Supervisors will consider the document for final approval at a meeting scheduled for today (Wednesday, April 12). Chairman Angela KellyWiecek, Chickahominy District, said the comments expressed at last week’s meeting mirror the response she has received from her constituents. “Most of the comments we’ve heard have been positive,� she said following the public hearing. “I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback on this budget, especially the investments we are making in public safety and school technology are being

Beaverdam resident Patti Davis also voiced support for the $440.3 million proposal, and specifically noted the education and public safety portions of the document. “It was exciting to see the budget come together with the technology innovations for the schools that the county is willing to help with,� Davis said. “You are willing to do more than the General Assembly and the Governor and take care of salaries with a 2 percent increase,� she added.
Ashland Fire Chief Phillip Hutchinson also gave the FY18 proposal high marks for addressing pressing public safety issues, and urged support for its approval next week. Jason Burrow of Hanover Professional Firefighters also addressed the board regarding the proposed budget. “Our members are completely in support of the budget that Chief [Jethro] Piland has presented to you. This year’s request reflects an increase in funding from last fiscal year. That increase is needed to provide the much needed support to the department to provide critical services to the western areas of Hanover County.� Mechanicsville resident Dave Fuller expressed his appreciation for this budget’s attention to public safety. “In our community, the respect, admiration and genuine appreciation for the men and women in uniform is expressed with action,� Fuller said. Bill Callahan spoke on behalf of the Hanover Professional Educators and praised the board for its inclusion of a 2 percent pay increase and technology funding in this year’s proposal. “HPE supports the school budget,� he said. “We are especially pleased that Hanover teachers will receive the full 2 percent raise. We’re also pleased by the five-year technology initiative that replaces infrastructure in all the facilities and makes laptops available for all teachers and devices available to all middle and high school students.� Rachel Levy told supervisors a petition encouraging the county to seek continuing revenue streams to address chalsee BUDGET, pg. 4

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

County music programs so impressive
| Reader Views
By Melody Kinser Managing Editor In the spirit of full transparency, before I continue, I find it incumbent to reveal that I was in my high school band. I didn’t have any talent, was not musically inclined, but friends seemed to think I would be fun on band trips. Yes, there’s my story of two years in the Logan (West Virginia) High School Marching Band. I carried the bells and memorized the few songs I did play. I never even attempted the “Star Spangled Banner,” which was performed during the pregame show at football games. Anyway, to get to the point, we are so incredibly fortunate to have excellent — and I do mean excellent — music programs in Hanover County Public Schools. No matter which school, you’ll be impressed
by the talent and skill. For example, let’s talk about a recent performance by the Patrick Henry High School Pop Strings, led by Brent Idelman, in the Ashland Musical Variety Show’s “Ashland Loves a Parade.” How many times have you seen the accomplishments of Atlee, Lee-Davis, Hanover and Patrick Henry’s bands applauded within these pages? But that’s not all. The middle and elementary schools also can take a bow and do some bragging about their performances. I love music. Period. Granted, my Sirius XM can be found on 70s on 7, 80s on 8 or 90s on 9, but I also enjoy other genres. It’s so exciting to share the news of our band programs and their dedicated instructors. Our high school bands compete on major levels and bring home the gold. Those superior ratings just
keep adding up in Hanover County. Before joining the band, I didn’t give much thought to the camaraderie members share. It’s kind of like a family. And when it comes time to compete, you better believe everyone has the same goal: the best rating possible. There’s nothing like the sounds of spectators when you’re marching down the street in a parade. Just like you see in Mechanicsville and Ashland, it’s an event everybody turns out to see. In my small hometown, the Homecoming Parade kicked off between noon or 1 p.m. (if memory serves me correctly) and everybody was on the street to watch. (Business was pretty much put on hold and traffic was stopped.) To Hanover County’s music programs and their leaders, thank you for your gifts to us.

Explanation given on canvassing for candidates Since I have been old enough to vote, I have canvassed for a number of candidates across Hanover County. Many times, the conversations were good and I learned things to pass on to my candidates. Across all those years, I’m struck by how many voters conflate canvassing with soliciting. Canvassing is a door-to-door exercise to distribute and gather information on a political candidate or issue. Soliciting is seeking a profit door-todoor. Awhile back, I was canvassing in eastern Hanover and a voter actually called the police. I told the gentleman I would leave his property, but carry on with the rest of my route. A few minutes later, an officer arrived. I showed her my canvassing app and the lack of wares in my bag to prove there was no way I was soliciting. I respect individual “no soliciting” signs, I also leave the campaign literature without ringing the bell at houses with lots of cars in the driveway because I don’t want to disrupt a gathering, and, for the rare encounters where the voters don’t enjoy seeing me, I have a “no go” list. However, I am skeptical of signs outside a whole subdivision claiming to speak for all therein. To those who believe there is a pure and absolute “right to be left alone” no such thing exists and it probably never will. The U.S. Supreme Court Case Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York, Inc. v. Village of Stratton (2002) held that a town ordinance’s provisions making it a misdemeanor to engage in door-to-door advocacy see LETTERS, pg. 24

Grace Christian School to host Walk-a-thon on April 28 Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — Grace Christian School will be hosting its annual school Walka-thon on Friday, April 28, on the school grounds at 8067 Atlee Rd. in Mechanicsville.
COALITION Continued from pg. 6
CHF believes in common-sense growth, but what is involved in nurturing and balancing that growth? In other words, because the Comp Plan is a blueprint for the future, how do we the citizens along with elected and appointed officials chart that course? Many issues, some quite specific and some more general, crop up in relation to a Comp Plan. We pose some questions and comments that we hope will prompt creative thinking about how we value
With an event kickoff beginning at 1 p.m., the Walk-a-thon will involve 120+ middle and high school students and staff members walking to raise money for the school. Each year this event not only serves as a school fundraiser, but as an opportunity for the school to bring awareness and show support of

What does a viable economic development plan for the 21st century look like? The vacant storefronts of old-school planning are too numerous. Do we need more large parcels of land designated for “economic development” or do we have enough, maybe even too much? Data for decision-making. What was and is Hanover’s projected growth rate? Scale down the projection if it was
too vigorous. Do projections stand up to cost-benefit analysis? Proffers. Hanover is now suffering from the effects of the cash proffer reduction of 2012. Schools and services are feeling the pinch. Reducing this funding stream has had tangible consequences. Density. Though keeping growth compact and contiguous is a sound practice, could density be scaled back to take pressure off of roads and other county services? How do we keep our existing neighborhoods livable and protect their quality of life? Schools. What are the

The Fisher House, a nonprofit foundation, projections? What is needed? Where is funding? Physical plant upgrades and technology are big needs. Internet coverage. Is this part of a 21st century plan for economic development? Citizens increasingly want to work from home. What is the county’s role? Are providers overly controlling this infrastructure need?

Simply put, this is a necessity within the built environment. Citizens need open, passive spaces for rest and recreation. Bikeways. Footpaths. Pocket parks. All these build the green connectivity that gives us respite from the paved world. The Comp Plan Review and Update must be a complementary process, balancing interests from a diverse, inter-

If you love the quality of life in this county, then speak up to ensure that we preserve that way of life. If you like the predominantly rural nature and less congested suburbs, then now is the time to make that known to your friends, neighbors and especially your elected officials. Without your involvement, narrow interests will dictate our county’s future. Your voices need to be heard.

Council member resigns to head to law school By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local
MURRAY
ASHLAND — Ashland Town Council will be faced with filling a vacant seat this summer. Vice Mayor James Murray has announced his resignation to attend law school. With Murray’s action, council begins the search to replace a
member. “With very mixed emotions, I have to announce my departure from the town council and, in fact, from the Town of Ashland as a whole. After lengthy discussions, and quite a bit of input from friends, loved ones, advisors, I’ve accepted an offer of admissions at the Duke University School of Law beginning this fall,” Murray

said during reports at the April 4 regular council meeting. He has served on town council for nearly three years, being elected in 2014, and later appointed to vice mayor in 2016. “While I’m very excited for the challenges and opportunities that brings, I am also very saddened about leaving the town,” he said.
Mayor James Foley wished Murray the best of luck in his future endeavors, and announced that an application would be uploaded to the town’s website to fill the vacant council seat. An election will be held next May to elect a new council member, according to Foley. “While I know that any unplanned change in leadership
is always a concern, I do have every confidence in my fellow members of council, our town manager, the phenomenal staff – and the people, customs and traditions that work together to make Ashland, as far as I’m concerned, the greatest community in Virginia,” Murray added. see RESIGNS, pg. 17

Murray is a media specialist at Randolph-Macon College. In other business, Town Manager Joshua Farrar led a presentation that outlined to council a broad overview of different ideas for the town’s future branding, marketing and advertising campaigns. Farrar made the presentation after recently attending an economic development seminar between town officials and Ashland business leaders. Emphasizing how the town needs to first develop its brand and then shape its marketing and advertising around that brand, Farrar explained how community branding is a “clear and consistent vision and a message that conveys what a community represents – it’s who we are, what we represent and the values we hold.� He acknowledged how that definition of community branding is inherently
ambiguous as it relates to their branding of the “Center of the Universe� and how that it will probably be tough to get to; but then reinforced his core belief of how essential the branding segment of a marketing campaign is. A community’s brand is central to the community’s marketing endeavors. “Effective community marketing presents the relative and unique assets and experiences that [we] have – that [our] community can offer customers and visitors,� said Farrar, using Ashland’s self-identification as a “railroad town� and a “college town� as examples. He said the advertising segment is the “actual ad you put in the newspaper, in my mind – the actual piece you put out as part of your marketing campaign.� Putting all that together in a logical sequence, Farrar said he believes the town needs to develop a brand first and foremost, and then market that
brand using individual advertising pieces. During his presentation, he scrolled through slides showing council different examples of how other communities across the nation are communicating their brand and how those brands relate to their communities in unique ways. Farrar said the idea behind the presentation was to get everyone on the same page, and thinking the same way in terms of the important distinctions between branding, marketing, and advertising because they all play specific functions in a successful campaign. Most of the materials he referenced were from a Northstar Destination Strategies professional development presentation at the International City/County Management Association, and “Community Branding and Marketing� by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. He also talked about street art, a topic brought up during

the citizen input portion of the meeting, and integrated it into what he was presenting. Ashland recently implemented a new look for a section in its historic district downtown, with art and murals painted on buildings and at one point sidewalks. Farrar suggested that these pieces of artwork could be used as strategic marketing
tactics in the campaign. Councilwoman Kathy Abbott pointed out the strength in companies like Northstar in how they come in and do that extensive research, and deliver surveys and talk to people in the community to create an essence of what that community is; but also noted that it isn’t cheap, and the town has already collected a lot of that
information through its own processes. Abbot suggested that the town should see where its own creative talent takes them. see RESIGNS, pg. 18

Murray said that, while he realizes there are other important matters that need the attention of their budget and resources, he also understands the importance of developing a unique brand that’s meaningful to the town. He said advertising wouldn’t exist if it didn’t work, and how people wouldn’t spend money on advertising if advertising didn’t make them money. He also said there were right ways to spend money on advertising and wrong ways to do it, but that he doesn’t want to sell the town short by limiting its marketing resources on developing a quality brand and advertising pieces. The town adopted a retroactive appropriations resolution for the 2017-2018 budget, taking effect from the fiscal year 2016-2017 appropriations budget resolution. The town typically passes an appropriations resolution at the same time as it adopts the annual budget. The resolution officially takes effect retroactively on July 1, 2016. There is not any operational or fiscal impact connected to the result of this action, and it authorizes town staff to manage the budget and finances in the same way they’ve managed it throughout the year.
McEachin to speak at Blue Moon Bash Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND — U.S. Rep. Donald McEachin, who is serving his first term in the United States House of Representatives, will address the annual Blue Moon Bash hosted by the Hanover Democratic Committee next Wednesday. The event will get underway at 6:30 p.m. at the Hanover Arts and Activities Center at 500 S. Center St. in Ashland. A Democrat, McEachin represents Virginia’s District 4. McEachin was elected to Congress after a court-ordered redistricting to correct gerrymandering. He is expected to highlight his experiences during the first 100 days of the Trump Administration. “This will be our eighth annual Blue Moon Bash, and it’s one you don’t want to miss because it promises to be one of our most exciting. Our keynote speaker, Congressman McEachin, has experienced first-hand the Trump administration’s tumultuous interac-
tion with Congress. He’s witnessed it all: the Congressional investigation of Russian involvement in our elections, the failure of the Republican Congress to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act with Trumpcare, and the courts’ rejection of the President’s flawed immigration ban,� Toni Radler, chair of the Hanover Democratic Committee, said. “He has been an eyewitness to perhaps the most unique presidency in American history.� The Blue Moon Bash is the signature event of the Hanover Democratic Committee. Virginia State Sen. Jennifer McClellan will serve as master of ceremonies. Hanover Democratic candidates seeking state office also are expected to speak at the event. The evening will feature a buffet, a gospel solo by Dr. Alphine Jefferson and classical guitar by Mark Brumitt.

‘Hidden in Plain Sight’ program proved beneficial to parents MECHANICSVILLE — Knowing the signs and symptoms of drug use in children can be difficult, especially in a time when items specifically designed to conceal drugs and alcohol from parents are easily purchased online or at the local shopping mall. Fortunately for residents of Hanover County, a local coalition is working to educate parents to recognize the signs and symptoms of drug and alcohol use among teens. Teens Care Too and Hanover Cares have worked together to develop a free community initiative called “Hidden in Plain Sight: To Snoop or Not to Snoop.” Teens Care Too is an organization led by a group of Hanover County high school students being sponsored by Hanover Cares coalition, an organization whose mission is to support healthy opportunities for Hanover youth and parents as well as attempt to reduce the sub-

stance abuse in our community. The first “Hidden in Plain Sight” event took place on March 13 at the New Hanover Presbyterian Church with about 40 parents in attendance. A typical teenager’s bedroom was replicated in the church facility for the exhibit. Parents were allowed to walk through the mock set-up, pointing out any obvious signs of drug or alcohol use. Once the parents had their opportunity to walk through the room, a narcotics officer from the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office went through and revealed all the items parents had missed. Some parents were surprised. A fake tube of sunscreen used to hide alcohol and a hollow power strip cord on the floor used to conceal drugs were among the many seemingly ordinary items found in the room that had a use unknown to them. In all, there were about 50 red flag items in the mock bedroom.
April 12, 2017
Following the reveal, parents were provided a special presentation called “Talking Tips” to help them effectively discuss this sensitive and difficult subject with their teen. According to Maureen Earley, community development specialist for Hanover County, talking is key and parents need to know what to say if they do uncover red flags in their child’s bedroom. Parents who attended the event were polled before and after the exhibit and all guests reported an increased knowledge and awareness about drugs and alcohol. In addition, many parents leaving the exhibit said they intended to engage more often with their children about risky behaviors as a result. Sadly, drug use among our youth is a real concern. According to the National Institute for Drug Abuse, marijuana is the most used illegal substance among youth and about 45 percent of teens have tried marijuana at least once by the
time they graduate from high school. “I think it is important to educate parents about the indicators of substance abuse because these indicators can leave parents more informed and attentive to the signs of drug usage,” said Kaitlin McClendon, a sophomore at Patrick Henry High School and a member of Teens Care Too “It could save their child’s life by seeking help for drug addiction. It is essential that all parents play a supportive role in the health of their child to ensure a drug-free lifestyle.” Parents wanting more information about this program are invited to visit www.hanover-cares.org. Local churches or other organizations interested in bringing this free program to their facility may contact Octavia March, executive director of Hanover Cares, at 804-564-6119, or by email at info@hanover-cares.org.

She noted that 90 percent of Virginia schools currently employ the 10-point scale with two more districts making the switch for the upcoming school year. Stubblefield responded to board comments that some parents were only interested in enhancing the grades of their students. “Our initiative has never been about students receiving more A’s; this is about giving our students a level playing field.� Greif unveiled a plan that seemed to satisfy the concerns of many parents. “We appreciate the scale that is being presented tonight and feel it is fair and balanced,� Stubblefield said. “This recommended scale also benefits all

18,0000 students in Hanover County.� Superintendent Michael Gill thanked the board for its due diligence regarding an issue where information was not always easy to obtain, and also acknowledged the efforts of the concerned parents. “Having open professional dialogue and civil discourse is a mark of the many healthy stakeholder groups that we have here in Hanover County,� Gill said. Gill noted there are a variety of 10-point scales in use across the Commonwealth, and said the presented version represents only one of many versions of the 10-point scale. “Senior staff felt most comfortable with the one presented here today,� Gill said. Greif presented a plan that is endorsed by the College Board and “expands the grading scale to a 10-point for a
majority of the grading scales.� “I knew Dr. Gill and his staff would come up with an excellent proposal and I want to thank the tonight for doing that,� Cold Harbor representative Norman Sulser said. In other news, Gill informed the board that the Hanover AllCounty Band will be traveling to New York City to participate in America’s Veterans Day Parade. The band is comprised of band students from all four of the county’s high schools: Atlee, Hanover, Lee-Davis and Patrick Henry. In another matter, a parent voiced concerns regarding the length of SOL (Standards of Learning) tests and the difficulty involved in obtaining information regarding those time frames. Jack Clark said he was surprised to learn his 12-year-old daughter spent more than two hours completing one SOL test
in math. “I find it unacceptable for the State of Virginia to give 12year-old students testing that takes that long to complete,� Clark said. “For many students, SOLs have become less about content knowledge and more about mental endurance.� Clark said he suspects most parents are unaware of the problem due to strict provisions regarding information regarding the actual test times. “Due to this secrecy, parents are not given information about test duration and 12year-olds are not very good at advocating for themselves,� Clark said. He plans to lobby the state Board of Education to provide both test scores and test duration times to parents. John Szewczyk, assistant director of the Virginia Professional Educators,
addressed the board regarding dual enrollment employees currently working for the school system. These jobs usually involve bus drivers who perform other school duties in between their routes. Last year, the board revised the policy and disallowed the practice to continue due to several reasons, including an increase in overtime pay for some of the employees. Szewczyk said most of

Next year, only 11 dual role employees remain, and Szewczyk urged the board to show compassion for these remaining workers. “I am asking you to show kindness once again to these 11 employees, to allow them to continue in both positions past the 2017-18 school year.�

County: It is illegal to place signs within VDOT rights-of-way HANOVER – Residents are reminded that it is illegal to place signs within the Virginia Department of Transportation’s right-of-way and that violations of this law can result in fines. The VDOT right-of-way typically includes median strips, utility poles, street signs and the area between the road
and ditch line. Hanover County actively enforces this state law throughout the county, and violators can be assessed a $100 fine per illegal sign. David Maloney, director of Planning, said his office has received complaints about these signs over the years and has assessed a number of fines.

Lee-Davis stops Patrick Henry a run short By Jonathan Howard For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – LeeDavis catcher Logan Hawker was on the correct side of two home-plate collisions in Thursday’s 5-4 victory over Patrick Henry (7-1). Her fifthinning two-run inside-the-park home run gave the Confederates a lead, and she held on to a toss from center field in the top of the seventh inning that ended the game. Despite those accomplishments, Hawker passed the praise to a teammate: centerfielder Heather Childress. Childress provided a sacrifice that started the fifth-inning scoring rally and provided an RBI for insurance in the sixth. She also made the throw that Hawker caught to apply the tag for the game’s final out. “I think [Childress] is the real MVP of the game. That was a great throw. That was a perfect throw, actually,” Hawker said. “I always trust her. I know whenever she throws it, I know it’s going to be right there. That throw probably saved the game.” Lee-Davis (6-1) led 5-3 heading into the top of the seventh. Patrick Henry’s Delaney Nuckols led off the inning by drawing a walk and Alexandra Prokopis followed with a single. Confederates pitcher Kayley Scott got the next two batters
head coach Jackie Davis. Childress fielded the ball cleanly and fired it home, where Hawker caught it and tagged the runner out, ending the game. Patrick Henry took a 3-1 lead in the third inning behind the offensive prowess of Radcliffe and Mitchell. Prokopis led off the inning with a single, and was brought home by a twoout triple by Radcliffe, her second extra-base hit of the game. Mitchell singled home Radcliffe for her second RBI base hit of the game, and to extend the Patriots’ lead. The lead held until the fifth, where Lee-Davis rallied to go ahead. Hayli Wagner drew a walk to lead off the inning and was moved over by Childress’ sacrifice. Wagner took a wide turn around second base, drawing a throw from first – but the ball skipped into the outfield, allowing Wagner to score on the play. Two batters later, Sydney Guess singled, clearing the way for Hawker. The junior catcher grooved a pitch into deep rightcenterfield and ran the bases hard. As the throw came in from the outfield, Guess crossed the plate and Hawker headed Dave Lawrence/The Local for home. Lee-Davis catcher Logan Hawker tags Patrick Henry baserunner Erin White out at home in the top of the seventh inning to stop a “I saw that coach just kept potential tying run and end the game with a 5-4 Confederate victory over the visiting Patriots Thursday. reeling me in, so I just kept on out on a strikeout and a sacri- opposing pitcher Charlotte to round third and head home [Childress] come up with it, going,” Hawker said.

St. George strikes out 13 as Atlee-beats L-D change-up and off-speed pitches until later in the game, preferably the Confederates’ third time through the lineup. It seemed to be effective, except for the couple of times St. George smiled and tapped her chest. There was one in particular. “Amanda called a changeup and I threw a hard curve at her, and she dropped it, and I thought I missed my spot on a curve,” said St. George. “She comes in the dugout and said, ‘Peyton, I called a change-up,’ and I said, ‘I’m so sorry. I just threw it in there 60 miles per hour and you were expecting 40.’ “People will see like oh, the catcher missed the ball, but really there is a lot of fault on the pitcher too in that, so you have to work together.” And when she messes up, she let’s her catcher know, even if the spectators can’t tell. “My rises sometimes just don’t rise and my curves don’t curve,” said St. George. So she taps her chest with an occasional “my bad.” “I’ve just got to let her know that I’ll fix it on the next one.” Brad Bess can be reached at bbess@timesdispatch.com.
By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – When Peyton St. George is in the circle, occasionally she’ll smile and tap her chest after a pitch. Sometimes she’ll quietly add “my bad.” It’s the Atlee pitcher’s way of apologizing to catcher Amanda Bohannon for not throwing exactly what the two had planned. St. George didn’t have many bads on April 3 when she struck out 13 and held No. 2 LeeDavis to two hits in the No. 1 Raiders 4-0 victory over the Confederates at Lee-Davis. Jordan Durbin hit an RBI triple and Atlee scored three runs on one hit in the fifth inning to hand the Confederates their first loss of the season in a rematch of last year’s 5A state semifinal game. “It was huge last year. It’s huge this year,” said Atlee coach Tom McIntyre. Atlee is 6-0, but the challenge presented by its crosstown rival was something the Raiders needed after they outscored their first five opponents 47-1. “We were craving this game. We needed this game,” said McIntyre. “We needed that team that’s going to challenge us, make us work, that’s going to make us step up. We don’t want to be flat. We want to be strong and positive and moving forward, and when you play great teams like this, it forces you to step up and get better.” Durbin broke the scoreless tie in the top of the third. April Hooper led off the inning by ripping a double down the third-base line. With one out, Durbin drove a pitch to deep right-center, Hooper scored and Atlee took a 1-0 lead.

C-feds walk away with 11th-inning victory By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Both Lee-Davis and Patrick Henry had their share of missed opportunities Thursday night. The two long-time crosscounty baseball rivals locked horns in a game moved from Patrick Henry because of wet field conditions. Neither team wanted to lose. Both failed to make good on opportunities to win. Until the 11th inning, when Braden Lambert drew a basesloaded walk to bring in the winning run in the Confederates’ 2-1 victory. “I think both teams competed hard on a windy night, chilly night,” said Lee-Davis head coach Tyler Johnson. “We made enough plays to get the job done. He said the wind, blowing in from center field, played a role in the game. “As a hitter it was kind of frustrating because no matter how hard you hit it, the ball wasn’t going to go anywhere,” Johnson said. He credited the Patrick Henry’s pitchers, too, in holding the Confederates to just seven hits. The Lee-Davis duo of starter Jacob Stanley and

reliever Matthew Holler held the Patriots to just four hits. “Their pitchers did an excellent job,” Johnson said. “Situational hitting was a little
tough for us and for PH.” In the situational hitting department, Lee-Davis stranded 13 baserunners while Patrick Henry stranded eight.
Some excellent defense – such as an unassisted double play by Patrick Henry third baseman Hunter Hart when Lee-Davis had the bases loaded
with no outs – also played a role in keeping the score knotted for so long. “Hunter had a big play,” said Patrick Henry head coach
Sam Hart. “I thought momentum had really changed when Hunter made that play. It really did. It just didn’t work out.” Four Patriot pitchers combined for 10 strikeouts on the night, including starter Hunter Hart with five strikeouts, two walks and on unearned run in four innings of work. Stanley, in five innings on the mound for Lee-Davis, finished finished with five strikeouts, two walks and one unearned run. Holler, in six innings of relief, struck out seven and walked one in earning the win. With the score tied 1-1, Lee-Davis shortstop Sam Lyttle opened the bottom of the 11th by betting hit by a pitch. Dallas Jackson sacrificed him to second. The Patriots opted to intentionally walk Zach Lass to offer an option of a force out on the bases, but that backfired when Hunter Beck was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Logan Davis then hit into a fielder’s choice, when ended with Lyttle being forced out at home. All the Patriots needed was an out to end the inning, but Lambert drew the walk that ended the game.

MECHANICSVILLE – LeeDavis’ boys soccer team looked to be coasting to a 2-0 victory over visiting Patrick Henry for the first 20 minutes of the second half of their boys soccer contest Thursday night. The Patriots changed that perception, however, with two
goals – one in the 6rd minute and another in the 67th minute to tie the game. But the Confederates kept fighting, and Alberto Macias took advantage of a Patrick Henry defensive misfire to kick in the winning goal in injury time to lead Lee-Davis to a 3-2 win. Confederate head coach Chris Maimone said the chal-
lenge for him was to keep the team on track after the Patriots tied it up. “The important thing for me was to make sure the boys remained focused,” he said. “It’s never easy to be up two and then, all of a sudden, it’s back to an even game again. They always say 2-0 is the most difficult and most dangerous score to have. We proved that
tonight.” Jack Casey put the Confederates ahead with a pair of goals in the first half., but the Patriots were undaunted. “Patrick Henry is a great squad. They stuck to their game plan and caught us on a couple of occasions,” Maimone said. “But I’m proud of my boys

sure that we’re staying disciplined and doing the things we do every game, and not just letting ourselves do some silly things just because we’re ahead,” Geratowski said. The real highlight of the game midway through the second half, when junior midfielder Sarah Alvanos scored her second goal of the game. While it was meaningless in context of victory, it scored a perfect 10 in the style department. Alvanos weaved her way through defensive traffic in front of the Randolph goal and flipped a shot from behind her back. The trick shot slipped past the Randolph goalie, and the Yellow Jacket bench erupted in cheers. “My dad introduced that shot to me when I was in high school,” Alvanos said. “I was always too scared to try it in practice or especially in a game. I tried it in practice yesterday, and the goalie blocked it. So today I just decided to go for it and it worked.” Saturday was one of those days when everything seemed to work for the Yellow Jackets. Ten different players netted goals. Junior midfielder Alicia Hsieh led the pack with five scores. Junior attacker Alex Lightfoot led in the assist category with six.
All three of the RandolphMacon keepers saw time in net, with Allie Walker earning the win. The victory improved the Yellow Jackets’ record to 74 overall and 4-0 in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. “The goal for us is always to win the conference,” Geratowski said. “We’ve got a really good test coming up against W&L, but we also know that we have to take care of business in every game between now and the rest of the season.”

adversity. I believe we earned a well-deserved win tonight.” Continued from pg. 30 Patrick Henry head coach Daniel McGraw was proud of tonight. They stayed composed his team. “We had made some grievand overcame a little bit of
ous errors in the back and it cost us two goals early in the game, so we stayed down most of the match on that end,” McGraw said. “In the second half we recovered. … We went back-
and-forth for awhile and, for a moment, we gained control of the game.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
By Andrew Spencer for the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – It was a tie game for exactly thirteen seconds. That’s how long it took for the Randolph-Macon women’s lacrosse team to score their first goal against the Randolph Wildcats Saturday at Day Field. Thirteen seconds … and they never trailed in the game that was even more lopsided than the 21-1 final score suggested. “We have a lot of skill on our team,” said Randolph-Macon head coach M.K. Geratowski. “We have a lot of potential. And when we put it all together, we are very, very good.” That potential was on fully display against the Wildcats. The Yellow Jackets notched 36 shots on goal. In contrast, Randolph shooters only managed 1 goal on 4 shots. The Wildcats did not have a single shot on goal in the first half. The Yellow Jackets also recovered 29 ground balls and forced 25 Randolph turnovers, and won 14 of 23 draws. Any coach looks for areas on which to improve following games, but when your team is in full control from the opening draw, those areas are harder to find. “In these types of games, it’s really important for us to make

R-MC Continued from pg. 16
at the Met and as a former president of two liberal arts colleges. He is a strong advocate for liberal arts education, and I know that his career and Commencement message will inspire and deeply resonate with our students.” R-MC also will award Weiss with an Honorary Doctor of Humanities degree at the Commencement ceremony. The college will confer Honorary Degrees on three other distinguished leaders: George Y. Birdsong, CEO and general counsel of the Birdsong Corporation; Dr. John W. Kinney, vice president of Virginia Union University and dean of the School of Theology, and John A. Luke Jr., former chairman and CEO of MeadWestvaco (now WestRock Company). Weiss is the president and interim chief executive of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, leading America’s largest and highly significant art museum. Founded in 1870, the Museum’s collections include more than two million works of art spanning 5,000 years of world culture, from prehistory to the present. In 2016, the Met attracted more than 6.2 million visitors to the Museum and 40 million visits to its website. Weiss earlier served as the 16th president of Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, from 20052013, where he worked to increase the size of the permanent faculty by 10 percent, revised the college’s curriculum, introduced new interdisciplinary programs, and created innovative alliances with the City of Easton. During his tenure, Lafayette became the only college in the nation to receive a collaborative grant from the National Endowment of the Arts under its Urban Arts Initiative. Following his tenure at Lafayette, Weiss served as the 14th president of Haverford College, in Haverford, Pennsylvania, from 2013-2015.
At Haverford, he led efforts to prepare a comprehensive strategic plan and secure the funds to support new interdisciplinary initiatives and major renovations to the library, new facilities for biology, psychology and music, as well as a new center for visual culture, arts and media. Weiss is a leading voice on liberal arts colleges in a changing higher education landscape. Weiss was the principal speaker at President Lindgren’s inauguration on Oct. 27, 2006. Weiss also served as the James B. Knapp Dean of the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts & Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University, where he had previously served as professor and then chair of the History of Art Department. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in art history from Johns Hopkins and joined the JHU faculty in 1993. He earned his B.A. from The George Washington University and his M.B.A. from the Yale School of Management. He also served as a consultant with Booz, Allen & Hamilton from 1985-1989. Weiss has written or edited five books and numerous articles on the art of the Middle Ages and other topics. He is vice chair of the Board of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, a member of the Advisory Board of the Yale School of Management, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a trustee at both the Library of America and the Shipley School in Bryn Mawr. Birdsong, the CEO and general counsel of Birdsong Corporation, will receive the Honorary Doctor of Humanities degree. He earned his B.A. from Washington & Lee University and his law degree from the University of Virginia. After graduation, he practiced law in Suffolk with the Godwin & Godwin law firm. In 1965, he went to work for Birdsong Peanuts, a family business, serving first as secretary-treasurer and holding various officer positions before becoming CEO in 1999.
Birdsong has been involved in U.S. peanut industry organizations and issues throughout his career, including the Virginia-Carolina Shellers Association and the Peanut Genomic Initiative. The Birdsong family’s contributions to R-MC are numerous. Birdsong Hall is named for Thomas H. Birdsong III (Class of 1949) and the Birdsong Corporation. The Birdsong family and Corporation have supported Birdsong Hall, the Birdsong Peaks of Excellence Center, the Birdsong Townhouses, the Birdsong Field House, Brock Commons, and the new science building under construction. Birdsong is related to a number of R-MC alumni, including his son, David, Class of 1990; brothers William, Class of 1956, and Cabell, Class of 1958; nephews Everett, Class of 1984, and William, Class of 1982; and cousins, Martha B. Trapani, Class of 1989, Thomas III, Class of 1949, McLemore, Class of 19 66, Spencer, Class of 19 67, Franklin, Class of 1956, Austin Darden, Class of 1958, and G. Richardson Joyner III, Class of 1985. His late father, William, Class of 1922, and late uncles, Thomas Jr., Class of 1920, Hall, Class of 1925, McLemore, Class of 1934, and Harvard, Class of 1931, also were R-MC alumni. His two grandsons, Carrington, Class of 2017, and Benton, Class of 2019, Wentz, are current R-MC students, and his daughter, Anne Cabell Pearce, serves as chair of the R-MC Parents Board and on the College Board of Trustees. Birdsong is an active member of numerous organizations. From 1989 - 2010, he served on the Virginia Wesleyan College Board of Trustees, and as its chairman from 2007-2010. He now holds the distinction of Trustee Emeritus at the College. Since 1996, Birdsong has served as a member of the Board of Trustees, and for two years as chairman of the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges,
an effective leader in the Commonwealth to advance the values and strengths of the state’s 15 private, undergraduate liberal arts colleges and raise millions of dollars annually from the private sector to enhance support for independent institutions like Randolph-Macon College.
