CVFD ceremony remembers Deputies arrest ‘a day that changed America’ husband in death By Melody Kinser Managing Editor
By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — Fifteen years later, memories of September 11, 2001, remain fresh in the minds of most that experienced the nation’s worst terrorist attack in history. Hundreds of Hanover County residents gathered at the Station 10 Firehouse to recall and memorialize those tragic events at a ceremony sponsored by the Chickahominy Volunteer Fire Department. For younger members of the audience, the event was informative and designed to ensure Americans never forget that tragic day, and the men and women who paid the ultimate price on that crisp fall morning. For firefighters, police and EMS workers, it was a chance to remember colleagues and comrades who selflessly offered their lives in an effort to save others. More than 400 first responders reported to the World Trade Center that fateful morning and never returned. Their memories were the focus of many of the speak-

Honor Flight welcomes veterans to take part in 16th trip to see memorials Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — Honor Flight Historic Triangle of Virginia (HFHTVA) is looking to fill two charter buses with World War II and Korean War veterans for its 16th trip to Washington, D.C. The next trip is scheduled for Oct. 15. This trip is designed to get as many veterans as possible to see the memorials that have been erected in their honor. Honor Flight is a nonprofit organization that conducts bi-annual charter bus trips to our national memorials in Washington, D.C. The memorial for World War II veterans was dedicated 60 years after WWII. Many of
those veterans have not seen the memorial, and HFHTVA’s mission is to take as many WWII veterans as possible to see their memorial. So far, the organization has taken over 1,000 veterans in Virginia on the trips. Korean War veterans also are welcome. Veterans do not have to be a combat veteran or in the military during war time to participate. A new change is any veteran that was in the service anywhere from Dec. 7, 1941, to Jan. 31, 1955, is invited. This now covers veterans that were in the military in the gap between WWII and the Korean War. Veterans interested in participating must submit an application. see VETERANS, pg. 5

Celebrating the American worker
Editorial
In less than two hours, our world was changed forever By Laura McFarland Richmond Suburban News America is good at remembering – until it isn’t. This weekend marked the 15th anniversary of one of the darkest days in recent American history: Sept. 11, 2001. It’s hard to believe it has been that long. Like most people alive at the time, I remember where I was that Tuesday morning – getting ready for the school day ahead in my college dorm room while my roommate took a shower. I turned on my television – something I rarely did in the morning – and was met with the sight of plumes of smoke billowing out the Twin Towers – the North Tower where American Airlines Flight 11 hit and the South Tower where United Airlines Flight 175 struck some 17 minutes later. Like many Americans at the time probably felt, my mind didn’t fully process what I was seeing at first as I stood there. The full impact of what was happening didn’t hit me then. To be honest, that day is such a blur of horror that pinpointing the moment I realized the United States was irrevocably

changed seems trivial. We all remember what came after: American Airlines Flight 77 crashing into the Pentagon; the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsing; United Airlines Flight 93 crashing into rural Pennsylvania; and the collapse of the North Tower. In just an hour and 42 minutes, our world was forever changed. And then the questions so many of us had: Did the United States just go to war? Are we under attack? Will there be more? This historic and tragic day was on many minds this weekend, especially the friends and families of the men, women and children who died that day. With the amount of events I cover, sometimes what stays with me after the stories are finished and the photos published are not whole events but little tidbits. One such moment occurred during a presentation that the Freedom Flag Foundation recently made to the Powhatan County School Board, asking for its continued support. The remark was made that no student being educated in K-12 see CHANGED, pg. 15

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist It’s easy to lose sight of just how important American labor is to our very way of life, and how workers across the country rise daily and make our system work. It all begins with a buzzing alarm clock and millions heading off to perform the services and provide the goods that make life comfortable and enjoyable for a nation that is abundantly blessed. Listening to the current political campaign, I hear bleak predictions for the men and women who com-
prise our American workforce. The number of jobs lost and the numerous companies who have taken their business overseas is offered as evidence of a declining economic environment, and predicts a gloomy forecast for a nation. It’s certainly a fact that the number of manufacturing jobs has declined steadily for more than a decade, and the reasons for that reduction are numerous and complicated. Simply, put, the nation’s economy changes as conditions dictate. The changes are uncomfortable for some and life changing for others,
but the decline of some elements of the economic cycle are not new or unique to our system. And American labor has always answered the call, and adjusted to the differing demands, providing a willing and qualified pool of workers to fill the needs of a changing economy. Across the south, many who once worked in numerous textile factories now are employed by car manufacturers. When I graduated high school, many of my classmates began careers with companies that lasted a lifesee WORKER, pg. 8

Editorial stirs reader to express her opinion I am writing this in response to Melody Kinser’s editorial, “We’re approaching a very scary election,” published in the Aug. 24 Hanover Local. I’ll have to say the one thing we agree on is: We ARE approaching a very scary election!” First, because managing editors like yourself print biased, exaggerated editorials slanted toward your personal views and put it on the page entitled “The Local Views.” I was born and raised in Hanover County and lived there for 55 years and what you wrote is definitely not my view. So, since you, obviously, understand that ALL Americans have the right to freedom of speech, I expect to see this print in the next Hanover Local and thank you in advance. Yes, I believe you are right to be scared about the upcoming election. But, unlike you, my fear is that we are going to repeat what we have experienced for the last eight years. And, in my opinion, Hillary Clinton represents that. If having previous experience was the criteria for being president, then how did our current president get elected? At least Donald Trump has business experience and is savvy enough to appoint qualified people to advise him. I am sure with his track record, if they don’t do a good job, he will fire them! Yes, Tim Kaine is Hillary’s for vice president, but he won’t be making the decisions. And, you say, no skeletons in his closet. Really?!
It was comforting to hear that you knew the names of Ted Cruz, Newt Gingrich, Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio. These names, as well as Hillary Clinton, are all part of “the establishment” . . . and just maybe some of the American people are fed up with “the establishment” looking out for their personal interests instead of the welfare of the American people. I do favor a wall to keep ILLEGAL Mexicans out of our country or anyone else who is ILLEGAL. You conveniently forgot to insert the word “ILLEGAL” in your article! Donald Trump has never said he was against “legal immigrants.” And, why on earth would be welcome “ILLEGALS?!” I am tired of people like yourself intimating that Republicans are selfish, self-serving and just don’t care see LETTERS, pg. 8

Scotchtown Chapter of DAR joins in celebrating Constitution Week (Editor’s note: Bonnie D. Andersen, Constitution Week chairman of the Scotchtown Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, invites the community to join in celebrating Constitution Week, which is celebrated Sept. 17-23 by American citizens. This is the 229th anniversary of the signing of the document. Andersen said this week should “emphasize the responsibilities of learning about, protecting, defending, and preserving the Constitution, and studying the historical events that occurred during September 1787. The following message was received from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.) Creating the Constitution When was the last time you successfully changed anyone’s mind about anything? Or even gotten a small group of people to agree what movie to see? Now try to imagine this: Fifty-five men getting together in Philadelphia one muggy summer in 1787, trying to create
a nation. Now imagine that most of them are lawyers. Well, that’s what it was like. And it would take 3½ months of quarreling and compromise. But somehow those men managed to hammer out the framework for our nation’s Constitution. Pretty soon there were some basic questions in the room about the very things they fought so hard for: freedom and power. It wasn’t so long ago that colonists had won their freedom from the king of England. So no one was in a hurry to hand over too much power to any government, even their own. And wouldn’t a stronger central government mean weaker individual states? Ultimately, those 55 delegates came up with a brilliant compromise: a balance between federal power and state’s rights that still hangs delicately today. And as for how the government should actually be set up, they settled on the remarkable idea of dividing it into three
branches: the executive, judiciary, and the legislative. When it was all over, these men forged a document that defined a country complete with built-in checks and balances designed to keep everyone honest. But the document wasn’t perfect. For all its promise of freedom and justice, it included compromises, like slavery, that would take years, even bloodshed, to resolve. Some critics felt it also overlooked some crucial fundamental rights. The first 10 amendments, called the Bill of Rights, took care of that. However imperfect the document, it begins with three perfect words, “We the People.” For over 200 years, lawyers, judges, politicians, protesters and ordinary citizens have been examining the “We” in “We the People.” Pulling at it, trying to get it to expand or contract, and, in doing so, shaping the character of our nation.

about others because they don’t believe in “enabling” through a government that says, “I’ll take care of you.” Realistically, the government has no means to take care of anyone except through taxing the working American people. And their mismanagement of the Social Security program is a prime example of how they take care of the American people. Social Security was promised to older Americans to assist them in retirement years. It was not a “tax” but everyone who worked paid in . . . there was no option. So, now the government is
saying that Social Security will run out of money soon. Really . . . do you think it might be that the government borrowed money from Social Security to pay for other things? And younger people are told you must pay in, but don’t rely on Social Security because it may not be there when you retire. How is that fair? I feel the answer is to “empower” people rather than “enable” them. “Fish for a person and they will eat for a day.” “Teach them to fish and they will eat for a lifetime!” I If only 50 percent of Americans work, there is no way to sustain our current system . . . much less bringing in a lot of “ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS” who are
not contributing. When we “empower,” we create responsible Americans who have a feeling of self-worth and accountability. When we “enable,” we are not ONLY doing our American citizens an injustice, it’s an injustice for legal immigrants as well! And to bring religion into this . . . shame on you! For the record, I am not a bornagain Christian. However, I am definitely a Christian . . . my religion took the first time. Thank you in advance for printing another view. I feel certain there are others who read your paper and feel the same way I do, so please be fair and give us a voice. Carolyn Hall Glen Allen

While $7.50 is the current going rate for dishwashers for which I too started out with 10 years ago, my former employer was kind enough to have paid me $9.50 for the last eight years I worked for him. I can understand when companies and corporations see LETTERS, pg.17

time. Careers on the railroad, or major manufacturers were prize catches for graduates who didn’t want or need to attend college. Those opportunities are few and far between today, and most of us face a career reality that involves multiple employees and maybe even a career change or two. Through it all, the American worker has provided the solid

It’s a well deserved recognition of the millions of us who recognize and appreciate the right to work and enjoy the benefits of well earned paycheck. Where we perform or the techniques of how we perform that work may change as wants and needs dictate, but one vital element of our economic success will remain constant — the American worker.

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Q. Hodnett
The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Daisy, 451105, is a (estimated) 4-year-old female Rottweiler. She has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Daisy is an American Rottweiler that has been in the shelter for almost one month. She is a gently giant that is sweet with people. She loves to lie on her back and have you rub her belly. Daisy seems to do well around other dogs. She does well on a leash but is very strong. Daisy will benefit great having a place to run and play. Max, 451004, is (estimated) 4-year-old male Rottweiler. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Max was found running with his friend Daisy last month. He is a large boy with lots of energy. Max loves to play and is good around people. One observation is that he does not do great in confined spaced such as cages. He gets a little mouthy. Max does well around other dogs and is well leash trained. Like Daisy, Max needs a place to run and have fun. For more information on this great pet, 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.

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Chris R. Whitley, public information officer, as a message from Hanover County Public Schools.) Dear Parents, guardians and students: One of the most important gifts we can give our children is a quality education. The schools in Hanover County are among the best in the nation. In order for students to take full advantage of the educational opportunities available to them in Hanover, they must attend school regularly, and in Virginia, attendance is mandatory. Students must attend an educational program until they graduate or turn eighteen (18).

today was either alive or old enough to likely remember first-hand the events of Sept. 11, 2001. Stop and think about that for a moment. What our children and teens know about one of the most defining moments in recent American history is only what we have told them – both the facts and the feelings of that day and the days, weeks and months that followed. And as much as we reinforce these lessons with talk about supporting our troops and coming together as a nation, it is still a history lesson now for them, like the Civil Rights Movement, Watergate, the Berlin Wall coming down or Nelson Mandela being released from prison. There is something so heartbreaking about that at the same time as it is comforting, because, really, we may want them to know the impact of that day, but we wouldn’t wish them to have to experience it to better understand. Time passes, we heal and we move on with life and all of its varied ups and downs. And to the next generation, our history
the highest it has been since World War II following 9/11. I will admit that I did not know a single person who died in the 9/11 attacks, so I would never presume to speak for what they would want. What I do know is that this one individual’s way of honoring their memories will be in the way of a remembrance of what the nation lost with their passing and a hope that the United States we strove to be after that horrific day can be a reality with or without the inane patter of the political season that always seems to chip away at that dream with its divisiveness.

becomes just that: history. Except, it’s not really. Because we still have American troops serving in foreign lands as a consequence of the events that followed 9/11 and know that too many more have died in the last 15 years. Because we have a presidential debate going on where banning an entire religion worth of people and building a wall between us and a neighbor are real topics for debate. Because security checks in airports aren’t just a routine precaution. What my mind keeps going back to is a simple question: What next? Yes, we remember. We have no choice—the images of that well documented day are burned in our psyches. Following 9/11, I was proud to see so many Americans come together to send the message that they wouldn’t let terrorists make them afraid to live life. I am not talking about the ignorant nationalism that saw people painting a religion with millions of people with the same brush. I am talking about the way words like solidarity and unity were reinvigorated and embraced. Patriotism as a real feeling and not an abstract concept or a means to promote a single ideology was probably

ASHLAND/WESTERN HANOVER | Also serving the communities of Montpelier, Beaverdam, Rockville and Doswell
Town manager: It’s so very hard to go By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — When opportunity knocks, it’s always important to stop and listen. When an assistant city manager’s position became available in Lynchburg, Ashland Town Manger Charles Hartgrove answered the call and decided to accept a new position in a new location. “I am at the point in my career
where I have been very fortunate to be given the opportunity to serve as the chief administrative officer of three wonderful towns,” Hartgrove said. “That being said, I was searching for a community, and an organization, that is larger and more complex, while also having a history of being well managed. Lynchburg fits that description perfectly,” the 13year veteran said. But leaving won’t be easy.
“Of course I have mixed emotions about accepting the new position and leaving Ashland. This has been not only my workplace, but my home for the last 13 years,” said Hartgrove. But it’s the people and organizations of the Center of the Universe that he will miss the most. “I have built many relationships, both personally and professionally, with the people and institutions here
in Ashland and Hanover County. That is what I will miss the most.” Hartgrove, 39, came to Ashland in 2003 and has overseen a government that is comprised of more than 100 full- and part-time employees. The town retired its last bond last year, and is one of the few communities that can boast of being a debt-free local government.

claim it’s all about business and the bottom dollar, I’m just not fool enough to believe it’s really about anything more than selfishness, greed and arrogance. Business will deny this so the only other reason must be is that the people in real authority simply don’t understand how to run a profitable business while paying livable wages to all employees. Business leaders are not stupid. They understand morals and discipline. Everyone at one or more times in their lives abuses morals or fails in their exercise of discipline. Understanding morals and discipline is NOT the same as exercising those morals and discipline. But, again, I’m not fool enough to believe that their actions are anything more than simple selfishness, greed and arrogance. The recent Fight For $15 Minimum Wage protest in Richmond drew my interest. Without a minimum wage indexing capability built into it, the minimum wage fight

will continue for future generations to come. All the legislative representatives have to do is continue to say that littlest of words – no -- to continue the minimum wage fight every few years, forever and ever. If only it were possible to index not on a federal level like Social Security but rather the financial health of counties indexed by, such as rural, suburban or urban counties for minimum wage earnings. As an example, the average lowest financially healthy counties across the country would be rural, the medium financially healthy counties would be the suburban class, and, of course, the highest financially healthy counties across the country would constitute the urban classification of the minimum wage regulations. There is no common sense reason why business should be forced to overpay workers in a rural class and vice versa no workers in an urban class should be forced to survive on substandard living wages. Many in the business world will tell you it does not fit in
with the global economy but I believe it fits in extremely well with the idea of global common sense. In my working life I’ve have several managers comment to me of feeling like they spend 80 percent or more of their time being babysitters. Even from a dishwasher’s perspective I’ve seen so very much of that to be true. But from the perspective of a livable wage for all employees (regardless of their maturity level), I can’t help but wonder who the bigger baby is. I have an adult son and daughter, one a detective in law enforcement and the other a computer software developer, both of whom I could not be more proud of. I want the same chances for my grandsons.

creation of our universe, they need to start with how the first molecule was formed from nothing because once that is figured out the rest of creation will fall into place. If we say the first molecule was created by a being that we do not understand, then that being could have created our universe in any condition he desired and of any age. Since we don’t understand creation, he could have created this universe as he said in his word in Genesis. Those who question creative should read Job 38. Some questions for those who do not believe. For the atheist and those who believe there is no God, where did you come from? For those who spend millions and maybe billions of our dollars trying to find out how this universe was formed, why? Our children are taught about evolution as a fact and not to believe in creation. How do they explain the beginning of evolution? Herbert Littlepage Mechanicsville

Staff Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – There’s no question about the talents of the band programs in Hanover County Public Schools. To keep that tradition alive, two new directors were welcomed with the 2016-2017 year. Austin Nicholas is leading the band program at Lee-Davis High School, while David Chung has taken on the responsibilities at Stonewall Jackson Middle School. Lee-Davis already is using the theme, “Separation,” for its marching band show. Laura Kreynus said, “These two directors have been working together since August to ensure a superior experience for the students in the band program.” Nicholas is in his 10th year as a music educator, spending the last eight years as director of bands at North Stafford High School in Stafford. Prior to his time there, he spent one year as director of bands at Denbigh High School in Newport News. Under his direction, bands have earned only Excellent and Superior ratings at District and State Assessments along with four VBODA Virginia Honor Band awards. While at NSHS, his marching bands earned two Virginia State championships, two Virginia

State runner-up awards and one Mid-Atlantic Regional championship. Nicholas is a graduate of West Point High School in West Point and James Madison University in Harrisonburg, where he earned a Bachelor of Music degree with an emphasis in Instrumental Education and Applied Trombone. He has performed throughout the East Coast and abroad in Ireland, England and Wales. He holds membership in the National Association for Music Education, the Virginia Music Educators Association, the Virginia Band & Orchestra Directors Association, Tri-M Music Honor Society, and Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. Chung has served, been an active clinician, and judged in the Richmond area since his arrival in 2011. He has coordinated many ensembles, including drumlines, front ensembles, and indoor drumlines at Atlee, Powhatan, Douglas S. Freeman, J.R. Tucker, and New Kent High Schools. He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Music Education from Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of Music. Chung spent the last year as the director of bands at Nottoway High School. He also was a performing member of the George Mason

Lynchburg City Manager Bonnie Svrcek chose Hartgrove after an extensive national search netted more than 50 viable candidates. “Bonnie Svrcek, the Lynchburg city manager, has an excellent reputation in local government management circles,” Hartgrove said. “While she was recently hired by the city council to serve as city manager earlier this summer, she has been in Lynchburg as the deputy city manager since 1999.” That experience and knowledge were aspects that made the new job appealing to Hartgrove who hopes that experience will enhance his expertise in local government. “She knows the community and the people as well as anyone. It will be a privilege to work for and learn from her.” The University of Virginia’s College at Wise graduate will assume his new duties on Nov. 2 at a reported annual salary of $135,000, but he’s already hit the ground running. “I have met with the leadership team of the city and a handful of front line employees as well,” said Hartgrove. “They are a professional and charismatic group and I am excited about the opportunities to collaborate and innovate with them ahead.” The new assignment also features an expanded list of duties, something Hartgrove is also looking forward to. “The position itself provides me the opportunity to manage different facets of core government services that I have only worked with indirectly in my previous positions. I am very excited about the diversity of work the position provides.” During Hartgrove’s tenure in Ashland, major changes occurred. “The various town councils I have served have done a great job building relationships with external stakehold-

ers, providing leadership, and making policy decisions that have led to the completion of many major projects (downtown revitalization, Hill Carter Parkway expansion, park improvements, investment in master storm water improvements) and changes in our workforce and operations that have improved our service delivery to the community,” Hartgrove said. In Hartgrove’s estimation, the town’s ability to attract professional leaders and staff has increased its efficiency and ability to serve the public better. “I am very proud of the talent and depth of our professionals that we have attracted to best serve our community. We have a strong senior leadership team with our deputy manager, department heads, and also have great frontline managers and employees,” he said. He also credits support organizations and town departments with making a major contribution to its success. “The Ashland Police Department initially and continually achieving CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies) accreditation is a constant high mark for our entire community and is a great example of the professionalism and passion our employees have for serving our citizens and businesses,” Hartgrove said. Even with those advantages, the town has faced its share of challenges recently that will confront Hartgrove’s predecessor when he or she is named. There’s a high-speed rail proposal that could have major impacts on Ashland and Hanover. “There is clearly a threat and an immediacy to the concerns with the rail proposals from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation,” Hartgrove said. “I believe town council is doing everything it can to understand the dynamics of the process, and inform state and federal decision makers with our concerns.”
The small town has struggled with a serious homeless problem mainly due to the large number of declining hotels near the interstate that cater to these clients, mostly long-term residents. Town council has taken steps to alleviate the problem, but the real muscle has been provided by local civic and religious groups who have stepped up to assist displaced residents. “While there is still a lot of work to be done, I must congratulate our faith-based and non-profit organizations for helping us begin to make positive movement on the near-homeless population in Ashland,” he said. “I have made it very clear, and council has supported this through its leadership, vision, policy adoption, and financial investment, that every child should have the opportunity to live in safe and stable permanent housing. I believe that our partnerships with these various organizations will lead to continually positive action on these challenging and complex initiatives.” Hartgrove also has overseen efforts to clean up the Interstate 95 interchange that serves as a gateway to the city. “The businesses at the interchange are the first thing that our visitors see when coming into our town, and we need to work together to make sure that the entryway is not only vibrant, but safe and clean. I am optimistic about the future of that area of town and feel certain that we can find innovative ways to enhance the gateway,” Hartgrove said. He leaves knowing that the people surrounding him in Ashland and previous assignments have afforded phenomenal opportunities for a young county manager. “Professionally, I have been given the resources and the flexibility by all of the town councils I have served to make significant decisions that impact the way our organization funcsee GO, pg. 29

many people turned out to support it,” Fowler said. Hanover Fire-EMS Chief Jethro Piland credited the Chickahominy volunteers with planning and organizing Sunday’s event that signified the 15th anniversary of the bombing. “They received a piece of the Twin Towers and created a monument in front of the station. They built that memorial themselves,” Piland said. Piland said the event allows him the opportunity to express respect for the fallen heroes, but also affords him a chance to recognize the men and
women who serve today. “It not only gives me the opportunity to pay tribute and honor those who died, but it also gives me a chance to embrace my own responders and let them public know how proud I am of them,” the chief added. V.M. Frayser, a lifetime member of the CVFD, talked about his memories of the eventful day, summing up the feelings of many who attended the memorial service. “It’s a day that changed me. It’s a day that changed you. It’s a day that changed America.”

Council accepts Foundation’s bid to operate theater By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – The Ashland Theater Foundation (ATF) was the only nonprofit to submit a bid to lease and operate the historic Ashland Theater during last week’s regular Ashland Town Council. That bid led to council action which officially has the ATF at the helm of the historic landmark for 10 years. Mayor James Foley, in announcing ATF’s bid, also noted the new revitalization fund grant awarded by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development. Clark Mercer, president of the Ashland Theater Foundation, submitted the bid to council. Town Manager Charles Hartgrove expressed full support of the ATF’s bid, and the latest draft of the lease agreement which revealed their

desire to become the lessee. Council member and former Mayor George Spagna agreed with relief. “I believe there is an old Beatles’ tune called ‘The Long and Winding Road,’ and this effort this evening doesn’t so much bring us to the end of that long and winding road -- but it begins a new long and winding road,” said Spagna. In the first place, Spagna said, it wasn’t very clear where they would exactly end up, but with the proposal submitted
by the ATF, the input given by citizens and the deliberations and the discussions between town council and various constituencies, this is finally starting to come together. “I think the road is perhaps long and winding, but we can see what’s at the end, and that’s a good feeling. It’s been a long process, it’s been a healthy process and I’m happy to see us moving forward,” Spagna said. Council’s Sept. 6 meeting included several current issues. Town Attorney Andrea
Erard recommended that the firm of Williams and Mullen was harnessed with the type of legal experience needed to handle representing the Town of Ashland in its case against the Virginia Department Rail and Public Transportation’s DC2RVA high-speed rail proposal. Erard said she was impressed with the Richmondbased law firm and lobbying group’s ability to look at multifaceted problems and still be able to “think outside the box.”

lutely everything that we can, because we are talking about saving the town. So this is just an extraordinarily important step,” Murray said. Hartgrove, who announced his resignation effective Oct. 31, along with Deputy Town Manager and Director of Finance Josh Farrar, presented two options for council to take a look at in regards to hiring a new town manager. Council was faced with choosing between implementing an internal hiring process, or to hire external national recruiting consultants to be responsible for finding applicants. Weighing out the pros and cons between the two options, council discussed concerns such as putting too much work on town staff if an internal application process were to be implemented, as well as the costs that would come with hiring a national recruiting firm. Agreeing that Ashland has a lot of major issues its government is dealing with, council concluded that hiring an external company to operate the application process would be in the town’s best interest.

Williams and Mullen submitted a proposal to the town asking to serve as its representation, which Erard was recommending approval of to council. “I believe they have the expertise and the experience to assist us best in moving forward,” Erard said. Vice Mayor James Murray announced his desire to assure the town was spending its money effectively in regards to their representation. “The question is how much are you going to spend to save the town, because we are talking about something that would destroy the town,” said Murray. Pointing out that the number he came up with was much higher than the number which was proposed, he said he was still very interested to make sure that their money was spent effectively and wisely. “I will say, in the conversation with this firm, I never at any point felt any concern or hesitation that this was a waste of time or effort. In fact, I left that meeting feeling excited we potentially had this incredible unexplored tool in our tool belt. We need to be doing abso-

Hamlin avoids wreckage to claim RIR win By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor HENRICO – As the checkered flag came out on the Federated Auto Parts 400, Kurt Busch spun out at the finish line and skidded into the infield. It seemed a fitting cap on a wild final race of the NASCAR Sprint Cup regular season. Denny Hamlin, on restart after restart following a machine-gun burst of cautions near the end of the race, handily fought off challengers to claim victory in a race punctuated by several wrecks after a largely uneventful first half. The race was slowed by just three cautions in the first 100 laps. It then went on a long stretch without any incident. But, starting at lap 202, the fireworks started in earnest – 13 additional cautions, including one red flag caution beginning at lap 365 following a multi-car pileup in turn three. “Wrecks is a part of NASCAR. It’s always been part of it for sure,” Hamlin said. “You’re getting down to the last race of the regular season. Some guys have a care factor that is really low right now. I think it’s just part of that.” Only one of the 16 cautions was triggered by something other than an accident: debris on the frontstretch on lap 223. A combination of aggressive driving and worn-out tires took

The wreck in lap 364 did the most damage, triggering a 20-minute stoppage of the race while the wreckage was cleared from the track. Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman had been racing hard all night. As they headed into
turn three, Stewart came inside. Newman was squeezed and ended up hitting Stewart. The pair bounced off the inside wall and came back out, collecting Carl Edwards, David Ragan, Chris Buescher, Brian Scott, A.J. Allmendinger and Dylan

HENRICO – It came down to the final restart for Kasey Kahne to try and make the Chase for the Sprint Cup in the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway. Kahne worked himself up to the fourth position after the race resumed following the lap 400 caution when the RIR-record 16th caution flag flew. Just Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski were in front of Kahne and he had the freshest tires. But, Hamlin broke away from the pack and Kahne got caught in the see CHASE, pg. 32

Busch dominates (again) for XFINITY Series win By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor RICHMOND – Kyle Busch had a rough XFINITY Series run coming in to the Virginia529 College Savings 250 at Richmond International Raceway Friday night. Busch finished 37th in the Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen. He finished 24th in the Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway. He was determined to do better when he came to Richmond. He did. Busch, in the No. 18 NOS Toyota, took the lead from polesitter Austin Dillon on the 52nd lap, and held the lead for all but two laps afterward to earn his 84th XFINITY series victory and his 10th win (six in the XFINITY series) at Richmond. It was a gratifying end to a day that did not look so promising at the start. “It was unexpected, that’s for sure. It was the word of the night for me, anyways,” Busch said. “All things considered, in practice earlier on today, we just were kind of fighting it, just didn’t really feel very good. But

Ryan Newman was also facing adversity all night. He was blocked in by Hamlin on pit road during one stop, slowing his departure from pit road. On the Lap 361 restart, Newman was in 10th and had a chance to make a run on the Toyotas that were dominating the race. But, he and Tony Stewart got caught up in a wreck on Lap 363 that ended any chance Newman had of winning the race to make the playoffs. “We’ll keep fighting like we always do,” Newman said. “It’s
[crew chief] Chris Gayle and his guys did a great job. They went to work and found some things wrong and then worked on it.” Still, it took a bit of a break to get in the lead. Dillon, driving the No. 2 Ruud Chevrolet, led from the start of the race until a caution on lap 50 when J.J. Yeley, in the No. 44 Zachry Toyota, bumped the No. 42 Katerra Chevrolet driven by Justin Marks in Turn One to send Marks spinning into the infield grass. Dillon fell back during the ensuing caution and Busch emerged at the head of the pack. Busch yielded the lead for just two laps – from 158 to 160 – to eventual second-place finisher Erik Jones in he No. 20 Dewalt Flexvolt Toyota. Jones’ second-place finish was his best out of three topfive runs at Richmond. “I just felt like I learned a lot about the track tonight and got better myself,” Jones said. “It’s funny, [Richmond] is nothing like Darlington, but the surface is very similar in the way it’s abrasive. It wears tires out. It’s slick pretty much the entire run.

Buescher said that most of the race was all about “no risk.” When he came to pit on Lap 308 for a possible flat tire, his team urged him to not speed on pit road. “It’s obviously a big night,” Buescher said. “For a small team for us to pull it off, to get that win at Pocono and make the Chase, it’s pretty special.” McMurray fought back from being 24th on lap 360 to a sixth
place finish. “We’ve made huge gains and I’m really proud of all those guys,” he said. “I feel better about our chances this year versus last year.” Kyle Busch and Keselowski will start the Chase for the Sprint Cup at Chicagoland Speedway at the top of the standings followed by, in reseeded order, Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Truex, Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Joey Logano, Larson, Stewart, Kurt Busch, Buescher, Elliott, Dillon and McMurray.

Cross country teams find changed landscapes By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor The 2016 cross country season brings the usual changes from graduation and the moving up of runners from the middle schools. But some changes are of the less-than-usual variety. Among them is the transfer of senior Grant Davis from Patrick Henry to Hanover. Davis, one of the Patriots’ former leaders, transferred to Hanover to make it easier to participate in the sports medicine program at the school. Lee-Davis is undergoing another kind of change: a boys team with a stronger off-season work ethic that should pay off when it comes time for postseason meets. Lee-Davis The Confederates boys will be led by a talented cadre of underclassmen. This summer, they worked hard and head cross country coach Neil Mathews is already seeing the benefits. “Last year I talked … about how much we didn’t run in the summer and how much it was going to be the trail of tears all year long,” Mathews said. “This year we ran in the summer and they’re seeing the benefits of it

and they’re reaping the benefits and I think they will be real excited come the end of the year.” While some of his younger runners are banged up, Mathews expects them to heal up and be ready to contribute in postseason. His boys are led by Patrick Sutphin, Lane Johnson, Jack Ikenberry and Cole McAndrew,
all of whom are running well. Sprinter Jeremiah Hankerson has joined the cross country team and is making a contribution. “He’s a stud,” Mathews said. “When you’re a stud, you can run.” While the number of Confederate girls running is down, the Lee-Davis girls are well stocked with talent. The
team will be anchored by Desiree Horsley and Nicole Van Ess.
to the long runs,” Larson said. “I was actually liking all the cautions we were getting. I would pass a couple of cars each time we got a yellow. … We were able to find our way up front.” Even after the restart from the red flag on lap 365, the wrecking wasn’t over. At the start of what should have been the final lap, Reagan Smith cut a tire and spun into the wall in turn four to trigger a record 16th caution at RIR and to set up a dash for the finish between Hamlin and Larson for the
checkered flag once green flag conditions returned. It helped that Larson got fresher tires – and a favorable lane – for the final restart. He got the outside lane while Kyle Busch got the inside. “We were able to get four semi-fresh tires there,” Larson said. “Kyle Busch, he kind of got trapped [on the inside]. Where I was starting was on the outside, got a huge run along the top side. That was a lot of fun. “It was pretty crazy. It was almost like a video game, only
rookie mode. They were just way off the pace because they had a lot older tires. Wild finish for us.” Hamlin – whose crew chief, Mike Wheeler, told to stay on the track rather than pit – was not going to let the younger Larson beat him to the finish, getting a good jump at the green and pulling away until the end. “I’ve really never seen old tires win a race in a greenwhite-checkered, but it was just enough,” Hamlin said. “Just a great restart.

But a long-time Hawk, junior Nathaniel Good, will battle Davis for the No. 1 spot on the team. “I think the biggest impact so far of having Grant around is on Nathaniel Good,” said Hanover head coach Cameron Hopper. “Nathaniel is a very good runner and it’s giving him someone to run with and run after. … It’s motiviatine hem to get at a higher level.” The top of their lineup is split among seniors and juniors, with seniors Isaiah Mathews, Jonathan Hudson and Will Chesley being in top group along with juniors Willie Sadler and Michael Chin.

Hopefully, we’ll be able to challenge them.” Connor Moses returns to anchor the boys team. He and Cameron Helmlinger should be among the Raiders’ top two boys. But they’ll get a lot of pack support from Zach Berenson, Josh Bowers, Jake Dehetre, Conor Helmick, David Martin, Adam Prousalis, Rehan Saeed and Nate Wells. “The key is going to be how low a number are we going to get out of those top two or three runners,” Triemplar said. “Because once we start coming in, we’re going to come in. When we get our first one in, there’s going to be a bunch of them behind.”

Sophomore bests field in Pole Green XC Classic By Dylan Garner Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Amid a deep and talented Deep Run roster fronted by upperclassmen, Lily Snow’s quality and consistency in her freshman year of cross country may have flown under the radar. With a breakout race in the first week of cross country season, there’s no more flying under the radar for Snow. Snow, a sophomore, took first place in the girls varsity race at the Pole Green Classic at Pole Green Park in Mechanicsville on Saturday, clocking in at 19:22.23 and leading the race from nearly start to finish. In the transition from her freshman to sophomore year, Snow was able to bring real experience and spend a full summer working out with her team, which she didn’t have as an incoming freshman last year. “She’s going to have a huge jump. She’s been doing an excellent job training this summer,” said Deep Run coach Drew Spicer. “Last summer, before ninth grade, she really wasn’t doing that much. It’s just a totally different ball game.” Snow won a small meet — the first of the season for the Wildcats — at Crump Park on Wednesday, but on Saturday she was put to the test with Glen Allen seniors Rebecca Fagan and Caroline Robelen and competitors from in and out of Richmond racing her at Pole Green.

Hanover’s Wilkinson earns a drenching
Dave Lawrence/The Local
Hanover’s No. 1 golfer Ward Wilkinson gets a celebratory drenching by Patrick Henry golf coach Dave Hudak after Wilkinson shot a 6-under-par 29 in a match against both the Patriots and Atlee at Hanover Country Club Thursday. “It was
unreal,” Ward said of his performance, which had the course abuzz. He began with a birdie on the first hole, but a birdie on “one of the longest putts I’ve ever made in my life” on the third hole set the tone for the day.
By the first mile, she held a 7-second lead. At about two miles, the gap was 23 seconds. She cruised to victory against a bunch of girls she’ll be seeing frequently through November. “It was good. I know those girls from Glen Allen are really good, a lot of girls out here are really good,” Snow said. “So it’s
a good confidence booster for me throughout the rest of the season.” Fagan and Robelen finished second and third, respectively, to lead the Glen Allen girls to a back-to-back team title at the meet. The Deep Run boys won the title on their side, with Bashir
Mosavel-Lo, Zachary Levet and Matthias Cannon finishing second, third and fourth. MosavelLo, last year’s winner, was runner-up to Oscar Smith’s Peter Smith (15.47.69). Midlothian claimed second place in the team standings in both races. Glen Allen coach Jenn Ennis
was looking for her two senior standouts to perform well, along with Ashley Henneberger, a junior who missed the postseason last fall with an injury, and the younger members of the team. After succeeding in their first big meet of the season, Ennis is trusting Fagan, a first-

you need to adjust at night, but you kind of just – the better it is in the daytime, the more you kind of know you can put those adjustments in and you’ll be good. “But when you’re not really good during the daytime, you don’t necessarily have that
confidence. I think that was one of those days for us.” That changed after the first pit stop. “My guys had an awesome pit stop and got me out front,” Busch said. “Chris Gayle made some really smart adjustments

They work together — they’re best friends — and I think it demonstrates that chemistry is pretty important to the success of a team.” Dylan Garner can be reached at dgarner@timesdispatch.com.

Yellow Jackets’ Frederick too much for Averett yard pass to set up Bowman’s touchdown. Vairo wasn’t asked to do much with his arm, completing 11 of 15 passes for 147 yards. He added 46 yards on the ground. Chip Knighton can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.
By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – Averett entered Saturday winless against in-state rival Randolph-Macon and finished the day the same way despite a decent statistical performance and a feisty first quarter. The difference? The Cougars don’t have Tre Frederick. The sophomore, the reigning Old Dominion Athletic Conference offensive player of the week, rushed for 177 yards and two touchdowns, added a long touchdown reception and generally gained yards at will. Meanwhile, the Yellow Jackets shut out the Cougars over the final three quarters to remain unbeaten with a 44-10 victory at Day Field. Randolph-Macon took control with a 17-point second quarter that turned a 10-7 deficit into a 24-10 lead after Seth Yurgel drilled a 33-yard field goal with less than a second remaining before halftime. The Cougars (1-1) couldn’t muster any drive outcome better than a pair of missed field goals the rest of the way. “We got off to a little bit of a slow start on both sides of the ball,” Randolph-Macon coach Pedro Arruza said. “The thing that I’m happiest about is that we didn’t panic when things weren’t going our way early on.” Averett pulled into the lead late in the first quarter on a Cole Westberry field goal, but still came away from the drive disappointed. After Travis Jones ran 35 yards to the RandolphMacon 3-yard line, the Cougars appeared to get a bit of luck when center Jake Comer’s snap bounced off quarterback Kelly Hall’s hands, but went straight to running back Sean Bowman. He corralled the ball and sprinted left for a touchdown, but the

score was called back for holding, and Averett had to settle for three points and a 10-7 lead. “We didn’t have a very good first quarter, at all,” Arruza said. “We hung in there and tried to figure some things out. They gave us some different looks that were a little bit different than what we had seen on film, and we had to make some adjustments on the fly. I was happy with the way that the kids responded.” The Yellow Jackets (2-0) did more with a similar bit of good fortune to take the lead. On third down, quarterback Joseph Vairo lost the ball on a big hit, but sophomore tight end Sean McDonald snatched the ball out of the air and bulled his way for

a first down. The play set up a five-yard touchdown run from Eric Hoy that put RandolphMacon up 14-10. In addition to his heads-up recovery, McDonald led the Yellow Jackets with five catches for 48 yards. “He’s been a very pleasant surprise,” Arruza said. “He’s a much more physical player than he was last year. He made a bigtime play on that third down where he broke all those tackles after the batted pass. He’s emerging as a big-time player in the offense.” Vairo followed that with a six-yard scoring run, his second score of the day following a 62-yard touchdown pass to Frederick on the Yellow

Jackets’ first drive. On that play, Frederick snuck out of the backfield on a wheel route and got behind the defense for an easy pass and score. “We’re getting to a point where there’s not as much communication needed,” RandolphMacon center Jay Hausler (Atlee High School) said. “We can predict what the other person’s going to do since we’ve had a cohesive unit throughout camp and the first two weeks.” He added his second touchdown on a 7-yard run in the third quarter and his third on a short run in the waning minutes, sandwiched around a Vairo rushing score. Meanwhile, the Randolph-Macon defense wasn’t giving Hall any room to
breathe, sacking him five times. Despite his dangerous evening, Hall was a bright spot for Averett, passing for 276 yards, with 221 going to Terrance Owens. The senior caught a 62-

Modifications to make bathrooms safer
G
ardening is a rewarding hobby that can pay a host of dividends, both for the planet and the people doing the gardening. Healthy plant life can help clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and various air pollutants, while the act of gardening can help gardeners combat stress. Few areas in a home can prove as perilous as bathrooms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says every year around 235,000 people over the age of 15 visit emergency rooms in the United States because of injuries suffered in bathrooms. The majority of these injuries (many of which require hospitalization) result from falls. Injuries sustained in bathrooms typically occur in and around bathtubs, usually when a person is getting in or out of the tub. Falls occur when people slip on wet surfaces or get dizzy and lose consciousness within the tight confines of the bathroom.
Although bathroom injuries are mostly associated with the elderly, anyone is susceptible to such injuries. Debilitating diseases, instability from an accident or injury or even impaired vision can trigger a bathroom accident. Thankfully, some minor modifications can make bathrooms safer for everyone.
Grab bars Unsteady individuals may rely on towel bars or shower knobs to provide some balance when maneuvering around bathrooms. But such items were not designed to support a person’s weight and can be slippery, making grab bars the safer choice. Look for bars with slipresistant surfaces instead of chrome plating. Bolted-in bars that are fixed to the studs in a wall, provide more reliable support than bars that employ suction to stay connected to the wall. Install the bars where they provide optimal leverage and stability, such as close to the

Chairs

A bath/shower chair can make bathing safer. Pharmacies and medical supply retailers carry these sturdy, plastic chairs and stools which can fit inside of a shower or tub. They enable a person to rest his or her legs and sit while bathing. When remodeling a bathroom, have a seating area built into the design of the
Many injuries occur when people are attempting to get in and out of the tub or shower, but a transfer bench can greatly reduce the risk of such injuries. The bench is placed outside of the tub, and users just sit on the bench and then swing their legs over the ledge of the tub rather than stepping over while standing.

Ways to improve indoor air quality all year long
A
s winter wears on, it’s not uncommon for people living in cold weather climates to experience some cabin fever. Winter weather confines many people to their homes, making many antsy to get out once the first signs of spring begin to appear. In addition to contributing to cabin fever, winter weather can have a negative impact on indoor air quality. While air pollution is something most often associated with densely populated cities, the air inside homes is not immune to pollution, especially during long winters when windows are often closed for months at a time. Though open windows in spring and summer can vastly improve indoor air quality, there are ways to ensure that air stays fresh and healthy regardless of which season it happens to be.
Clean the floors Dirty floors are one of the chief contributors to poor indoor air quality. Dust, dirt, pollen, and pet dander can accumulate on floors, leading to poor air quality and potentially aggravating respiratory conditions such as asthma. When vacuuming, use a vacuum with a HEPA filter, which is a uniquely designed
mechanical air filter that traps harmful particles such as pollen, pet dander and dust mites. When you finish vacuuming, mop floors to gather any dust or allergens that escaped the vacuum.
Control indoor air moisture
air fresheners, may be providing that welcoming scent at a heavy cost to a home’s inhabitants. Such fragrances may be emitting various chemicals, including volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, into the air, affecting indoor air quality and possibly even human health. When buying laundry products, look for those that are fragrance-free, also choosing home cleaning products that do not include any artificial fragrances. Indoor air quality tends to suffer in colder months, when windows are closed and doors are open only briefly. But homeowners can take a handful of simple yet effective steps to ensure the air in their homes is healthy all year long.
Moist air is great for dust mites and mold, both of which are very bad for humans, so do everything you can to maintain healthy levels of indoor air moisture. Dehumidifiers can reduce indoor air moisture and control allergens, but it’s important to take additional steps as well. When bathing, try to keep a bathroom window open on a slight crack to prevent mold growth. When preparing Houseplants meals in the kitchen, make use Gardening is a rewarding of your exhaust fan.

Clean indoor air is important for everyone, but especially so for those people who suffer from respiratory ailments like asthma. In fact, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology considers indoor air filtration an essential part of any strategy to improve respiratory health. But filtration systems and air purifiers are often not enough, and those who want the air in their homes to be as clean as possible may benefit from introducing certain houseplants into their homes. The following are a handful of plants that can help to improve indoor air quality.

Journal of Health Psychology, a study from researchers in the Netherlands found that gardening promotes relief from acute stress. In the study, two groups of participants were asked to complete a stressful task and then instructed to either read indoors or garden outdoors for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the latter group had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and even reported being in a better mood than the group instructed to read indoors. But gardening does more than just provide gardeners with a reason to spend some time relaxing outdoors in an effort to relieve stress. Gardeners who raise certain plants may be able to bring those benefits with them when going inside as well. According to an article published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives in October 2011, houseplants can work wonders when it comes to improving overall health, removing toxins from air, soil and water by metabolizing some toxic chemicals and releasing harmless byproducts while sequestering such toxins by incorporating them into plant tissues.
