Davis began the meeting by offering two choices to address the pressing road funding issue. Either supervisors could provide a local funding mechanism for road construction, or county officials should start eliminating projects on Hanover’s road construction priority list.

be working well in larger parts of the state like Tidewater and Northern Virginia, the new rating system has resulted in a reduction of funds to counties like Hanover.

Hazzard said it’s important that constituents know their state tax dollars are being used to fund projects in other parts of the state, while funding key projects locally in less populated areas has fallen by the wayside.

The Committee recommended county administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. and

county attorney Sterling Rives contact fellow county officials throughout the state and encourage them to support restoration of state funding for local roads.

Those findings will be presented to the full board of supervisors for further consideration and action.

The motion also included wording that leaves in place a plan to install a vehicle fee as a sort of contingency plan if state legislators do not respond to pleas from localities.

Davis said it is important

that the public knows a backup plan that funds road projects with local funds and revenue sharing from the state is in place and ready to go.

The Virginia General Assembly’s last effort to fix Virginia’s road problem resulted in the 2013 Transportation Bill, an effort that produced revenues that fell far short of expectations and did little to bolster Virginia’s gasoline tax, the second lowest in the nation.

Director of Public Works Mike Flagg presented a detailed list of long-term road improvements and funding currently available through the year 2027.

He estimated that Hanover’s unmet needs for that period and those projects is about $54 million or $5.4 million per year.

The county’s current budget proposal allots about $.5 million for road improvements and projects from the General Fund. That allotment increases to about $1million in future years.

Through the Smart Scale program, $8.5 million worth of project funding was requested, but only $1 million was actually approved.

Future funding from the state seems, at best, perilous, and Flagg noted that one important project in Hanover, the completion of the U.S. 360 project, “rated poorly with no funding allocated.”

In addition, supervisors are

also facing a possible cut in TPO (Transportation Planning Organization) funding for the U.S. 360 project, a figure that could amount to a $10 million shortfall in that project’s funding.

Even a more reliable form of state funding, revenue sharing, was funded at $100 million, far short of the $212 million requested.

Committee member Canova Peterson, Mechanicsville District, and supervisor Scott Wyatt, Cold Harbor District, voiced a realization that decreased state funding is causing real problems for localities, but agreed with Hazzard that more pressure on legislators is needed before the vehicle fee option is exercised. Both agreed that having that plan in the quill is prudent.

“We need to know we have this as a fallback position if we do not get anything from the state,” Peterson said. “I feel it would be irresponsible for us to jump in here and put this tax on the citizens without having made a concerted effort to get the state to pay for their own roads.”

Letters will be sent to locality officials and the county’s legislative committee will begin the campaign with a meeting with the county’s legislative team in June.

Hazzard emphasized the importance of citizens in the process, and said residents should contact state legislators

Projects on the priority list included the widening of Pole Green and Atlee Roads, improvements that have some potential for funding.

But projects like Cool Spring Road, Patrick Henry Road, U.S. 54 and others have no identified source of funding at this time.

Board chair Angela KellyWiecek, Chickahominy District, also attended the meeting last week, and was not optimistic that more pressure would yield more transportation funding from the state.

“I’m concerned with just saying let’s get the citizens involved and petition our legislators,” she said. “It’s not like we can go and petition our legislators for more earmarked funds. That’s not how this is working.”

Wyatt said supervisors should be able to gauge the state’s response by fall of this year, and options could be reconsidered if the campaign does not yield results.

“We have done our due diligence on the part of the citizenry by preparing a plan for funding should the state not restore it,” Davis said. “We also are going to move forward with substantial vigor and zeal in trying to impress upon the state the need to restore this funding, and work on coalition building with other localities that have been affected.”

Serving was Moore’s commitment in life

| Reader Views

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Fairmount Christian Church in Mechanicsville was filled Feb. 16 as family, friends, fellow congregants and the brothers and sisters of Assistant Chief Henri G. Moore Jr. said their goodbyes to a man whose life was dedicated to service.

A deacon at the church, he was a humble servant to his Lord and Savior.

With Hanover Fire-EMS, he was a leader, a mentor, a friend, a brother. His death on Feb. 10 left a void in Chief Jethro Piland’s command.

This writer didn’t know Moore, but, since his passing, there have been conversations and emails sharing stories of a loyal member of the Mechanicsville community.

He did not, however, limit his Fire-EMS skills

to Hanover County. His talents were utilized by the Virginia Air National Guard and Henrico County Fire and EMS units.

Sadly, Moore lost what had been a brief battle with cancer. As the end of this life was coming to a close, he had the love and support of his family, his community and Fire-EMS. The latter is a family of its own and the brothers and sisters did all they could for Moore and his family.

He was so admired on a regional level that departments from Caroline, Henrico, Goochland, New Kent and Chesterfield counties assisted with the logistics involved in that Thursday morning Celebration of Life. En route to Washington Memorial Park in Sandston, departments organized the procession to, in the words of one of Moore’s friends, “show respect to someone who served in this community (as well as Henrico and

New Kent) for so many years.”

Moore left us too young, as he was only 47.

He is survived by is wife of 16 years, Wendy W. Moore; daughter, Madison Moore; son, Ryan Moore; sister, Tammy (Bill) McCarter; and his parents, Betty and Henri G. Moore Sr. Our condolences to the family and Fire-EMS. (Editor’s note: Photos on page 9.)

Back in the office . . .

Thanks for all the support from the Richmond Suburban News team and the Hanover County community following a Dec. 9 accident which left me with a broken right ankle. After two casts, yesterday was my first day back in the office. Today’s technology allowed me not to miss a single day.

Constituents speak out on delegate’s policies (Editor’s note: The following letter was addressed to Del. Hyland F. “Buddy” Fowler, R-55.)

Dear Delegate Fowler, The recent election results have motivated many of your constituents to become more engaged with the legislative process.

Three big issues that concern us are gerrymandering, women’s access to healthcare, and voting rights.

You have been actively working to preserve gerrymandering, to limit Virginia women’s access to healthcare, and to attack voting rights, especially of African-Americans.

We are very concerned about your anti-democratic, sexist, and racist policy-making.

But even when you disagree with your constituents on the importance of these issues, we expect you and your staff members to treat us with respect and to welcome our input.

We would think that you would strive to listen to and represent the needs of all your constituents, not just those who agree with you.

After all, an engaged and informed citizenry is necessary for a healthy democracy.

Instead, many of us have been subject to, at best, a lack of responsiveness to our queries, and, at worst, intimidation.

You and members of your staff have been rude and raised their voices to constituents who call or visit your office, have requested that some of us provide party affiliation, and have given out misinformation, such as that redistricting reform “is a federal matter,” “as the Constitution intended,” and “a dead issue” that we shouldn’t bother contacting you about. see LETTERS, pg. 8

from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium/ cafeteria of Cold Harbor Elementary School at 6740 Cold Harbor Rd. in Mechanicsville.

Citizens and other interested parties will have the opportunity to review the project materials which include the plans, schedule, right-of-way information, funding, and environmental documentation in the form of a Categorical Exclusion (CE).

tric on the streets of the most times sleepy resort town. As an army of students from across the country engulfed every motel and hotel in the town, the locals stood and marveled at the bridled debauchery.

Music blasted from motel balconies, and psychedelic lights reflected from overstuffed rooms filled with overzealous students.

As high school seniors, we somewhat observed the wildness from a distance. Truth be told, we had our moments, but again left after a week, tired, tanned, and amazed at what we had witnessed.

When high school ends, most friendships become lasting memories with brief interludes of reacquaintance. But the closeness often disappears with years of changing lives.

That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen with Scott, also well known by now as the Fish for his enormous attraction to anything gambling. From the time I knew him as a freshman in high school, Scott spent time at Triple Triangle, the local pool hall.

In the fall of 1970, Scott and I ended on the campus of Southwood College in Salemburg, North Carolina. It was your typical junior college campus compiled mostly of kids from up north where opportunities were limited for students not able to gain admittance to larger universities. It was a place where you went to college so you get into

college later.

And we made the transition or, more aptly put, culture shock, of life in Salemburg compared to our familiar haunts in Richmond quite nicely. We accomplished this by spending much of the week in neighboring Fayetteville, and when Friday arrived, we were on the road to Richmond.

That freshman year of college contained enough good stories to fill a book, or maybe a couple of volumes, and Scott was almost always at the center of our adventures.

I most remember the nights sitting around the dorm and debating about who could beat who in tennis. More times than not, the dispute ended in a caravan of cars heading to the Roseboro Country Club and the only two lighted tennis courts in the county.

It was usually well after midnight when we arrived, and the club was deserted. Being the decent and trusting individuals they were, the owners of the club didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lock the box that controlled the lights on the court. Why would they think that a crowd of mostly Yankees would invade their club in the dark of night and stage tennis matches with gambling involved?

And Scott, not to my surprise, never disappointed. First appearance did not divulge his athletic prowess, but, in reality, Scott was a talented athlete, proficient in most anything he pursued that involved hand-

see HEARING, pg. 15

eye coordination.

Once the year was over, Scott and I lost touch with each other, and, over the years, we only passed briefly as he pursued different restaurant and club ventures, moved away, married and had a family and finally returned to Richmond and opened a deli in the far West End. A year ago, I stood outside Boychikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deli waiting for a friend to arrive, when the door swung open and Scott walked out. We immediately made eye contact and it was if those many years disappeared, and we were back in that Camaro headed for Spring Break or on that tennis court in Roseboro.

We spent some minutes catching up but he was on his way to the doctor and I was having lunch with a friend, so we exchanged a hug and briefly talked. He shared his latest challenges and diagnosis and I offered my words of encouragement. As it turned out, it was our last meeting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the final episode in a life of shared experiences that spanned five decades, a slew of friends, a few heartbreaks and lots of laughs.

My friend lost his battle with cancer last year, and a powerful, witty, thoughtful and kind man was silenced but will exist and live in the memories and the minds of his beloved family and the friends who are left to mourn â&#x20AC;Ś and miss him.

Remembering Assistant Fire Chief Henri G. Moore Jr.

Hanover Fire-EMS Battalion Chief Jason Williams shared these photos of a man who he described as “my dear friend Henri.” Assistant Chief Henri G. Moore Jr., 47, passed away on February 10, 2017.

As Williams said, “Our department is overwhelmingly sad and taking it day by day.” Moore, a deacon at Fairmount Christian Church in Mechanicsville, was laid to rest on February 16, 2017. The church was standing room only as Fire-EMS units from throughout the region joined their brothers and sisters in Hanover in paying tribute to one of their own. His legacy will live on through the lives he touched and those he taught a profession that meant so much to him.

Godspeed, Henri G. Moore Jr. The Mechanicsville Local

ROBERT KIZER SR. Robert James Kizer Sr., 91, of Mechanicsville moved on to the eternal on February 9, 2017, to join his beloved wife, Mary, who had passed away in 2014. Born and raised in Duryea, Pennsylvania, the second of two sons of Edward D. Kizer and Agnes Motiska Kizer, Bob was drafted into the Army Air Forces in June of 1945.

He was trained as a control KIZER tower Air Traffic Controller and assigned to duty at Argentia Air Base in Newfoundland, Canada. Bob served in the 766th AAF Base Unit, 66th AACS Group (Air and Airways Communications Systems). Mustered out of service in 1947 as a Staff Sergeant, Bob graduated from Fordham University in 1949, married Mary Barbush in November of that year, and proceeded to create a career in sales and marketing. His desire to get into some aspect of the television industry led him to join the ranks of Avery-Knodel TV/Radio Sales Representatives in 1956 as a junior sales rep. Based in New York City, his career grew with the company, finally culminating in his becoming president of the firm in the late 1960s.

His business travels took him to all 50 states, resulting in his being on the road a quarter of every year. After AveryKnodel was bought out in 1985, Bob became president at MMT Marketing, and then served as a consultant at the Adam-Young firm until his retirement in 1992. Bob was active in the Boy Scouts of America, the Knights of Columbus, and the American Red Cross. He enjoyed walks, hikes, fishing and camping.

He particularly enjoyed the annual fishing trips with his business partners, most often in Canada. The growing physical frailty of his later years forced him to give up his activities, but he greatly missed them. Bob and Mary started out their life together residing in Queens, New York City, but soon moved to New Jersey. They had five boys, and little peace and quiet. After Bob retired, they moved first to Georgia, and then to Mechanicsville, where they could be near one of their sons. Bob loved to tell stories, sing songs, and see the world. Whenever he came to visit, within minutes he’d ask, “Where should we go?” He was always eager to do things, to see things, to experience things. His warmth and generous spirit will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his son, Robert Jr. (and wife, Joanne D’Antonio, and son, Christopher), his sons, John and Edward; his son, Richard (and wife, Penny) and his son, William.

He was predeceased by his older brother, Walter Kizer (and wife, Frieda). Bob, along with his wife, Mary, will be inurned at Arlington National Cemetery, and a memorial service will be announced at a future date.

Supervisors OK CUP request for solar panels on historic land

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More than a century and a half ago, Edmund Ruffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbors made him the target of ridicule for his tireless efforts to revitalize distressed soil.

The fields at Newcastle Farm on Broaddus Flats were Ruffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal laboratories, and his years of research innovated the agricultural field earning Ruffin the title of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father of soil chemistry.

Last week, Ruffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s descendants gained approval for another innovative use for their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm in eastern Hanover: a 220-acre 20 megawatt solar farm that utilizes the latest technology to capture energy from the sun.

In a unanimous vote, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors approved a Conditional Use Permit that allows the construction of solar panels on the property that

has the potential to produce enough electricity to power 5,000 homes.

Sun Energy of North Carolina plans to lease the historic property, about half of Newcastleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acreage, for a period of 30 years. When the contract ends, it can be renewed or the land can be returned to its original unblemished state in a matter of months.

Power generated at the Hanover plant will be sold to Dominion Power and transferred to its main power grid that serves the area.

At least one neighbor thinks the new land use doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit well with the area, and urged supervisors to look before they leaped regarding solar farms.

Samuel Wise said solar energy is economically viable today due to tax credits and other incentives that attract investors to the new technology.

Rules that require Dominion to purchase the

generated power at certain rates and other protections enjoyed by the industry could be lost at any time, according to Wise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely that this can continue for very long.

And, once this taxpayer largeness ends, will it end the era of solar farms?â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You and your schools in this community are paying the bill.â&#x20AC;?

Another opposing speaker said an industry that once appeared promising is currently under more scrutiny, forcing some operations to shut down.

Jane Ruffin also lives near the proposed solar facility, and said other farmers in the area had been approached to make the same deal, but opted to keep the land in agricultural use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What if all farmers decided to go on this program? Why are we putting our farmland into solar farm use?â&#x20AC;? Ruffin

questioned.

Warren Rice pointed out the 200 to 300 jobs associated with the project are only construction positions needed during the initial build.

The operation requires little maintenance, and crews visit about four times a year to inspect and maintain equipment and cut grass around the area. A fence located 150 feet from Mechanicsville Turnpike will enclose the facility.

Henry Broaddus, one of the owners of the property, said his mother and he chose this project after detailed research on the industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went through a lot of due diligence on our side to make sure that this was the kind of project that we thought would be suitable for the farm and we were working with the right partners,â&#x20AC;? Broaddus said.

He said the proposal met three main interests shared

by Broaddus and his mother,

Frances Broaddus Crutchfield.

The solar farm benefits economic development and maintains the landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as revenue producing, while conserving the tract and keeping it zoned as agricultural. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing that is proposed here would change the character of the landscape permanently,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no retail or residential development â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what some farmers call the last crop.â&#x20AC;?

Finally, Broaddus said the project propels Hanover to a leadership role in clean energy transition, setting an example for other communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a chance for us to be a part of that change for a brighter future,â&#x20AC;? Broaddus said.

The approval is not the final step for developers. The site must be permitted by the state, a process that requires archaeological surveys and historical reviews of the property.

Currently, an archaeological dig is underway at Newcastle, and the site contains other potentially historic sites that once surrounded Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first capital.

Sean Davis represents the Henry District where the proposed solar farm is located, and said the project is an exciting development and could provide enough power to remove a full district from the fossil fuel grid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having this opportunity for agricultural land to be used in a variety of different ways allows property owners to preserve their land and utilize it for commerce, and that is a good option for them to have,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Should they opt to no longer use the land for a solar farm, it can go back to crop production.â&#x20AC;?

Several board members toured solar-producing operations while considering the request.

‘Untold Stories’ preserves history

By Mollie Hargrove Reporter ASHLAND – Preserving the history of the Town of Ashland was brought to the public in “Untold Stories” on Sunday, with the ongoing theme of “Growing Up Black and White in Ashland/ Hanover County” continuing for the fourth year.

Community members shared their stories about growing up in Ashland in the 1960s at the Duncan Memorial United Methodist Church.

Carolyn Hemphill recalled

signs posted on the doors of the Ashland train station labeled “white” and “colored,” as well as remembering playing on Ashland’s “colored” field in Ashland.

She said she did not realize the segregation she was growing up around until she began high school. She said there were things she and her peers were expected to do and not do — not realizing skin color was the dividing factor.

John Newell had a similar issue to Hemphill. Growing up in Ashland, he said was not

The Head Page

Katherine Tinker, also known as Sister Smith or Hell on Wheels, shared humorous memories about growing up in Ashland in the 1940s to 1960s.

She said did not think about segregation, because it was the norm of the time.

Tinker said she would ride her roller skates and bicycles around Ashland and never felt unsafe. She said she saw Elvis Presley at The Mosque (now the Altria Theater in Richmond), and how she felt going into Lightfoot’s bakery, asking the African American

aware of the racial separation until later in life.

Newell spoke fondly of Dr. Howard Davis, a political science professor at RandolphMacon College that inspired him to pursue issues of Civil Rights further. He said Davis asked him a question that changed his life: “Does it make any sense to categorize people based on race?” Newell said he realized that did not make sense, and, because of this, he has been a pioneer in Civil Rights and preservation in the Ashland community.

Piland said, “As you know, Hanover Fire-EMS, we operate a high-performance system, and our goal is not only to meet the current needs of Hanover County as it pertains to emergency response, but also the future. Our mission is to serve people, protect lives and property, and we do this 24 hours a day.”

His department serves as the first responders to a number of emergencies, including fire protection, EMS response, and emergency management.

Piland outlined what he said his agency calls “All Hazards Incident Management,” which includes fire extinguishment and investigation, response to motor vehicle crashes, EMS response to large-scale events and mass casualty incidents, as well as their management of emergencies that include disaster preparedness, natural or manmade disasters, or even incidents involving hazardous materials.

Piland told the board how his department conducted research in 2016 and found that a large majority of their volume by incident type required EMS, finding that it was 67% of all incident volume during 2016.

The remaining 33% involved fire incidents and motor vehicle crashes, with 21% of incidents involving fire and 12% involving vehicle accidents.

Piland said the top five busiest fire stations in Hanover County are Mechanicsville, Ashland, Chickahominy, Henry, and Doswell, respectively.

County-wide in 2016, EMS had an average response time of 6.10 minutes and a 79.53% compliance rating.

Confirming that both sides of the agency are achieving their goals, the chief said fire personnel had a 7.49-minute response time with a 85.01%

compliance rate, also countywide.

Piland was gracious in boasting that there are 236 Fire-EMS active volunteers, with 151 trained fire volunteers and 85 trained EMTs in the EMS unit.

Hanover Fire-EMS Chief Jethro Piland addressed the Hanover County Board of Supervisors as the 2018 budget presentation process continues. Budget Director Shelley Wright also appeared at last week’s meeting.

He then outlined different areas on which his department is strategically focusing. These areas include adequate staffing and capabilities, enhancements for the agency’s information technology, health and safety, and officer development.

Piland said the department gained eight new positions in 2016, with three being firefighter-medic positions in the Rockville area to work a 24/7 engine-ambulance schedule. He said the positions were cross-staffed to meet the needs of that community.

Allowing them to enhance their staffing with their volunteers, Fire-EMS also added five firefighter/medic positions in the Black Creek area of the county, which also were crossstaffed for engine/ambulance duties.

These positions will be working under “what we call a 16/24 schedule, which is really increasing our presence to 96 hours a week,” Piland

explained.

“So what I’m asking for is a $18.7 million budget, which is an increase of 9.3% or $1.6 million. The majority of that is in staffing and personnel. Our personnel line has requested $14.8 million, operating is just under $6 million in capital,” he added.

Of the funds being requested, Piland said $85,000 would go directly to training and education, and for members to obtain their Advanced Life Support (ALS) certification who only have their Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, which is the current requirement the county has in place.

The next budget item on the agenda was a request to set public hearings and authorization to advertise the notices of public hearings on the county administrator’s FY18 proposed budget and related items.

Wright gave an overview of the next steps in the budget process and the requested advertisements for public hearings to the board of supervisors.

She presented a prepared motion for consideration to set public hearings as recommended and authorize the advertisement of the public notices for the county administrator’s FY18 proposed budget, the five-year Capital Improvements Plan, the fiveyear General Fund Financial

CALENDAR | News, Updates & Listings Wednesday, March 1 Bringing Ash Wednesday to the streets, meeting people where they are, is a movement that began in 2010 in Chicago. Since then, Episcopal Churches in 11 or more states now take to the streets in the USA on Ash Wednesday to mark the beginning of Lent with “Ashes to Go.” This year, All Souls Episcopal Church will participate in this movement, offering ashes and a blessing from noon to 1:30 p.m. at Rutland Shopping Center. The Reverend Amelie Wilmer Minor, Vicar of All Souls, said the imposition of ashes on one’s forehead signifies how we begin and end in our creator, and initiating a time of return and rest in God for healing and wholeness in anticipation of Easter. “Ashes to Go” offers this ancient rite to those in the community who do not have time to worship in a traditional service during a weekday.

SHERIFF Continued from pg. 1

County Board of Supervisors, Hines reviewed those remarks and talked about why he is so proud of his office and the people who serve with him.

His budget is up by 4.8%, which includes new equipment and six new positions for law enforcement.

Hines said a great deal of planning and preparation goes into his budget. He and key leaders in his department “work very hard” with County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr.’s staff.

“I told the board that I thought it was a budget that we could all be proud of because times have changed for law enforcement. There’s news on a national narrative that talks about law enforcement in the most negative fashion, and most of that has come from the national media sources,” Hines said. “We’re so different because we have such a relationship with our local media

that truly takes the time to get the stories out of success, community involvement. And they get the story out there of the professionalism that’s being displayed. But, most importantly, they get the story out of how the community and the Sheriff ’s Office act as one in trying to keep an entire community safe, and that’s been important.

During his budget presentation before the supervisors, Hines said he talked about several of the successes they have had throughout the year “and to really stress the success that we’ve had as an agency, but also as individual officers recognized by the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police for their lifesaving efforts.” That honor referred to an incident in which deputies “encountered a man with a gun holding hostages.” They were, the sheriff said, “able to peacefully defuse that situation and free the hostages.”

He also said his department has been recognized on

an international level “for our community policing efforts and our SHIELD Program,” which placed second globally.

For more on SHIELD, go to http://www.hanoversheriff. com/362/HCSO-SHIELDProgram.

Hines is humble about the successes of the Sheriff ’s Office, pointing out that “what really makes us successful is the support we get from the community.”

While some towns and cities across the country have fallen victim to shootings involving law enforcement agencies, Hines said the support his office has experienced has been overwhelming.

“I can’t tell you how many people actually came by the office, some just to say thank you for the service we’re providing” after the June 2015 incident in Dallas, Texas, in which a man unleashed a hail of bullets and planted explosives outside police headquarters.

Often, Hines said, citizens

will bring baked goods by the office. “But they were there to let us know they care about us as individuals, as well as an agency, and they recognize that we’re professionals and the job that we’re in.”

Last year, Hines said there were 307,000 citizen contacts, one founded complaint, and 831 letters of commendation for excellent police service.

“There are not many organizations of any type that can post those types of statistics, and it’s all because of the people we have. It starts with our hiring process,” the sheriff said.

“I tell people every day what we look for and what I look for in an individual and I tell my recruit class this –- that they can look around a room and each one of them comes from a different walk of life, different experiences, raised different, different levels of education, but they all have the same character because that’s what we hire for.”

“We can teach them through our academy how to be a police officer. I can’t teach them character at that point in their life,” he said.

“As we talk about our budget

process, we have to talk about taking care of our employees and that becomes really complicated, particularly hiring when the national rhetoric can vilify a profession,” Hines said.

“That has not been done here specifically to our agency but you can turn a TV on and see it any day. So we need to pay our people appropriately. We need to give appropriate raises.”

He said the struggle his office faces is taking care of the employees monetarily. “We are purchasing some officer safety equipment this year to help keep our officers safer.”

This year’s budget presentation emphasized the successes they have had, as well as the vision the Sheriff ’s Office has to continue.

“It really stressed our partnerships not only with our local peers but also with our state and federal peers, and it really stressed that we’re partners with agencies like the New York City Police Department.

We started with them within the last 18 months. We got involved with the New York City Police Department and got involved in a program called SHIELD and SHIELD is

a national network. We’ve been so successful with it the New York City Police Department has asked us to act as a founding member of the National SHIELD Network.

“This year we’ve been contacted by the Detroit Police Department, Baltimore Police Department, Clay County (Florida) Sheriff ’s Office – they sent representatives up here several days to learn about the SHIELD Network, police networking and processes.”

Hines said his department “just finished conversations with the London Police Department in Great Britain.

And this is your Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office that’s doing this.”

The sheriff said the crime rate is “up a little bit above last year. This year we were at 998.5, which is for every 100,000 citizens; 998.5 would be a victim. Another way we calculate is by 1,000 citizens, 9.9 citizens out of a thousand would be a victim. I’m very proud of that low crime rate and we will continue to work

hard to keep it low.”

“Our clearance rate this year was up to 69.3% percent of all crime in Hanover was cleared.”

While addressing the board of supervisors, Hines talked about the professionalism of the officers, the training, “and even our investigative processes that lead to having a low crime rate and a high clearance rate.” He is especially pleased to point out “how close the community works with us. People want to be involved.” He said residents will call if they see something suspicious.

The sheriff said that he had heard Commonwealth’s Attorney R.E. “Trip” Chalkley III say “that it’s nice that people are willing to come to court and be witnesses. Sometimes we take for granted that every place is like Hanover, not every place is like Hanover.”

Over the last year, the Sheriff ’s Office saw an increase of one in homicides. Hines said “All of them are solved.”

“There was a 7% increase in calls for service this year,” he said, “which also included an increase in our responses. Most of our communication talks about crime but we do so many other things. Last year we responded to 1,544 traffic accidents.”

Crime prevention is anoth-

er topic the sheriff discussed.

“Project Lifesaver and all those things are hard to figure into your staffing because the important thing for us, and I think any community, is to provide crime prevention. You want to prevent crime, and at the same time you want to continue needed services — not always enforcement related.”

“So when we put our staffing model together, I met with county administration and I asked for six this year. But the reason I was able to ask for six is our need was much greater. By working with county administration we’ve been able to align our five-year personnel plan with the county’s which, in all honesty, it’s the first time I can remember the county’s five-year plan and the Sheriff ’s Office five-year plan aligned. For this year and the next four we’ll be asking for five positions.”

The sheriff said they had a 31-second reduction in their Priority 1 responses, a first in five years. “We’ve been trending up over the last five years and this is the first reduction we’ve had. We’ve been able to deploy our personnel differently, realigned our beats, deployed our people through a new staffing model, and we think that aligning our fiveyear plans with the county is certainly going to help us continue this trend with having

reduced response times.”

Another safety aspect for officers is having automated external defibrillators (AEDs).

The cases now include Narcan this summer, which can reverse the effect of an opioid overdose.

“Carrying Narcan is also to protect our officers in case they come in contact with Fetanyl, which can be easily absorbed through the skin. If this were to happen, it is imperative that we get an antidote to is as quickly as possible,” Hines said.

“If we get a call for a subject not breathing, we’re responding with a defibrillator. This also is for our own officer’s safety. Fentanyl on the street is easily absorbed through the skin. When you have an overdose of it, it’s imperative that we get an antidote to it as quickly as possible.”

Hines said he wanted to assure the community that “We’re still your Sheriff ’s Office. We have been your Sheriff ’s Office under every president, and we’ll continue to be whoever the president is.

That does not affect how we do our business.”

life, recounted a fascinating story of when Muhammad Ali came to the school in April of 1969.

“Muhammad approached me, said ‘Hey, brother!’ and shook my hand. African Americans were not allowed to eat in the cafeteria, but Ali was. He invited me to sit next to him and eat lunch and I ate in the cafeteria every day after that!”

Henry also shared memories of the March on Washington, D.C., with Dr. Martin Luther

King Jr. He said everyone was kind, and it was a “peaceful, beautiful sight”.

The Rev. Dr. E. Richard Swan of the Jerusalem Baptist Church in Doswell closed the program, talking about the importance of reflecting on the past and how fortunate he and the speakers are to see Civil Rights issues moving forward.

“We’ve come a long, long way and we can be thankful that today is better than yesterday”, he said.

Broken arm no bar to Gardner’s state title

By Dylan Garner Richmond Times-Dispatch HAMPTON — Atlee junior Cason Gardner didn’t expect a late hit while playing wide receiver at an all-star football game in Dallas, Texas, in early February. Nor did he expect the broken arm that came with it.

He ended up with a full cast on his arm, threatening to end the rest of his indoor track and field season. Fortunately, he had progressed to the point where he changed to a forearm cast.

That kept the end of his season, and his hope for a state title, intact.

“You can’t help it, things happen,” Gardner said. “I’m blessed it wasn’t my legs. I thank God every day that it wasn’t my legs.”

On Friday, Gardner’s legs propelled him 6 feet, 6 inches in the air, giving him the Virginia High School League Group 5A boys high-jump title on the first day of the 5A/6A state indoor track and field championships at the Boo Williams Sportsplex. Gardner’s gold was one of six victories picked up by Richmond-area athletes on the opening day of competition.

Lee-Davis was in position to win the boys Group 5A state championship on the second day of competition Saturday, but a spectacular performance – from last to first – by Bethel derailed the Confederates’ hopes for a title. The Bruins edged

Raider girls return to 5A state tournament

By Arthur Utley for The Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – A fast start propelled the Atlee Raiders girls basketball team into the Virginia High School League Group 5A state tournament for the second year in a row – with an added benefit.

The Raiders defeated visiting Briar Woods of Ashburn 56-47 on Tuesday night in the quarterfinals of the 5A North region tournament.

The benefit was another playoff home game in the region semifinals Thursday.

“Honestly, it’s great to have a home game. Last year, we were traveling a lot,” said senior post player Alyse Armentrout. “It means a lot to get a higher seed this year and come out tougher because we were able to show ourselves earlier than we were last year. It feels great to be where we are today.”

The Raiders (22-5) are 172 since losing to J.R. Tucker for the second time in midDecember.

They jumped on the Falcons (16-10) with Armentrout, a third-team All-Metro selection as a junior, dominating play on both ends of the floor, and led 19-8 after the first quarter.

“It’s always good to start off quick and strong. If we start off playing the best of our ability, it sets a good tone and mentality for the rest of the game,” said point guard Kylie Eastman.

Known for logging doubledoubles almost every game,

GARDNER Continued from pg. 28

Nick Liberante for The Local

Atlee’s Kylie Eastman starts her cut around a pick from teammate Aya Youssef in the Raiders’ 56-47 win over Briar Woods in a Region 5A North quarterfinal Tuesday. The win clinched Atlee a berth in the VHSL Group 5A tournament, which begins this week.

Armentrout scored 14 of her game-high 20 points in the first half. She also collected 18 rebounds and was credited with 12 blocked shots.

“My overall assessment (of

the game) would be ‘thank you Alyse,” said Raiders coach Michael Rawlings. “I think at the end of the day the girls used her the way you should use a post player, and Alyse came to

play as well as the others.”

The Raiders held a 14-point lead late in the second quarter, but they committed some turnovers and missed some open shots, and the Falcons closed

the half with a 7-0 run to trail 29-22.

Briar Woods scored the first bucket of the third quarter to trim the deficit to 5 points, but the Raiders didn’t let them get

closer.

Atlee built the lead to 47-35 at the end of the third quarter with Armentrout scoring just 2 points. Hannah Nitz scored 7 of her 13 points in the quarter.

“We always love to go through Alyse. Having other players also score is great. It looks good for us,” Nitz said.

“A good team doesn’t have just one player. A good team has a lot of good players. That’s what is special about us. We have one really good player and a lot of good players to surround her.”

Three of the Falcons scored in double figures. Amani Rascoe led the way with 13 points. Tara Frick and Camille Nau added 12 points each.

“We don’t want to underestimate any team. Every team we play from now on is good,” Armentrout said. “It’s going to be a tough game no matter what so our biggest thing is having a good mentality and trying to do what we can do to keep the positivity up and make sure we don’t get down on ourselves.”

Despite another Armentrout triple double – 21 points, 15 rebounds and 12 blocks – the Raiders fell to Thomas Edison in a region semifinal Thursday.

Thomas Edison had 27 free throw opportunities as opposed to just two for Atlee.

The Raiders went on to clinch the third seed in the Group 5A state tournament with a 57-52 win at Tuscarora Friday.

Hanover boys earn bid in Group 4A tourney

By Jonathan Howard for The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Offense did not come easy for the Hanover Hawks in Tuesday nights’ 4A East Region quarterfinal matchup against King George.

“We missed a lot of little chip layups, missed a lot of normal shots we make. We had the looks, we just didn’t knock them down tonight,” head coach Darren Thornton said.

As it turned out, the lack of traditional offense didn’t matter.

Hanover (11-13) turned up the defensive pressure in the second half, which sparked a 15-3 run and enabled the Hawks to run away with a 75-53 victory over the King George Foxes (9-16).

The victory not only propels the Hawks into the region semifinals, but also gives the team its first berth into the Virginia High School League Group 4A state tournament.

“This is something the guys really wanted to do and be a part of,” Thornton said. “They really locked in the last couple of weeks and they’re making it happen.”

Hanover fell to Smithfield 67-66 in the region semifinal Thursday, but clichéd the third seed in the state tournament with a 82-71 victory over conference rival Monacan in a consolation game Friday.

After falling behind 11-7 through the first quarter of their region quarterfinal, Hanover found offensive success by attacking the paint and getting to the free throw line. While the Hawks struggled to finish over King George’s tall front line of Isiah White and Jaylen Stepney (both 6-foot-4), they were able to draw fouls. Hanover hit more free throws in the quarter first quarter deficit into a 29-25 atmosphere of the playoffs, free throw line” forward Josh (eight) than King George had halftime lead. keep attacking the rim and try Plummer said. “That’s what we field goals (five), and turned the “We just had to trust the to create fouls and get to the did.

ble bonus and knocked them down.”

King George came out for the second half with the plan of getting the ball to Stepney in the paint. The junior, who finished with a game-high 19 points, muscled his way to 8 of his team’s first 12 third-quarter

points to give the Foxes a onepoint lead.

But, following a technical foul on King George, all momentum the Foxes had shifted back to Hanover. The Hawks continued to bully their way to the free-throw line and increased the defensive pressure in the backcourt, making it more difficult for the guards to find Stepney in the paint.

“We didn’t want them to get set up because [Stepney] is a good player,” Thornton said.

“We wanted to put more pressure on the guards, speed the game up and make their guards be the playmakers.”

The plan of attack worked.

King George was limited to one field goal over the final 3:26 of the third quarter, and Hanover opened at 52-40 lead heading into the final frame. The 12point deficit was as close as the visiting Foxes would get the rest of the way.

Hanover finished 26-of-36 from the free throw line. Nikolas Morrison led the Hawks with 17 points, including 12 at the stripe. Plummer finished with 13 points, 7 of which came from the line. Ryan Payne chipped in 14 points in the victory.

The Hawks had the misfortune of fouling a Smithfield player on a successful 3-point shot at the end of regulation in the region semifinal. The successful free throw game the visiting Packers a 67-66 victory.

Hanover’s Ryan Payne had a game-high 20 points, and Josh Plummer added 16.

In the consolation game, Jaylin Ross scored 23 points and Ryan Payne added 19 as the Hawks defeated Monacan 82-71.

Trejvon McFail scored 24 points for Monacan.

Yellow Jacket women reach ODAC semifinals lier than it would have liked, the fact remains that it was later than many preseason pickers expected. Neither Lee – a former standout at Patrick Henry – nor Williams have any complaints.

“It’s been a great year,” said Lee, who added that building cohesion has been one of the team’s biggest accomplishments this year. “We started off really strong and then it died down – every team has its troubles – then we came back together.

Now we’re going to keep on building that cohesion.”

For Williams, who had 21 points and eight rebounds against Hollins, it has been a great year on a number of levels.

“It’s been a good first year here,” she said. “It’s been better than I expected, all around – school and basketball.”

By Mark Robertson Lynchburg News & Advance SALEM – Lynchburg College ended RandolphMacon’s women’s basketball season with a gritty 69-60 victory over the Yellow Jackets in a Old Dominion Athletic Conference tournament semifinal Saturday night at the Salem Civic Center.

The victory set up the Hornets’ third straight appearance in the ODAC women’s championship game. They fell to Guilford 59-53 Sunday afternoon.

Things started off rocky for Lynchburg (22-6) in its semifinal. It trailed Randolph-Macon 7-0 just 1:21 into the game, but the Hornets scored 19 of the next 20 points. Junior point guard Olivia DeFrancesco rattled off 10 of the 19 in that sixminute run, trading her normal ball distribution for an impressive outside shooting display.

“Olivia’s fight is something that I’ve admired since freshman year,” said teammate (and Mechanicsville native) Caroline Naumann. “She’s always known when we need her.”

DeFrancesco said it was just her turn to pick the team up.

“I felt we needed a spark, and I was able to do that for us today,” she said. “It could be any of us, really.”

Naumann and the Hornets’ aggressive 1-3-1 zone defense did the rest for Lynchburg.

Dealing with Randolph-Macon’s 6-foot-3 center, Kelly Williams, the Hornets’ interior had its hands full. Williams had handled Eastern Mennonite easily in Friday’s quarterfinal, posting a 22-point, 22-rebound effort.

Lynchburg held the ODAC’s rookie of the year to 14 points, 13 rebounds and just nine field goal attempts.

“I tried to just cut down her touches,” said Naumann, who

marked Williams most of the night. “I figured if she didn’t get [the ball], it was going to be OK.” On the other end, Naumann helped the Hornets stay ahead.

The junior scored 13 points to go with 12 rebounds for her fourth double-double in her past five ODAC tournament games.

“It’s my favorite place,” she

said of the Salem Civic Center floor.

Randolph-Macon stormed back in the second period to take the lead, but Caroline Noe lifted the Hornets back ahead.

After air-balling her first 3point attempt, the freshman drained one from the same spot a minute later to tie the game at 28, and she hit two more in the half ’s final minute to

put Lynchburg ahead five at the break.

“She’s really getting into our system and understanding what her role is and doing that,” said Lynchburg coach Abby Pyzik Smith. “And she didn’t do too much.”

Noe wound up with 13 points, while DeFrancesco scored 15 with four assists.

Four Yellow Jackets scored

in double figures in the semifinal. In addition to Williams’ effort, Amber Lee scored 14 points and Kareema Conteh and Taylor Intermill added 10 apiece.

While Randolph-Macon, which defeated Hollins 65-44 in the ODAC first round Tuesday and upset Eastern Mennonite 71-58 in the quarterfinals Friday, finished the season ear-

Andy Kleinlein scored 17 points, Devin Kearns scored 15, and Roy McMillan grabbed 10 rebounds for Washington and Lee. Michael Taylor led Randolph-Macon with 19 points. Korey Turner scored 12.

The Yellow Jackets got ahead by 7 points early in the first half but trailed by 8 at halftime.

Washington and Lee outscored Randolph-Macon 41-38 in the second half.

Factors to consider when choosing carpeting hen the time comes to choose flooring for their homes, homeowners may be overwhelmed by the vast array of options at their disposal.

The choice between carpet and hardwood flooring, laminate or tile is a matter of personal preference. People have long extolled the virtues of hardwood flooring, but carpeting can be just as stylish and provides a host of other benefits as well.

Carpeting insulates rooms in the summer and winter, adding that extra level of protection against the elements.

Professional installers will lay the carpeting in the correct manner so that it will look beautiful and maintain its durability for the life of the product.

Carpeting also absorbs sound in a home. Many appreciate the warmth and cozy feeling of carpet, especially when stepping out of bed. Carpeting also can increase the level of safety at home. According to the Carpet and Rug Institute, carpeting makes areas of play safer and may also reduce the severity of an injury in the event of a fall.

Today, there are many different types of carpeting available. Selecting the right carpeting for a room comes down to identifying the level of traffic in a particular room, the attributes homeowners would like the carpet to have and any other needs that fit with their lifestyles. The following guidelines can make carpet shopping a bit easier.

Type of carpeting There are many different types of carpeting, some of which are best suited to certain

situations. For example, plush and saxony carpets are better in low-traffic areas. These carpets may show footprints and also vacuum tracks and dirt, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re higher on the comfort spectrum than other types of carpet. Berber, which is more flat and dense, helps mask stains and tracks. It is durable in high-traffic areas.

Textured carpets like frieze are cut from fibers of different heights, so they mask stains and are also softer on the feet than berber.

Padding Padding can impact the way carpeting feels and how long it lasts. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always necessary to purchase the most expensive or thickest padding.

However, it is wise to pick a pad that matches the type of carpeting youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re selecting and one that aligns with how you plan to use the room. You may be able to go with a thinner

pad in low-traffic rooms and beneath dense carpeting like berber. In high-traffic rooms, choose a thicker, more durable padding. Padding prevents carpet backing and fibers from coming apart over time. It pays to invest in a padding that will last as well.

Installation Select a reliable carpet retailer and installer for your business. Competent installers will lay the carpeting in the correct manner so that it will look beautiful and maintain its durability for the life of the product. Shop around to find the right installer or even do the work yourself if you feel capable.

Take time when shopping for carpeting, which is a substantial investment that can last for many years if the right material is chosen and installed correctly.

Spring home improvement How to create extra storage space

Addressing spring ant problems

Apartment dwellers commonly lament the lack of storage space in their homes. But unless such men and women are willing to pack up and move to a larger apartment or private home, storage will continue to pose a problem. Fortunately, there are many ways to create storage space without knocking down walls.

Buy furniture that includes storage space.

Perhaps the simplest way to create extra storage space is to purchase furniture that doubles as storage. Storage beds make great places to store bulky bedding, including extra bedsheets, blankets and pillows. Living room furniture can also serve dual roles. Dress up a storage chest and use it as your coffee table, and replace old footrests with storage ottomans.

Hang pots and pans. Kitchen cabinet space can be especially scarce in apartments, but that does not mean apartment dwellers must cook with a single pot and pan. Suspend pots and pans from the ceiling, using the cabinet space you have to store food and other items that might look out of place if left sitting out.

Buy a corner coat rack. Coats take up ample

closet space, which apartment dwellers know can be a precious commodity. Rather than reserving half of your closet space for coats, purchase a corner coat rack with multiple hooks at varying heights. This means that all those bulky coats will be stored in one small, vertical space, leaving more room in the closets for the rest of your wardrobe.

Purchase removable shelving units for closets. Closets may have plenty of shelf space up top, but what about all that floor space that’s not being put to use? Small, removable shelving units can be placed inside closets so you can make use of the space beneath all those shirts, dresses and sweaters hanging on hangers.

Purchase an e-reader. Avid readers living in storage-starved apartments can create more space simply by going digital with regard to their favorite hobby. Purchase an e-reader and store all of your books digitally on your new device and its accompanying cloud storage. This saves you from having to find space to store new books, and you can donate all or some of your existing collection to create more space. -Metro Creative

Ants will bring tainted food back to their colonies and perish.

he return of warm weather in the spring often marks the return of animals and insects as well. The spring season is a popular time for insects to mate and build nests. This also may be a time when homeowners see ant ‘swarms’ in or around their homes.

Ants and termites are social creatures, and when their colonies become too large, flying ants will spread out in search of new territories and to establish new queens. This mobility may also be coupled with an increasing number of ants marching on the ground and scaling walls.

Although many species of ants are harmless, homeowners do not want to see ants inside their homes especially in large numbers. The following strategies can help homeowners address ant infestations this spring.

Treat carpenter ants at the source.

Carpenter ants will not bring back food to the nest. Instead, sprinkle diatomaceous earth, or DE, around outdoor nests to eradicate colonies.

Work with an exterminator. If home remedies do not work, consult with a trained exterminator. - Metro Creative

85 percent of homeowners say remodeling is a more stressful undertaking than buying a home. But homeowners about to embark on home improvement projects can make the process go more smoothly by avoiding these common pitfalls.

Failing to understand the scope of the project Some homeowners don’t realize just how big a commitment they have made until they get their hands dirty. But understanding the scope of the project, including how much demolition and reconstruction is involved and how much time a project will take can help homeowners avoid some of the stress that comes with renovation projects. For example, a bathroom renovation may require the removal of drywall, reinforcement of flooring to accommodate a new bathtub or shower enclosure and the installation of new plumbing and wiring behind walls. So such a renovation is far more detailed than simply replacing faucets.

Not establishing a budget Homeowners must develop a project budget to ensure their projects do not drain their finances. If your budget is so inflexible that you can’t afford the materials you prefer, you may want to postpone the project and save more money so you can eventually afford to do it right.

Without a budget in place, it is easy to overspend, and that can put you in financial peril down the line. Worrying about coming up with money to pay for materials and labor also can induce stress. Avoid the anxiety by setting a firm budget.

Making trendy or overpersonal improvements Homeowners who plan to stay in their homes for the long run have more free reign when it comes to renovating their homes. Such homeowners can create a billiards room or paint a room hot pink if they so prefer. However, if the goal is to make improvements in order to sell a property, overly personal touches may make a property less appealing to prospective buyers. Trends come and go, and improvements can be expensive. If your ultimate goal is to sell your home, opt for renovations that will look beautiful through the ages and avoid bold choices that may only appeal to a select few buyers.

Forgetting to properly vet all workers It is important to vet your contractor, but don’t forget to vet potential subcontractors as well. Failing to do so can prove a costly mistake. Contractors often look to subcontractors to perform certain parts of a job, and it is the responsibility of

homeowners to vet these workers.

Expecting everything to go as planned Optimism is great, but you also should be a realist. Knowing what potentially could go wrong puts you in a better position to handle any problems should they arise. The project might go off without a hitch, but plan for a few hiccups along the way.

Overestimating DIY abilities Overzealous homeowners may see a renovation project in a magazine or on television and immediately think they can do the work themselves. Unless you have the tools and the skills necessary to do the work, tackling too much can be problematic. In the long run, leaving the work to a professional may save you money.

Home improvements can be stressful, but homeowners can lessen that stress by avoiding common renovation mistakes.

aintaining a home that is welcoming and kid-friendly can be challenging. Kids are full of energy and oftentimes put fun ahead of tidiness. But no matter how energetic their youngsters are, parents can still employ several strategies to ensure their homes are both sophisticated and child-friendly.

M

Consider an open floor plan Rooms that flow into one another make it easier to keep tabs on children. Such rooms also allow residents and guests to mingle in separate rooms but not be too far away from one another.

Choose washable fabrics Upholstery will need to stand up to the abuse kids can dish out. Sofas and chairs with slipcovers can be advantageous because many slipcovers can be easily removed and laundered. Patterned fabrics will hide some stains, while treated fabrics may resist liquid spills for easier cleanup.

Create a catch-all spot Special bins or other organizational tools in the entryway can help to cull clutter when children come in the house from school or play. Be sure the keep cubbies, containers and coat hooks at a child-friendly height.

Look for high-traffic rugs Rugs designed for high-traffic areas will be

more forgiving when children march across them several times per day. There are no rules that say you can’t bring an outdoor rug inside, and these rugs tend to be easier to clean.

Ensure there is plenty of seating Sectionals give children ample room to spread out. And ample seating ensures there is enough room for kids to invite their friends over to hang out.

Think outside pink and blue For children’s rooms, make sure they’re colorful, but consider other hues to give the rooms some personality. Focus on a hobby or activity and borrow the color scheme from the accessories used for decorating.

Hang whimsical artwork Employ framing and lighting to make kids’ artwork look like professional pieces. Routinely change the pictures when a new look is desired.

Kitchen remodels are a safe bet when it comes to putting money into improving a home.

Residents tend to spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, but a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can detract from the value of a home, even if the rest of the home is in good shape. It’s possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of your kitchen remodel investment, especially if the kitchen matches up well with the rest of your home.

Homeowners should know that a deluxe renovation may not be necessary, as relatively moderate improvements can create a whole new look for a kitchen.

Look to paint. One of the least expensive improvement materials, but one that has a significant impact, is paint. Neutral, modern colors can easily liven up any space. If you paint with low-VOC paint, you also can advertise an ecofriendly home, which is very desirable these days.

Put in another bathroom. Multiple bathrooms are an attractive selling point, particularly in older homes that may not have been equipped with more than one bathroom.

Finding extra space for a bathroom can be tricky, but consider closets, areas under stairs or even taking some space away from another room. Popular home-improvement television channel HGTV advises that half-bathrooms require at least 18 square feet of space, while full baths need 30 to 35 square feet for a stand-up shower or bathtub.

Renovate the HVAC system. Aesthetic improvements aren’t the only ones that add value to a home. Many home buyers are eager to purchase a home that has a new heating and cooling system, as buyers

Finding space to install an extra bathroom in a home can be a worthwhile investment.

understand that furnaces and air conditioning units are substantial investments that can last for years. Other improvements, such as adding attic insulation or replacing older windows and doors with more energy efficient options, also are smart bets.

Add illumination to rooms. A dark home is a dreary home. Adding light can mean including more overhead and accent lighting. Under-cabinet task lighting is a nice touch.

Inclusion of skylights and sun tubes can bring natural light into rooms that may not have south- or west-facing windows.

Put a deck addition outdoors. Outdoor living spaces have become more desireable, especially as the ÒstaycationÓ has grown in popularity. Decks and patios can make backyards more appealing. The scope of your investment will depend on

the size of the deck and design.

Doing the work yourself can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if you have the specific tools or experience to tackle such a project.

Improve curb appeal.

Adding attractive landscaping and freshening up the entryway to a home can add considerable value to your home, as buyers judge homes by their exteriors.

Completely renovated interiors may never be seen if buyers pass up your home because of a less attractive exterior. Classy, subtle changes, like well-placed shrubbery and a green lawn, can work wonders. An inviting front door and well-lit entryway also add curb appeal to a home.

Before making improvements, homeowners should determine if a given project will provide a solid return on their investment. - Metro Creative
