Heavy voter turnout expected By Melody Kinser Managing Editor HANOVER – “We are expecting the largest voter turnout this county has ever seen.� That’s how Teresa “Teri� Smithson, general registrar and director of elections for Hanover County, views the Nov. 8 General Election. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. She said she and her staff came to that conclusion following the March Primary Election. “We had 73,834 registered voters. As of this morning (Oct. 27), we have 77,515 voters.�

Edwin Gaskin told the Hanover County Board of Supervisors that the news keeps getting better for economic development here.
Economic development news on positive course By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER — The news seems to get better with every update regarding economic development in Hanover County.
Last Wednesday evening, Edwin Gaskin, director of Economic Development, presented his 2016 annual report to the Hanover County see POSITIVE, pg. 4
As Hanover County voters prepare to head to the ballots Tuesday, Smithson also reminds them that they need to have their photo identification “out and ready when they arrive.� She also asked that they not forget their patience when going to the polls.� “Our polls will be especially crowded between the hours of 6 and 9 a.m. and 5 and 7 p.m., as this is the only time available for many of our full-
time working citizens and students to cast their ballots. So for the citizens that have the benefit of a free schedule Nov.8, we encourage them to vote in the ‘off-peak’ times,� Smithson added. “This will not only decrease their waiting time, but also the waiting time of our folks going to or coming from work or school. “ She is always mindful of the see VOTER, pg. 5

ICHMOND — The Community Foundation, in partnership with the R.E.B. Foundation, invites nominations for the 2016-2017 R.E.B. Awards for Distinguished Educational Leadership. Started in 2004, this initiative seeks to recognize principals who go beyond the dayto-day demands of their position to create an exceptional educational environment. Since its inception, the program has awarded a total of $720,000 to 48 public school principals. The R.E.B. Awards for Distinguished Educational Leadership will publicly recognize four principals, one each from Hanover, Chesterfield and Henrico counties and City of Richmond public school districts. Each winner will receive a $15,000 grant – a $7,500 unrestricted cash grant to the principal and $7,500 to be used for school-based initiatives of the recipient’s choosing. Principals considered for this award should have held their position at the same school for at least three years. Nominees must be principals who: Manage effectively to promote excellence in education. Demonstrate leadership and exemplify commitment. Inspire their students and are advocates for their school and their faculty. Encourage team spirit. Foster cooperation between the school
and the community. Maintain dialogue with students, parents, faculty, and staff. Nominations are solicited from the school community or from the public at-large. (Principals may not submit their own names for consideration.) Nominations should take the form of a one- to two-page typed letter explaining the nominee’s distinguished educational leadership. It can be accompanied by up to three additional one-page letters of support. Nominations must be received by The Community Foundation by 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17. This is a receipt deadline, not a postmark deadline. Facsimiles or emailed nominations are not accepted. For more information about nomination guidelines and criteria, visit www.tcfrichmond. org or contact Susan Hallett, vice president, programs, at The Community Foundation at 804-330-7400. Nomination materials and additional information will be screened by each school district prior to final selection of winners by a committee consisting of the four school district superintendents, representatives of the two foundations and community volunteers. Awards will be announced in March 2017. Information submitted by Chris R. Whitley, Hanover County Public Schools public information officer.

Goochland man guilty in death of Rockville woman By Brandon Shulleeta Richmond Times-Dispatch HANOVER -- A Goochland County man was found guilty of first-degree murder Wednesday, Oct. 26, in the June 2015 death of his girlfriend inside her Rockville home. The jury recommended that Lamare Shiron Jennings, 39, be sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder, plus a $100,000 fine, in the slaying of his girlfriend, 44-year-old Leaudrey Salmon. Jurors also recommended life in prison for abduction with the intent to defile and 10 years in prison for robbery, in connection with the murder. A judge will formally sentence Jennings at 11 a.m. Jan. 9 in Hanover County Circuit Court. In Virginia, judges typically sentence in line with jury recommendations, but they can give shorter terms. In a 911 phone recording played for the jury during a three-day trial, Jennings told Salmon that he didn’t believe she loved JENNINGS him and that he was going to kill her. While she screamed loudly, moaned and begged for her life, saying she needed to live for the sake of her children, Jennings gave her demands and continued torturing her. It was during that approximately 20-minute encounter captured on a 911 recording that Jennings expressed anger over his belief that Salmon, a Hanover County school bus driver, had become romantically involved with another man. After having
knocked her to the ground, he demanded she get up and walk to various rooms, ultimately toward her bedroom. In the drawn-out brutality, according to evidence in the case, Jennings choked her repeatedly, using his hands and a rope, which was left bloodied and covered with Salmon’s hair. Hanover County prosecutor Mackenzie Babichenko said that after Salmon had been strangled and left limp, Jennings used a knife to slit her throat three times from one end of her neck to the other. “This entire case is about jealousy and control and power,” Babichenko told the jury, adding that Jennings had premeditated her death, ultimately killing her in a deliberate fashion. “He wasn’t letting her go anywhere. He was calling the shots,” Babichenko said. After a 911 phone call was placed from a wireless landline phone inside Salmon’s home, the dispatcher was greeted with Salmon screaming and Jennings in the background demanding: “Get up! Get up!” The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office called back. Prosecutors believe it was then that Salmon answered the phone unbeknownst to Jennings, who confiscated the phone and put it in his pocket as he brutalized Salmon from room to room. Jennings had taken both Salmon’s landline and cell phones, according to authorities. After the murder, he used Salmon’s cell phone to call his longtime friend and ex-girlfriend, Kristina Smith of Midlothian, who referred to Jennings as a friend and lover in an email to Jennings weeks ago while he awaited his trial, according to prosecutors. Jennings murdered Salmon at about 11:30 p.m. June 5, 2015, inside her home in the 11400 block of Pinhook Road in Rockville,
SHERIFF’S REPORTS
according to authorities. Salmon’s body was left in a pool of her own blood in her bedroom. The lights were off when deputies arrived, the doors to her bedroom and home were shut, and Jennings had fled in his truck just as deputies were nearing the crime scene, according to authorities. Jennings, who testified that he drank alcohol during much of the evening, wrecked his truck while fleeing and then managed to get to the ATV of a former employer on a horse breeding farm. Jennings took the ATV and used it as his new getaway vehicle, see GUILTY, pg. 16

APD reminds residents about Train Day traffic ASHLAND — The Ashland Police Department reminds residents the annual Train Day will be taking place on Route 54 and Railroad Avenue from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, 2016.

Board of Supervisors. It reflects positive growth in almost all areas of a rapidly recovering county economy. Gaskin said 1,600 new jobs were created during the past 12 months, and commercial building permits also were on the rise. Through revised and targeted land use policies, the county also has increased the number of sites for future commercial development. Landowners were allowed to rezone land to make it more commercially appealing while deferring increased payments until the land is acutely sold for development. Companies are often attracted to tracts of land already zoned for commercial

or industrial use. And those industrial uses form a key element of the county’s economic development strategy. While other regional partners in the metro area are running out of available properties for large development, Gaskin said Hanover is at the beginning of its cycle of attracting those projects. Gaskin said the private/ public funded Dominion Resource Center is another positive indicator showing upward trends in the county’s economic picture. The incubator relocated to Ashland last year, and is attracting innovative and ecofriendly businesses that are forming in and around the center. “All of these companies are in the bio-sciences, some
slanted toward medical and others slanted towards environmental issues. They are all doing very innovative things,” Gaskin said. The center is hosting its third generation of companies, some of them growing by leaps and bounds and spurring other businesses. “From those companies, at least two privately funded and managed step-up spaces have been formed, so we’re really seeing an entrepreneurial ecosystem form in Hanover,” Gaskin said. The project provides space for start-up technology and manufacturing companies and supplies clients with a cooperative and supportive environment. Gaskin said the county’s economic reach goes well beyond regional boundaries,

with numerous international doing business in Hanover. He offered several examples, including Anton Paar located off Lakeridge Parkway. The company recently opened a 30,000-square-foot expansion. “They’ve been here for decades. They are servicing an entire North American clientele off of Lakeridge Parkway, so the reach out of Hanover County is truly international,” Gaskin said. Job growth was the strongest in manufacturing and the health care fields. “We keep seeing the numbers go up in these categories.” Gaskin also pointed out the importance of good communication between his department and local businesses, and more than 200 business interviews were conducted last year. The department also sponsors business walks to meet local owners and gather feedback and information on the local economy.
Gaskin said an overhauled website also provides a vital tool for perspective clients who are looking to do business in Hanover. Tourism remains an integral part of Hanover’s plan to attract visitors. Gaskin said there is room to expand those opportunities, both in the county and the region. “There are a lot of ways we can grow this industry,” Gaskin said. Angela Kelly-Wiecek, vice chair of the board of supervisors and Chickahominy District representative, asked how the county should respond to a shortage of Class A office space in the county. Gaskin said the office park philosophy is “a dying breed,” and said there are other options available. Hanover and other localities have explored options like business condominiums to provide office space for new or expanding companies. Gaskin said he anticipates availability of those type prop-
erties will increase as distribution, residential and manufacturing opportunities continue to expand. South Anna representative Wayne Hazzard said the good news regarding the county’s industrial base is encouraging. “I think our industrial base has been one of the best blessings that we could possibly have. It has served us well,” Hazzard said. “I think we have a good mix, but the key is our industrial base.” Gaskin agreed. “It’s a real differentiator … the fact that we make stuff here and have a long proud history of doing so is an increasingly rare thing.” Proof of the impact of that manufacturing can be found from the largest and most complex of products, to the smallest and simplest. “Fifty percent of the Hershey Kiss wrappers in the U.S. are made right here in Hanover County,” KellyWiecek pointed out.

The Officers of Elections serving on Election Day are your neighbors and keep in mind that Elections could not be held if it wasn’t for these citizens and students serving to maintain the integrity of the elections.� Smithson praised the assistance of the Officers of Election who volunteer in her office. “These devoted and dedicated patriots have logged 300 hours so far and will also serve the citizens on Election Day at the polls.

As the General Election approaches, the chair of the two major political parties in Hanover County were contacted for comment. Russ Wright, chair of the Hanover County Republican Party, said of the upcoming election: “Donald Trump has more interest from everyday Americans than any candidate I’ve ever seen. It’s clear that he cares not only about making America great again but also about strengthening the Republican Party so that it can be a guardian of America’s greatness. “I believe the American people have been waiting for those things and are tired of the lies and corruption coming

This election is like no other we’ve ever seen. “First let me unabashedly support the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton. Hillary has devoted her life to public service, first as a defender of children and families in poverty; then as a civil rights worker; as an advocate for health care for children (the CHIP program); working for the people of New York as a state senator; and lastly for all of us as Secretary of State. I admire her as a capable leader and as an inspiration to women. Is she perfect? No, she’s not. But her life has been under a microscope for 40 years ... not sure how the rest of us would look if our every move and word was under a microscope for 40 years. Certainly, we wouldn’t look perfect either. On the other hand, her opponent hasn’t even released his tax returns ... no microscope there. Meanwhile, she has endured investigations after investigations that proved to be nothing more than political witch hunts. Fact checkers and the public have judged Trump to be the least honest of the two. “�Trump is so divisive and destructive that he leaves us no room to consider anyone else for president other than Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately,
Trump destroyed the true, viable Republican candidates months ago. So now, we are forced to talk about the dangers of a Trump presidency rather than the positives about the candidate we support. “Trump is a man who wants to jail his opponent, oust judges he disagrees with, and suppress reporters and the press. He says he’s the only one who can fix what’s wrong with our country. That is the classic definition of a dictator. Worse yet, Trump praises the ruthless Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, audaciously and unpatriotically saying he’s better than our own president and he even invited Putin to illegally hack more emails (an invitation Putin seems to have accepted). These are unAmerican stands, and yet the Republican candidate for president proudly proclaims them every chance he gets. Please remember this guy Trump supports and admires so much, this former head of the KGB, is responsible for the invasion of Ukraine, the downing of a civilian plane resulting in the loss of life of every man, woman and child on board, the killing of reporters and his opponents, and the recreation of the Cold War. “We could talk about Trump’s disrespect for war hero John McCain. We could talk about him making fun of a disabled reporter. We could refer to his behavior and language toward women or his admission of sexual assault on the ‘Entertainment Hollywood’ video. We could talk about how he invites violence against those he disagrees with and panders to white nationalists, how he

led the phony birther movement against President Obama to try to discredit him. These are all disgraceful, should disqualify anyone seeking the highest office in the land. “But I am more concerned about the threat he poses to the structure of our nation. Right now, he’s talking about our ‘rigged’ voting system. Our election system is not rigged. It’s fair and square. I have seen our county registrar in action; I have witnessed Republicans and Democrats working together through her office to make sure our elections are as accurate as humanly possible; I have worked with the poll workers who stand outside tirelessly making sure the system is working and helping answer voters’ questions. Losing faith in our election process undermines the underpinnings of our democracy. If Americans lose faith in the process, then we stop supporting the process ... we stop supporting our democracy. This is what’s so scary about Donald Trump. It’s the division, the destruction and mistrust he sows. “On Nov. 8, we have to decide what’s best for us and what’s best for the big U.S. I believe it’s Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine, and Matt Rowe for Congress. Please don’t let anything stop you from going to the polls. And remember, vote like our democracy depends on it, because it does. Really, this time, it does.�

It’s your right and privilege: Get out and vote
Argument against town’s high-speed rail proposal
By Melody Kinser Managing Editor This time next week it will all be over — and here’s one voter who is ready for the results so we can move on with uniting for the greater good, as in the future of our country. Whether or not we agree on any candidate is not the issue here. What cannot be stated enough is the importance of going to the polls and voting your conscience. It’s not always about party affiliation. It’s about who you consider the best candidate for the office. We’ve heard countless promises in this election cycle, so it will be interesting to see how many come to fruition. You can’t just wave a magic wand and jobs are created and the economy is improved.
We have to come together as one and put aside the nasty, ugly and sometimes violent behavior that we witnessed prior to the General Election of November 2016. This election has been a nightmare scenario on so many levels. But we must move past that. Our country is divided, which only increases our vulnerability around the globe. The only position I will emphasize is that the wealthy should pay their fair share of taxes. Those who may live payday to payday do so. When Jay Rockefeller was still serving in the United States Senate, he went on record as saying he was more than ready to pay more taxes because of his financial status. He challenged his colleagues to support such action. Despite his noble efforts, the wealthy still don’t pay up as they should.
So let’s look at the two candidates for president: Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump. Clinton seems to face a daily barrage of questions — and leaked emails — about her time as Secretary of State. Trump has been knocked down like Bill Cosby with multiple accusations of inappropriate behavior with women. Benghazi. Not paying taxes for nearly 20 years. The scandals continue to plague both candidates. Some say it’s a situation of voting for the lesser of two evils. Whoever your preference may be, the bottom line is you need to go to the polls. Every vote really does count. We do not endorse candidates for election, but we strongly encourage all registered voters to make the effort on Tuesday to cast their ballots. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Conservative talk radio adds different perspective to election By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News To any of you who have recently found yourselves up just a little too late, staring at a Facebook page, wishing that a meteor would hit the author of some election-related post you vehemently disagree with — I feel your pain. I’ve been there. And yet I’ve also tried, during this most corrosive and disheartening of campaign seasons, to figure out just
how we got here. So, in a sincere effort to reach across the ideological aisle, I recently decided to immerse myself in the one medium that would offer immediate, unfettered access to people who were likely to view this election somewhat differently than I do. I decided, dear readers, to start listening to conservative talk radio. Over the course of several weeks, I listened as often as I could, usually

when I was in the car and could do so without much interruption. I’m happy to report that, by the end of the experiment, I had been both entertained and also moved to at least examine my own positions more closely. Also, as if by magic, I was able to have more thoughtful conversations with people of ideological stripes far different than mine. And while I couldn’t help but notice that talk radio hosts seem to become more and more
“unshackled” — that’s the word we’re going with these days, right?— the later the hour, I also developed an honest-to-God appreciation for their passion and conviction. I even got used to the yelling. In fact, just about the only thing I really didn’t enjoy was the fact that the one overarching theme of many of the programs — and the commercials —could be boiled down to just two see ELECTION, pg. 7

As a lifelong Ashland resident, I’ve kept my ear to the ground for news about the high-speed rail. On principle, I think the proposal is poor. I’m glad to hear that many members of our community share that opinion. Those in opposition should do everything within their rights to fight it. If the proposed high-speed rail is built, it will disrespect some of Hanover County’s cultural and historical value, and many private landowners will be forced to sell property to make way for the track. This is deeply troubling. To put these facts into the context of American history is to discern a trend of disrespect for private property and freedom in our world today. I am writing to express my discontent with this trend, and to discuss its political and cultural ramifications. I’ve heard the arguments articulated by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation. I think we can all agree that they are well publicized and well researched. According to the DRPT’s Purpose and Need Statement (which can be found under the Resources tab of dc2rvarail. com), the purpose of the proposed high-speed rail is to accommodate population and economic growth; ease congestion on the roads and in the airports; and promote air quality, safety, and energy efficiency. Essentially, they work to do the most good for the most people. Their argument is predicated on our behavior. They understand the patterns of our consumption, and can thus predict future needs based in statistical evidence. This is not illogical; the cart must follow the horse. Unfortunately, the DRPT’s arguments up to this point have made much more sense than our rebuttals. It see LETTERS, pg. 7

is time for us to adopt a more principled argument against the rail. Until we do, the DRPT wins every time. I think we haven’t clearly discerned the ideological conversation behind the rail proposal. For the last year, I have listened to us scramble to defend ourselves against something we don’t exactly understand. Meanwhile, I’ve watched the rail proposal grow in inevitability. This suggests that our ignorance has not been a helpful defense against the DRPT’s argument. Beyond that, I think we have long forsaken the values that could have prevented this railway from being a practical solution in our growing world. First of all, I’m disappointed that we are making such hopeless judgments about the character of our government officials. Even some of our most articulate neighbors are stooping to mindless rhetoric about the “Washington power brokers.� It’s easy to attack the character of those with whom we disagree. Doing so is an attempt to justify our opinion, but this sort of talk always disregards truth. Instead, we should try hope. We could use language that challenges our opponents without belittling them. As Wendell Berry suggests, we could “denounce the government and embrace the flag,�

very short sentences: Be afraid. Be very afraid. Over and over again, I noted a focus on stoking fears and penchant for forecasting mayhem. Call me crazy, but I’m skeptical when someone is being
and “hope to live in that free republic for which it stands.� I hope that our government is filled with people who want to do good work. Perhaps only a few are competent, but a great many more are thoughtful, loving people. That’s why I can’t blame them for articulating their argument in favor of the high speed rail. But if the DRPT’s argument makes sense, why don’t we agree with it? Even though their argument is logical in that it presents evidence leading to a clear conclusion, the argument’s premises are corrupt. They are too narrow: They deal only in the present and the future, not the past. America used to stand for values that the proposed rail stands against. Among these values are freedom, reverence for private property, and respect for cultural and historical resources. The argument for the rail cannot be reconciled with these values; to stand for them is to stand against the rail. The trouble is that these values are hard to live by, especially today. Most of us have forsaken them for ready-made values bought and sold in the moral equivalent of big box stores all over the country. This is the second and most dubious force behind the rail proposal, and we are its authors. Our only hope is to readopt principles centered in the value of freedom. The freedom I’m speaking of is the one beloved by political philosophers like John
Lock and Lord Acton. It is the liberty Patrick Henry referred to in his famous exclamation. To use F.A. Hayek’s words, it is the “freedom from the arbitrary power of other men.� The freedom at stake is our freedom from coercion by unprincipled power, whether that power is exercised by our fellow citizens or our government. In America today, both are to blame. Both the people and government have forgotten their principles of freedom, and have left individual liberty, personal property, and cultural and historical values vulnerable to destruction. Right now we stand at the threshold of a massive infrastructure expansion in the form of a high-speed rail, and, surely I tell you, we brought it here on a red carpet. It is the logical result of our dependence on the national economy. We have bloated the national economy into an arbitrary, coercive power, and are now seeing that power exercised by the DRPT. Our ignorance of cause and effect is the biggest threat to freedom in Hanover County today. The vast majority of products we consume are imported – even most of the food we eat. Most of us, especially young people, have never known any different. To some degree, interstate commerce is a perfectly normal and healthy institution. Most small communities cannot satisfy all the needs and wants of their residents, so
paid handsomely to scare me. If a man is deadset on convincing me it’s going to rain, I like to know he isn’t an umbrella salesman. Once this election is over, no matter who wins, my hope is that we will all find a way to slowly climb out of our respective foxholes and examine our preconceived notions about
one another. Because sooner or later, if we don’t learn to work together, we are simply going to repeat this brutal cycle every election season. And the only real winner is going to be the guy selling umbrellas. Roslyn Ryan is editor of The Goochland Gazette.
they import what they cannot produce. This is possible only by the development of infrastructure. We can only ship or commute inasmuch as our roads and rails are developed. But incrementally we have lost respect for the costs of importing goods. We love that we can consume imported bananas all year long, or buy imported automobiles and clothing at competitive prices, but we balk at the thought of making sacrifices to develop the infrastructure that makes consuming these goods possible. This is a massive departure from reason. We want to eat our cake and have it too. We can’t depend on imported goods without expecting to develop and maintain the infrastructure that transports them. Economic dependence is a sort of voluntary despotism. We have chosen to participate
in the process limiting our freedom and destroying values. I’m ashamed of our ignorant choices in the marketplace. We are caught in a trap of deciding which cultural resource we would like to disrespect: a historic downtown or the surrounding fields and forests; all because we overexerted our pretentious economic ability to import goods and commute to work. It breaks my heart that we refuse to see cause and effect, and then attack the character of those in power working to accommodate us. We need to reduce our dependence on the national economy. Only this can curb its power over us. If we reduce our consumption of imported products, we reduce the need to expand the freight system. If we live in the communities in which we work, we reduce the value of commuter
rail. You have heard it said, “Where your treasure is, your heart will be also.� If we want to protect Hanover County, we had better start by valuing it, and this is best done by participating in its local economy. A community is valued when its people produce goods that are sold and consumed there. We have forgotten that this is the moral basis for shopping local. What is happening here is not unique. According to the Weldon Cooper Center, Virginia’s population is expected to grow 37 percent in the next 30 years. Our world is groaning with growth. If we don’t change our behavior, you can bet more expansions in infrastructure will be necessary. Our government can only try and be sensible, even in the face of see LETTERS, pg. 9

unreasonable behavior. It may be too late to prevent high-speed rail in Hanover County, and that is fundamentally our fault and our loss. We asked for it, but we didn’t know it. When we refuse to see cause and effect, we allow the world to change in ways we don’t understand and are hopeless to fight. Our only hope is to learn to behave in a way that prevents future restrictions of freedom, destruction of cultural and historical value, and disrespect for personal property. On principle, I am against the proposed rail because I love freedom. I love my ability to consume that which I and my neighbors produce, to work in a small town and live on my personal property. When we produce and consume local commodities, we take responsibility for our actions, our places, and our property. Responsibility is the only hope for love. Our country has known this before. I have a holy vision of returning to this truth. As T.S. Eliot suggests, “the way forward is the way back.” We could rebuild a land in which we care for our neighbors, not just vaguely, but as close members of our economy and livelihood. We could rebuild a valuable place with our love and our work. The blessings of liberty are in our hands. It is our responsibility to love them while we live, and to preserve them for our posterity.

Reminded that there Is a God It’s wonderful to see your question and comments in
God needs to return to schools Yes, I do believe God needs to come back into the schools, as well as the Pledge of Allegiance to America. All this politically correct stuff is getting too far out of hand. This country needs to go back to the basics. And, yes, parents need to do more discipline at home. In school they need to teach between child abuse and not child abuse for discipline reasons. God bless America. David Terry Mechanicsville
Discipline necessary for schools The imposition of discipline on students by the school administration and the Hanover County School Board is necessary for the operation of schools. I would never support,
however, imposing your god or my god or someone else’s god on students. Whose god would you suggest imposing? Muslims? American Indians? Jews? Christians? Buddhists? Hindus? Your editorial was stimulating. Thank you. Kim Sydnor Mechanicsville
God and discipline should return
daughter’s high school, singing songs with God/Jesus in them. But, no child should be forced to pray or participate in religious activities, nor should they be penalized for not participating. As for discipline, I don’t think spanking a child at school is going to cure behavior problems today. Punishments, definitely yes! Suspensions from extracurricular activities and inschool suspensions could be sufficient. Kids love out of school suspensions because it’s a holiday for them. Keep them in school

No child should be forced to pray

If they’ve done something serious enough to be suspended out of school, then they should be sent to a place like a juvenile detention facility for so many days. Maybe even Virginia Treatment Center for Children (VTCC), because maybe it’s a medical problem causing their behavior. Whatever policy that would be set up would have to be fair across-the-board and the punishment needs to fit the crime. Teresa West Ashland

that how we live as a society could affect the whole world. But it has, and it is, and it will continue to do so. We have to choose to do the big and small things to reverse the damage we’ve done. We must own it, listen to the scientists, and make definitive lifestyle changes. It is sad and frustrating to hear people denying issues of the environment. How can people ignore the more frequent and more violent storms? There are more frequent record high temperatures and longer droughts. The world is rapidly losing rain forests, swamp land, prairies, polar ice caps, glaciers, and wilderness. It’s time to reverse the short-sighted profit for long-term sustainability. We must elect people who really desire to work for what’s best for the environment because that is what is best for all of us. The United States should be leading the world in renewable energy. Renewable energy can fuel our economy. Switching to a plant-based diet improves our health and the environment. These and other wise environmental choices aid everyone, yet it’s the top 1% whose decisions are based on greed without regard to the environment that are controlling key environmental decisions. Let’s keep the wild places wild, the open spaces wide, the forests tall and green, and the water pure and clear. Let’s maintain the places that stir our souls and explore new wonders yet to be
revealed. When doctors told me my daughter only had two to five years to live, it gave me a focus on what’s important and a feeling of deep desperation anyone in that situation feels. It’s the same feeling I have about the environment: We can’t lose this fight! To me, there are two types of candidates. Those like Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders who recognize our enormous problems and want to work together with people to solve them. And those like Donald Trump and others who deny climate change and want to scale back the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) regulations. When I think of the environmental damage that Donald Trump could do in four years, it makes we want to scream! But then I breath slowly and remember that I have a voice and I have a choice. It’s Hillary Clinton all the way! Rita Dowling Mechanicsville

been disappointed in the way the Republican House Majoirty in the U.S. Congress has not even tried to block President Barack Obama in his eight years in office. He has been given a pass on everything he has wanted to do.” Wow. Just . . . wow. This assertion of Hall’s is so fringe or delusional that it escapes adequate description. The BSC Party (initials refer to guano and insanity using unprintable terms), now called the “Republican” Party, has done nothing for America, but, instead, has only obstructed everything put before the House and Senate. Hall is either completely out of touch with political and governmental reality, or wishes others to be so. Her letter cannot go unchallenged. Is she unaware of the Caucus Room Conspiracy? Does she define that as normal government behavior? She probably has “collector plates” glorifying Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and other media traitors to this nation. Not that I’m bitter. Now she wants this Media Thing — this tax-dodging, draft-dodging, anatomy-grabbing billionaire, who has the mind and vocabulary of a fifth grader, to be our Commanderin-Chief.

the facts listed below, research them, and file them in your mental database for future reference for future use when evaluating how truths are half recounted when others are forcing their views on you. There is a very old saying, “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”. I think this to be wise counsel to someone who has “drunk the Kool-Aid” and apparently went back for seconds. Her one-sided and totally unbalanced view is the perfect definition of “highly educated,” which is code for indoctrinated (learning only what others want you to know). Be careful watching the “News”.
These shows broadcast opinions. How many “Anchors” list facts that are in opposition to their views? Get to know facts that are “outside the box” and make up your own mind. This is the epitome of “well educated”. Some of us “old dinosaurs” call this going to the college of hard knocks (or reality). Ms. Radler seems to think that she is the moral compass for the people of Hanover. Let me recount some facts that are part and parcel to her views: First to what some in the Media have called “American Royal Family” — the Kennedys: Papa Joe — he got rich being an illegal rum runner
during Prohibition. Teddy — ran off a bridge killing Mary Jo Kopechne, leaving her body in the water while he walked home that night and waited until the next day to turn himself over to the police. To his brothers — Jack and Bobby — both were tripping over each other to have their way with Marilyn Monroe. “Slick Willy”: 1. “I did not have sex with that woman”. What was the stain on her blue dress? 2. Also, how about all the other women —- one which received a cash settlement! I feel most confident that the good Christian citizens of
Hanover do not subscribe to her moral compass nor do they condone adultery. Yes, that’s what her guys did! Oh, I forgot that the Democrats don’t want religion and that they mock Catholics. Finally — Hillary, herself: 1. She has to be either very stupid or a thief. When she and her husband left the white house they took items that did not belong to them and subsequently they were forced to return those items. If she defends her taking White House property by saying that she didn’t know then she is forgetting the instructions all elected officials receive. I, for one, do not think that she is
that stupid. 2. Based upon a recent TV ad, one could add a new adjective to her name — “Hillary the Hypocrite”. The ad condemns the Trump sons for shooting animals, while on safari. Let me understand this . . . the Democrats have problems killing animals (which might be “farm raised” thus saving the “wild animals” while satisfying the sport purpose) yet they have no problem killing babies! In closing, I acknowledge that I am a committee of one, a petition of one and one whose rantings are going unchallenged. William E. Bonesteel Sr. Mechanicsville

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — Balducci Builders Inc. has provided the metro Richmond area with custom built homes for over 30 years. Balducci Builders Inc. will be developing a 49-home subdivision, Gardenbrook, located in the heart of Mechanicsville off of U.S. 360. They have just completed the footings on their model home and have two speculation homes in the works. Residents of the subdivision will enjoy the close proximities to restaurants, doctors, shopping, and grocery stores in addition to enjoying a fullycustomized home. The property was originally purchased in 2007. When the economy took a downturn, the owners of Balducci Builders Inc. — brothers Chris and Dennis — made the decision to postpone the development until the economy was more stable. The new subdivision, Gardenbrook, will be Balducci Builders Inc.’s 15th neighborhood in 30 years of business. When asked what sets their new subdivision apart from their past projects, Rick Balducci, owner and realtor of Balducci Realty, said, “This is probably our best located subdivision because it is on the outskirts of Mechanicsville and minutes from the interstate, shopping, doctors, and other amenities.” Gardenbook will incorporate traditional and craftsman style homes with prices starting in the $300,000s. The neighborhood is to include sidewalks, a playground, and a private pond.

The Balducci brothers — from left, Chris, Rick and Dennis are shown at the site of their latest subdivision, Gardenbrook. It is a project of Balducci Brothers Inc., which is operated by Chris and Dennis. Rick is owner and realtor of Balducci Realty. Construction has started on a model home.
Balducci Builders Inc.’s new neighborhood will offer all new floor plans with the option to fully customize home finishing and selections. Customers also will be able to fully customize their floor plan. The uniqueness of Balducci Builders Inc. is that everything is done in-house — from realtors, builders, remodelers, and electrical. They can help you sell your home while building your
very own in Gardenbrook, or they can build on your lot. Additionally, the Balducci brothers have made it their mission in 2016 and onward to give back to those affected by cancer after losing their mother to lung cancer numerous years ago. They plan to utilize their new subdivision as a tactic to give back to Massey Cancer Center and the Children’s Hospital Foundation. Co-owner Chris Balducci said, “Unfortunately,
almost everyone’s lives have been touched by cancer in an adverse way, I find it to be my mission to help the cause in any way I can to find the cure.” They expect a grand opening celebration for their model home to take place in Spring 2017. To find out about more information about Gardenbrook and its available lots and amenities, call Rick Balducci at 804-730-0034. see BALDUCCI, pg. 26

C HA R L O T T E S V I L L E — Each autumn, the threat of wildfire increases as leaves dry out and fall from trees, grasses turn brown, humidity levels drop and winds increase. These conditions create an abundant source of fuel for wildfires, which can spread rapidly, increasing the chances of injury and property damage. “Weather conditions — wind, humidity and rainfall — directly influence wildfires,” said Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF) Director of Emergency Response John Miller. “Although parts of the state received significant precipitation from Hurricane Matthew last weekend, the far Southwest remains dry, increasing the opportunity for fires in that area.” With more than 62 percent of Virginia’s land base (15.9 million acres) being forested, there are almost 360,000 homes and more than 1 million Virginians living in areas defined as woodland communities. “That’s a lot of lives and property at risk due to wildfire,” Miller said. On average, nearly 1,000 wildfires occur in Virginia each year, burning a total of more than 11,000 acres. More than 95 percent of these fires result from human activity. Of the nearly 150,000 wildfires fought by VDOF since 1916, most were caused by people burning trash or yard debris. State Forester Bettina Ring said, “Whenever possible, practicing alternative debris-

disposal, like composting or mulching, can help reduce the chances of accidentally starting a wildfire. But if those are not options and burning is necessary, being mindful of weather conditions and taking simple precautions can make all the difference in keeping people and their property safe.” Precautions include: Clearing the burn spot and surrounding area down to mineral soil. Keeping the burn pile small. Having tools like a shovel or a rake on hand. Ensuring a charged water hose or other water source is at the ready. Having a working cell phone with you so that you can call 911 immediately if the fire escapes your control. Do not leave the fire unattended and make sure it is totally extinguished before leaving. “It’s vital that people check the weather conditions in their
area before starting to burn,” said Ring. “If it’s been several days since it’s rained, humidity levels are low and the winds are higher than 10 miles per hour, wait until conditions improve; otherwise, it’s quite likely your fire will become a wildfire.” ——The Virginia Department of Forestry protects and develops healthy, sustainable forest resources for Virginians. Headquartered in Charlottesville, the Agency has forestry staff members assigned to every county to provide citizen service and public safety protection across the Commonwealth, which it’s been doing now for more than 100 years. VDOF is an equal opportunity provider. With 16 million acres of forestland and more than 103,000 Virginians employed in forestry, forest products and related industries, Virginia forests provide an overall economic output of more than $17 billion annually.
This event is for Hanover County residents only (identification required). No businesses will be permitted. No out-of-county materials will be accepted.

Stop Hunger Now Packaging Event to be4 held Saturday at Lee-Davis Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — A quarter and four pennies is all you need to sustain a young child through the next three hours of his or her education. A quarter and four pennies will offer a healthy breakfast or lunch so that the child can concentrate on the lessons being taught. A quarter and four pennies
represents one of the founding ideas for Stop Hunger Now, a nonprofit organization founded in 1998, which links heathy nutrition and education as the best way to break the cycle of poverty. Since its founding, Stop Hunger Now has collected enough quarters and pennies to provide over 225 million meals in 74 counties. If each meal nourishes three hours of a child’s education, then Stop
Hunger Now is responsible for 675 million hours. Volunteers gather to assemble the nutrients into food packets that can be safely stored and distributed throughout the world. These gatherings are called packaging events. There is a local packaging event scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 5, at Lee-Davis High School in see HUNGER, pg. 26

L-D beats Henrico in last-minute shocker By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE -His offense had languished all night, so Lee-Davis coach Ryan Turnage approached sophomore receiver Josh Rice and told him to take off his glove. The Confederates were about to run X Jet Pass. That’s the trick play where Rice takes the handoff, runs right and then throws. It’s rarely successful in practice. But on Friday night, the stars aligned. Lee-Davis ran it to perfection and scored a dramatic touchdown. Then it scored another, erasing a big Henrico lead and stealing a 24-23 victory Friday. Henrico’s defense had stifled Lee-Davis’ offense and led 20-9 in the fourth quarter. So when Lee-Davis (7-2) got the ball on its own 47, Turnage called for the trick play. Rice made sure to sell the fake hard. He kept the ball in his gut until he saw the cornerback come off his intended receiver, Nate Evans. When Evans cleared some space, Rice slinged it sidearm and hit Evans in the chest. Evans caught it, turned and sprinted up the sideline for a 53-yard touchdown. “It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life,” Rice said. “The crowd was going wild.” But Lee-Davis still trailed
point gave Lee-Davis a 24-23 lead with 2:26 to go. Henrico attempted a comeback, but it ended when Jones threw an interception to Ned Anthony. Evans scored all three touchdowns for Lee-Davis. He carried 24 times for 147 yards and caught three passes for 113. Most of the night, the Confederates’ offense was anemic. “Everyone knows, their defense is one of the best Nick Liberante for The Local around,” Evans said. “They Above, Lee-Davis’ Nathan Evans runs up the middle as Henrico’s Lawrence Chambers yanks at his jersey in the Confederates’ scrap and get to the ball.” 24-23 victory over the visiting Warriors Friday night.

Raiders stun Varina with comeback victory By Andrew Spencer for the Mechanicsville Local VARINA – Many people wouldn’t want a freshman quarterback attempting to lead a comeback with an 18-point deficit. But many people don’t have Atlee quarterback Tyler Warren. Late in the second quarter of the Raiders’ visit to Varina, Warren hit Clifton Woody on a perfectly-timed screen pass that went for 40 yards and an Atlee touchdown. That play started the Raiders on a 21-point scoring run en route to a 24-21 victory over the host Blue Devils on Friday night. “I keep telling the kids that there are highs and lows throughout the season, and there are highs and lows throughout a single game,” said Atlee head coach Matt Gray. “Our goal is be consistent throughout.” While the Raiders didn’t play a consistent four quarters, they turned on the quality when they needed it. “We did play lights-out on defense in the second half,” Gray said. “And we played pretty well on offense, too. Plus, we moved

Atlee’s Tyler Warren gets a lot of time in the pocket to find an open receiver down the sideline in the Raiders’ 24-21 win Friday.
the ball on special teams.” Despite dominating the first half, Varina fell victim to some unfortunate errors. The Blue Devils took the opening kickoff and marched 70 yards down the field behind
a punishing running game. But on third-and-goal from the Atlee 1-yard line, Varina’s Alton Coston ran into a crowd of Raiders, and the ball was stripped from his hands. An Atlee defender fell on the loose
ball. “We just didn’t play winning football. We missed out on some opportunities and they took advantage of that,” said Varina head coach Stu Brown. Even with those shortcom-
ings, the Blue Devils led 21-10 at halftime. But, as every coach knows all too well, a team has to play all four quarters to win. “When we went in at halftime, we knew what we had to do and what we had to stop,”
Gray said. “The kids were all about it. We just worked on getting our composure back and tried to settle everyone down.” Whatever Coach Gray told his team at intermission worked. Warren came out and, on the first drive of the third quarter, led the Raiders on a 42yard march that led to another touchdown – on a 15-yard pass to Will Stockhausen – and that injected new energy into the Atlee sideline. The defense came out on the next series and forced a Varina punt from deep in their own territory. Then, behind the thunderand-lightning rushing duo of Woody and Isaac Abel, the Raiders took their first lead of the game on a 33-yard Abel run with 3:38 left in the third quarter, 24-21. The score would hold. “They finished the game,” Brown said. “They finished it and we didn’t. Give Atlee and their players and coaches all the credit in the world. They played winning football tonight. They put up fourteen points in the see COMEBACK, pg. 30
Hanover, L-D ousted; PH, Atlee advance in playoffs By Billy Fellin Richmond Suburban News CHESTERFIELD – Led by two goals by three different players, Powhatan dispatched Hanover for the second season in a row in the Conference 20 field hockey semifinals at the River City Sportsplex on Oct. 24. While the season ended just one game into the playoffs for the Hawks, Hanover coach Sarah Rowe said that she was happy with how the team pro-
28
gressed throughout the season. “We improved a lot,” Rowe said. “We definitely came a long way from where we started. That’s all I can ask of them.” Hanover was in an early 1-0 hole after Powhatan’s Brie Burgio scored. In response to the goal, the Hawks were able to put some pressure on the vaunted Powhatan defense. Hanover did produce some shots on net, including one on the cage early in the first half that went wide, but Indians

goalkeeper Gatlin Snyder repelled all comers. After the offensive surge from the Hawks, the floodgates opened for the Indians. Burgio scored her second goal for Powhatan after a Hanover timeout, then Hannah Adams scored back-to-back goals and Danielle Bigham added a goal off a corner set piece just prior to the first half expiring. Bigham added her second goal to make it 6-0 and the game, and Hanover’s sea-
son, ended soon thereafter by slaughter rule. Rowe said that the team wasn’t expecting the six-goal deficit as the Hawks had played the Indians to a 2-1 final earlier in the season. “We weren’t expecting it, but it’s great for them,” she said. “It’s really good to go against teams that are better than us so we can continue to get better.” Hanover senior midfielder John Beebe for The Local Keri Kane, junior defender Hanover midfielder Keri Kane (blue) brings the ball downfield see OUSTED, pg. 29

By Jonathan Howard for the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – The mood surrounding Hanover’s final 2016 home game could not be more different from last year. In 2015 the Hawks had playoff positioning on the line. This season, Hanover is out of the playoff hunt and is playing only for pride. The Hawks didn’t let that opportunity slip on senior night, as Ben Mahone rushed for 194 yards and three touchdowns in a 45-8 Hanover victory over Armstrong. “It’s amazing to end with a win on my last home game and do it with my friends that I’ve been with so long now,” Mahone said. Mahone scored all three of his touchdowns in the first quarter, with the first two set up by the defense. On the game’s opening possession, Xavier Collins picked up a fumble and returned it to the Armstrong 23-yard line. Four plays later, Mahone found the end zone for his first score. On the next Wildcat possession, running back Marlin Osborne was stopped in the backfield on fourth down, giving the Hawks possession in positive territory. Mahone then anchored a seven-play drive that ended with a three-yard

score. He added a one-yard dive on his next opportunity for his third touchdown of the quarter. “Ben played great,” said Hanover head coach Derek Stoudt. “We challenged him a couple weeks ago to be the running back I knew he could be and he responded. I’m proud of that kid.” Stoudt said Mahone’s performance was indicative of his typical on-field habits. “He’s a competitor, he comes out and he grinds,” Stoudt said. “For him to have a performance like that on senior night is awesome and I’m real happy for him.”
Quarterback Tyler Elrod and kicker John Dustin, both sophomores, rounded out the first-half scoring for Hanover (2-7). Elrod rounded out a nineplay drive with a 1-yard run for a score with just over two minutes remaining in the second quarter. When Jacob Bazala sacked Armstrong quarterback Jacqueal Thomas on fourth down deep in Armstrong territory, the Hawks had another chance to score. The home team moved the ball to the 10-yard line where Dustin punched through a field goal as time ran out on the half.
In the second half, two more seniors made their way into the scoring column for Hanover. In the third quarter, Elrod connected with Jacob Schneider for a 25-yard scoring pass. In the fourth quarter, Kirkland Shaffner scored on a one-yard run to round out the Hawks’ scoring. Thomas scored on a 42-yard run for Armstrong to round out the scoring. He provided 56 total yards for the Wildcats (0-9). On defense, underclassmen Marc Brooks and Eric Mclemore provided interceptions for Hanover. Their effort, paired with that of the offensive

Hawk runners advance to region championships By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor CHESTERFIELD – Midlothian may have dominated the field, but the Hawks stayed hard on their heels to earn the right to run another week after the Conference 20 track and field championships at Pocahontas State Park Thursday. The Trojans’ boys and girls teams easily outscored all others, earning nearly perfect scores to win the conference team championships with 18 and 21 points, respectively. The Hawks’ teams had nearly identical scores to claim second place: 56 points in the boys championship and 58 in the girls. In the boys race, Powhatan came in third and Dinwiddie fourth in the boys race. In the girls race, Monacan was third and Powhatan fourth. The top four teams from each race advance to the Region 4A East championships at Loriella Park in Fredericksburg Thursday. Rachel Crytser was Hanover’s highest finisher, coming in second in 19:46 after overtaking a an uphill scramble to catch up at the last hill – that one’s kind “I kind of made up a bunch of pair of Midlothian runners in to them. of long – and I think I’m pretty ground on the first girl I passed the final quarter mile, but was “I tried making my move strong on hills,” Crytser said. there.”

second half and shut us out.” Gray, for his part, didn’t want to attach too much emotional importance to this game. “We’re excited about this win, but we’re more interested in being consistent. I don’t know if one game gives you any more momentum than any other game. We just need to stay consistent and keep playing the way we know we can,” he said. “We keep talking to these guys about character. And I think you saw that here tonight.”

On the Varina sideline, the frustration arising from watching his team go scoreless in the second half was apparent on Coach Brown’s face. “We’re going to try to put this behind us,” he said, “and we’ll hopefully learn from it. We’ll pick up and move on.” Late in the fourth quarter, the Atlee special teams stepped up to block a 32-yard field goal attempt that would have tied the game. The Raiders took over with 2:14 left, clinging to a threepoint lead. The Blue Devils forced a punt, and the stage was set for a miraculous Varina

Whitehouse wraps up All-State career in Girls Open By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor FAIRFAX – Atlee’s Erica Whitehouse and Monacan’s Addie Parker were friends before their high school golf careers began. The two friends got to spend the last day of their prep careers together, from the first hole to the 18th, on the course at International Country Club. They ended their high school golf careers in a hug on the 18th green, then they were both awarded excellent parting gifts: bits of metal in recognition of All State performances in the VHSL Girls Open at International Country Club Tuesday. “Walking off 17 I was like, ‘This is my last hole. I’ve got to make the best of it,’ ” Whitehouse said. “I was getting pretty emotional then, cleared it up, then on the last hole – on the green – I looked at Addie and we just lost it. … It’s hard to believe that it’s over.” Parker felt good playing her last round of high school golf with a good friend, but that it

“He motivates me throughout the whole, entire race,” Good said. “He’s a great runner to be with, to run with. … During workouts, and through races, everything – he’s a great motivator.” Davis said the motivation works both ways. “At practice, we’re pushing one another every single lap,” Davis said. “We’ve been learning by osmosis with one another. We really don’t have to talk when we run. We just look at each other at practice and we know what the other is thinking.”
was impossible not to feel the emotion. “It was kind of nice to finish up my last high school round with one of my best friends,” Parker said. “She was crying over her last tee shot and I was like, ‘Oh, she’s crying!’ I started crying over my last tee shot and was like, ‘This is not going to be good.’ ” Parker need not have worried. Whitehouse shot a 6-over par 78 on the second day of the tournament to finish with a two-day score of 158, one stroke behind winner Danielle Suh of Westfield. Parker carded an 80 on the wind-swept course Tuesday for a two-day score of 161 and a tie – with First Colonial’s Carley Rudolf – for fifth place. Jillian Drinkard of Appomattox and Amy Yang of Hidden Valley were tied for third with a two-day score of 160. The top six golfers earned All-State awards.

TAURUS • Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, pay extra attention to the people who really matter in your life, namely your friends and family members. Redirecting your attention will yield positive results. GEMINI • May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, nothing says work or business has to be dull. Make your workday experience more fun, and you may be more inclined to put more of yourself into your work.
CANCER • Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it can sometimes be beneficial to escape from the hectic pace of daily life and spend some time on your own, especially if it means recharging. Make the most of an upcoming respite. LEO • Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, the ride may prove bumpy for the next few days, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. Expect little time to yourself, but when you get a break, make the most of it.’ VIRGO • Aug 24/Sept 22 Most of your plans are going to go perfectly this week, Virgo. Enjoy this stroke of good luck because you have earned it. Invite some loved ones along for the ride.
LIBRA • Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, take a new approach to resolving a stalemate. If you give a little, you might end up getting a lot. Listen to the other person’s point of view more closely.
CAPRICORN • Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, embrace others for the people they are. Each person brings something different to the table, and embracing those differences can help create lasting friendships.
SCORPIO • Oct 24/Nov 22 Expect your endurance to be put to the test this week, Scorpio. If you can muster some additional energy, you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to.
AQUARIUS • Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, connecting with other people may become a bigger part of your job in the near future. Start polishing your social skills so you’ll be ready.
SAGITTARIUS • Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, wake up a few minutes earlier each day and give yourself extra time to enjoy the peace and quiet that early morning provides. You’ll start the day fresh.
PISCES • Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if a relationship has not been going as you had hoped, it may be time to take inventory and see what needs changing.
THIS WEEK’S ANSWERS
ARIES • Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you stand to make a strong impression this week. Others at work may see your abilities in a new light, and you could be treated differently from this point on.
