STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN

Town unites, approves resolution in rail issue By Patrick Gordon News Editor ASHLAND — The crowd at Ashland Town Hall spilled out into the lobby and out the front door as more than 100 people attended the July 5 Ashland Town Council meeting to discuss the DC2RVA high-speed rail alternatives. Twenty people spoke during the public comment session, all in agreement that the current ideas being discussed by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation

were unacceptable. Before the meeting concluded, town council unanimously approved a resolution expressing the overwhelming opposition to the options offered by the DRPT. Newly-appointed Mayor James Foley spoke first on the topic, emphasizing that unified opposition of the potential proposal of a third rail through Ashland should be the top priority. He held up a large orange sign, which read “No see RAIL, pg.4

Sunshine, blue skies and a warm summer day welcomed about 27,000 people to Pole Green Park on Saturday for the 2016 Hanover Tomato Festival.

A little heat doesn’t keep folks away from the Tomato Festival By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

Patrick Gordon/The Local

Ashland Town Hall was filled last week when residents came out to voice their opinions about the proposed Washington, D.C., to Richmond high-speed rail.

ECHANICSVILLE — Celebrating the Hanover Tomato and supporting the work of the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department continued

Saturday with the 2016 Hanover Tomato Festival. In typical fashion, it was once again deemed a success. Marcy Durrer, recreation program director for Hanover County Parks and Recreation, said the festival “was a spectacular event!” Since 1978, the festival

has become a much-anticipated tradition. The 2016 edition brought out about 27,000 people to Pole Green Park. The largest turnout was in 2009, when 42,000 people filled the park. According to Durrer, see TOMATO, pg. 20

Habitat works with Adams family on Faith Build project MECHANICSVILLE — Hanover Habitat for Humanity’s Faith Build, affiliated with the Faith Relations Committee, will begin construction in August on its 61st home for the Adams family. Laura Oliveira of Hanover Habitat for Humanity said, “The committee is asking that the faith community rally together in support of this family to both help build and raise funds for their home! The goal is to raise $100,000, the average cost to build a Habitat home, and to utilize volunteers from local churches.” Opportunities include: Volunteering on the construction site/ Providing lunch to construction volunteers. Fundraising to help Habitat reach its goal. At 5:30 p.m. today (Wednesday, July 13), Habitat will be hosting an Informational Meeting to explain to congregations how they can get involved. The meeting will take place at the Hanover Habitat administrative offices at 9161 Atlee Rd., Suite B, Mechanicsville, VA 23116.

hood. Myra said she thinks that she was meant to drive past Bailey Woods that day because she learned about Habitat in a time of great need. She has overcome a lot in recent years, including learning to live with a severe illness and disability. Myra and her son have been living in rental housing with extremely high rent for years. In addition to their home being unaffordable, it does not meet Myra’s accessibility needs. As an active member of Atlee Community Church and the coordinator for the Atlee Outreach Ministry, Myra devotes time, as her health will allow, providing food, clothing and much more to the homeless and underprivileged in Hanover County.

Cody also supports the Atlee Outreach Ministry, primarily devoting his free time to serving hot meals to the homeless. Myra said she feels that God has called her to give back to the community however and whenever possible. In addition to her dedication to Hanover County’s faith community, she also is her children’s strongest supporter. She is currently putting her younger son through college. He is a successful, fulltime college student at Old Dominion University. By partnering with Hanover Habitat, Myra and her son will finally have an affordable and accessible place to call home.

no restrictions on CSX in that regard, they could hypothetically choose to double their volume almost overnight, Foley said. Council member Kathy Abbott, who was sworn in earlier in the meeting, read a statement before the citizen input period began. In her statement, she emphasized the need for a unified voice, but stressed that simple opposition to the current options wouldn’t be enough. She said the door should be open to other alternatives, an idea that the DRPT has rejected in the past. Abbott recounted a conversation she had with Ashland resident Phyllis Theroux, who reminded her that the government works for the people, so it wasn’t necessary to simply accept their process. “It won’t be easy,” Abbott said. “But I say we demand a fourth option. I reject the ‘Sophie’s Choice’ that we are being forced to make as a community because of DRPT’s rigid process. We want another alternative that won’t harm anyone who calls Ashland home.” Council member James Murray, who was appointed vice mayor earlier in the meeting, said the DC2RVA rail project was the most important issue that has faced the town in recent history. “It’s both terrible and fantastic that this room is as full as it is,” he said. “It is terrible

that everybody has to be here because it is such a divisive issue in our community, but it doesn’t have to be. And it’s fantastic that everyone is here because it means we all care so much about Ashland. I think it’s incredibly important that we come together with one voice to tell the DRPT that this is not acceptable and that we do have to find an alternative that won’t destroy our community.” As residents took the microphone, they voiced a unanimous opposition to the various alternatives that had been presented by the DRPT. The reasons for their opposition included concerns for personal property, the character of the town, economic issues, and the impact that it may have on the Ashland’s Historic District.

said that Ashland’s history is one of the things that makes the town special. She said the state should value that and recognize that Ashland is unique from the many other rail stations in Virginia. Other residents mentioned concern and support for Families Under the Rail, a group of Western Hanover residents who oppose new railroads such as the Western Bypass alternative. Among them was Michelle Tobin, who said that option would split her family’s farm. “Yes, we are a railroad town. Yes, we are a small college town,” Tobin said. “But we are also a town who enjoys a green belt of agriculture around who brings tourists and cyclists and that it is one of the elements that makes our community complete and unique. If you take one of those elements away, whether it’s the Randolph-Macon [College] campus, putting in a third rail and destroying the town that I grew up loving, it’s going to change us forever.” Tobin noted that Families Under the Rail supports the Town of Ashland and that

many of them grew up there, but said “there’s more to 23005 [the zip code] than just Main Street and the college.” Former vice mayor Rosanne Shalf, president of the Ashland Museum, singled out the potential impact on the Historical District, saying the DRPT needs to conduct a Section 106 impact study to determine how a third rail would affect it. She noted the town has more than 200 historic buildings, most located near the railroad tracks, and urged council members to include language in the resolution to request an impact study on the Historic District. Residents also expressed a desire to ensure that any proposals would not only meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards but also adhere to all local, state, and federal codes and statutes. Ashland resident Ian Sutton suggested that, based on current laws, the third rail option may not be legal. This could potentially eliminate it as a possibility, if that is found to be the case. After listening to the public comments, the council formed and unanimously passed an official resolution that will be communicated to the DRPT.

Making a change to help fellow vets

From the editor

Thank you to all who bring festival together It’s the second Saturday in July and — let’s play on a soon-to-be-released movie— “Where ya gonna be?” The Hanover Tomato Festival, of course. No matter what kind of weather Mother Nature may send our way, you can expect a crowd at Pole Green Park in Mechanicsville. As we all know, the Hanover Tomato Festival, which started in 1978 at the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department, is “the” event in Mechanicsville. Well, that and the Rotary/Ruritan Mechanicsville Christmas Parade. We come out in the heat and cold to celebrate the Hanover Tomato and the Christmas season. Our two major events exemplify true hometown spirit and the devotion we have to one another as neighbors. Saturday, July 9, was no different for those filling Pole Green Park for the 2016 festival. Late Sunday night, Marcy Durrer, recreation program director for Hanover County Parks and Recreation, reported an estimated 27,000 people attending. OK, it got a little warm — but that doesn’t stop the folks around here from coming out to enjoy and celebrate our Hanover Tomato. Events kicked off with the Papa John’s 4K and Uncookoff on Friday. Side note: My mother recently read Patricia Cornwell’s novel, “All That Remains,” which mentions the Hanover Tomato. All tomato lovers will agree — it is the best! And that’s why we celebrate it. Well, that and the support sales of the tomatoes bring to the Black Creek VFD. When the late Oscar Watson and other members of the BCVFD came up with the idea to start the festival, it was very small (and I do mean very small), with one food vendor. However, 300 people attended — and a festival started. We’ll all remember the festival of 2009 with Pole Green Park was overflowing with 42,000 people. Traffic was in every direction, but it was quite a day to remember. Thank you to the Hanover Tomato Festival Committee, Parks & Rec, the Sheriff ’s Office, Fire-EMS and the countless volunteers who make the day a success. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated. Melody Kinser

July 13, 2016

By Patrick Gordon News Editor This just might be the most awkward column I’ve ever had to write. It was just last month when I was introduced as the news editor for The Mechanicsville Local and The Hanover Local. Now it’s time to move on to another adventure. I’ve recently accepted an offer for a position with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The good news is that I’ll be able to work with veterans, tell their stories, and hopefully make a difference in the lives of some folks who have made great sacrifices for our nation.

The bad news is that I’ll no longer be reporting on the goings-on here in Hanover County. I’ll also be leaving my incredible co-workers here, who are phenomenal human beings and have welcomed me with open arms since I moved to Richmond a little more than a year ago. I’ve always believed that it’s not where you are, but who you’re with. That’s one of the things that made this a difficult decision. While I’m very optimistic about my future coworkers and supervisors, there’s no guarantee that they’ll be able to compare to the ones I’m leaving behind. The bar has been set extremely high. This moment is the embodiment

of the word “bittersweet.” As excited as I am about the new opportunities that are in store for me, I know that I will miss the people I’ve been privileged to work with here and the many people I’ve had the chance to meet along the way. For me, however, the decision wasn’t about whom I would be working with, but the people for whom I will be working. As a veteran of five years of active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps, I understand the value of our veterans and their medical care. While I’m not a doctor, there are other needs within see VETS, pg. 8

‘Citizens Concerned’ member clarifies Fire-EMS issues

County in wanting to make public safety a priority. Linda Moore Rockville

Thank you for covering the recent fire and EMS concerns in Hanover County (“Fire-EMS staffing issue addressed,” June 28, 2016). I am an active member of “Citizens Concerned about Fire-EMS in Hanover” and I need to make a few clarifications. First of all, our group is very active. It is more than a mere Facebook page. We are comprised of many career and volunteer firefighters many with over 25 years of volunteer service to Hanover County. We appreciate all of the work of the men and women who work as first responders and support personnel. Many of the members of the group continue to volunteer today. The volunteers, as much as the paid, or career, firefighters, are truly unsung heroes in our community. As every community changes, however, with age and with a stressed economy, we lose these valuable men and women, and we are rightfully concerned about maintaining a reasonable level of service. In just a few words, here is what we are asking for: a robust task force, comprised of both citizens and of county staff, to examine the needs of under-served residents, particularly those on the western edges and eastern edges of our rural county. We share the goals of all who care about Hanover

In other business: Kathy Abbott was sworn in as a member of Ashland Town Council at the beginning of their July 5 meeting. She replaces former council member Edward “Ned” Henson, who also had served as vice mayor. Additionally, incumbent council members Steven Trivett and Dr. George Spagna were sworn into office. Their current terms began July 1 and end on June 30, 2020. Council selected James Foley to serve as the new mayor. Foley replaces Spagna, who announced at the June 21 meeting that he would not seek another term as mayor. Councilman James Murray was selected to be the vice mayor. Ashland Police Chief Doug Goodman announced promotions of two of his officers to the rank of sergeant at the July 5 meeting. Grant Bonistalli and Stuart

McCollough were sworn in during a closed meeting earlier that evening. Chief Goodman also made a presentation to council about the possibility of reducing the speed limit on a portion of Thompson Street. Currently, the speed limit is 35 mph from Wesley Street to James Street, where it drops to 25 mph until U.S. 1. Based on citizen complaints about sight lines, speeding and concerns about bus stops and pick-ups, Goodman suggested the possibility of lengthening the stretch were the speed limit is reduced to 25, beginning where the road curves near its intersection with Henry Clay Road. Residents are invited to attend the Aug. 2 town council meeting to discuss this potential change. Due to events scheduled for National Night Out, that meeting will take place at 7:30 p.m. The next Ashland Town Council meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 19, at the Ashland Municipal Building at 101 Thompson St.

In the resolution, members expressed vehement opposition to any proposal involving a third rail through Ashland. Additionally, they opposed any proposals that negatively impact the nature of the town, including the Main Street area, the college campus, the Ashland Historic District, and residents along the current rail corridor. The resolution also included an imperative that the DRPT allow the greater Ashland community to provide input throughout the process, allowing residents and neighbors to determine the best answer to the issue of increased freight and passenger rail congestion, while not destroying the town. The town expressed specific concern about pedestrian safety, fences and barriers that would be erected in town, altering railroad crossings, impacts to the Historic District, adherence to the ADA, and proposals involving construction of a

the VA and I’m thrilled to say that I will be working to help meet those needs and do whatever it takes to make a difference with my fellow veterans who need it the most. When I was on active duty, my primary role was as a cryptologic linguist. I became fluent in the Korean language after

r Ou g ! n i r rat ea leb 9th Y e C 11

nearly two years of intense training. My secondary role was as a Marine Combat Instructor of Water Survival. That required an exhausting three-week course that is among the most physically demanding things the Marine Corps has to offer. After completing that course and becoming certified as an instructor, I was able to teach other Marines how to swim,

A 119 Year Tradition of Caring

how to survive in dangerous aquatic conditions, and help them attain their yearly certifications. This training could help them in the future. Not only were they learning valuable skills that might someday save their lives or the lives of others, many also were gaining confidence in the water. For those Marines who didn’t have the good fortune of growing up near the ocean or didn’t have access to other bodies of water, this confidence was a huge boost to their over-

all morale. In case they hadn’t learned during recruit training that anything is possible, having success in the pool was a great reminder of that. For me, the most rewarding aspect of that role was that I was able to help people in a way that was different than most, and I was able to use my skills to instill confidence in them that could potentially help them in all aspects of life. My hope is that I can use this new position to help veterans who need it most. I recent-

ly attended a film viewing and discussion panel in Henrico County. The film, Project 22, was a documentary about veterans who traveled the country talking to other veterans about suicide, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and other mental health issues that affect veterans in particular. It was an eye-opening film. Thousands of veterans suffer silently from PTSD and traumatic brain injuries. Many are too proud or too scared to seek help. Twenty-two veterans take their own lives each day in the

United States. Without question, that number is far too high. If I can help by telling a veteran’s story, spreading information, or directing someone to the right place to find help, that will make it all worth it. Above all else, that’s why I’m excited to accept this position. Lastly, I thank everyone for the warm welcome I’ve received. I’ve really enjoyed my time here and look forward to many more years as a member of this community.

LETTERS

When I retrieved it, I immediately placed it in the trash rather than reading it, as I did in the past. A drive down the highway that we live on is disgusting. The Mechanicsville Local is now adding to the litter along our highway. These papers and bags are even being tossed into the yards of obviously vacant homes. Several residences now have multiple copies of The Local littering the driveway or front yard. I would hope that a delivery person could see that if the previous week’s paper has not been picked up, adding additional copies would be unnecessary. Papers that have come out of their bags are being windblown and scattered along the highway. Accumulating papers are an invitation to burglaries for those families that are away on vacation. It is my understanding after talking to someone at The Local that it was a business decision. I completely understand trying to reduce overhead and saving money. When I commented that unsolicited material thrown out a car window was littering, I was told by the same person at The Local that since you have a business license you are

allowed to throw unsolicited papers onto private property. If the switch to save money must be made, it should be done in a responsible manner -- it obviously has not. Papers should be placed in the proper receptacles and if someone does not want the paper thrown onto their property they should be able to call and have it stopped immediately. My point is that I have always considered The Local to be a responsible business partner within our community. Business license or not, the manner in which The Local is now being delivered is contributing to our litter problem and is anything but responsible. Please re-evaluate this new practice and do the right thing by correcting the problems you have recently created in our community. What may appear to be cheaper on the surface can ultimately turn out to be more expensive for the longer term. I find your recent decisions sad as I once enjoyed reading The Local. For you and your advertisers, that now appears to be in the past unless you can somehow improve on the current method of delivery. For us, either place the paper in the paper box or do not leave it at all. I am sure I am not alone

with these feelings. Randy Agee Mechanicsville

Reader speaks out on delivery Recently The Mechanical Local ceased to deliver the paper by the United States Postal Service. For the past month, The Local has been haphazardly thrown out of a moving car window to land wherever it may in or near our residence. I called The Local two weeks ago and very nicely informed the lady I spoke with that I do not want the paper unless it can be properly placed in our newspaper box. Unfortunately, this request has been ignored. The paper is not being placed in the existing newspaper box and the motor carrier has continued to throw a publication I do not subscribe to onto my property. Today (Wednesday, July 6, 2016), the bag was in one place and the paper in another.

Rebutting comments I would like to comment on Richard Ryder’s recent letter that highly criticized my letter in The Mechanicsville Local on May 18, 2016. He resorts to liberal opinions and smoke screens by calling Christian conservatives like me hateful, racist and phony. I went back and counted the number of times that I said I hated someone in my letter and found absolutely no times did I say I hated someone nor did I make any racist comments. I do not use my Savior’s name as a political football to kick around to prove or shoreup any of my political points. As a true born-again Christian, I do not hate anyone as the Bible tells us not to do. Unlike the heathen religion of Islam, we are taught from God’s Word to love our enemies and to pray for them not to kill them and cut off their heads as the Quran of Islam teaches. The only “hate” we are told to practice is against sin and not the sinner. see LETTERS, pg.9

Continued from pg. 8

The Bible clearly states in Romans 12:9 . . . “hate what is evil.” We have the sin of abortion and the murder of millions of innocent babies. The main point of my May 18 letter was against the sick and perverted “go to any bathroom you like” policy that the liberals and Democrats are pushing. People 10 years ago would laugh at you if they thought you were serious about this ridiculous idea. Do I hate same-sex marriage people or lesbians or gay men? Of course not, but I do hate the practice of homosexuality and the phony samesex marriage charade both of which are sins against God’s Word. Unlike the evil Muslims who kill people they disagree with, Christians believe in praying for sinners like gays and abortionists. So, Mr. Ryder, I hope you get the idea what I’m talking about, and, if you don’t, you just don’t want to face the truth. With God’s strength upholding us we are not afraid to stand up for what is right and Godly and the most you can do is kill us, which will immediately put us in the arms of Jesus. Let’s pray that more and more brave people, with God’s help, will stand up against the Clintons, the Obamas and all the rest of the radical liberal Democrats and Republicans. Did you hear me? I didn’t say anything about hating these people. But we should stand up against their evil and hateful policies and debaucheries and in the end pray for their salvation and their ability to see the light! If you have read any of my letters in the past in this good paper you know that I am a

strong supporter of Ted Cruz and still am for the presidency in four or eight more years. As for this year, he would make a great vice presidential candidate or U.S. Supreme Court justice. But now we have only two candidates running for president this year and the choice is clear. We know where Hillary Clinton stands. There is no doubt she will continue the radical, leftist policies of Barack Obama. How about our radical, leftist, carpetbagger governor, Terry McAuliffe, who just released 206,000 felons en masse who many people say was overstepping his authority. Not only did he overstep his authority, but many of these felons were not eligible to be released, still serving time in jail as violent criminals certainly not having gained the right to vote and serve on juries. The choice is abundantly clear in November. Donald Trump was not my first choice

but he will be far, far better than Hillary Clinton. Do we really want four or eight more years of a female Barack Obama? Hillary Clinton is an evil person as was her predecessor. Please, precious voter, don’t let another anti-family, anti-Christian, pro-baby killing monster take over our once great country. You may not like Trump; he may not be your favorite; he certainly wasn’t mine, but he is the only person standing between Hillary and disaster coming for our country. Hold your nose if you must, take anxiety pills, do whatever you need to do but vote for Donald Trump! Mitt Romney, the Bushes and anyone else who will not vote for Trump should be ashamed of themselves. If you stay home and fail to vote, you share the blame for the destruction of our once great country! Raymond C. Germeroth Mechanicsville

“Town and Country,” with works by Nancy Bruce is underway at The Montpelier Center for Arts & Education.

MONTPELIER — Now through July 28, Nancy Bruce is presenting a solo exhibition, “Town and Country,” at The Montpelier Center for Arts & Education. According to Amanda Gardner,

July 13, 2016

administrative assistant at the Center, Bruce’s “passion for her work stems from her love of creating unique art “from things that otherwise would have been discarded.” Hailing from Tidewater, Bruce describes herself as a mixed media artist, working primarily with recycled materials.

Creating pieces with various papers that she has collected over time Bruce uses these, along with her own techniques, to create a multiplicity of different textures. From afar, her abstract works often appear to have a flat, muted look. Conversely, as one moves in for a closer inspection, rich textural surfaces are

subtly revealed. Gardner said Bruce uses this method in creating in many winning pieces. The exhibit is free and open to the public. Office hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appointment. The building is open see CENTER, pg. 17

Anthem LemonAid continues to help children fighting cancer Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND – Registration is open for LemonAid, which will be held Friday through Sunday, July 15-17. Every week, another child is diagnosed with cancer in Central Virginia. Last summer, Caroline Morris was one of them. Diagnosed in June 2015 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common type of childhood cancer, Caroline has been receiving treatment at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR) ever since. “It’s not my hair that makes my beauty,” said Caroline, who lost her hair as a chemotherapy side effect, “it’s my heart.” These are just a few of the inspiring words one might hear from 6-yearold Caroline, who has remained optimistic and cheerful during a difficult year. Now in the maintenance phase of her cancer treatment, Caroline only requires monthly visits to CHoR, which means she can spend more time

doing the things she loves most: playing outside, spending time with her two older siblings and filming episodes of “Caroline’s Kitchen,” her athome cooking show. Currently, Caroline is busy figuring out a special lemon recipe to feature on the show and at her Anthem LemonAid stand this July. Sponsored by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Anthem LemonAid is Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ signature summer event and has been helping kids with cancer since 2001. Now in its 15th year, the event is celebrating its milestone anniversary with a two-year, $250,000 commitment to the Infusion Center in CHoR’s Hematology and Oncology Clinic, where children with cancer receive the chemotherapy, blood transfusions, and immune system boosting infusions they need.

HANOVER — The time has come to start planning for the National Night Out 2016 in Hanover County. The date for National Night Out is Tuesday, Aug. 2. “National Night Out is an annual event designed to strengthen our communities by encouraging neighborhoods to engage in stronger relationships with each other and with their local law enforcement partners,” Sgt. James R. Cooper of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office said. “The goal is to heighten crime-prevention awareness, build support and participation in local anticrime programs, and most importantly, send a message that our neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. It’s also the perfect opportunity to get to know your neighbors even better,” he added.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Trout in the Classroomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Submitted photo

Pole Green Elementary School Gifted and Talented students recently joined forces with Oak Knoll Middle School students to release more than 50 trout in the cold waters of Mill Creek in Stuarts Draft. After driving almost two hours, several students, parents and Pole Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GT teacher Lori Schoenwiesner climatized and released the trout into their new ecosystem. This was all part of a year-long project called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trout in the Classroom,â&#x20AC;? that the students were privileged to participate. The process began with 150 eggs. Students took care of the trout from start to finish. They monitored water temperatures, cleaned the tank, checked chemical levels, and fed the trout once they hatched. All Pole Green students were able to see the entire life cycle and were able to learn how trout contribute to our environment. Most importantly, the students learned about protecting and preserving the water. The release of the trout was described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonderful partnership between Pole Green Elementary and Oak Knoll Middle Schoolâ&#x20AC;? Trout in the Classroom projects are supported by the Department of Inland Games and Fisheries.

Red Cross urges blood Lots of activities available donations to keep supply this month at local libraries Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood in the weeks surrounding Independence Day to help ensure a sufficient blood supply for patients now and throughout the summer. Blood donations often decline in the summer months, especially around summer holidays when donors are less available to give. The need for blood doesn’t decrease though – every two seconds, someone in the U.S. requires blood or platelets. In fact, a recent survey of Red Cross blood and platelet donors showed that nearly half knew someone who needed blood or they needed blood themselves. Donors of all blood types are needed now. Schedule an appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). In Mechanicsville, a blood drive will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, July 14 at the Veterans of Foreign Wars at 7168 Flag Lane.

How to donate blood Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site.

Hawk grad learns to survive in pro baseball By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Survival often comes down to the ability to adapt. For Jacob Mayers, adaptation has become an important part of his continued existence in the world of professional baseball. “It’s been an interesting journey,” he said. Following a standout career as a pitcher at both Hanover High School and the University of Richmond, Mayers was selected as a third baseman in the 19th round of the 2013 MLB Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Mayers was sent to the Missoula Osprey where he played 58 games during his rookie season in the Pioneer League. He finished the season with a .302 batting average, including 16 doubles, two triples and three home runs. In 2014, Mayers returned to the Osprey but also spent time with the Diamondback’s short season Northwest League affiliate the Class A Hillsboro Hops. Mayers logged only 11 games with Missoula and notched a .385 batting average. In 32 games with the Hops, his average dropped to .296. Then on October 22, Mayers got the news every professional athlete dreads. He was told he had been released.

Kaimeng Yang/Syracuse Chiefs

Hanover High School and University of Richmond graduate Jake Mayers is finding ways to pursue a life in professional baseball as a bullpen catcher and coach for the Washington Nationals AAA affiliate Syracuse Chiefs.

“I didn’t have an agent at the time, kind of wish I did,” he said. “That was tough. That was like a reality check for me because that was a chance for me never to play again.” Though he had offers to play independent baseball, Mayers knew such a route often came to a dead end. So, instead of taking the easy route, Mayers focused on one question. “How

am I going to get back to affiliated ball?” He said he went through the entire list of contacts he had created during his college and professional career searching for answers. He found salvation in Mechanicsville’s Jeff Zona. Mayers had known Zona, a scout for the Washington Nationals since playing alongside his son, Jeffrey Zona, at

Hanover. “I had a good connection there so I called him up and ‘Hey, I just got released. Is there any chance you’ve got an opening for me, maybe come play for you guys?’,” Mayers said. Zona told him the only open position with the team was as a bullpen catcher. Mayers leapt at the opportunity, but knew he needed to

overcome one obstacle firstHe’d never caught before in his life. “People always said I’d be a good catcher with my pitching knowledge and things like that,” Mayers said. Once again, he turned to close local connection to set him on the right path: his younger brother Eric. Eric worked behind the

plate for Jacob throughout high school and went on to become a catcher at VMI. “He’s caught all his life so I would ask him, especially when I started, I was like, ‘What have you got man? Help me out here?’,” Mayers said. “So he could give me some tidbits on receiving and blocking and things like that.” Mayers spent time with Washington’s Low Class affiliate, Hagerstown Suns, but played in only six games. Then at the beginning of this season, he got the opportunity to move up to the AAA level with the Syracuse Chiefs. With the Chiefs, Mayers adapted and not only worked as the bullpen catcher but threw batting practice and pretty much helped in any role the team needed. “It’s going pretty well,” Mayers said. “I really like it and you can’t help like it being AAA and still being in baseball.” Mayers’ role continued to evolve and he continued to adapt as he learned he may never make it back onto the field. “For catching we didn’t have anything open,” Mayers said. “They weren’t going to promise me any playing time or anything like that.” However, when former player/coach Sean McCauley

Atlee wins Little League Majors softball title By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor HENRICO – Atlee Little League’s Majors softball team is the champions. Atlee, led by pitchers Julia Mardigian and Kelly Ayer, dominated the competition in sweeping all comers to claim the District 5 Majors softball title at Tuckahoe Little League. Atlee’s victories included a pair of wins over local rival Mechanicsville, including a 10-0 win over Mechanicsville in the championship game Thursday. Atlee advances to the Virginia Little League Majors tournament, which begins Friday at Olive Branch Little League in Portsmouth. “All the girls have been working hard. They all do their job. They know they’ve got a job to do. They all take ownership of it,” said Atlee manager Scott Currie. He also said their hitting was key. “When we hit the ball well, it makes things easy,” Currie said. Atlee began and ended the tournament with wins over Mechanicsville. Their first game began on July 1, but was suspended because of lightning and completed the next day. Atlee next defeated Tuckahoe’s All-Stars Tuesday and got a break while Mechanicsville had to win two more games – one

likewise completed over two nights because of weather – to advance to the final. “They had some time off, some time to relax, stay out of the heat,” Currie said of his team. Mardigian pitched both games against Mechanicsville, handily keeping its hitters in check.

“They’re just a good team – well rounded,” said Mechanicsville manager Steve Harmon. “They’re coached well. Scott Currie does a great job with them. And they know how to win, and that means a lot with younger kids. They know how to take it to them and keep going after it. They know how to keep fighting to

keep winning.” Harmon had a lot of good to say for his team, too. “Our kids played well. Our pitchers did great,” Harmon said. “We hit the ball well against Tuckahoe and against Huguenot. We just couldn’t get around on Julia Mardigian.” Currie said Mardigian has earned her success.

“She’s been working very hard this whole spring to get where she’s at,” Currie said. “She’s put a lot of effort into it and she’s reaping the benefits of her hard work.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

MAYERS

“I gave it a shot and the Nats liked me, but they saw better things for me so they’ve got me going into kind of a coaching role now,” he said. “Hopefully it pans out at the end of the season. Nothing is legit yet but hopefully it works out.” Not only would the job keep Mayers in AAA baseball but being in Syracuse would allow him to stay close to his wife and

home in New York City. “It’s an awesome set up,” he said. “I really thought about where I could be close to home, too, and this role was really nice about that.” While the transition in positions came quickly, coaching has always been in the back of Mayers’ mind. “The coaching thing, my wife, my father and my mother,

they’ve always said I’d probably be a good coach just because I retain information well and I just get along with everybody,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to coach at some point … literally teaching the game I played my entire life, so it’s just easy. It’s all about making connections with the guys.” Likewise, Mayers sees his current situation as education-

Knizner’s pro career gets start in Johnson City By Jordan Bondurant Danville Register & Bee JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – It’s been a whirlwind past few weeks for Andrew Knizner. The 2013 Hanover High School alumnus was selected in the seventh round of the 2016 Major League Baseball draft by the St. Louis Cardinals out of N.C. State, and Knizner decided to forgo his senior season with the Wolfpack and sign a professional contract. As he got his deal resolved, he ended up missing the organization’s abbreviated rookie training sessions at St. Louis’ spring training complex in Jupiter, Fla., and reported directly to the Cardinals’ rookie affiliate in Johnson City, Tenn. “It’s been great,” Knizner said before one of the Cardinals’ games last week against the Danville Braves. “I got drafted by a great organization, so I lucked out joining up with the Cardinals. The coaches are great, and there’s a great program being run in Johnson

City. I’m learning a lot and hoping to progress and see what the future holds.” But the All-America third baseman-turned-catcher has hit the ground running since arriving in the northeastern Tennessee town almost three weeks ago. Going into Monday night’s game, Knizner had played in all but three of Johnson City’s 17 games in the 2016 Appalachian League season, and he’s become one of the team’s top batters, with a .283 batting average, a .413 slugging percentage and a .400 on-base percentage. “When the college season ended, I kind of started getting hot and kept that going the first few games here,” he said of his consistency at the plate. “Like what (Johnson City hitting coach Roberto Espinoza) says, just keep it simple. See the ball and hit the ball. I’ve just been trying to get good pitches to hit and put some quality swings on the ball. So that’s been my main focus here.” A freshman season at N.C.

Jordan to Marlins

State in 2014, which led to AllAmerica honors at third base, easily should have made the case that Knizner was almost destined to be picked up by a major league franchise at some point. His performance that season also helped him earn a rare invitation to participate in the Cape Cod League in Massachusetts that summer. The wood bat league, which is often known to be almost exclusive to the nation’s top collegiate junior and senior players, attracts numerous professional scouts throughout the summer. Knizner made a return trip to Cape Cod last summer before returning to Raleigh for his junior year. He said that experience was one of many factors that helped prepare him for a nearly seamless transition into the ranks of professional baseball. “I’m kind of biased, but I think the ACC is the best league Matt Bell/Register & Bee in college baseball, so I’ve been Former Hanover High School and North Carolina State University standout Andrew Kizner is starting his professional baseball career as catcger for the Johnson City Cardinals. see KNIZNER, pg. 38

Burkwood, Rockville winners in GRAL meets By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The weather Wednesday delayed swimming – in some cases to another night – but it couldn’t stave off victories by Burkwood and Rockville in Greater Richmond Aquatic League action this past week. Burkwood was hosting fellow Division 1 team AshCreek and Rockville was visiting fellow Division 4 team Battlefield Green when thunderstorms swept through Mechanicsville and forced suspensions in the action. The storm knocked out power to the Battlefield Green neighborhood, so its meet with Rockville had to be finished Thursday. Burkwood was able to resume action, however, and – while cancelling the mixed freestyle relays normally scheduled at the end of GRAL meets – managed to get its meet completed in one evening. Burkwood defeated AshCreek 1,438.5 to 880.5, but the Crocodiles could boast of a milestone: Olivia Fisher set a GRAL record in the 50-meter breaststroke with a finish in 35 seconds. The previous record of 35.8 was set by Rebecca Rainer in 2009. “We had over 75 percent get

time drops. We’ve got 54 going to Champs, so that’s good,” said Burkwood coach Karen Seeber. Eight more Burkwood swimmers qualified for Champs in the Wednesday meet. With two weeks left in the GRAL regular season, the focus is wholly on Champs. “We’ve got more kids going to Champs, get more Champs cuts in more events,” Seeber said. “We’ve got two more weeks to make everything kind of happen. They have to swim those events [they can qualify in] if they haven’t already.” Burkwood had a host of triple winners: Jay Blaser, Marshall Brooks, Sam Castle, Dylan Croxton, Natalie Culley, Emily Czaja, Lina Dawson, Caroline Early, Colin Eliason, Nathaniel Eliason, Jaelyn Jones, Matthew

“I might be coaching him next spring training so that might be interesting,” Mayers said. As he sees his playing days slipping into the rear view mirror, Mayers knows coaching is a natural progression to his career. “I can be in this for a long time too that’s the good thing,” he said. “I want to be in baseball.” Charlie Leffler can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

KNIZNER

State has been a welcome challenge for Knizner. He’s competing with three other catchers on the Johnson City roster. But he’s also played first base and has been well-utilized as the Cardinals’ designated hitter. He knows he has far to go in his journey to St. Louis. At this point, it’s all about improving and keeping his bat hot. “I just want to play well and fine-tune some parts of my game, especially defensively being a converted catcher,” he said. “I need time behind the

plate, and to get reps at this level is good. Being able to work with the pitching staff and call some games is really instrumental to my success in the future.” But as he looks to the future, Knizner couldn’t help but reflect on his time spent with Hanover coach Charlie Dragum and his staff. That time included winning a state championship. Being a Hawk laid the foundation for what Knizner hopes will be a long and successful professional baseball career. “They taught me a lot,

but that’s something that’s really stuck with me,” he said. “Focusing on the process of becoming a better player and not really worrying about the end result. Having a good work ethic and putting in the work, and really fine-tuning your skill, the results will come. They do a great job with the skills you need to play baseball and also the mental part of the game as well.” Jordan Bondurant can be reached at jbondurant@registerbee.com.

fortunate to get to play at N.C. State,” he said. “But playing the Cape Cod League is prestigious, and the competition is very good. There’s good pitching, and getting to handle wood bats there has really helped me make the transition from metal to wood.” And while his natural position is third base, playing catcher the past two seasons at N.C.

Mechanicsville started out well against visiting Lakeside, poised to win late in nine innings, but Lakeside tied the game with three runs in the top of the ninth, then scored five runs in the top of the 16th to go ahead.

CANCER • Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, overcome any lingering doubt by examining your thought process on past successes. Trust your gut instincts, and you probably will not go wrong this week.

LIBRA • Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may need to be more efficient with daily tasks. Dillydallying won’t get the job done, so make a concerted effort to improve your focus and avoid distraction.

CAPRICORN • Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you do not have the time to cater to every person’s whim this week. Let others know you want to help but need some time before you can offer any assistance.

TAURUS • Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, bide your time until you find the right moment to express your true feelings. You don’t want to come across as premature, and patience can help you fine-tune your thoughts.

LEO • Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, speak up if demands on your time have become unmanageable. Your loved ones will understand if you need to slow things down and take a breather.

SCORPIO • Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, now is not the time to worry about what others think. Your willingness to choose the road less traveled has helped you get where you are and will continue to do so in the future.

AQUARIUS • Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take a few days off, even if responsibilities are calling. Sometimes you need to reorganize your priorities, and some time off can help you do just that.

GEMINI • May 22/Jun 21 It seems like you cannot move beyond the preparation stage of a new project, Gemini. Make an effort to narrow down your choices so things can start moving forward.

VIRGO • Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, evaluate all of your choices when a significant project is entrusted to you. There’s a reason you have been given this responsibility, so don’t be too hasty.

SAGITTARIUS • Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, maintain your focus no matter how challenging that proves this week. You have some tasks to complete, and they will only grow more difficult if you lack focus.

PISCES • Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, the week ahead is full of opportunity. Expect some extra work to come your way and make the most of this chance to shine.
