Hines: oďŹƒce faces challenges like nation

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

COL. DAVID R. HINES Hanover County sheriff

MECHANICSVILLE – As Col. David R. Hines looks to a new budget year, he is quick to point out that the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office “had a great year� in 2015 —“crime was down.�

His tone then becomes more serious as he says, “We have challenges facing us;

we have the same challenges that are facing this nation.�

Hines, as sheriff, is the top law enforcement officer in the county, and he quickly notes that his department has to consider the ongoing growth. “We also have to look at terrorism. To some degree, we probably have a little bit better experience than perhaps some localities across the nation, because,

back in 2002, we dealt with it.�

He was, of course, referring to John Allen Muhammad, “the Beltway Sniper,� who struck in Ashland, just off Interstate 95. Hines was in charge of operations under the command of his predecessor, Col. Stuart V. Cook.

Hines said the country is experiencing a similar methodology as they saw with the Beltway Sniper. “We saw what

two individuals with one rifle and a Chevrolet Caprice could do. They literally shut down commerce on the entire East Coast.�

The shooting took place on the parking lot of the Ponderosa restaurant. Fortunately, no one was killed, but a customer was injured. Hines said see HINES, pg. 4

he was “in charge of all law enforcement. We handled the crime scene; we worked with the rest of the task force. We had the opportunity to see what the type of crime could have on an entire nation.”

That incident served as a reminder that the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office does “understand what happens — whether it happens in Hanover or somewhere else in the nation” and how it impacts “our community. We’re trying to be better prepared for that.”

“At the same time,” Hines continued, “we’re trying to be better prepared, working with our board of supervisors and county administration. There are growth opportunities that are coming to the county.”

“The budget that we put forward reflects our needs,” he said. “I left the board [of supervisors] with this, and I hope what I left them with was our willingness to partner to find a way to bring the sheriff ’s office’s five-year personnel plan and the county’s five-year financial plan for personnel together.”

Proudly, the sheriff talks about the community’s needs and the partnerships his office has formed. He said his department remains focused on what the needs are for the future.

“We work to find a way to bring those two plans together in working with the county

administration and the board [of supervisors]. We found a great willingness from the county administration and the board to want to partner to bring those two plans together this year.”

In his budget request, he asked for 10 deputies and two administrative assistants. He said they need 10 deputies

“I’ve never gone into a budget presentation trying to scare this community. I do have a broad understanding of what the county’s needs are and I make sure we fit into that.”

for the patrol division. “That doesn’t take into account seven others that we need for our investigative operations.”

Under Hines’ leadership, the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office – with 211 deputies – covers nearly 500 miles.

“We saw a slight increase in our response times this year,” he said. “I tell them [the supervisors] that every year. In this [budget] presentation, Priority 1 calls showed a two-minute increase in our response time over five years.”

When he talks about his department, Hines emphasizes that “We’re part of this community; we understand it.

We’re coaches; we’re peers; we worship in the same churches.

We’re all neighbors and we understand the needs of this community.”

“Our motto has always been ‘Continuing to be a part of, not apart from, the community,’ and we still believe that today.” With pride, he added, “And we’re recognized nationally for our partnerships with our community.”

The Mechanicsville Local

April 6, 2016

The partnerships his office has throughout the county is, in his opinion, “manpower intensive. You have to have officers available to be in the neighborhoods. You have to have officers available to meet with the businesses to keep those partnerships alive.”

In his recent address to the supervisors, Hines said he stressed “manpower, personnel and also that we understand the county budget. We understand it. So I’m hoping that where we are – and I think we are – that there’s a willingness for county administration, the board of supervisors and Sheriff ’s Office to bring those together: the county plan and the sheriff ’s five-year plan.”

“I’ve never gone into a budget presentation trying to scare this community,” the sheriff said. “I do have a broad understanding of what the county’s needs are and I make sure we fit into that.”

When he approached the supervisors last year about his budget needs, Hines asked for six deputies. “We knew this year that we couldn’t ask for 17, but we would be able to ask for six or eight. We’re trying.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

Public safety, education remain top priorities Admittedly, I don’t envy members of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. They have to make difficult decisions sometimes and that may involve cuts to services or increases in taxes. Both issues will get their constituents’ attention in a quick way.

This budget season, however, it appears as if the supervisors are setting their goals in a realistic and, most of all, necessary manner.

In a meeting with County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. earlier this year, he outlined his proposed budget just before presenting it to the supervisors. His plan had an emphasis on public safety and education and we said “Bravo!” at the time and will repeat it today.

No one wants to see any cuts in any county-funded operations, but we have to consider what’s best for the citizens. Public safety and education are at the top, folks.

We have a relatively new board of supervisors, with two newcomers — Faye O. Prichard, Ashland District, and Scott Wyatt, Cold Harbor — joining Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley, Beaverdam; Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy; Sean Davis, Henry; Wayne Hazzard, South Anna; and Canova Peterson, Mechanicsville. So, it’s still too early in the game to see how they will function as a voting governmental body, which sometimes can make it a bit more interesting.

But, in the case of public safety and education, this vote should be unanimous. I understand the supervisors are being pulled in many directions by they people they serve (again, I don’t envy them and the time and commitment that’s involved), but a “Yea” for public safety and education is a must for our county.

I’ll even go ahead and say “Thank you” to the supervisors for making sure we are protected and the children of the county are educated. Hanover County is envied — and there are many reasons for that.

Let’s continue to make sure we can boast about why we live here and why it’s the best county in this region.

If you have a comment or concern about the upcoming budget vote, make your voice heard.

Theatre closing: end of an era

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist The projection room at The Westhampton Theatre went permanently dark a couple of weeks ago. For the many who formed lifetime memories at the Grove Avenue landmark, it also marks the end of an era for venues like Westhampton.

You stick around long enough and you witness the beginning and end of a way of life: going to the movies in America.

It began early in our childhood, and Saturday morning movies at The Westhampton were a regular staple in our routine.

My sister remembers the strict instructions from our father as she exited the car better than me. “ ‘Even if the movie is over, just sit there and watch it again, if I’m not there — don’t move until I come to pick you up’ ” were our normal Saturday morning marching orders.

The double features were rarely good, but always played to a packed house. The Westhampton was a neighborhood centerpiece in a collection of local landmarks that provided the foundation for many of our memories.

In 1960, Richmond’s downtown featured a number of theaters, all of them decorated with under the marqueesituated signs advertising the latest creature comfort: air conditioning.

Our Willow Lawn neighborhood connected to the line of movies on Broad Street via the bus, and we often made the trip to The National, The State or The Colonial.

I recall a special trip to the most elegant of the downtown houses called The Lowes. After a trip on the bus, movies like “Goldfinger” at the Lowes transported its viewers to far away places.

I attended the Richmond premiere of “A Hard Day’s Night” at the Capitol across the street from the old Train Station, now the Science Museum.

Decades of my life and the memories that document it were formed in movie houses around Richmond. Like many others, special relationships or first dates always seemed to somehow connect to one of the many theaters in Richmond.

I suppose it began to change when multi-movie theaters began to open around the area. They were stark in comparison to their predecessors, and depended on sheet metal and simplicity instead of elegance and mahogany.

The Byrd and The Westhampton outlasted all of the others, with the latter continuing as a regular outlet for foreign and independent films. But, the writing was on the wall, and the theatre showed its last movie.

The closing evoked many memories for many who loved the Williamsburg style movie house, a venue that seemed unique to those who visited.

Dozens of club sandwiches at Phil’s, an untold number

of orders of shrimp-fried rice at Peking and few underage beers at The Tempo Room later, it’s all just a memory.

Since its closing, I’ve learned the theatre infiltrated many more lives than I realized, and its closing brought a unified sigh of dismay at a world that values new and improved, and ignores steady and sure.So, is it appropriate

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

Many memories were made at the Westhampton Theatre, which recently closed its doors.

for many of us to feel a twinge of melancholy as the box office goes dim on Grove Avenue?

I suggest that, after all, it’s never saying good-bye to an old friend.

ASHLAND/WESTERN HANOVER | Also serving the communities of Montpelier, Beaverdam, Rockville and Doswell

Piland: Station 9 will be manned Fire-EMS chief to community: 9 full-time firefighters will be in Rockville

By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News ROCKVILLE — Hanover Fire-EMS Chief Jethro Piland had good news for the roughly 75 people gathered at the county’s Fire Station # 9 for a community meeting Thursday evening: As of May 1, the station will be staffed with nine full-time firefighters.

It was a positive development after a difficult year, one that saw the Rockville Volunteer Fire Company officially disband after 62 years of service. But it didn’t completely

alleviate concerns expressed by many during the meeting that the fire station may still be dangerously understaffed. When Piland explained that the new hires would likely allow him to keep the station fully staffed and operational for at least six days of the week, one woman asked what would happen “if my house catches fire on the seventh day?”

The question served to underline what has been a growing concern as volunteer numbers continue to decline nationwide. As current volunteers advance in age and grad-

ually leave the ranks, many fire stations have had to scramble to cover shifts and maintain service levels.

The problem is due to a number of factors, Piland said, chief among them the fact that younger people today are simply not willing or able to volunteer the way the previous generation did.

“The issue is just the dynamics of life,” Piland said, pointing out that many young people who do sign up to volunteer do not stay more than a few years before moving on to paid jobs with other depart-

ments.

Piland stressed that he is tremendously thankful for the work of the volunteers who currently serve in Hanover. But the fact remains that a situation could arise — if someone working at the Rockville station gets sick and can’t come in, for example — in which the fire station is not adequately staffed to respond to calls.

For Hanover resident Pat Lacy, the reality of understaffRoslyn Ryan/Richmond Suburban News ing hit home last year when Hanover Fire-EMS Chief Jethro Piland listens to a resident’s a fire broke out in the home see PILAND, pg. 25

Teen Leader-in-Training applications accepted ASHLAND â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hanover County Parks and Recreation is accepting Leader-In-Training (LIT) volunteer applications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summer is fast approaching and we want to help make it your best summer possible,â&#x20AC;?

Greg Sager, director, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If fun is on your agenda while gaining work experience, the LIT program is perfect for you.â&#x20AC;?

To be eligible, you must be a rising ninth grader (or higher) for the 2016-2017 school year and be under the age of 18 as of June.

Not many volunteer opportunities allow you to help children paint masterpieces, make friendship bracelets, go on field trips, play dodgeball, or just be a positive role model to young campers.

Just imagine a day full of running around, sweating, singing songs, showcasing your own talents, and helping fellow recreation staff.

By being an LIT, you will gain knowledge to help you decide, when you come of age, if you want to be a recreation leader. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll gain responsibility on how to plan activities, how to organize a schedule and how to maintain professionalism around your peers, older staff and parents.

A competitive selection

process (including application and interview) will be used to fill the limited number of LIT positions. Chosen applicants may be scheduled to volunteer for one, two, three or more sessions of either Summer Sneakers or Discover Camps.

Due to the high number of applicants and limited openings, not all applicants will be offered positions.

The application deadline is Sunday, April 10.

To apply, visit www.hanovercounty.gov and search volunteer opportunities. Additional questions can be directed to parksandrec@hanovercounty. gov or call 804-365-7150.

Station 10 offering ‘Stop the Bleeding’ course for citizens Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND — Southside Regional Medical Center has partnered with the Chickahominy Volunteer Fire Department to promote lifesaving “stop the bleeding” skills to the community.

In the past few years, Americans have witnessed a series of mass trauma and casualty situations within their own borders — from the 2012 Connecticut school shootings, 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and, to most recently, the 2016 shooting in downtown Richmond at the Greyhound Bus Station.

Each one of these incidents, regardless of cause, underscores the need for broad public awareness of how exactly to respond in such situations.

Americans must understand how to react and how to respond to these acute and drastic situations, in order to help their fellow citizens.

This new 2½-hour course will teach participants the basic life-saving medical interventions, such as bleeding control with a tourniquet, gauze packs, and opening an airway to allow a victim to breathe.

The class will be offered from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Wednesday, April 20, at Station 10 at 10414 Leadbetter Rd. in Ashland. To register, call 804-550-3473.

Mary Frayser, said, “My wish for Hanover Station 10 is to provide my community with fire protection, life safety, and community unity. I want to assist our members in their training and service of others through building confidence and experiences. This year working with our board and Hanover Fire-EMS Leadership, we will provide multiple classes for both first responders and the community.

My hope is to show the area that we are their neighbors, we want to help, and we care.”

“Our board has given their vow to assist in multiple projects throughout the year. This is a new process for many of my members. As their chief and a senior member of this station I can draw from my experiences, good and bad, to offer them assistance. This will allow them to grow as leaders in their community by providing strong emergency services, while training others in general life safety. My goal is to make Hanover Fire and EMS Station #10 a community centered location that citizens feel proud to have in their backyard. We hope to continue being a place of safety, education and neighbors helping neighbors,” added Frayser, a 21-year veteran of the force.

The Chickahominy Volunteer Fire Department (CVFD) is one of 16 volunteer fire-EMS companies that helps to make up the Hanover Fire-EMS Department.

CVFD Station #10 is located in the Hanover Industrial Air Park in the south central part of Hanover County along the busy I-95 corridor, see BLEEDING, pg. 30

Simultaneously, Williams said firefighters attacked the fire, bringing it under control in about an hour, with four engine companies from Hanover FireEMS and an engine and truck

The fire displaced approximately 80 occupants and no one was injured.

Williams said the fire remains under investigation by the Hanover Fire Marshal’s Office.

L&M Carpet One recently coordinated with American Legion Post 175 in Mechanicsville to donate and install vinyl flooring in the kitchen at the Mechanicsville-area home of Randy Kirby, a wheelchair-bound and housebound veteran that the Mechanicsville Post supports. In a letter to Brian Walinski, L&M manager, Jerry E. Tate and Janis L. Bell of American Legion Post 175 and its Auxiliary said, “The gentlemen who did the installation were very professional, polite, and did a wonderful job. The new floor looks great. They also went the extra mile and put the stove and refrigerator back in the kitchen before they left, which was a great help to me.” Tate and Bell also said they wanted “to express our deep appreciation for all you have done for us and all the help your company gives for our veterans.” Shown are, from left, Kirby and Tate. L&M Carpet One worked with American Legion Post 175 as part of the Veterans Helping Veterans program. “L&M Carpet One is happy to have provided support in this wonderful program,” Walinski said.

Tribute to Carter-Cash families to benefit theater Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND — The Ashland Theater at 205 England St. in Ashland will host a tribute to the Carter/Cash families on Saturday, April 9. Shows will begin at 3 and 7 p.m.

All proceeds will go towards the fundraising efforts currently underway to restore the Ashland Theater.

The event kicks off with the music of the Carter/Cash sound, by Ronnie Williams, The Hendersons, and others.

Mother Maybelle Carter’s granddaughter Lorrie will be on hand. Ronnie Williams played with every member of

the Carter family and with the great Johnny Cash over the years.

“This is a rare opportunity to celebrate in music and film this extraordinary family and their music,” said Carolyn Peart, who is involved with reviving the theater.

Following the live musical performance, “The Winding Stream,” the award-winning 90-minute documentary about the Carter/Cash families and their music that debuted to rave reviews at the 2014 South X Southwest Film Music Festival in Austin, Texas, will be shown.

Maybelle’s daughter, June Carter, sang for many years

with her family before her marriage to Johnny Cash.

This association with Johnny Cash’s music and the Carters continues at the Carter Family Fold in Hiltons, with an annual music fest drawing thousands of people.

The Carter family performed at the Ashland Theater the first year it opened.

Tickets are $15 and include a drink ticket. They may be purchased online at www. ashlandtheaterVA.org, Cross Brothers on the tracks, or by calling 804-304-5588.

Doors open at 2:30 for the 3 p.m. performance and 6:30 for the 7 p.m. performance.

Atlee goes .500 in Matoaca mini-tourney

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor CHESTERFIELD – Atlee batted .500 at Matoaca Wednesday.

No, the members of the team did not record a collective .500 batting average. Rather, the Raiders lost one, then won one of a pair of games on the Warriors home diamond.

The occasion was a threeteam mini-tournament that included previously undefeated Woodside of Newport News.

The Raiders, who struggled with timely hitting and defensive lapses in the opening game of the afternoon, fell to Matoaca 7-0.

But head coach Ken Schrad’s young team proved its resiliency in the second game of the day, defeating the Group 6A Wolverines 6-3. But Woodside likewise recovered, beating Matoaca 2-1 in the nightcap.

Schrad said the Raiders were a bit off kilter in the first game.

“We weren’t ourselves that first game,” Schrad said. “We gave up a couple of unearned runs to start off with and just didn’t hit the ball well for the first time this season – just didn’t hit the ball at all and I chalk that up to Matoaca’s pitching.”

The Raiders (6-2) faced Matoaca’s Robert Fultineer, who threw a complete game in earning the win. They managed just four hits off Fultineer.

Atlee second baseman Jordan Brooks stays focused as he begins his swing through the ball in a 7-0 loss to host Matoaca in the first game of the day Wednesday. Later that afternoon, the Raiders met Woodside and defeated the Wolverines 6-3.

The Warriors had nine hits off a trio of Atlee pitchers. Matoaca was led by Jake Bartlett’s 3-for-3, one RBI performance. Jacob Floyd and Zack Clark each went 2-for-4, with Floyd knocking two runs in and Clark knocking in one.

Nick Grohowski had a hit and two RBIs for the Warriors.

Schrad said the next game was a test of the Raiders’ met-

“We emphasize quality atbats, and we just didn’t get any in that first game,” Schrad said.

“We keep a quality at-bat chart in the dugout and when we fill it up, we win and when we don’t fill it up, we lose.

“From that standpoint, we sort of put our minds back into the right mindset and started getting quality at-bats against

a good Woodside team. They came in undefeated.”

The Raiders and Wolverines looked pretty evenly matched with the exception of the score.

Atlee had 10 hits to Woodside’s eight. Atlee committed one error compared with Woodside’s flawless defense.

But Atlee did a better job of getting runs across. Four Raiders recorded a 2-for-4 performance:

Henry Moore, Clay Naff, J.T. Fitzpatrick and Andrew Foster.

Moore’s two hits were both doubles; he also knocked in a run.

Naff had a triple and two RBI, and Fitzpatrick also knocked in a run.

Woodside (5-1) was led by Mason Adamson, who went 2-for-4 with a double and an see ATLEE, pg. 38

ASHLAND – Patrick Henry began the sixth inning just six outs away from a shutout of visiting Louisa County Thursday afternoon.

By the time the sixth inning was over, the Patriots trailed 6-5. By the time the game was over, Patrick Henry had been thrown overboard by the Lions 8-6.

The Patriots took advantage of timely hitting and a rattled Louisa defense to take a 5-0 lead in the third inning.

Patrick Henry starting pitcher William Strong dominated the Lions, holding them scoreless for the first five innings, but see PATRIOTS, pg. 38

Lee-Davis begins spring break with big bang Wednesday.

Grassfield out-hit Lee-Davis nine to three. The Grizzlies were also aided by three Confederate errors.

Robby Peterson and Don Goodes accounted for most of Grassfield’s offense with two hits apiece. Canon Lambert led Lee-Davis offensively with a 2for-2 performance.

Monacan 3, Lee-Davis 2: Chiefs’ slugger Aaron Robinson connected for another home run – Monacan’s only hit – to help lift the Chiefs to a 3-2 victory over the Confederates on the final day of the tournament Wednesday.

Lee-Davis could not string enough runs together despite outhitting Monacan six to one.

The defense played solid, committing just one error to two by the Chiefs.

By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch GLEN ALLEN – Russell Jenkins wasn’t slated to play center field or bat leadoff this season at Lee-Davis. But things didn’t go as planned. Dallas Jackson, the starting center fielder and leadoff hitter, fractured a bone in his leg, creating two vacancies.

Jenkins has stepped into those roles admirably. On Monday, March 28, he bashed a three-run home run, as No. 2 Lee-Davis pounded No. 3 Deep Run 14-5 at Deep Run’s spring break tournament.

“I haven’t been the biggest fan of batting leadoff,” Jenkins said. “But I’m adjusting to it.”

In the second inning, Jenkins stepped to the plate with runners on first and second. When he got a fastball from Deep Run starter Kevin Hood, he socked it down the right-field line. The ball cleared the fence, fair by just a few feet.

“I saw the pitch, and it was pretty fat,” Jenkins said. “So I took the biggest swing I could.”

So far, 2016 has been a vast improvement from 2015 for the senior outfielder. He can’t quite identify why he’s hitting the ball so much better. It might be the 20 pounds he’s gained. It might be the 2 inches he’s grown, from 5-foot-5 to 5-7. Or maybe it’s his new commitment to the weight room.

“I’m not sure what it is,” he said. “Something definitely improved.”

Jenkins finished 2 for 5 at the plate. Sophomore Braden Lambert went 2 for 4 with two doubles and four RBIs for LeeDavis (3-0).

First-year coach Tyler Johnson had considered holding Lambert back to the junior varsity. But when Lambert impressed in spring training, he

Johnson experimented with batting Lambert second in the lineup. But the sophomore designated hitter has found more success a little lower down. He batted fifth Monday night.

So the role of batting second

was given to Lee-Davis’ most renowned hitter, senior third baseman Justin Sorokowski, who is committed to Florida State. He’s a more traditional power hitter. But slotting him second in the lineup gets him more at-bats, the coach said,

Sorokowski went 2 for 4 and scored twice.

Lee-Davis pitcher Matthew Holler was effective, throwing 5⅔ innings. He gave up five runs, but only two were earned.

Whittemore stays in tune on mound at R-MC III softball tournament, has had some health issues this year, so Whittemore had little time to get used to the college game.

“My first game, my nerves definitely showed,” Whittemore said. “It just got better as the innings and games went on. … I don’t think of it as nervewracking anymore. I like playing. don’t really think me being a freshman and playing – I just think that I’m glad to have playing time.”

She has had to be more mindful of how she approaches the game, however. She had hip surgery over the summer and spent the fall and winter recovering. As a result of the surgery – and some minor complications – she lost the velocity she readily called upon at Patrick Henry. Now she has to rely a lot upon finesse.

“The batters are definitely stronger,” Whittemore said of college hitters. “My speed is definitely not to what it was before my surgery … so now I’m kind of relying upon my movement the most. … I know I’m not just going to throw it by the batters.”

Whittemore currently leads the Yellow Jackets with a 12-2 record and 1.50 ERA. In 16 appearances – 14 starts – she has given up 31 runs (20 earned) and 31 walks while striking out 89.

While the surgery and recovery arguably have made her a better pitcher, Whittemore’s offense has suffered somewhat.

“It was a lot easier coming back from the break pitching than it was hitting,” she said.

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – Not matter what gets thrown at her, former Patrick Henry standout Candace Whittemore finds a way to stay in tune.

Whittemore, a stalwart on the Patriots’ pitcher’s mound, helped lead Patrick Henry to three trips to the Virginia High School League state tournament in her four years there.

She chose to stay close to home for college, attending Randolph-Macon and continuing her softball career there.

Her college career has gotten off to a good start. Despite her own injuries that have altered her game, Whittemore has worked her way into the starting rotation with sophomore Nelda Bagley, and the pair have combined to give the Yellow Jackets a 22-6 record through a doubleheader sweep at Randolph Sunday.

“She’s been throwing really, really well for us,” said Randolph-Macon head softball coach Kevin Proffitt. “She’s kept us in just about every game that’s she’s thrown except for maybe early on in the year.”

Whittemore had to grow up quick. Bagley, who as a freshman last year ably pitched the Yellow Jackets to their first appearance in a NCAA Division

Former Patrick Henry standout Candace Whittemore has wasted little time getting comfortable on the mound for RandolphMacon, where she shares hurling duties with sophomore Nelda Bagley. Whittemore pitched the Yellow Jackets to a 2-1 win in the opener of a doubleheader with visiting Mary Washington Thursday.

PATRIOTS Continued from pg. 36

Patriots head coach Sam Hart had to go to the bullpen in the sixth. The bullpen proved shaky – it wasn’t helped by a pair of Patrick Henry errors that inning – and the Lions, sensing blood on the sand, pounced.

“We kind of did some things that allowed them to jump out on us [in the third inning],” said Louisa head coach Kevin Fisher. “Our kids hung in there and [the Patriots] made some uncharacteristic plays for them.

We battled, and then we got some key hits.”

Hart said the Patriots need someone to step up and help fill the vacuum on the pitcher’s mound left by the graduation of Chesdin Harrington, how

now plays for the University of Virginia.

“Will threw well for us,” Hart said. “But we’ve got to find somebody else to get out on the mound and exhibit .., the things that he does for us. He’s been the No. 1 or 2 guy for three years for us – him and Chesdin. Obviously, he’s still throwing well, but we’ve got to find somebody else to play like he does for us.”

Patrick Henry out-hit Louisa 14 to nine. Hunter Hart went 3 for 4, Kendall Stanley was 2-for2 and Cole Carrano was 2 for 3 for the Patriots (3-2).

Jake Tally went 2 for 3 and Aaron Szlankiewicz went 2 for 4 for the Lions (4-2), but Cale Agee was the only player on either team to take advantage of the stiff wind blowing out to left field that day. Agee took about

the only mistake Patrick Henry reliever Colton Crawley mad – drifting a pitch up a bit – and, with a little help from the wind, drove it over the left-center wall to extend Louisa’s lead to 8-5.

“I told the kids before the game that it’s going to be a strange game due to the fact of the 22-, 25-mile-per-hour winds. It’s going to change the course of the game,” Hart said.

“And it did – for us scoring some runs early, and again, it played a part in the ball there.”

RICHMOND – Gov. Terry McAuliffe issued a proclamation Monday to officially recognize April 24-30 as Virginia High School Registration Week.

The purpose will be to encourage high school students and teachers across the Commonwealth to conduct voter registration drives at their schools.

McAuliffe said, “It is important to reach out to young people early to get them interested and engaged, as government works best when as many citizens as possible have a voice in the democratic process. Making voter registration accessible and convenient for younger voters will ensure that democracy in the Commonwealth is truly reflective of all of our citizens.”

The proclamation comes as the result of a partnership among

the Secretaries of Administration and Education, the Department of Elections, Department of Education, and other interested parties to increase voter registration among qualified high school students.

“We know that the earlier someone votes, the more likely that person is to become a lifetime voter,” said Secretary of Administration Nancy Rodrigues. “With this registration week, we are hoping to shape the next generation of voters by inspiring students across the Commonwealth to register.”

In February, the Secretary of Administration’s office coordinated with students at Patrick Henry High School in Ashland to conduct a pilot program for the registration week. The result was a student-led registration drive that produced 105 completed registrations — approximately one-third of the school’s senior class.

Since September 2015,

Inspire Virginia, a partner on this project, has helped register 1,525 high school students across the Commonwealth by working with student leaders on similar registration events.

“Young people are more likely to register and vote when they have friends who help them navigate the process,” said state director Alex Chandler.

“The power of peer influence should not be lost on efforts to get students to register and vote with higher frequency.”

Secretary of Education Anne Holton said, “As we continue to work to prepare the next generation of students for economic and professional success, we must also remain focused on the importance of being engaged and informed citizens. The Virginia High School Registration Week is a great opportunity to do just that.”

Superintendent of Public Instruction Steven R. Staples said, “Providing opportunities for our

students to apply what they are learning by exercising their civic responsibility is important in preparing them to be responsible and engaged citizens.”

Virginia law allows 17-yearolds to register to vote, as long as they will be 18 on or before the next general election. They also may vote in any intervening primary elections, as 9,152 did in the March 1, 2016, Presidential Primary.

High School Registration Week will enable more qualified students to vote not only in the November Presidential Election, but also the June 14 Presidential Primary.

Virginians can apply to register online at the Department of Elections’ Citizen Portal, located at http://elections.virginia.gov/citizen-portal/index. html. Registration is also available at the Department of Motor Vehicles, at local voter registration offices and at voter registration drive.
