoffs. It’s just a matter of where we’re seeded. We’ve got to keep getting better.”

Arthur Utley can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Turnage. “That’s basically it.

Our defense stepped up and held them to four field goals.

That’s pretty good. When you hold a team that runs the football when they get down in the red zone to four field goals ... that’s a bend-but-don’t-break mentality.”

The Hawks were able to move the ball, but mistakes — an interception by Sam Tanner stopped their momentum in the second quarter and a holding call negated a Marcus Bazala touchdown in the fourth — cost them dearly.

“We prepared all week for a heavy run game. We knew they were strong on the offensive Lee-Davis line. We knew we had to play Hanover

Atlee turns back Eagles

By Laura Fien Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – The next play is always the best play.

That’s what went through the minds of the Atlee Raiders as they rallied from a six-point deficit in the fourth set to defeat the visiting Mills Godwin Eagles 25-12, 25-16, 16-25, 25-22 on Monday night.

“It’s a saying we have on our team,” three-year varsity starter Owen Ward said. “It means if you make a mistake, just worry about the next play.”

And for the most part, Atlee coach Nick Robinson let his players create the plays that worked best for them.

“Owen runs the offense, unless I see things that I want to change,” Robinson said. “I

inches in 2015) and a 33inch wide radiator pan (38 inches in 2015). That setup, NASCAR hopes, along with Goodyear developing trackspecific tires - which was seen at the Kentucky and Darlington races this past season - will allow for more passing over the entire track, especially in the corners, as drivers will have to lay off the throttle, decreasing speeds in the turns.

“We’re continuing to work with the industry on developing the appropriate elements of the rules for each track,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR’s executive vice president and chief racing development officer, during a national media teleconference. “… The core goal for us continues to remain the same, and that’s deliver the best and safest racing possible for the fans. And it’s a goal that the

called the offense for the last 10 points in Set 4 just because I was watching their lineup make changes and so I was just making sure we were getting the splits we wanted and were lining up on the ball.”

The Eagles adjusted, too.

After Atlee dominated the first two sets, the Eagles were not ready to go home and led 18-10 before securing the third set. Ward took the blame.

“I know who to set to, they know where to hit, they know what I like to pass, I know what they like to hit,” Ward said. “The third set, I did a bad job and we sort of fell down because of that.”

But Robinson found a benefit in the Raiders’ third-set loss.

“Losing that set was a good thing, it kind of puts it into perspective for us that we’re not

undefeatable.”

But the Raiders are versatile, and Chui Elliott is thankful to be part of such a team.

“I think it says a lot that we can win and still have fun at the same time,” Elliott said.

“Last year, it was pretty twosided, and this year everybody stepped up and I just think it is really good that we are very versatile, and we have people on the bench that can always step in.”

And though the Eagles have one of the area’s best offenses, there is another win on which Robinson likes to reflect.

“We beat Princess Anne in the preseason, so that’s the biggest feather in our cap.,” Robinson said of the defending state champion. “We did that once and I hope we get a chance to do it again.”

entire industry shares.

“We’re confident it’s going to continue to deliver great racing for the fans.”

At RIR more drama would be welcomed.

In the 2014 fall race at Richmond, winner Brad Keselowski led 383 of the 400lap race. Kevin Harvick was the only other drive to lead that race, and it was for only 17 laps.

In this year’s spring race, Kurt Busch led 291 of the 400 laps on his way to victory lane.

Then, last month, Matt Kenseth led 352 of the 400 laps to take the checkered flag.

The package was considered a success at Kentucky Speedway (1.5 miles) and Darlington Raceway (1.366 miles) this season. But how it will translate to RIR’s shorter .75-mile track is still to be determined.

“I watched the Kentucky race and was at the Darlington race, and seeing it on TV and seeing it live, you can really see the dif-

ference where the cars seem to be on the edge,” RIR president Dennis Bickmeier said. “And if you look at the fans’ reaction, it was overwhelmingly positive.

“So I look at today’s move as positive moving into 2016.

Not being a technical person, but being around the sport for 15 years, I can see a difference in the cars. I can’t see anything negative about this.”

The different gear rations and tire configurations set up specifically to each track will also go a long way to the ontrack action. Also in next year’s new rules package,rear gear ratios will be adjusted to maintain a maximum engine speed of 9,000 RPM and a 1.38 thirdgear ratio will be used at all tracks smaller than 1.25 miles.

For more side-by-side racing different tire setups are also key, according to Busch. But so is less downforce.

“I think for that style of racing to return to Richmond, you have to make the handling a

little worse, which means less downforce and a different tire to allow the race cars to slide around,” Busch said in September. “Right now the preferred groove is right on the bottom of the racetrack, and what we need are options to be able to go to the high lane and produce the same lap times.

That way, we could run high or low, allowing us to get side by side. So we need to find the aerodynamic package along with the tire package to balance things out a little better to allow that side-by-side racing.”

That aligns with what Bickmeier was hearing from drivers and fans after September’s race.

“Fans want to see that sideby-side racing they’re accustom to seeing at Richmond,” Bickmeier said. “At a track like this, you want to see drivers battle for that space. And when you’re side-by-side, it’s the first one to that specific piece of real estate.”

Boy Scouts of America Troop 553 of Mechanicsville recently partnered with Varina Troop 501 in conducting an environmental cleanup on the James River from Deep Bottom to Dutch Gap. This was a joint effort with the James River Association, the Heart of Virginia Council and Bridgestone Americas LLC and was called the TireLess James. The 18 boy scouts and seven adult leaders launched five power boats and towed several jon boats from Deep Bottom Boat Ramp to recover tires from the river. Bridgestone provided free hauling from the ramp and recycling. The Boy Scouts recovered a total of 41 tires from the river. The troop spent the weekend on the river and, besides recovering tires, they camped, cooked, fished, swam, kayaked and had a great weekend. Both troops are part of the Battlefield District and Nick Harman is the district executive for Battlefield. Troop 553 of Mechanicsville is sponsored

by American Legion Post 175 and Richard Perry is its scoutmaster. Troop 501 of Varina is sponsored by Laurel Hill United Methodist Church and its scoutmaster is John King.

Winters earns Eagle Scout rank with fence project at camp Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — David Winters earned the rank of Eagle Scout on Sept.

8. He is a member of Troop 505, which meets at New Highland Baptist Church in Mechanicsville.

David, 15, is a freshman at Maggie L. Walker Governor School.

He has held the leadership positions of Senior Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Webmaster and Scribe for Troop 505.

He also is a member of Order of the Arrow, an honor

society for Boy Scouts.

David’s Eagle Scout project was to build a 120-foot fence at the Girl Scout Camp Pamunkey Ridge in Hanover.

The fence was requested by the park ranger in order to secure tools and materials around the ranger’s shed/work site and to improve the aesthetics of this area of the camp.

David planned the needed materials and supplies, solicited local businesses for donations, and provided leadership to 12 scouts, four scout leaders and three other adults to successfully complete the project.

U.S. Rep. Dave Brat, R-7, has endorsed incumbent Canova Peterson, Republican, for reelection to the Mechanicsville District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

He described Peterson as “an outstanding public servant.”

Brat noted that he and Peterson met four years ago before either were elected to public office.

“I immediately realized that he is a man of sound character, conservative values, and high principles. Since then, we have both been elected to positions where we can serve our fellow citizens,” the congressman added.

He said that he keeps “close tabs on what is going on in my district and have noticed that Canova has done something very unusual for someone in the world of politics. He has done exactly what he promised to do during his campaign. He has also maintained the highest ethical standards when making decisions for our community.”

I fully support and endorse Canova Peterson to continue to serve the good people of Hanover. I hope you will too,” Brat said.

The election will be held from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3.

2015 ELECTION GUIDE

Voter registrar, staff ready for Nov. 3

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

H

ANOVER – As Teresa “Teri” Smith, general registrar and director of elections for Hanover County, prepares for the Nov. 3 General Election, she expects about a 40 percent voter turnout since the ballot includes constitutional officers and the board of supervisors.

“Hanover County is historically in the top three of voter turnout for any type of election, so we know we’re going to be busy,” she said. “We’re preparing for the election by training all of the officers of elections. We couldn’t do it without the officers of elections and those are citizens of Hanover County.”

Next week, Smithson said they “need about 196 officers of election to pull this election off. And we are always in search of new officers of election to serve. The average age for an election officer is 72.”

“What people don’t realize is that we call it volunteering with a tip because they are paid positions as an officer of election,” she said. “We have volunteer officers of election – they basically waive pay. That has only been in existence for a couple of years.” That option became available due to a law passed by the Virginia General Assembly.

Smithson described Hanover County as being “historically very active politically and they really care about their community and that’s why we see folks spending those long hours in the polling place.

I think sometimes folks forget those are their neighbors in there. We are very blessed here in Hanover County to have very good people.

“One of the big things that you’re going to see with this election is write-ins. Local elections will generate a large number of write-ins – anywhere from none of the above to Mickey Mouse,” she said.

She emphasized that every vote does count.

“Voters don’t realize that their vote counts, but I can assure you that every single vote is counted because when you have to have a recount and only a handful of votes separates a winner from a loser each and every vote does count; it does make a difference.”

Smithson does ask that those who write-in to write legibly. She said she does appreciate the writein votes. “People can win with a write-in, but write legibly because we need to actually document each and every write-in.”

“As an example,” she continued, “four years ago during the local elections, there were over 3,000 write-ins. That’s a lot of write-ins.”

4B

Due to what Smithson called “the break out of the Senate and House districts,” Hanover County has 12 different ballots.

The Farrington precinct has moved from the Jessica Beath Clinic “because we found that we had some issues with of allergies with animals.”

Smithson said Farrington precinct has moved “to the beautiful Abner Baptist Church on Abner

ticular offices, so it’s important that voters look and determine who is on their ballot.”

She said voters have come into her office to vote absentee questioning district lines. “You get crosscontamination,” Smithson added.

Local elections can be confusing, such as the 12th District Senate seat being vacated by Walter Stosch.

There are three candidates running: Deborah M.

The Voter Registrar’s Office includes, from left, Sharon Griffin, assistant general registrar III; Teresa “Teri” Smithson, general registrar/director of elections; and Sheilah Frattini, deputy general registrar. Frances Dailey, part-time assistant general registrar; Diane Ware, volunteer; and Kevin Damian, voting equipment custodian; also are members of the staff.

Church Road” in the South Anna District.

Smithson said that all registered voters at the Farrington precinct was sent a new voter registration card. If any voters at the precinct have not received a new card, they need to call the Voter Registrar’s Office at 804-365-6080.

The voter registrar cautions voters to look at their voter registration cards to determine what their Senate and their House district is as well as their magisterial district. She cited the Elmont precinct as an example. “Elmont Elementary [School] is in the South Anna District, but they’re in the 9th Senate [District], which is [Donald] McEachin and they’re in the 55th [District], which is [Hyland F. “Buddy”] Fowler.

They have one ballot all by themselves because they’re the only polling place that has those par-

Repp, Democrat; Siobhan S. Dunnavant, Republican; and Robert “Scott” Johnson, Independent.

Every year Smithson said she goes to “each and every polling place to make sure that it’s ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant and that the sidewalks aren’t cracked where it would create an issue for someone entering the polling place.”

Looking ahead, Smithson said, “2016 is not so far away. We’re already preparing for the presidential March 1 primary and we’re anticipating it to be a dual primary, then on June 14 is the other primary for all the other offices and then the Nov. 8 presidential election and May 3 is the Ashland Town Council election. So, in 12 months, we’re going to have five elections and that doesn’t count if we have

A Special Supplement to The Mechanicsville Local & The Hanover Local October 28, 2015

a recount or a special election.”

She explained that a dual primary may be necessary because “there are so many Republicans that are throwing their hat in the ring for the presidential run and we know that Hillary [Clinton] has somebody running against her for the Democratic [primary]. When you have the two parties that can’t represent them in November, they come together for a primary. So when a voter comes into a polling place they have to decide Republican or Democratic.

It confuses folks sometimes. One vote/one person -that’s the confusion.

“Plus, you’re basically holding two elections at the same time and you need twice as many officers of elections. It’s pretty intense. Absentee has to note, including military, has to say which side of the fence you want to be on.”

Smithson is quick to praise the dedicated efforts of the officers of elections. “I challenge anybody to do what they officers of elections do and have to deal with the ever-changing laws that the General Assembly gives us every year related to elections. You’ve got to have a sense of humor and you’ve got to have a passion for this. This is the cornerstone of our world in the United States is the ability to vote. Without the citizens of Hanover and them stepping up as officers . . . they deserve a lot of credit – absolutely.”

“When we went through the bailout process just before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Section 5 of the Voters Rights Act is a little wonky and they threw it out and told Congress to fix it, we were the last locality in the United States to receive a bailout from the judge,” she said. “So I had to do research for 10 years prior and 10 years ago.”

As for the number of registered voters, Smithson said there were 38,475 in 2002 in Hanover County and 72,378 this year.

Her staff, however, is small. Smithson has an assistant registrar and a deputy registrar. “Three people and it’s never increased. It wasn’t until this fiscal year that we were given a part-time assistant. We do it with a lot of volunteers. If it wasn’t for our officers of elections coming in and volunteering, especially during a presidential year, there’s no way we could do it.”

Smithson has been in the office for five years. “It was actually five years in September, so I completed my first four-year term and was reappointed to another four-year term by the Electoral Board and that started July 1.”

Will I be voting on paper or an electronic touch screen voting machine?

Voters in Hanover County are given a paper ballot on which to cast their votes. Each office to be voted on will be listed on the front of an 8½x1inch paper ballot. Each of the five voting districts will have individualized ballots. Voters will need to completely fill in the oval beside the candidate(s) name being voted for. Do not place a check mark or an “x” on any oval. Voters are not required to vote in every race if they do not want to. If you make a mistake, find the nearest poll worker and ask for a new ballot. Once you ballot is placed in the optical scanner machine, the vote is officially cast and cannot be repealed.

What forms of identification are acceptable for voting?

Voters are required to present an acceptable form of photo ID when they check in at the polls. If you do not have one, the registrar can make one for you free of charge in the registrar’s office.

Acceptable forms of photo ID include: Valid Virginia Driver’s License or Identification Card Valid Virginia DMV-issued Veteran’s ID card Valid United States Passport Valid employee photo identification card Other government-issued photo identification cards Valid college or university student photo identification card (must be from an institution of higher education located in Virginia) Employee identification card containing a photograph of the voter issued by an employer of the voter in the ordinary course of the employer’s business Virginia voter photo identification card obtained through any local registrar’s office How do I know if I’m registered to vote?

To check whether you are registered to vote or not, call the Hanover County registrar’s office at 804-365-6080 or visit http://hanovercounty.gov/ RG/2015_November_General__Sample_Ballott. pdf. The busiest time for voting is typically between the hours of 6 and 9 a.m. If you have to vote during this time, anticipate a potential wait in line and please be patient.

What do I do if I am not going to be in the county on Nov. 3?

Voters who will not be in Hanover County on Nov. 3 can vote via absentee ballot either by mail or in-person. To vote absentee, a registered voter must complete a Virginia Absentee Ballot Application; copies can be picked up from the registrar’s office or downloaded from the Virginia Department of Elections’ website. All absentee ballots must be received by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27.

What if I am a uniformed-service or overseas citizen and would still like to vote in my county?

Covered uniformed-service and overseas citizens who have not timely received a regular absentee ballot may use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) to register to vote, request an absentee ballot and vote using FWAB you download, complete and mail.

Your completed FWAB – signed by you and your witness – must be received no later than the close of polls on Election Day. If received later than this day and time, your FWAB ballot normally will not be counted. Federal write-in absentee ballots are available at www.fvap.gov.

A FWAB ballot or regular ballot can only be returned by mail addressed to the voting official for your city or county of voting absence. Virginia does not allow return of any voted ballot electronically, by email or fax.

Once you are finished voting your FWAB, the package you return must consist of: Your voted ballot A blank, sealed security envelope (which you supply) containing your voted ballot and nothing else The form titled “Voter’s Declaration/ Affirmation” which can be completed, signed and dated by you and a witness A return mailing envelope (which you supply) addressed to General Registrar, Attention Absentee Voting Officer, followed by your locality’s address. Please include your current mailing address in the return address area in the upper left hand corner.

How do I change my address, name or other voter registration information?

To remain a qualified, registered voter, the law requires voters to notify their local registration office of any chance in name or address. Requests must be postmarked at least 22 days before the next Primary or General Election in which you plan to vote. Voters will receive an updated Voter Card in the mail. If you do not receive this acknowledgement within 30 days after mailing the Virginia Voter Registration Application Form, contact the Hanover County registrar’s office or the Virginia Department of Elections. You may make a change of address, name or other information by: Sending a letter to your general registrar Completing an address change notification provided by the DMV Using the form on the back of your voter card Using the Virginia Voter Registration Application Form Using the online registration portal What if I don’t understand how to vote?

You are entitled to a demonstration of the voting equipment. There is a demonstration officer at each polling location that is there to help with the operation of the machines. Feel free to ask for assistance.

Can my child watch me vote?

Your minor child, 15 years or younger, may go with you into the voting booth.

Do I have to vote for every office on the ballot?

No, you do not have to vote for every office on the ballot. For example, if you would only like to vote for a candidate running for member of the board of supervisors, you do not have to vote for any of the candidates running for any other office.

Your vote for the candidate running for member of the board of supervisors will still be counted.

What do I do if I have a disability or mobility issue?

All election polling locations are required to provide accessibility for persons with disability or mobility concerns. This includes devices to make the voting machine accessible. Persons with disability or mobility issues may want to consider voting via an absentee ballot by mail or in-person

before Election Day in order to avoid having to stand in line.

If you have a disability and do not want to vote absentee, contact your registrar before Election Day to discuss your particular needs and what may need to be done to accommodate you.

Keep in mind that anyone who assists you in the voting process on Election Day must do so according to your instructions and without trying to influence your vote. Your assistant also is strictly prohibited from, in any way, telling others how you voted.

You may want to vote from your car. All polling locations are required to offer “curbside voting” to anyone who has a physical disability or is 65 years or older. Voters who participate in curbside voting may need to send someone inside the polling location to request curbside voting unless your precinct has a lookout or other mechanism in place to alert election officers inside. Voters also may want to call ahead of time and communicate their approximate arrival time to help ease the process.

You may request an “audio ballot.” Voters who request an audio ballot will be provided a set of headphones and a ballot will be read aloud to them. Audio ballots are available at all polling locations.

If you are blind, you may have anyone assist you with your ballot.

If you are not blind but need assistance with your ballot, you may have anyone assist you EXCEPT your employer or union representative.

What do I do if I make a mistake on my ballot?

If you have made a mistake on your ballot, you need to change your vote BEFORE your ballot is cast.

If you are using a paper ballot and have not placed your ballot in an official election container, ask an election official to void your spoiled ballot and for a new ballot. Change cannot be made to your ballot once it is cast, even if you have made a mistake.

Is my vote secure?

A voting machine can only record your vote, not your name or any identifying or personal information. No one can tell how you voted based on your submitted ballot. If an assistant helps you vote he or she is strictly prohibited from telling anyone how you voted.

All voting machines in Virginia are tested and certified for accuracy and security both before authorization for use in Virginia and prior to each election.

2015 ELECTION GUIDE

Prepare now for Election Day

E

lections decide the leadership that guides legislation and enforcement of regulations. The right to vote is something many people take for granted, but elsewhere in the world many people have no say with regard to their political leaders, which only emphasizes the importance of participating in the election process whenever you’re afforded the opportunity to do so.

The first step to prepare for Election Day is to confirm your eligibility. Age, legal residency and citizenship status are just a few of the factors that may affect your eligibility to vote. County clerks, municipal offices as well as the Division of Motor Vehicles should have voter registration forms, and additional information is available online. Canadians can register or check voter registration status at www.elections.ca.

Voter registration may have to be filed several weeks to a month in advance of Election Day in order for you to be eligible. In the United

States, when voter eligibility is in question at the time of an election, a person typically may cast a provisional vote, which will then be considered after other ballots are counted.

Once your eligibility has been verified, it is important to know the dates of key elections.

Local newspapers often print schedules and this information can be found online as well.

Various local and federal elections occur each year, and November is when national elections take place in the United States.

Before voting, voters should research the respective candidates for each election. To better understand candidates’ platforms, visit their websites as well as those of nonpartisan political organizations, such as The League of Women Voters. Deciding who to vote for requires more than just siding with a particular political party.

Read as much as you can on the candidates’ beliefs, concerns and voter history. This will help you make the best decision possible.

In the days leading up to Election Day, confirm your polling location and voting options.

USA.gov advises that if you need special assistance, contact your local elections office for information, advice, and educational materials about voting equipment and details on access to the polling place, including designated parking.

Understand that voter intimidation is illegal.

Never feel obligated to vote for one candidate because you felt bullied into doing so. Your vote should remain private unless you want to share your choice with others.

Keep in mind that, in addition to voting for candidates, you may asked to answer additional questions about issues impacting your local community. These are called ballot measures. A voter guide also may include information about certain issues that will require your vote.

Newspapers remain a valuable resource

N

ewspapers have been in circulation for centuries. Ancient Romans produced government announcements and posted them in prominent locations around the city. In ancient China, news sheets were circulated among court officials to share government news.

However, it wasn’t until use of the printing press became widespread that the new media of newsprint became available to the general public. The 17th century was the first time much of Europe and other areas around the world began to produce something similar to what we now know as newspapers.

Nowadays, many newspapers are still being printed on a daily or weekly basis, but publishers also understand the benefits of digital content. That is why newspapers are now supplementing their print copy with digital and interactive versions online. Should a person desire to read a printed version,

he or she can do so. Others can access content online, which is typically updated regularly as newsworthy items become available.

Newspapers have frequently been the first source people turn to for information on various subjects, including current events and sports. Even now, despite the prevalence of television news, people still look to the newspapers for indepth coverage of hot topics.

Additionally, some newspaper content is mirrored online or offered in some other complementary form. For example, fans of comics in the newspaper may not realize they’re a major source of syndication revenue.

In an effort to snag a bigger chunk of key demographics, comics not only are being run in the newspaper, but also are being adapted into “apps” that can be viewed on tablets, computers and smartphones to further their visibility.

Promise: To Demand fiscal responsibility • Hanover County has three AAA bond ratings (smallest County in America to do so) and is in its strongest equity position ever.

Promise: To fight for fair and equitable taxation • Maintained existing property tax rate and minimized selective proffer taxes, which the county could not use by law until excess school capacity has been eliminated.

Promise: To support local businesses and economic development

Canova Peterson, Jack Lanier, Chris Peace, and Paul Galanti

• Encouraged changes to incorporate a business and citizen friendly approach in all county departments.

• Unfroze 7 Law Enforcement positions, added 6 Law Enforcement positions, added 4 Court Service positions and added 14 Fire/EMS positions. Additional 14 Law Enforcement and 24 Fire/EMS positions are included in the current 5 year plan.

Promise: To support international quality education • Increased Hanover School budgets to point where we are currently spending the highest per pupil amount in the history of the school system.

• Instrumental in establishing the Joint Education Committee to allow stronger collaboration with School Board, School Administration, and Board of Supervisors.

• Hanover anticipates being the largest County in Virginia with 100% accreditation of schools.

“An outstanding public servant, Mr. Canova Peterson, is seeking re-election to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors on November 3, 2015.

I first met Canova four years ago, before either of us held public office. I immediately realized that he is a man of sound character, conservative values, and high principles.

Since then, we both been elected to positions where we can serve our fellow citizens.

I keep close tabs on what is going on in my district and have noticed that Canova has done something very unusual for someone in the world of politics. He has done exactly what he promised to do during his campaign!

He has also maintained the highest ethical standards when making decisions for our community. I wish I had more colleagues and friends like him in Washington, D.C. I fully support and endorse Canova Peterson to continue to serve the good people of Hanover. I hope you will too.”

— Congressman Dave Brat “Hanover County continues to lead the Commonwealth with safe communities, economically competitive business climate, and high quality schools. Over the past four years, Canova Peterson’s leadership and dedication to the community has continued Hanover County’s commitment to these core values that we expect and cherish.”

— Senator Ryan T. McDougle “Counties don’t earn a great reputation without great leadership. A significant part of the Board’s success is due to the steady and responsible contributions of Canova Peterson of the Mechanicsville District.

Based on his dedicated and effective service over the past four years and his businesslike approach to resolving county issues, I proudly endorse Canova’s re-election. I urge everyone who wants conservative leadership in Hanover to vote for Canova on November 3rd.”

— Delegate Chris Peace “The Hanover County Board of Supervisors is up for reelection this November 3. Once again an outstanding individual, Canova Peterson, has offered himself as a candidate for reelection to represent the Mechanicsville District. I believe he will serve in a manner in keeping with Hanover’s traditions of good government.

I commend Canova Peterson to the citizens of Mechanicsville and all of Hanover County and hope that the citizens will go to the polls on Nov. 3 to reelect him to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.”

— Frank D. Hargrove Sr., Retired Delegate

NEWSPAPERS

ing a dramatic shift in the business model and the products offered by newspapers, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, presenting new opportunities for newspapers to expand on their offerings in unique ways. Many papers now enable readers to express their comments about news stories online, which fosters a global discussion that can bring people from various parts of the world together.

Newspapers also are shifting the mix of stories they offer to provide a stronger balance of entertainment, lifestyle and other subjects that are more relevant to people’s daily lives than politics and international affairs may be. In turn, newspapers are attracting new readers both offline and online.

Few can argue about the validity of newspapers for current events. Students exploring current topics and presenting them in school are frequently urged to look to newspapers for content. Editors are largely apprised of up-and-coming trends and are given firstsee information before the general public, which they later share in their publications. Local newspapers truly offer the best window into what makes a community unique. When searching for local jobs, events or merchandise, newspapers and their respective Web sites remain a reliable resource for their readers.

Despite the ominous forecasts projecting the demise of newspapers, many publications are still going strong and proving just how valuable a resource they can be.
