STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN
Residents come out in full force about rail proposal By Meredith Rigsby News Editor ASHLAND — Hanover County residents packed the Patrick Henry High School auditorium on Monday, April 4, to listen to and weigh in on the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation’s (DRPT) proposed 123-mile high-speed rail project that aims to cut travel
time from Washington, D.C., to Richmond by 15 to 20 minutes. The vast majority of attendees at the public meeting were there in opposition to the high-speed rail project’s currently proposed track options and many showed up holding large, yellow signs that read “No High-Speed Rail.” Residents voiced concerns that the two major track
options being considered – the addition of a third track on the east side of the existing track that runs through town and the addition of a bypass to the west of Ashland – will negatively impact Ashland’s economic and cultural environment, destroy valuable farm land in western Hanover, and Meredith Rigsby/The Local cut through and deplete prop- Hundreds of Hanover County and Ashland residents gathered Monday, April 4, in the Patrick see RAIL, pg. 5

Dr. Michelle Schmidt, chairman of Friends of Hanover Schools, also spoke in favor of the 2017 education budget, citing its commitment to improving technology in Hanover County Public Schools with $11 million slated in coming years to provide teacher laptops and improve technology infrastructure. She also stressed the importance of maintaining the county’s commitment to its teachers by absorbing retirement and health care increases. “Let’s not cut other things to cover the costs the state is pushing down to us,” Schmidt said. Schmidt also urged the supervisors to devise a longrange plan to address aging facilities in the county’s school system over the next three to 10 years.

Chickahominy resident Paul McFadden questioned the county’s ability to collect funds from out of county residents who attend Hanover schools, and said the system could benefit from collecting fees that, in his mind, are due. McFadden also noted the $5,600 reimbursement fee falls short of the actual cost of educating a child in Hanover County. He contended it costs around $10,000 per student to educate pupils in Hanover, and wondered why the fee is set at a lowered rate. “We don’t need more money. We need to get the money we should be getting from people coming from outside and not paying the tuition,” McFadden said. Supervisor Wayne Hazzard, South Anna District, explained the county is reimbursed by the Commonwealth based on enrollment figures, so the county cannot collect
that portion of the cost. “We get reimbursed from the state based on enrollment. We have been reimbursed from the state,” Hazzard said. Several residents raised concerns regarding Fire/EMS coverage in the western portions of Hanover County. While the proposed budget did add positions in Rockville and other stations, staffing at Beaverdam is still minimal. “We’d like to thank you for the proposed budget as presented, but we know it’s not a perfect solution,” said Jason Burrow of Hanover Professional Firefighters. “It does not solve all of our problems, but we know that it’s a great start.” Kelly West of the Beaverdam District described the need for more full-time Fire/EMS staff in western Hanover as “life and death.” She described a situation with her young daughter that required emergency care.
“It only took the Beaverdam volunteer firefighters 13 minutes to arrive, but it took the ambulance 30 minutes coming from the Doswell location,” she said. West said the Beaverdam rescue squad is located only seven minutes from her home. “I am speaking of our experience tonight to express the need to fully staff all of the Fire and EMS stations in our area,” West said. She also objected to the county’s current policy of staffing stations according to need and call volume. “I feel call volume may not be the best way to determine staffing needs for emergency services,” West continued. “Please consider funding around the clock staffing for our stations in west Hanover. The difference between life and death for some people is only a matter of minutes.”

The mission of Hanover Education Foundation is to develop and sustain business and community partnerships, and serve as effective stewards of resources to create quality educational opportunities that promote high performance in all students in Hanover County schools. The Hanover Education Foundation’s initiatives include creative instructional grants, professional development grants, and scholarship. In 2014-2015, the Hanover Education Foundation awarded $116,500 scholarships to 45 recipients for students to pursue opportunities beyond high school. Volunteer president Jim Hurtubise said, “Investing in the fabric of our youth and
providing opportunities for young adults to passionately pursue their dreams to make a difference in our society is a principle we believe passionately about. We are proud to join the Hanover Education Foundation in providing opportunities for the students of Hanover County.” ——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 Interstate 95 corridor, just north of Interstate 295. It currently maintains an active membership of about 20 volunteer members and 18 career members.

Nineteen residents asked questions at the meeting, including U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman, R-1, who asked if all congressional offices located in the area of concern had been contacted, adding that “the first congressional district is in there [the potentially affected area], you have not contacted my office.” Wittman’s comments were met with applause. The DRPT is currently conducting a Tier II Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), as required by the National Environmental Policy Act, to determine what types of resources are available in the corridor, how the proposed infrastructure options will actually benefit passenger rails and how to design improvements in a way that will avoid cultural and natural resources and private property, according to Emily Stock, project manager for the DRPT, who gave a presentation at the meeting. Another resident, Dara Nicely, who sells real estate in the area and also owns property that could potentially be affected by the high-speed rail, said that, because the DRPT is conducting the study, “we are having a hard time selling properties anywhere near

OPINION | The Local Views
Zoo trip talk proves thought-provoking
From the editor
Do you ever wonder about circumstances? Do you ever feel as though you’re having a Jerry Seinfeld moment? You know, when observations seem to take control of your thought processes. With age, I’ve discovered a more sensitive side — as opposed to that self-absorbed me, me, me identity of the 1980s. The wake-up call came with my father’s sudden death in 1992. Nowadays, there is a genuine concern and emphasis on taking into account the lives of others. Who of us doesn’t appreciate a smile in passing or a “Good morning” from a stranger? Since we relocated to the Richmond Times-Dispatch building off U.S. 301 last year, it’s common to encounter people (and there are many here) who — while I may not know them — are quick to offer a kind word or gesture. And it certainly makes for a pleasant work environment. Then there are those people you may make contact with and you just aren’t sure of their circumstances. Whether it’s passing someone on the street, going through a drive-thru, or simply being respectful of whoever you meet even briefly, you don’t know what they may be going through in their lives. You may have had one of the best days ever when you come upon someone who may be struggling to buy food, find a job, the list goes on and on. While a smile or kind word won’t pay the rent, sometimes that gesture can mean so much during a low point. I’m very mindful of gratuities — even if one is included on the bill. I feel blessed and am not in any particular need, so doing what I can has its own rewards. When I see elderly people working, I always hope that the decision is because they want to be busy, remain active — not that their financial situation forces them to do so. (Oh to be wealthy and help those in need.) It was getting a cup of coffee at a local drive-thru last week that prompted this conversation in my head. Shy and introverted are two of the last words that would be used to describe me. Maybe it’s my purpose to speak to those who may not get many kind words in a day. Whatever the reason, I’ll continue my ritual. So, be prepared: If you see me coming, I will say “Hello.” Melody Kinser

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Having three kids at home for Spring Break presents its own unique set of challenges, but finding a way to entertain and amuse children for 10 days …Well, let’s just say it ain’t easy. This year’s discussion of the itinerary was even more complicated due to recent events that, on the surface, appear to have no apparent connection to Spring Break. One of my children suggested we trek to the National Zoo in Washington. This suggestion evoked a deluge of negative responses from my other two children regarding the morals and ethics of zoos who keep animals caged for most of their natural lives. Their position was bolstered by a
recent decision by Sea World to phase out its Orca program and stop their performances by 2019. Their discussion forced me to consider the recent move, and, of course, I approached it with a bit more skepticism than them. In my heart, I think Sea World made the decision based on financial factors that were quickly spinning out of control. Since CNN’s release of the documentary, “Blackfish,” the company’s profits have plummeted, and public opinion was moving away from their position of maintaining their commercial relationship with whales. I think intentions were probably good when the Orcas first arrived. After all, it was a different era, and many visitors got their first and only chance to see the magnificent crea-
tures at parks like Sea World. As times changed, and images became more accessible online and tourist companies formed whale watching trips, the sight of a jumping whale was available to all of us. But Sea World’s quirky interactive shows remained popular for years until “Blackfish” opened a nation’s eyes to the indignities suffered by caged whales in unnatural surroundings. Point is, I probably would not have considered the moral questions regarding zoos in general had my kids not initiated the conversation. We talked about different types of zoos and how some do keep animals in natural surroundings, and how trends are moving away from caged see ZOO, pg. 21

Being responsible to keep everyone safe today When will the killing stop? When will those who no longer have the right to “bear arms” no longer have guns in their possession? For those of us who hold dear the “right to bear arms,” we had better get busy. The American citizens are not going to keep tolerating today’s Wild, Wild West scenario. Law enforcement cannot — cannot — do it alone! It will take everyone to bring this chaotic environment to an end. Do you know someone who has but is not allowed to have a firearm? It could be a neighbor; it could be a family member. Remember, that person is breaking a law that can and probably will have negative affects upon you someday. Remember, there are those who will not stop until the only ones who have firearms in their possession will be the criminals. It is everyone’s duty to obey the laws and report those who fail to do so.

Local equestrian advances to Nationals in Kentucky Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – Holly Longest, who has been competing for her first year in IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association) has advanced to the Nationals in Lexington, Kentucky. The Hanover High School sophomore competed in Regionals and then qualified for Zones to ultimately be included in Nationals. Longest will be among 600 riders from across the country taking part in Nationals. She is a member of Team Silver Lining and her head coach is John West of Hanover, who has a riding academy at Coventry Farm in Ashland. Her mother, Wendy Keller Longest, said, “Holly has been riding since she was 5 and is very committed and passionate about her sport. Her goals are to ride on a competition team in college and continue riding, training and showing.” About IEA For student equestrians in grades 6 through 12, the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) was established in the spring of 2002 and held its first annual national finals event the following year in Willoughby, Ohio.

ly and geographically each year. Beginning with just 200 participants, the IEA now has over 12,500 members in 42 states across North America. The IEA supports two disciplines: Hunt Seat and Western. There is no need for any rider to own a horse because competition horses are provided at each venue to the contestant. The mission of the IEA is to introduce students in private and public middle and secondary schools to equestrian sports and to promote and improve the quality of equestrian competition and instruction.
The IEA purpose is to set minimum standards for competition, provide information concerning the creation and development of school associated equestrian sport programs, promote the common interests of safe riding instruction and competition and education on matters related to equestrian sport at the middle and secondary school levels (primarily ages 11 through 19). To fulfill its purpose, the IEA offers guidance regarding the creation and development of school and/or barn associ-

time for citizens to express concerns by contacting board members. “If there are additional concerns, please feel free to contact me. A lot of folks have said once it gets to this point, it’s kind of over and done with. It’s not. Up until the vote, feel free to reach out and talk,” Davis added.

Three years of less funds puts Shuknpul in jeopardy By Meredith Rigsby News Editor
M
ECHANICSVILLE – Although the rainy weather that has plagued the annual Mechanicsville Ruritan Club Shuknpul oyster roast and tractor pull for the past three years was nowhere in sight on Saturday, April 9, the cold, windy weather deterred some from attending, resulting in an unclear future for the event. Going forward, the Mechanicsville Ruritan Club will have to assess the viability of the Shuknpul, Ruritan member Chester Sienko said via email. “This is the third year of less than a successful moneymaking event and the ability to continue to contribute to our community related endeavors are in jeopardy,” he said. “We cannot maintain an event that is not successful and the board has some hard decisions to make.” About 320 people came

out to the 36th annual Shuknpul to enjoy all that the event had to offer. A full meal consisting of a choice of fish, coleslaw, hush puppies, hot dogs and raw, steamed and fried oysters was served from 2 to 4 p.m. and golden beverages from distributor Loveland also were available. To prepare for the event,
the Ruritan Club ordered about 65 bushels of unshucked oysters and 58 gallons of shucked oysters. On hand to help with the oyster shucking was oystershucking champion, Deborah Pratt from Gloucester, but attendees also could grab a box of unshucked, roasted oysters to shuck themselves. Entertainment was pro-
vided by live bands Sweet Justice and The Honky Tonk Experience. “I’ve been here for many years, I have the original hat!” attendee Cindy Waller said. … “The band, the people, and the oysters, I love it all.” Waller has been attending the annual Shuknpul for at least 10 years. The annual Shuknpul also
represents the first event of the year for the Southern Virginia Tractor Pullers Association, which hosted the tractor pull competition. For the tractor pull event, tractors of all sizes — from hotrod lawn tractors to tractors the size of cars — come out to compete to see which tractor has the most power and can pull the most weight. “I love it, just seeing a bunch of guys helping the
Ruritans making some money, and the young kids are out, fun events on the tractor pull,” Rep. Dave Brat, R-7, said. … “It’s just fun, it just adds character. You know, you don’t have this every day in other communities, so it’s just fun to have unique events that fit Mechanicsville and Hanover.” Winners of the tractor pull – listed by tractor name,

The themes for this year’s budget are economic development, quality of life, and planning for the future, according to Hartgrove. Hartgrove worked in conjunction with the town’s financial director, Joshua Farrar, to develop the proposed fiscal 2017 budget, which represents a 5 percent increase over the amended full year fiscal 2016 budget and includes an $824,716 transfer from the General Fund Reserve to balance the budget.
The proposed budget estimates an increase in taxes related to the town’s real estate, meals, sales, and business licenses. Although no tax increase is included in the town manager’s proposed budget, he noted during discussion that the town will be required to advertise a real estate tax increase due to a more than 1 percent increase HARTGROVE in assessments from the prior year. The proposed fiscal year 2017 budget also
includes two recommended personnel changes. First, the budget includes the implementation of a new Compensation Plan that will allow for improved planning of program-based salary adjustments and staff to better focus on the funding availability for merit increases. The total cost for both raising salaries to the minimum of their new bands and compression adjustments is approximately $90,000, including taxes and benefits, according to documents detailing the proposed 2017 budget. Council approved the new Compensation Plan in 2016. Second, Hartgrove is recommending that the 2017 budget include $25,000 to be used for salary adjustments based on merit.

SHLAND — As this year’s benefactor of the annual Jazz Age Preservation Ball, the Ashland Theater Foundation is announcing the donation of $6,270 from the Art Deco Society of Virginia. Ashland Theater Foundation Board Member Jen Chambers released this statement on behalf of the Foundation: “This is a tremendous gift and we are so grateful to the Art Deco Society of Virginia for its support. Members of the Art Deco Society play a tremendous role throughout the Commonwealth in supporting preservation projects, and being their beneficiary this year just reinforces how important the Ashland Theater is to the region and the Art Deco movement.

The money will be distributed among departments and each department’s outstanding performers will be rewarded based on recommendations from department heads and the town manager’s discretion. The total cost of this initiative after taxes and benefits is $32,158, according to budget proposal documents. The town’s benefits are recommended to remain the same and a 12.9 percent increase in premiums with the town’s current health insurance provider is proposed. According to budget proposal documents, the town’s capital needs continue to outpace funding available to provide pay-as-you-go

ASHLAND — Bob DeLille explained the Ashland Open Door initiative, a program developed to focus on the people and families living in Ashland’s motels for extended periods of requested financial support from the town, during the April 5 meeting of Ashland Town Council. The initiative’s mission is to ensure that the basic needs of these individuals are being met in an efficient and effective manner,and to help families move into more sustainable housing and connect with services that will enable them to become self-sufficient. DeLille cited two main issues that are hindering assistance endeavors. First, he said, is that efforts being made to meet the basic
needs of the long-term motel residents have not been as coordinated or effective as they could be. Second, he said, is people are still living in hotels. Their needs are being met, but not enough effort is being made to help them break the cycle and move on to more self-sufficient lifestyles, DeLille said. Ashland Open Door plans to begin focusing on families living in the motels long-term that have children, which it feels is the most urgent and important need right now. “There are prostitutes, drug dealers, child molesters — you name it, they’re over there,” DeLille said. … “We want to get those kids out of there.” Going forward, Ashland Open Door plans to hire a full-time family services coorsee MOTEL, pg. 18

The fiscal year 2017 budget recommends a transfer to the Capital Project Funds in the amount of $1,310,000 to be used for ongoing capital needs, infrastructure related to economic development, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) funding eligible projects and quality of life projects. “This is the first budget that we have been able to develop with insight from the recently approved town Strategic Plan and the first in many years developed a positive financial outlook for town staff,� Hartgrove said. Next steps in the budget approval process include a budget public hearing on May 17 and budget adoption on June 7. Also at the meeting, town council unanimously voted to approve REZ15-1113, a rezoning application applied for by Richard E.

Holland Jr. Properties, ALLEN LLC, said. “You know, you’re trying to figure out how to balance competing interests that people have and making it so people can flourish. I think that the town staff and the commission and the council have really worked with me, with my team to balance those competing interests.� No public comment was heard during citizen input.

“My family and I love going to Marks Family Dentistry! They always make you feel super comfortable and make sure you are 100% satisfied with any procedures before you walk out the door. They are especially sensitive to those who aren’t the most comfortable with going to the dentist in the first place.”
FACEBOOK ##### Erin Mechanicsville, VA March 29, 2016 “I usually hate going to the dentist, but everyone at Marks Family Dentistry has been a pleasure to work with. The office is modern, clean, and comfortable. They seem to really cater to older generations and the level of personalized care is fantastic to see. My hygienist was fantastic. She was gentle, thorough, and put me at ease. I appreciate their state-of-the-art equipment and techniques. Dr. Marks has a great bedside manner and was easy to relate to. All in all, I couldn’t be happier. In fact, I referred my boyfriend to get a same-day porcelain crown made there, and he was very happy with the results. Two very satisfied patients here!”

ECHANICSVILLE – About 20 people made their way to Gus’ Italian Café & Sports Bar last week as they were raising funds by walking for ASK Children’s Cancer Foundation. The group observed MLB Opening Day with their arrival at the Bell Creek Road restaurant. According to Charlie Mingroni, one of their favorite and most loyal customers, Tommy Wright, has walked from his home to Gus’ (about 1¼ miles) every MLB Opening Days in April for the past eight to 10 years to watch his Baltimore Orioles play their first game of the season. “His reason is mainly to make sure he’s still in shape enough to do so. It’s comical yet serious,” Mingroni said. Three days ago, Mingroni said if he could walk with Wright. “He gladly accepted a comrade. In 2014, Tommy and I walked together, just us two. As Opening Day 2015 neared, we decided to invite a whole bunch of folks to walk and simply create a charity event out of the ordeal.” Mingroni said they had “12 or so walkers and raised $2,000 to the penny for the ASK Foundation.” They have decided to donate to the same organization and Mongroni explained why: “I was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma (a rare bone tumor in my left clavicle) in 2001. I endured 10 months of rigorous in-patient chemotherapy and in that October I had my left clavicle resected.
Tom Haynie/The Local
Tommy Wright had more than a few friends join him for his annual MLB Opening Day walk to Gus’ in Mechanicsville. Participating were Scott Stout, Amee Wilson, Tim Wilson, Anita Boland, Tiffany Gentry, Charlie Mingroni, Richard Kish, Donald Pike, Fran Kizer, Dick Twisdale, Susan Burton, Sandra Wright, Shawn McGee, Tommy Tucker, Linda Adkins and Timmy Wilson.
Fifteen years later I’m doing great.” While in the hospital, he said the ASK organization “offered many healing attributes during and since my treatments. Years ago, ASK began an all paid for retreat for all of us ‘survivors’ to get together for 24 hours to give hugs, enjoy a casino night with prizes, massage, delicious food, and, best of all, an opportunity for us to all get back together and meet new people to share stories and relive old times with the language only we ‘cancer kids’ know how to speak. It is still very healing.” Mongroni said there are professionals from all fields joining them for workshops on how to fill out job applications, college applications, applications for loans “and all sorts of creative ways to release the tensions of once having cancer.”
“A lot of these kids missed a lot of school, so ASK presents opportunities for them to get their education and later find a job,” he added. “This is just the tip of the iceberg. Cancer and our treatments impact the rest of our lives too, not only then, and ASK is that local organization that not only helps us during our treatments but long after as well. And one of my favorite aspects to this organization is that the funds are directly benefiting the children and families of the Richmond Community and surrounding counties.” He emphasized that “It’s local!” Mongroni has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater Performance from Longwood University. He has been interviewed on local and national levels, and was honored with
the Sarcoma Foundation of America Courage Award in 2014. “It has been easy to stand up and constantly praise this fantastic organization,” he said. Mongroni is friends with Grammy-winner and Mechanicsville native Jason Mraz. He said he has a connection to the song, “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry).” “While I was going through my treatments, Jason’s career was beginning to blast off. I believe I helped give him a spark with my sunlit positive attitude, and, in turn, I believe seeing his career beginning during that time, it gave me a very good reason to forever have a smile on my face to witness such drive and perfection from such a great and best friend,” he said.

Board of Supervisors’ public hearing on the budget held on April 6, 2016. Their demands never change. They want a meals tax, an increase in property tax, and any other tax increase they can think of. They just want more money period. Not for the children but for themselves. It is never for the children. When the total school budget is divided by the number of students it comes out to about $10,000 per student. This is more than enough money for our public schools. As I sat in Hanover County School Board meetings and BOS meetings I began to wonder just how many teachers lobbying groups there are in Virginia. I know I have counted 10 or more. I believe three spoke at the budget meeting. This is how the teachers’ lobby became the second most powerful lobby in Virginia. The more organizations they have, the more appointments they can get with our elected representatives. I have had elected officials tell me as soon as one union organization gets an appoint-
ment another one will appear and then another and another without end. They all say the same thing and they all want the same thing. More money less work. These union-backed groups are not about education — they are all about liberal politics. They all want Common Core. Our elected officials are encouraged to disregard all demands made by the education (teachers’ union) lobby tax and spend is not the answer. Our schools have all the money they need. Larnie C. Allgood Jr. Mechanicsville
The Mechanicsville community recently lost a true treasure. As per his adamant instructions, there was no fanfare, no funeral, no obituary — just a small, simple, lovely graveside service. But now that he is resting in peace, I’ve been given permission to share the news.
Is there anybody who didn’t know William “Bill” Messner and his dearly beloved wife, Jean, who owned the wonderful little store called “Yesterday’s Jewels” across from the Windmill? There must be hundreds of funny, poignant, amazing stories about interactions with Bill over the years! My family alone could talk for hours about his expertise in jewelry, gems and crystals; his intricate design and repair work; his published books and his outrageously funny sense of humor — and that doesn’t begin to touch his behind-thescenes generosity, and compassion for people from all walks of life. He was truly a man for all seasons — a professional, a patriot, a good man, a friend — who didn’t want anybody to make a big deal about his passing. If you would like to share your kind thoughts, memories or prayers with Jean, I’ve taken the liberty of opening a temporary post office box — available till the end of June — where you can send cards. Address
siasm for zoos, and decided we’d postpone our trip to Washington, D.C., and explore other options for our Spring Break adventure. The week flew by, and, now, long faces have replaced carefree smiles of joy associated with sleeping late and lounging around in pajamas on cloudy days. The kids had a full day of fun and excitement at Busch Gardens where they also had
a chance to see animals in friendly humane conditions, so Spring Break did have its share of highlights. My kids returned to school Monday, April 4, with a new sense of admiration and respect from their humbled father. Their concern for animals and how they are kept inspires me to think more about things I’ve taken for granted for most of my life.
Somehow, their compassion for fellow creatures made this year’s Spring Break extra special, and watching their journey of exploration and understanding of a complicated world is all the journey I need. It also left me with a nagging guilt over why I ever laughed at that parrot dressed up in a tuxedo. Oh, well, it’s never too late to be enlightened.

Child Abuse Prevention Month underway HANOVER — Why are there blue ribbons and pinwheels at the Hanover County Complex and the Human Services Building at Bell Creek? What are those blue lights about in the Human Services Complex Building on U.S. 1? In recognition of April as Child Abuse Prevention Month, individuals and organizations will be marking the month with public awareness efforts, the planting of pinwheel “gardens� and by distributing blue ribbons for people to wear or display. Every year thousands of children suffer abuse and or neglect by their parents, caregivers, and other adults. According to data from the Virginia Department of Social Services, from July 2014 to June 2015, there were 49,868 children reported
as possible victims of abuse and/or neglect. Of that number, 6,592 children were determined to be abused and/or neglected. Abused and neglected children are less likely to be school-ready and more likely to exhibit behavior disorders, to become teen parents, to abuse alcohol and drugs and to enter the juvenile justice system. Child abuse and neglect are often characterized as part of a cycle, because many people may act toward their children the way they were treated by their own parents. Breaking this cycle with education and resources for parents can prevent child abuse. In recognition of Child Abuse Prevention see CHILD, pg. 34

CASA partnered with youth during the Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) kickoff to make ribbons to be distributed throughout the county. Bookmarks with blue ribbons will be available through all Hanover County library branches. The blue ribbon is the international sign for child abuse prevention and serves as a memorial to children who have been affected by abuse or neglect as well as a reminder that we all have a duty to protect children.
The pinwheel is a newer symbol for child abuse prevention and reflects childhood hope, health and happiness. Educational materials also will be available in both Hanover and Caroline County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Courts. Citizens are asked to get involved by raising awareness for Wear Blue Day on Tuesday, April 19. Take a photo of yourself wearing blue and send it to emghant@hanovercounty.gov or post #WearBlueHanover. The photos will be added to the group’s Facebook page to show we can all be involved in preventing child abuse. In addition, Hanover CASA is sponsoring a train-
ing Tuesday, April 19, by Dr. Allison Sampson-Jackson on Secondary Trauma for people who work in human services, especially those who work with children, who are exposed to stories and scenes of trauma and pain. Participants will learn strategies for coping with secondary trauma so they can take better care of themselves and the children and families with whom they work. To obtain blue ribbons, or for more information about Child Abuse Prevention Month or becoming a CASA volunteer, call the Hanover CASA Program at 804-365-4296.

L-D wins battle of top two softball teams By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – A county rivalry. Two powerhouse softball programs. A pitching duel. Extra innings. It seems Atlee and Lee-Davis can’t help but play great games against each other. Friday was just the latest chapter. Kylie Stonebraker struck out 10 and held the defending Group 5A state champions scoreless, and the No. 2 Confederates scored a pair runs in the top of the ninth for a 2-0 win over host and No. 1 Atlee. Peyton St. George struck out nine for the Raiders (5-1). The Raiders were held scoreless for the first time this year after scoring 10 or more runs in four of their previous five games. Defensively, they had allowed only one run before Friday’s game. Scoreless through eight innings, the teams began the ninth with a runner on second base in accordance with international tiebreaker rules. In the top of the inning, it was Lee-Davis third-baseman Austyn Merrill. She scored the game’s first run when she crossed the plate on an errant Atlee pitch that went to the backstop with Heather Childress at the plate. Childress then got a bunt to fall, allowing Ella Alvis to score, giving Lee-Davis a 2-0

lead, which they held through the bottom of the inning. Atlee had runners on first and second with no outs in the bottom of the inning, but Stonebraker got her ninth
strikeout, a pop-up, and then her 10th strikeout to end the game. “Typical Atlee Lee-Davis softball,” Confederates coach Jackie Davis said.
Her team, now 5-0, was excited to play the defending state champs for the first time this year. “It’s marked on our calendar,” Davis said. “But I told
them, too, at the beginning of this week, I was like, ‘Look, it’s just another game. It’s just another game. You guys build it up so much, and then you get tight and you can’t play.’ I said,
‘you’ve got to treat it like any other game.’ “They were able to do that tonight. They played within themselves.” “(Atlee) played a great game,” Davis said. “We were just lucky and got a couple breaks and were able to break through before they did.” “We were definitely looking forward to it, because they were the state champs last year, so I think we came into this thinking that it’s going to be a hard game and that we have to clear our minds and just play it like it’s a regular game,” Stonebraker said. Stonebraker said while it was a good regular-season win, it was just that, a regular-season win. “It gives us a lot of confidence, but I think we need to remember it as just a regularseason game, because it’s not conference or regionals or the state championships so, it is a big win, but we’ve got to keep going from here.” Brad Bess can be reached at bbess@timesdispatch.com.

Hawks upend Patriots in wild ninth inning By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Patrick Henry did nearly everything it could to climb out of a hole and salvage a tie Friday night at Hanover. But the Patriots’ defensive effort wasn’t quite enough. Cameron Murry’s sharply hit grounder didn’t get out of the infield, but it was enough to score Lauren Hughes from third base and seal a 4-3 win for the Hawks in an eventful nine innings. “I just let myself breathe,” Murry said. “I wasn’t tense. I just let it happen.” Patrick Henry (5-1) had taken a 3-2 lead in the top of the ninth. Grayson Radcliffe, starting the inning at second base under international extrainning rules, scored from third base on an errant throw from Hanover pitcher Mackenzie Wyatt. The Hawks (6-0) didn’t take long to tie the game, with Erin Watkins starting the inning on second, moving to third on a passed ball and scoring on Wyatt’s blooper to left. “It’s a new ballgame once you tie it up,” said Wyatt, who battled through a blister on

her pitching hand and gave up three runs, two unearned, and struck out seven while earning the win. Hanover then loaded the bases with no outs when
Hughes’ pop-up bunt dropped between Patrick Henry third baseman Avery Houchins and catcher Taylor McLarn and Kaylyn Shepherd lined a single up the middle.
Alexa Prokopis earned a reprieve for the Patriots, catching Emma Casey’s fly ball in right field and throwing out pinch runner Ellen Palya at the plate, but an intentional walk to
Erin Acors – who had two doubles and two runs and reached base in all five of her plate appearances – set the stage for Murry’s winning hit. Radcliffe, playing shortstop, dove to her
right to smother the ball, but didn’t have a play at any base as Hughes scored the winning run. “We had fantastic things happen up and down our lineup to people who really work hard and deserve it,” Hanover coach Stephanie Acors said. “This team, this year, is really special to me because they’re really picking each other up and they don’t say die. They don’t roll over. There’s always a chance to make lemonade out of lemons, and that’s what we did.” The Patriots scored almost immediately when leadoff hitter Autumn Slemaker reached on an error and scored on Charlotte Mitchell’s RBI single. Hanover equalized in the second when Erin Acors doubled and scored on Watkins’ infield single. Both teams were quiet from then until the sixth, with Wyatt retiring 14 batters in a row before Slemaker dropped a single into right, moved up to third when the ball got past Elise Watkins and scored on a McLarn grounder. Erin Acors keyed the Hawks’ tying rally in the bottom of the inning, see UPEND, pg. 43
Patrick Henry defense shuts down Hanover By Bryant Drayton For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – For head coach Daniel McGraw and his Patrick Henry soccer team, claiming their first win of the season couldn’t have happened against an opponent they wanted to defeat more: Hanover. In the first match of the season between the two county rivals – now both in the Capital District – the visiting Patriots

defeated the Hawks 1-0 on a long shot by Logan Bulthuis. A flawless performance by Patrick Henry goalkeeper Brody Phillips helped the Patriots improve to 1-2-1 on the season. “It was great, everyone worked hard and everyone pitched in with hustle,” Phillips said. “I was just there when they needed me. It was really a great feeling.” If there were an award for player of the match, Phillips

would have been on every ballot. He was relentless in his ability to stagnate an attacking Hawks offense that dominated possession time the entire game. “He is going to remember this day,” said Hanover head coach Laurent Body. “It seemed like he won every one-on-one that came his way.” Bulthuis struck from 35 yards out with 9:38 left in the first half. The ball went over
the outstretched fingertips of Hanover goalkeeper Connor Bartal. When the second half commenced, Hanover remained on the attack but could not find a way around Phillips. The Hawks launched multiple one-on-one attacks, none more pivotal than the one that occurred with 18 Dave Lawrence/The Local minutes left in the match.

Atlee, Lee-Davis take nine in Raiders’ win By Andrew Spencer for the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee freshman Zach Beach didn’t focus on the butterflies. He just focused on getting the job done. In a night full of extra-inning games – both the Lee-Davis at Atlee and Patrick Henry at Hanover softball games went into extra innings – Beach came to the plate in the ninth inning to generate some extra-frame heroics of his own. With bases loaded, he lined a hot to right field off Lee-Davis reliever Bryan Diehr to drive in Clay Neff and lift the Raiders to a 5-4 victory over the visiting Confederates Friday night. Beach’s game-winning RBI was the dream of nearly every kid who has played baseball. The stage was set by his teammates. Neff and Cole Blackman led off the bottom of the ninth with back-to-back walks. J.T. Fitzpatrick rapped a single to load the bases. Then it was Beach’s turn. “I didn’t really have too many butterflies,” Beach said. “I just knew I had to get it in play. The infield was playing in, trying to get the force. So I just did what I could to put the ball
in the outfield.” That concentration paid off. At the sound of the ball making contact, the home crowd knew the ball was in play, and fans erupted in cheers. As soon as Neff crossed home plate, the Raiders swarmed the night’s hero as he rounded first. It was one part celebration, one part relief for Atlee. The Raiders jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the third, scoring one run in both the first and third innings and two in the second. But in the top of the sixth, the Lee Davis offense came alive, bringing three runners across home plate and forcing starting pitcher Preston Eacho to retire in favor of reliever Carson Box. “Preston hits that seventypitch limit, and he gets tired,” said Atlee Coach Ken Schrad. ”He’s a sophomore and we’re working on his strength. But he is so talented, and tonight it just got away from him a little bit. We were hoping Carson could come in and get a ground ball and get us out of that inning, but he struggled a little bit.” The first batter Box faced in relief, Zach Lass, hit a double off the sidearm righthander, bringing home two runs that were charged to Eacho. He gave up

Hanover defense keeps Monacan at bay By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover got the job one when it needed to. The Hawks got enough offense to take an early lead, and got enough defense to make it stick and claim a 4-0 Dave Lawrence/The Local victory over visiting Monacan Hanover pitcher Hayden Moore and first baseman John Gregory Wednesday night. (10) hold Monacan pinch runner Sonny Tripp on first in the “A win is a win,” said Hawks’ 4-0 victory over the visiting Chiefs Wednesday. Hanover head coach Charlie
Dragum. “We’re trying to get better every game, of course. There are things that we did really well, and there are things that we need to work on, and that is, I think, just par for the course right now at this point in the season.” From the start, the Hawks have offered strong pitching and defense. Wednesday night was no exception. Despite a shaky start by pitcher Grey Lyttle, Hanover (7-1) kept the
Chiefs from reaching home despite getting several runners in scoring position. “We didn’t produce,” said Monacan head coach Gerry Mann. “We probably left 12-14 guys on base. You’re not going to beat a team like that leaving meat on the table. They made the plays. Defensively and pitching-wise, we held up. They just got the hits when they needed to.” Dragum credited the Hawks
defense – despite some hiccups. “Grey, I think he’ll be the first to tell you, I don’t think he had his stuff that he would like to have when he was out there. So we got him out fairly early,” Dragum said. “But Hayden [Moore] came in and did a really nice job and Jack [Dragum] threw the ball well in the seventh. … The defense,

Hawks dominate Powhatan, Patrick Henry Hanover 20, Patrick Henry 6 MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover’s Tyler Cook scored five goals and Hunter Bellows and Collin Disesa added three apiece as the Hawks bested visiting Patrick Henry Thursday. Cook recorded two assists to bring his point total on the evening to seven. Bellows led the Hawks in the assist department with three. Three other Hawks scored multiple goals: Dillon Crytser, Ryan Dore and Tyler Flora each scored a pair of goals. Hanover head coach Dave Daly said the Hawks benefit from a lot of leadership. “I’m lucky that we have a very senior group that’s very focused,” Daly said. “Their goal is to play on June 11 in the state finals. They’ve been working their tails off since the end of last May when we lost in Salem in the region finals.”
By Billy Fellin Richmond Suburban News POWHATAN – Hanover coach Dave Daly said his boys lacrosse team didn’t play as fast as he would have liked to on Wednesday on the road against Powhatan. If what the Hawks did against Powhatan wasn’t fast, then the Indianapolis 500 is the next stop for Hanover. Hanover jumped out to an early eight-goal lead en route to a 17-4 final over the Indians. By the end of the first quarter, it was 8-0 Hanover as the Hawks were able to rush out against the Powhatan defense. Even when awarded the man advantage throughout the game, Powhatan was unable to get anything going offensively in the first half after Hanover fouled. Hanover was even able to score three goals down a man. “We’re big on never looking like we’re down,” Daly said. “Even if we are a man down, we’re going to try and turn it into an offensive set for us.” The offensive side of the field for Powhatan was a struggle at times, as Hanover’s physical defense was all over the Indians. The Hawks pitched a shutout in the first half, 110, and answered 2-0 run from Powhatan in the third quarter with five unanswered goals. Hunter Bellows led the Hawks with seven goals and had three assists. Trevor Cook
had five goals. Colin DiSesa scored three times and had two assists, with Chandler Attkisson and Reed Williams adding one goal each. Tyler Cook had 10 saves in net for the Hawks. Daly said that he still has things he wants to see from his team to try and prep his team
for the rest of the season. “We didn’t execute the way we need to,” he said. “That’s preparing for playoffs and things like that. Powhatan did a good job. Once we were able to adjust to (their defense) we were able to get a few more goals.” As far as moving forward, Daly said that beating some of
the premier teams in the area as well as more development of non-starters will be what he’s looking for from his team. “We need to get a little deeper on our bench and have better execution from out bench,” he said. Powhatan’s program is in its first year of VHSL eligibility and
Daly said that he likes to see these new rivalries being built. “It’s cool they’re in Conference 20 with us,” he said. “It’s nice to see these rivalries start to build, between us, Powhatan and Midlo and Monacan and teams like that. It’s just starting to generate and get better and better.”

Hanover managed just two hits on the evening Continued from pg. 41 – the Chiefs recorded one more hit than Hanover did. “Tonight was not good,” we made some plays when we Dragum said of his team’s hithad to.” Dragum said one of the ting. “But their pitching was things the Hawks need to work decent. We only had two hits.
We need to do better. We talked about that, too.” The Hawks got all the offense they needed to win in the first inning. Jack Dragum led off with a single. Camden Grimes walked, and both advanced on a passed ball. One
out later, Jack Dragum scored and Grimes advanced to third on another passed ball. Grimes then scored on a sacrifice fly by Cayman Richardson. Jack Dragum led off the third inning, reaching first after getting hit by a pitch. Grimes
again walked but was picked off at first. Jack Dragum scored on an error that allowed John Gregory to reach first base. Hanover’s last run came in the third inning. With one out, Moore singled to left field and advanced to send on Jack
Dragum’s walk. Moore stole third and scored on a messy play that saw Jack Dragum caught between first and second in a rundown. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

Confederate boys 1st, girls 2nd in Capital meet By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The outdoor track season began with a bit of a chill Wednesday. While spirits were quite warm, bodies – when not competing – were wrapped up in jackets, mufflers, knit caps and even Snuggies because of the cool temperatures. But when it was time to race, jump, or throw, athletes from all eight schools in the Capital District did their jobs. By the time it was over, all four Hanover County schools had done well, with Lee-Davis leading the way with a first in the boys standings and second in the girls. “It was a pretty good night,” said Lee-Davis head coach Neil Mathews. “We put kids in a lot of events and used it kind of like a work day. … It was a day to do some work, but we also wanted them to compete at the same time. We got a few marks and a few times that are going to help us with some qualifications, things like that.” The Confederate boys had several winners: Nicholas Corbin in the 110-meter hurdles, Sam Franklin in the 200 dash, Brandon Brooks in the

Harris was able to get past a trailing Patriots defense. All that remained in front of him was Phillips. But, like the freshman goalkeeper had done all match, the keeper came out of the box and threw his body in front of the oncoming ball. “I’m just trying to see what he does, not stop and just push forward to stop the ball,” Phillips said. The Patriots dropped
400 dash, Jeremiah Hankerson in the 800 run, Joseph Van Ess in the 3,200, both the 1,600and 3,200- relay teams, and Josh Grant in the pole vault. Grant broke a school record with a 14 foot, 8 inch vault – two inches better than before. “That was a big deal for us to have a 14-8 kid,” Mathews said. “We haven’t had a kid go 14 feet in [a while]. Josh has done it one time, and Michael Doggett last year jumped 14-1 one time.” Lee-Davis wasn’t the only local team doing well that night. Host Atlee finished second in the boys standings and third in the girls. Patrick Henry’s girls finished fourth and Hanover’s boys finished fifth. Atlee’s boys had three winners: Chad Foltz in the 1,600, Jeffrey Haynes in the discus and Cason Gardner in the high jump. The Raiders’ girls had four: CeeCee Harris in the 100 dash, Logan Shearon in the 800 run, Mayah Valentin in the 3,200 and Zaliah Care in the long jump. Hanover’s Jeremy Davis won a pair of events: the 300 hurdles and the triple jump. Teammate Carter Unger won the pole vault for the Hawks. Patrick Henry’s girls had a

to a 4-1 victory over visiting Patrick Henry Friday night. The Hawks (4-0-1) opened the game with a goal from Andrzejewski in the opening minutes. But the rest of the half was largely a stalemate, which carried through into the second half.

said. “We started working around the ball and getting the through balls to go in.” Andrzejewski would strike again with 21:26 left. She broke away from a lone Patrick Henry defender and fired a rocket to the top-left corner of the goal to signal her bid for a hat trick. With a little over two minutes remaining, she got it. A through ball came her way and she sped through gaps in the Patriots’ defense. “I was just thinking I have to get this,” Andrzejewski said with a smile on her face. “I
knew I just had to put it in the corner where [the Patrick Henry keeper] couldn’t get it.” She did just that. “Rachel has been great all year. I think this is her third three-goal game,” said Patrick Henry head coach John Andruss said. “She’s ridiculously fast. She’s going to be unbelievable as she gets a little older.” Patrick Henry dropped to 3-2. Bryant Drayton can be reached at sports@mechlocal. com.
