Some friends of the victims and survivors of the crash met at sunrise Monday at the site.

MECHANICSVILLE – The deaths of two young men and injuries to three others and one female have shaken the community and Lee-Davis High School.

Dylan James Ballard, 17, and Elliott Hinton, 22, both of Mechanicsville, were passengers in a 2001 four-door Dodge Ram pickup truck that struck a tree Saturday night in the 6000 block of Cold Harbor Road.

They were pronounced dead at the scene, with the survivors, including the driver, being transported to VCU Health Systems for treatment of injuries, which were described as serious.

Sgt. James R. Cooper of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office said on Sunday that the preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle was Photo courtesy of Kari Sirles traveling east when it left the The bleachers at the stadium of Lee-Davis High School were filled Sunday evening when roadway before hitting the see CRASH, pg. 15

School counselor tackles female bullying perspective

By Natalie Miller for The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE — Cliques, power struggles, isolation — children experience school drama around while learning their times tables.

Females are perceived as being more likely to gossip and cause drama than their

male classmates. What is it that makes girls and young women more emotionally invested in these social altercations?

Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

bullying among female students to be a recurring issue.

“It was the same stories over and over again,” she said.

Abasolo has attended conferences about aggression and researched female bullying for four years to tackle students’ conflicts at school.

According to her research, young students regularly display social and relational aggression at school. As children develop their sense of self in social settings, power distribution inevitably results in hurt feelings. Social groups, and sometimes cliques, form and a dominant child takes position as the leader.

These common social configurations are natural and demonstrated at work, in families and friend groups.

Problems arise when interactions are purposely hurtful.

Male students undoubt-

edly experience bullying and mistreatment by perceived friends, but female students are the ones repeatedly visiting school counselors for cliquelike behavior and exclusion.

Abasolo’s research reveals that this may have to do with how females form bonds with one another.

Females tend to produce more of the “love hormone,” oxytocin, than males do. This can incite females to crave social bonds with peers more so than males do. Oxytocin may be one contributor to female students’ perceived higher emotional investment in their social connections compared to their male peers.

A region of the brain called the amygdala regulates several emotional processes, such as anxiety and emotional memory. Research suggests that females retain emotional

memory more vividly than males. This could explain why school-aged females may have strong emotional reactions to an altercation with a friend, even months after the event occurred. A friendship between two school-aged females may be civil one day, and hostile the next when one is reminded of a previous argument.

A desire for connection and strong emotional responses to perceived hostility can clearly cause drama and bullying amongst females. Males bullying is often perceived to be more physical and noticeable than female bullying — males may fight or call each other names. Female bullying, however, is often less perceivable.

School-aged females adopt roles within social groups, ranging from the leader to the “outsiders.” Abasolo referenced

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

How can we help a victim who feels guilty?

As she opened up about what happened to her when she was in elementary school, I became nauseous; I felt like I had been kicked in the gut. How did I not know or suspect that she had been the victim of sexual abuse as a child?

And, like many victims, she locked it away in the recesses of her mind because she felt guilty. Gathering all the strength I could — and relieved it was not a FaceTime conversation — I assured her she was a victim, an innocent victim.

I’ve known her all my life — and yet didn’t have a clue as to what she had experienced all those years ago. We spent a considerable amount of time together, but she chose to, as the old saying goes, bottle up her feelings.

Overall, she’s had a pretty successful life, especially professionally. The “bomb” that was dropped a few weeks ago explained why she had difficulty with relationships, despite having been married multiple times.

But behind the facade of “all’s well,” with a nice home and financial security, something dark continued to linger and gradually gnaw at her. She’s become reclusive, communicating mostly through social media.

One can only hope that the openness of that phone call was therapeutic in some way, but the recommendation to seek counsel with a minister, psychologist or psychiatrist was my chorus as she calmed down after finally being freed of those invisible chains that bound her for so many years.

Even in writing this, that sick feeling returns. Did she know her attacker? Of course. Sadly, as is too often the case, she was taken advantage of by an older relative. As a believer, I know he will answer for his sins one day.

Can she ever regain her sense of security after all these years? That’s not a question I can answer.

When she took the step to reveal those years of abuse, it was a huge start, and one which I hope leads to healing.

With tear-filled eyes, this has probably been one of the hardest columns I have ever written. It is heart-breaking to learn someone close to you has been used in such a horrific manner.

She needs prayers for comfort to erase this nightmare that has reared its ugly head after decades. No, she isn’t guilty — but she is hurting.

The right place at the right time

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist As we pack our lunch and head out the door for another day, there’s no telling what’s waiting for you outside the safe confines of your home.

The mystery of each and every day is what makes life interesting … and sometimes terrifying.

Running is a family affair for Goochland’s Gordon family, and they make every effort to enjoy events together so a recent 10K race was just another event on a busy family schedule.

Preston and Bethany Gordon were joined by her father Bill and other family members for the event.

Near the turn of the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10K, the unex-

pected happened, and Bill went into cardiac arrest and collapsed.

Another morning began in a similar fashion for Matt Howell, a firefighter and EMT who works in Hanover County.

He prepared for his first 10K with athletic anticipation, keeping a close eye on his one-hour goal set for the race.

It all changed for Howell as he passed mile marker 3 and noticed Hughes on the ground while Bethany performed CPR on her Dad. Howell’s natural instincts took over and he immediately jumped into action, administered a defibrillation exercise, and directed others on what to do to save Hughes’ life.

Thanks to the quick efforts of Howell, the dedicated persistence of

a loving daughter, a number of volunteers and the support and love of a family who is dedicated to him, Hughes began breathing and was transported to a local hospital.

The Gordons rushed to the hospital and Howell finished the race, just missing his goal by a couple of minutes.

After completing the race, Howell’s thoughts immediately turned to Hughes and his family.

He wrote on his Facebook page: “I now sit this evening and hope that he is doing better with his family. I knew that the many people that stopped and helped made a difference in this man’s life and I only had a small part in it. So tonight I’ll have a drink and see PLACE, pg. 8

Why did McAuliffe veto Planned Parenthood bill?

Could it possibly be because in 2013 when he was running for governor he received a campaign contribution from the political wing of Planned Parenthood for almost $2 million?

Now, ask yourself: Where did this money come from?

Well, first the money was collected as taxes, then the Commonwealth of Virginia gives it to Planned Parenthood.

Then, to show their gratitude, they, in turn, donate to politicians who are friendly to their cause. This is known as greasing the wheel.

All of this money we are talking about came directly from the Virginia taxpayers — whether they want to donate or not.

At the present time, there are only six states in the United States that allow an unlimited amount of money to be donated to a state campaign. They are: Alabama, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah and Virginia.

Just one more piece of information: Our federal government gives $500 million in taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood each year.

In return, they give tens of millions of dollars to Democratic candidates running for office.

Enough is enough! Please call our state delegate. Get Virginia off the list of six.

Rezoning deferred due to sale Rogers-Chenault Inc.’s plans for property derailed by purchase

By Meredith Rigsby News Editor ASHLAND – Ashland Town Council voted to defer action on rezoning application REZ15-10313, filed by RogersChenault Inc., to rezone 52.5 acres of land located at the southeast corner of the intersection of U.S. 54 and Chapman Street and bracketed to the north and east

by Chapman Street to its May 10 meeting because the property has been sold.

The rezoning application was set to be presented by Nora Amos, director of planning and community development, during the public hearing portion of the

town council’s April 19 meeting, at which time she informed council that, as of Monday, April 18, planning commission staff had learned that the property had been sold.

AMOS Planning commission staff had been working with R-CI on the rezoning application for the Ashland Neighborhood (formerly Green Acres) for well over a year and had planned to rec-

ommend that town council deny approval of the application.

The applicant previously requested town council defer action on the rezoning application to its April 19 meeting.

“We [planning commission staff] expect that there will probably a withdrawal of that application,” Amos said.

“We [planning commission staff] would ask that that you defer action until May 10 because the transaction is so recent.”

The deferral would provide the new owner time to decide what they would like to do with the property.

Circles Ashland fighting to end poverty in Ashland

By Meredith Rigsby News Editor ASHLAND — Dave Cooper provided Ashland Town Council with an update Tuesday, April 19, about the organization, Circles Ashland, which strives to provide a “relationship-based, communitydriven solution to poverty.”

Circles Ashland’s purpose is to enable families in the community so they can thrive by providing training and skillbuilding tools that will allow them to develop a sustainable plan to get out of, and stay out of poverty, Cooper said.

The organization is focusing its efforts on the families and individuals living in the area’s motels that are living in poverty and will be affected by the motel ordinance change expected to go into effect July 1.

‘Loving Critter Camp’ to be held in July Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND — In July, Hanover Humane will once again offer its “Loving Critter Camp” for animal-loving children (rising second through fifth graders) during summer vacation.

Hanover Humane has dedicated this educational program for children in honor of Diana Lynn Loving, one of Hanover Humane’s patrons.

Through eyes of the children enrolled in “Loving Critter Camp,” Loving’s respect, love, and appreciation for animals will live on.

Captain Hook and Peter Pan talk about upcoming musical (Editor’s note: The following article was written by the Student Publicity Team at Liberty Middle School, under the guidance of sixth grade Language Arts teacher Forrest Gregory.)

ASHLAND — Do you like faith, trust, and pixie dust? On April 29 and 30, come see your favorite childhood characters hit the high notes on stage at Liberty Middle School’s first musical, “Peter Pan!” Fifty-six students and seven teachers have worked hard for three months practicing, painting, and writing,

to make this musical a reality for you.

For your pleasure we interviewed Captain Hook (8th grader Elena Hicks) and Peter Pan (6th grader Autumn Just), who have the inside hook on the musical.

Peter Pan: Interviewer: What do you think of Captain Hook?

“I think the new owner really wants to sit down with them [the planning commission] and get their thoughts and ideas about what would be best for the property,” Amos said.

At some point it is expected that the new property owner will submit a new rezoning application that will go forward to the planning commission for review and examination, Amos said.

As of April 19, R-CI had not formally withdrawn its application.

In other business, town council voted to approve ORD2016-02, which requested a change to the Town Code in connection with tax relief for

Circles Ashland is made up of a 15-member board and is part of a larger, national organization that can be found in 70 to 80 communities and has about a 60 percent success rate, Cooper said.

The organization is currently licensed with the State Corporation Commission of Virginia and also has applied for nonprofit certification through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

the elderly and disabled.

The ordinance sought to “rescind the town’s current ordinance on tax relief for the elderly and disabled and implement a code that exactly mirrors that of Hanover County,” Bill Farrar, finance director, said.

The county has agreed to completely take over the administration of the program, enabling citizens to apply for relief through the county and automatically have that relief applied to the town’s taxes as well.

The benefit to the town as a result of adopting the county’s version of the code is that the county has updated its code over the years and the town has not since June 2, 1998.

The updated county code

increases income limits, making them significantly higher than they were under the town’s current code.

This will allow more people to apply for relief and lead to an additional number of citizens in town receiving relief.

Another benefit is that the county’s code utilizes a tiered system for the tax relief program, rather than all or nothing, which is the system that the town’s code uses.

In other business, town council approved SUB16-0326, applied for by John Jacoby, requesting final plat approval for a lot line vacation to combine two lots to create one 0.84 acre lot.

We show that we know it is much easier to do things the courteous and professional way rather than in a negative approach.

We want to thank those who express in a civil manner concerns or make suggestions that will strengthen our county and help our most precious gift, our children.

When it comes to our public servants, I have always found them more than willing to listen, hear and address my concerns or consider my suggestions.

The great strength of Hanover County is its partnership umbrella. Each department working with others in meeting the needs of our citizens and going the “extra mile.”

That does not mean that there is not work still to be done but.

I can assure you, the commitment to meet those needs is always there.

Now there are those few that seem to revel in expounding their venomous tirades and let’s be thankful that there are just a very few.

Let’s hope when we take time to express our concerns that the objective is to strengthen rather than to destroy or bring embarrassment.

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Wylie, 436834, is a 10-monthold male domestic short-haired feline. He has had his first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative.

Wylie is a very sweet cat who came to the shelter two weeks ago. He has a wonderful personality. He can be playful but also calm. Wylie also seems to be litter bow trained. He would do well both indoors and outdoors.

Penny, 431800, is a 5-year-old female pitbull. She has been spayed and has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Penny has been in the shelter for over two months. She is a good dog who has lots of playful energy. She loves to run around and play. She does well with other dogs but sometimes can be a little overpowering in a playful way. She also does well on a leash. 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.

Members of Mechanicsville Girl Scout Troop 543 received their Silver Awards Monday, April 18, for outstanding community service work. Each girl spent a minimum of 20 hours on community service work. Service work ranged from having a book drive and donating all books to a nonprofit school in Richmond, as well as car washes and hours working at local churches in the area. All money raised was used to obtain hygiene and food items for the homeless. Each girl learned valuable lessons in giving to others who are less fortunate.

“I think a lot of it is learning lifelong good habits, it’s really about being healthy.

They’re so many studies that show that when you go outdoors and connect with nature it becomes habitual, it becomes a good habit that stays with you the rest of your life,” Andrea DeKoter, Ph.D., chief of interpretation for Richmond National Battlefield Park and the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site, said. “We want these kids to

connect both with the history and culture of the area but also to discover that being outdoors is a lot of fun.”

According to studies, being outside begins to have a lasting impact on children when they are in fourth grade, DeKoter said, which is why fourth grade students are being targeted for the initiative.

By introducing fourth graders to national parks and public lands that are located close to where they live, the program hopes to create a call to action for the next

generation of park-goers and heighten the awareness of our nation’s national parks.

“What we’re hoping to do is create this cultural awareness that kids can go outdoors, enjoy the benefits of healthy living, and get a great education too,” DeKoter said. …

“A lot of studies have shown that millennials are maybe not as aware of national parks as preceding generations and they’re a lot more plugged in, they are very technologically savvy, and so we’re trying to make them aware that you can

get outside and enjoy nature and, again, be plugged in in a different way that feeds your soul.”

The Richmond National Park Service is one of 186 organizations to receive transportation funding from the government to aid in getting students to and from various park locations.

Thus far, about 1,000 students have been given the opportunity to visit and learn about Richmond’s national parks and historic sites and receive free passes to other

national parks across the nation.

Established in 1916, this year also marks the Parks Service’s Centennial year, providing park rangers and educators to offer layered program that celebrates the Park Service’s anniversary and educates children and their families about the history behind some of the nation’s historic lands.

‘Read to Rover’ program popular

By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News ROCKVILLE — A new program at the Cochrane Rockville Branch Library is offering children a fun — and furry — new way to improve their reading skills.

Read to Rover, which was held for the first time on March 24, gives beginning readers an opportunity to read to a visiting dog — in this case Louisa resident Kim Darling’s specially trained golden retriever Ceci. Children spend time interacting with the dog, learn a few ground rules, and then take turns reading the book of their choice aloud.

The program is open to all young readers, and is intended to both help with reading and increase self-esteem among participants.

Part of the appeal, said Rockville Library manager Whitney Berriman, is that the dog provides a non-judgmental “audience” for children who may be struggling to improve their reading skills.

Darling, who works as a veterinary technician at Veterinary Referral and Critical Care in Manakin, said children who might otherwise be hesitant to read aloud seem to forget their fear when they interact with Ceci.

“The kids are really just amazing with it,”

Darling said. “It’s because there is no pressure from a dog to be a good reader — as long as you rub the dog’s head, she’ll stay there all day and listen.”

A number of programs similar to Read to Rover are held in and around Central Virginia, including Paws to Read at the Atlee Brach Library in Mechanicsville.

The programs are often wildly popular with children, Darling said, even those who may not be totally comfortable around dogs.

Darling remembers CECI one young girl who hid behind her book at first, tentatively reaching out to touch Ceci’s head. The more she read, however, the more she relaxed, and — by the end of the afternoon — she was no longer afraid.

The first time the Read to Rover program was offered in Rockville there were only two participants, said Whitney Berriman, but an upcoming session scheduled for Thursday, April 28, is nearly full. see READ, pg. 40

Edwards bumps Busch in scramble for win

By Billy Fellin Richmond Suburban News HENRICO – After 400 laps of racing at Richmond International Raceway in the Toyota Owners 400 on Sunday, it came down to two Toyota drivers to decide the finish.

Carl Edwards drove hard down into Turn 4 and caught Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch, gave him a bump in the quarter panel, pushing Busch up out of the way and drove the final turn to take home the checkered flag for the second consecutive week.

“At this point in the season, we both have wins,” Edwards said. “You can’t just sit there. If the roles were reversed, I would have expected him to bump me the same way. It was just hard racing.”

The win was the second for Edwards at Richmond International Raceway. Never in the history of the track in its three-quarter mile configuration has there been a pass in the final lap for a win.

Busch had led since a late restart on lap 364 and pulled away from the field.

Edwards was second on that restart and struggled to reel in Busch throughout the run.

He had put it into the corner hard going after his teammate a few laps prior to bumping Busch, but couldn’t make it stick.

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Carl Edwards and his crew celebrate in Victory Lane following his bump-and-run on the last lap to edge Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch in the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway Sunday.

“About 20 [laps] to go, I was doing literally everything I could,” Edwards said. “I could not catch Kyle. I could not get there.”

He finally was able to close the distance in the final lap.

The Mechanicsville Local

April 27, 2016

“It looked like maybe his tires went away,” Edwards said of Busch. “Going down the back straight, I thought he’d spun his tires – they were hot.”

It wasn’t until the final corner, though, when Edwards was

able to get past his teammate.

“I turned really hard, and Kyle’s tires went away,” he said.

“I committed and I knew I was going to run the bottom.

[Busch] really squared up the car and he knew I was going to

bump him. I had to try something.”

This daytime race, the first such scheduled since 1997, set a few track records. There were 23 lead changes overall, which was the most at RIR since 2007.

There were 18 green flag passes for the lead, which was the most since 2010. Also, there were 2,083 green flag passes, the most since 2013.

“That was something that was strange. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was changing,” Edwards said of all the lead changes. “Other people would come and go. Seemed like there were a bunch of people at points that were really fast.

At the end fortunately we were pretty good.”

Edwards was pretty good early, too. He led a race-high seven times for 151 laps, first taking the lead from Kevin Harvick on lap 40.

Jimmie Johnson had a strong car early on, and passed Edwards for the lead on lap 63, and the two battled for three laps before Edwards was able to re-establish his early lead.

Kyle Busch grabbed the lead in lapped traffic on lap 158, before Edwards went to the point once against on lap 167.

Busch and Edwards traded the lead back and forth in the mid-race, prior to Harvick taking the lead once again on lap 230.

Harvick led 41 laps before Brad Keselowski stayed out on a caution for debris and the two traded the lead on the restart.

Junior dominates for ToyotaCare 250 victory

By Patrick Gordon Richmond Suburban News HENRICO – Dale Earnhardt Jr. slipped past a developing accident triggered by leader Justin Allgaier on lap 134 to regain the lead and win the 29th annual ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond International Raceway Saturday.

It was Earnhardt’s fourth victory in six XFINITY Series races in Richmond, and his 24th overall XFINITY win.

The race was caution-free for the most part, until the first caution flag flew on lap 123 when Erik Jones ran into Mike Harmon on the backstretch. A messy pit stop during the caution cost Earnhardt the lead, putting Allgaier ahead until the final wreck that collected a number of cars and ended the day for Allgaier and Jones.

Earnhardt said winning gives him a boost.

“It does a little bit of something to your ego,” he said. “Ego and confidence is a bit of the same thing when you’re out there trying to get things done on the racetrack. Every time you kind of come close or you go a weekend without getting a win, it’s a bruise to your ego a little bit, maybe a little piece of your confidence chipped away.

“Any time you can get back into victory lane, even if it’s in a truck or an XFINITY (race), it makes you feel like, ‘I know what I’m doing. Keep calm, things are working well, we just

need to stay the course. We’re going to make it happen.’ ” Earnhardt led 128 of the 149 total laps. After taking over the lead from Jones, who had won the pole in his preliminary heat, he led more than 100 consecutive laps before losing the lead to Allgaier on lap 123.

Allgaier was able to take the lead from Earnhardt because of a messy pit attempt

by Earnhardt during the caution triggered Jones bumped Harmon coming out of turn 2 and sent Harmon into the inner wall. When coming in to pit, Earnhardt nearly hit Jones,

who was coming out of an adjacent stall. Earnhardt then had a slow exit, and Allgaier – who had been in second – took the lead.

On the restart, Earnhardt, who had been on the second row behind Brennan Poole, dropped to the inside to slip

around Poole and Allgaier in turn 1. As Earnhardt made his move, Allgaier, who had been on the outside, slipped in and he and Poole made contact.

The chain reaction collected a number of cars, but Earnhardt slipped away unscathed.

Allgaier was one of four

had a bad pit stop, dropping him to fifth on what would the final restart.

Instead, Kyle Busch won the race off pit road.

“The pit top there at the end, my guys ripped off an awesome one there – got us the lead when it mattered most,” Kyle Busch said. “So that was real impor-

tant for us and gave us a good opportunity to lead that final segment for as long as we did.”

Johnson finished third, Kasey Kahne was fourth and Harvick finished fifth.

Chesterfield native Denny Hamlin finished sixth and Matt Kenseth was seventh as all four Joe Gibbs Racing cars finished

in the top 10.

Joey Logano finished eighth, Martin Truex Jr. was ninth and Kurt Busch rounded out the top-10.

Tony Stewart finished 19th in his return to Sprint Cup competition after a back injury sidelined him for the first eight races this year.

The bump-and-run Edwards executed against Busch was the talk of the post-race. Busch was asked about it twice in his post-race media availability and avoided the question both times.

“It is such a tough thing,” Edwards said. “It was such a great day overall. It’s fun to have

drivers involved in the Dash 4 Cash, a race within the race featuring the top two XFINITY Series regulars from each preliminary heat. Allgaier finished second to Ty Dillon in the second heat, while Jones and Poole were the two qualifiers from the first heat.

Dillon, who finished second to Earnhardt, won the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash prize by beating the other three. Poole finished 10th and was the highest finishing rookie, while Jones and Allgaier ended up finishing 34th and 35th, respectively.

There will be two more Dash 4 Cash races this season.

Jones won the first one, which was last weekend in Bristol. If Jones or Dillon win a second one, they’ll qualify for the new XFINITY Series Chase field.

Dillon seemed a little surprised at his success.

“You’re sure we’re at Richmond, right?” he said.

“Yhis place has been tough on me and our team as a whole. To run the way we did all day was impressive for us.”

Although Dillon beat his three Dash 4 Cash opponents, his first priority was winning the whole race.

“It’s all about the W,” he said.

“I wasn’t really worried about anything but trying to win.”

Dillon said he’ll put the Dash 4 Cash prize money towards a house.

Ragan, sweetFrog raise funds for Boys & Girls Club

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver David Ragan and sweetFrog are giving a boost to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Richmond’s East End location.

Ragan appeared at the Atlee sweetFrog Friday night to meet & greet fans and raise money for the East End Boys & Girls Club, which serves youth in the Church Hill area as well as adjacent areas of Henrico County From the time Ragan arrived at the sweetFrog, he stayed busy chatting with and signing autographs for fans ranging in age from pre-schoolers to grandparents.

Ragan said it was a plus to be able to do some good while having fun at the same time.

“It’s important for me per-

sonally and the values that I have,” Ragan said. “I’m very fortunate to be able to drive a race car for a career. I have a lot of fun and get to be able to travel the country for my job, so I like to be able to give back every chance that I get.”

Ragan said sweetFrog selected the Boys & Girls Club as the beneficiary for the night’s activities.

“They identified the Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club as being a good community service provider here in the Richmond area,” Ragan said. “It was all about the community and giving back to them.”

Ragan also drove the sweetFrog Toyota in the Toyota Owners 400 Sunday. He finished 23rd.

Matt Pochily, director of marketing and communications of the Salvation Army of Central Virginia, said Ragan’s

appearance will help the East End Boys & Girls Club fulfill its mission.

“It gives us an opportunity to raise some much-needed funds to provide ministry and uplifting and empowering programs to youth,” Pochily said.

“It also gives us exposure to a new audience – to some other folks who might be supporters of David’s in this case. It gives us a chance to meet and greet with them and share a little bit about what our work is.”

Pochily said the Boys and Girls Club offers a number of programs to the area’s youth; character-building and career skills classes, afterschool programs and teaching and tutoring programs.

“It really touches on the individual youth, ages 5 to 18, at a really holistic level when the Salvation Army and Boys and Girls Club comes together,”

L-D’s Scott, Atlee’s Wilson sweep throws at meet

By Dylan Garner Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – LeeDavis thrower Connor Scott was looking for an opportunity to break out of an early-season slump in the discus and shot put. What better place to do it than on his home track?

Scott doubled up with victories in the shot put and discus at the Lee-Davis Invitational track and field meet Saturday. His two top finishes were among many celebrated by local athletes at the large and long-lasting meet.

Scott, a junior, began his day with the shot put at 9 a.m. With fields of athletes in his events and others that climbed up to 160 participants, it wasn’t until 6 p.m. when he was warming up for the discus.

“I was a little tired, so it made me a little bit nervous, but I think being able to relax helped out with the discus, getting a good throw,” he said.

He broke 50 feet for the first time in the shot put, winning the event with a throw of 50 feet, 3 inches. He battled with Bethel’s Brandon Slade in the preliminaries. Slade held a tiny advantage entering the finals.

On Scott’s second throw of the finals, he spun and sailed the weight 167 feet, 4 inches, taking over the lead and sealing

ily races in the Sprint Cup Series, chose to drive in the ToyotaCare 250 because of his confidence and success at RIR. “I don’t run the XFINITY Series but a couple times a year, so the opportunities to win are few and far between,” Earnhardt noted. “I knew we had great cars at Richmond and

ners of the meet was Prince George’s Malik Gurley. The senior sprinted to victory in the 100-meter dash (11.03 seconds), then followed up by winning the 400-meter relay with his group of Royals.

Gurley, a senior and the running back for the Royals’ football team, won the 5A state championship in the 100-meter dash last spring.

While he celebrated with his team after the relay win, he was focused on ways that he and the others could improve, whether it’s his own speed or how smooth a handoff went.

But when he compared his journey to the title last year, he likes where he’s headed.

“Last year, I started with 11.2 (seconds) and went on down, so this year is probably even better,” Gurley said. “We Joe Mahoney/Times-Dispatch have a meet May 13, so I have Henrico’s Chauncy Chewning (left) and Lee-Davis’ Brandon Brooks compete in the 110-meter to work the next two weeks hurdles during the Lee-Davis Invitational track meet at Lee-Davis High School Saturday. and get better.

Solid hitting powers Raider win over Patriots

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Errors proved costly Thursday night when Atlee’s baseball team traveled to Patrick Henry for contest between the county and Conference 16 rivals.

The Patriots made four errors while Atlee was flawless in a 10-6 Raiders victory. But the Patriots also proved they had some fight as they scored two runs in each of the last two innings to close what had been an 8-2 gap.

The game was a slugfest, with the teams combining for 23 hits, 13 of which belonged to Atlee.

“Except for one game this year, we have really put the ball in play a lot. We’ve hit it hard,” said Atlee head coach Ken Schrad. “We tell the guys that as long as we put in in play, whether it’s a base hit or puts pressure on the defense, good things are going to happen.”

They certainly happened for Raiders left fielder Cole Blackman, who accounted for

right.”

Gootee had three hits for the Raiders (11-4) and finished with two runs total. Atlee center fielder Andrew Foster – who robbed Patrick Henry (5-6) of some potential hits – went 2for-5 with two runs.

Patrick Henry center fielder Kendall Stanley led the Patriots, going 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBIs. The Patriots’ starting pitcher William Strong and shortstop Hunter Hart went 2-for-4.

Patrick Henry head coach Sam Hart said the Patriots’ four errors laid the foundation for defeat.

“That’s what cost us the ball game,” Hart said. “They’re a good-hitting ball club, and any time you give any good ball club – or a mediocre ball club – extra outs, you’re asking for trouble.”

Atlee wins pitchers’ duel at PH

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – An injury set up a pitching duel between a seasoned veteran – a state champion – and a relative newcomer.

The newcomer gave nearly as good as she got, but in the end, the veteran – Atlee pitcher Peyton St. George – earned the win, a 2-0 squeaker at host Patrick Henry Thursday.

“Our pitching staff is always solid,” said Atlee head coach Tom McIntyre. “Tonight Peyton had the circle and it was her game. … She did a nice job of

getting it done.”

The Patriots’ primary pitcher, Charlotte Mitchell, was out because of an injury from the previous week, so Sarah Prunty – who has only come in for relief, got the start. She gave up just four hits on the evening.

“I thought our pitcher pitched well,” said Patrick Henry head coach Walter Pettus. “Out plan was to pitch [Prunty] for three innings, bring somebody else in for three innings and have somebody else come in for the last inning, but she was pitching so well we decided to let her keep on going and ride it out.”

The Mechanicsville Local

April 27, 2016

St. George gave up just two hits. She got offensive help from catcher Raine Wilson, who went 2-for-3 and knocked in both of Atlee runs – one on a solo home run in the fourth inning.

Both pitchers had solid defense behind them – neither team recorded an error.

Patrick Henry center fielder Autumn Slemaker had what was maybe the most spectacular play of the game, laying out to catch what should have been an extra-base hit late in the game. Shortstop Grayson Radcliffe had her share of highsee DUEL, pg. 47

Secretary of Education: ‘Politics do matter’

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — Virginia Secretary of Education Anne Holton had a clear message for a group of Democrats gathered in Hanover last week.

have a unique vantage point to see how much it matters at both the state and local level.”

She noted the contributions of her boss, Gov. Terry McAuliffe, and his intervention in vital issues facing

She pointed to bills that “undermined” Virginia’s teachers, attacked Planned Parenthood, and took aim at the state’s LBGT community.

Holton, the wife of U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, was keynote speaker at Thursday evening’s Blue Moon Bash, an annual Hanover Democratic Committee fundraiser held at the Hanover Arts and Activities Center.

The former Commonwealth’s First Lady outlined a list of legislative successes, including more than $1 billion of additional funding for education passed in this year’s session.

governor should provide the impetus to finish the job.

“I am confident we will be able to move healthcare for all Virginians forward,” she said.

Holton praised the Ashland committee for longstanding dedication and hard work in supporting Democratic candidates and noted their work made a difference.

“Politics matter at every possible level. You all know that,” Holton said. “We need to come together and elect not only Hillary Clinton but up and down the ticket.”

Hanover County Democratic Committee chair Toni Radler said this year’s event surpassed expectations and exceeded last year’s fundraising figure.

“This is a great reception

tonight and we couldn’t have asked for a better crowd,” Radler said. “It’s sold out.”

It’s the seventh year for the event, and Sen. Donald McEachin, D-9, has been there almost from the beginning. He emceed last week’s event, and took advantage of the assignment to drum up support for his upcoming 4th District U.S. Representatives race and rally support for upcoming contests.

“It’s a good sign that Faye Prichard is among us tonight,” McEachin said. “In Faye, you have shown the ability to take a seat from red to blue.”

Prichard was elected in November as the Ashland representative to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

Matthew Rowe, a GPS analyst who lives in Bowling Green

and serves on its town council, also spoke to the group. He is the presumed Democratic candidate for an upcoming 1st District match-up with incumbent Dave Brat.

He pointed to issues like paid maternity leave as common sense measures he will pursue in his campaign.

“The days of Dave Brat are over,” Rowe told the group of about 200 loyal party supporters. “Can you think of a better time for a Democrat than 2016?” he asked, referring to the enormous challenge of winning in a traditional stronghold of Republican politics.

“I’m looking at party that is fired up and united this year.”

Democrats will officially name their candidates on May 21.
