Supervisors still battling Peace seeks return county road funding issues to 97th House seat

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

MIKE FLAGG Public Works director

HANOVER – The Hanover County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a $440.5 million Fiscal Year 2018 budget last week.

The new budget addresses pressing Fire/EMS issues, bolsters

the Sheriff’s Office, and provides initial funds required to revamp the school system’s technology and information systems.

Vice Chair Sean Davis, Henry District, said this year’s budget is “the best one I’ve seen in the five years I’ve been here.�

But, Davis and other members of the board are express-

ing reservations regarding the approved budget’s inability to address vital road issues in the county.

State funding cuts for road building prompted the county’s Community Development Board to suggest options to see ROAD, pg. 7

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

LETTERS

When is trying to help considered intrusive?

| Reader Views

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor He exited the grocery store on a motorized scooter with his purchases and pulled up beside his vehicle. Moving slowly, he methodically organized the bags and gradually loaded them into his SUV. The urge to offer assistance was overwhelming, but there was that hesitance of not wanting to insult him by inserting myself into his independence.

As I’ve aged, I’ve certainly become more sensitive to the elderly — nearly breaking into tears when I see a man or woman alone trying to manage lives many of us take for granted.

I find myself wondering about their circumstances and praying they aren’t alone.

I know I am blessed to have a healthy 86-yearold mother, who is extremely active, still drives and, as a matter of fact, was grocery shopping while I waited (this ankle situation is still an issue).

Watching more and more elderly people exit with their groceries, my mind started going in so many directions in regards to their lives.

That’s when my eyes got a bit teary, worrying about whether someone was at home when they returned or if family members or friends keep a check on them.

Back to the initial thought. I felt sad and guilty after the gentleman loaded his groceries, managed to get off the scooter, and drove off. Yes, I should have at least offered to help him.

Even though I’m still limping, I could have assisted him with his groceries.

There’s no doubt in my mind that I erred in not offering to help. Trust me, that won’t happen again. I consider myself a people person and, more importantly, a Christian.

We should help when we can. I recently decided to give money to those who may be considered panhandlers. I don’t know how their lives came to that point. But I do know that whatever their circumstances may be, I can help — and should.

I’m not wealthy but the Lord provides and I’m beyond the age of giving back. Moving forward, I will step up and offer aid — and I’ll give cash to someone in need.

The bottom line is we should simply be kind to one another every day. If we have the resources to do for those in need, then that’s exactly the path we should take. I know I will.

John Glenn’s relationship with Annie was real hero

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist A celebrated American couple celebrated their 74th wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago.

As Annie Glenn sat in a drizzling rain watching her husband’s flag-draped coffin ceremoniously and respectfully placed above an open grave at Arlington National

Cemetery, the heart of a nation stopped to remember … and recognize one of America’s greatest heroes, John Glenn.

As news commentators tallied the long list of accomplishments achieved by the former astronaut turned U.S. senator turned humanitarian, my thoughts turned to the special relationship the Glenns enjoyed for so

many years, and the challenges they met together.

The two seemed destined to spend a lifetime together from the earliest beginnings in New Concord, Ohio.

Their parents were best friends, so little Johnny and Annie often were placed in the playpen, side-by-side.

After they married, Glenn pursued his career as a test pilot and was

eventually named as one of the seven original Mercury astronauts.

While Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth, Annie stayed home in Arlington, Virginia, and raised their two children. Her husband routinely made the trip home from his training base at Langley. see HERO, pg. 8

Resident: Fowler refusing credits for basic studies Del. Buddy Fowler, the champion voter repressionist, now wants to punish immigrant kids with limited English proficiency by refusing to let them earn credit for marginal failures in reading, writing, and math. See his No-vote in House Bill 936.

Nevertheless, the gerrymandered 55th District representative is all heart.

He wants us to pray for these students.

See his Yes-vote on prayer in House Joint Resolution 762.

Del. Fowler’s unwillingness to cut a little slack for bilingual kids suggests a position that Virginia should prefer one type of child over another.

His vote against HB 936 implies that immigrant students are not deserving of a plan that serves their unique needs. This unfortunate, provincial position held by Delegate Fowler is discriminatory. It ignores the fact that elected officials are responsible for serving all of their constituents, not just a chosen few.

Successful schools that are most effective are the ones that take into consideration the unique needs of all children. Perhaps prayers for these immigrant kids might help. Let us hope so. It appears that’s all they’re going to get from Del. Fowler. They should have chosen different parents.

So pray for these kids. It will make Jesus proud and it won’t cost a dime.

“There is potential for that gap being funded,” Flagg said.

Another major source of road funding for the county also is experiencing diminishing revenue streams. Revenue sharing, a process that allows localities to pay one-half of estimated costs for approved projects while the Commonwealth supplies the remaining half, was funded at $108 million last year. Requests totaled almost twice that amount.

Flagg told the supervisors that widenings on Pole Green and Atlee Station roads should be funded by 2030.

Funding for the remaining $54 million worth of identified road needs in Hanover is uncertain, at best, and Flagg asked supervisors to approve a motion that allows County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu”

DOUBLE THE STANDARD WARRANTY!

Harris Jr. and County Attorney Sterling Rives to contact localities across the state with a focus on organizing a “funding coalition” that would encourage legislators to increase state road funding.

Even though the motion gained unanimous approval, some supervisors said it would not solve the problem.

“I really hope we can get the General Assembly to take secondary roads seriously,” Cold Harbor supervisor Scott Wyatt said. “I do not want to place that burden on the taxpayers of Hanover County.”

Ashland supervisor Faye Prichard agreed, but cited the need to identify a permanent local funding mechanism to address transportation needs.

“I certainly support the General Assembly living up to their duty to take care of local roads,” she said. “However, I think we need to acknowledge that wherever they give us see ROAD, pg. 17

for funds for the latest round of Smart Scale projects totaled more than $8 billion.

The Sliding Hill Road project was funded in the first round of Smart Scale allotments, but the U.S. 360 project has not fared as well.

The latest round of funding did supply funds for the Caitland Road project, an improvement that triggered the state’s safety rating, but funding for U.S. 360 was not available.

Flagg indicated there may be light at the end of the tunnel for funding the U.S. 360 project following a concerted effort by county officials to reopen an examination of the improvements.

“It’s very unique,” Flagg said describing the 360 project. “It’s been a longstanding priority for the county and had funding allocated. It seems unreasonable that it didn’t make the list.”

He screens calls, so only gets asked softball questions.

HERO Continued from pg. 6

While that first group of astronauts, and the ones who followed, gained a reputation for jet setting adventures in fast, shiny sports cars, Glenn was the notable exception. He drove an old compact car that often drew the jeers of his fellow astronauts as they pulled away in their Corvettes.

But, they knew John Glenn had something much more important than the flash of the pan of a squealing tire or the limelight of a flash bulb-filled night club.

He had Annie, who he described as his launching pad. Equally important, she had him.

You’ll make a loop into the Belmont Bay section of the Potomac River with a good chance of seeing some American bald eagles.

This day trip is from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 19, with a registration deadline of Friday, April 28, or as space permits.

Trip cost is $138 per person and includes all motor coach fees, lunch and refreshments.

Next on the itinerary is a musical excursion sound to celebrate the songs that have become part of our lives.

Broadway shined with the wholesome appeal of “Carousel,” “The King and I,” “South Pacific,” “The Sound of Music,” “Oklahoma!” and more.

On Wednesday, July 12, jump on the motor coach to Fredericksburg to the Riverside Center Dinner Theatre for Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein productions of glorious, genuine hits.

You’ll hear more than just a stunning collection of over 30 iconic compositions,

this show features the songs as dialogue between five performers as they develop their personalities and express their perspectives on relationships.

A plated lunch will be enjoyed before the matinee.

This trip lasts from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., is $131 per person, and includes all motor coach fees, lunch and refreshments.

Registration deadline is June 9, or as space permits.

Senior travelers are invited to embark on these tailored one-of-a-kind trips.

Preregistration and payment is required in advance for all trips.

He suppresses dissent.

Is the congressman so unsure of his beliefs and so afraid to defend his voting record that he won’t talk in an

Have an open, in-person town hall, Congressman.

your constituents reasonable, advance notice? After all, elections are coming.

The notoriety of those Mercury astronauts was welcomed by most of the participants, but Annie approached the new-found notoriety with a fear with which few of us could relate.

Suffering from a crippling stutter since childhood, Annie chose her friends carefully.

She recalled in her book that many of those friends would finish sentences for her in an effort to console her inability to speak.

She noted that John always waited for her to finish her sentence, no matter how long it took to complete. He shielded her from the prying eyes of a press that couldn’t understand her hesitancy to enter the spotlight that notoriety brings.

Through it all, John and Annie Glenn forged a partnership that served as a model for couples seeking a sound and lifelong relationship based on love and respect.

She willingly entered the public arena again in 1998 when her husband again placed his name in the annals of American heroes.

At at a time when many his age were learning to like oatmeal, or getting fitted for a snuggly-fitting diaper, Glenn again entered space on Shuttle Discovery, becoming the oldest person to travel in space.

Along the way, Glenn found time to serve his beloved Ohio as its U.S. senator.

Again, Annie graciously assumed the role of a senator’s

wife, and in her unassuming and dignified way, placed her signature on that role.

As Annie sat among family and friends, as Glenn was buried with full military honors, no one noticed the small diamond ring on her left ring finger.

It’s the same ring that John purchased with his last $125 when they were engaged.

According to a 2013 newspaper article, her husband offered on many occasions to replace the modest ring, but Annie liked it just the way it was.

“It’s shiny, and he picked it out,” she said. “I don’t need anything larger to make me happy.”

And neither did he.

Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz will be filming in Virginia as “American Pickers” spotlights the world of antique “picking” on History.

‘American Pickers’ filming in Virginia next month Staff Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND — The documentary series, “American Pickers,” will be filming in Virginia next month.

“American Pickers,” with Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, plan to film throughout the region in May. The series explores the world of antique “picking” on History.

Wolfe and Fritz are considered two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques. They said they are always excited to find sizeable, unique collections and learn the interesting stories behind them.

As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Wolfe and Fritz said they are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics.

Along the way, the Pickers want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptional items.

The pair hopes to give historically significant objects a new lease on life, while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.

Wolfe and Fritz have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before. They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them.

“American Pickers” is looking for leads and welcomes a large, private collection or accumulation of antiques that the Pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through.

To be considered for the documentary, send your name, phone number, location and description of the collection with photos to: americanpickers@cineflix.com or call 855OLD-RUST.

Parks and Rec receives overview of master plan

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — Ashland Clerk of Council Joseph Collins, along with the support of Town Manager Joshua Farrar, presented an overview of upcoming discussion items

“We have a big increase in the amount of money we are putting towards trails — actually doubling the amount of money that we have now.”

JOSHUA COLLINS Clerk of Council

to the Parks and Recreation Committee at a regular meeting Thursday, April 14.

The meeting started with an outline of Ashland’s master plan.

“The Town of Ashland seeks to be an attractive community for people of diverse backgrounds to live, work, shop and play – with play being an important factor in the health and happiness of Ashland’s residents,” states the current master plan vision statement.

Collins told the committee that he essentially cleaned up the organization and format of the master plan; changing headings and organizing text to make it more reader-friendly.

Collins and Farrar then outlined to committee members the Parks and Recreation Fiscal Year 2018 budget and other capital items. The Parks and Recreation budget recently was adopted along with the town manager’s budget through an appropriations resolution by Ashland Town Council.

The reality is that we are going to need to find some kind of funding stream and I’m afraid stickers are the fairest way to do that.”

Last year, thanks to the contributors to the Blue Moon Bash, the Hanover Democratic Committee was able to contribute over $10,000 to Democratic candidates running to represent Hanover County.

Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley supported the motion, and said he would not support a recently aired plan to restore a vehicle tax in Hanover County.

“I would not support putting stickers on, because I’m

not going to take back something that I gave,” he said.

Chair Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District, said she supports all options regarding road funding, but elaborated with a dose of reality.

ue to hope that the money will appear or do we want to be honest with our citizens and think about where we are going to get the money to make the improvements?” she asked.

Davis has been openly

skeptical about requesting more funding from the state.

He has no objection to the process, but said he thinks the attempts are futile as state funds for transportation continue to decrease.

“I just think going and

asking the people who are not giving us the money to give us the money… won’t make the money come in,” Davis said. “The one thing it does do is let the citizens know we did everything possible.”

Counties partner for Child Abuse Prevention Month HANOVER — In recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Hanover Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program will be distributing educational materials at both Hanover and Caroline County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts.

CASA also has partnered with Hanover Community Services Board to plant pinwheel gardens at various county offices.

The pinwheel is a newer symbol for child abuse prevention and reflects childhood hope, health and happiness.

CASA worked with youth during the Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) kickoff to make pinwheels to be distributed at the courthouses.

A cardboard “house” was built and youth were asked what they believe constitutes a safe and stable home. These houses with the youths’ responses are on display at both Hanover and Caroline County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts.

Abused and neglected children are less likely to be school-ready and more likely to exhibit behavior disorders, to become teen parents, to abuse alcohol and drugs and to enter the juvenile justice system.

Child abuse and neglect are often characterized as part of a cycle, because many people may act toward their children the way they were treated by their own parents. Breaking this cycle

ally doubling the amount of money that we have now,” Collins said.

He also said that $150,000 has been positioned to go towards the Carter Park Pool renovations; noting that it will go towards a snack bar at the pool, or the pool.

Town council decided to push back the start date of the big pool. Farrar said it would be budgeted for in fiscal year 2018-2019. The presentation stated that email had been sent to swim team representatives.

Their presentation also mentioned that lifeguard orientation has been set for April 20 and May 9, and that interviews will be held before orientations.

Opening day for the 2017 Carter Park Pool season is May 27, and a ribbon cutting ceremony will be held for the new kiddie pool and bathhouse.

Collins told committee members that he would send them more information once they obtain more information.

Coming directly out of the master plan itself, Collins explained that $27,500 would go towards the replacement fund for all of Ashland’s parks that have playgrounds.

Grant funds in the amount of $1,640,000 issued by the state will be used to construct the historic Ashland trolley line, which Farrar recently explained in his town manager’s budget as capital project funds – not stemming from residents’ tax dollars.

Farrar and Collins also proposed that a property near West Vaughan Road and Henry Street as a potential site for North Ashland Park.

“I couldn’t help but notice that space and think – ‘that’s really attractive’,” Farrar said.

The site is privately owned, and committee members said they loved the idea and sug-

gested that it would be a good idea to start having conversations with the property owner.

Updates were provided on the current status of the Ashland Skate Park, as well as some improvements that are needed for safety measures.

The town had a professional who sells skate park ramps, Dustin Nash with American Ramp Company, examine the park’s condition, and said that “surprisingly, it was in great shape,” Collins quoted.

He said the park is in great shape for its age, and could survive another three to five years. Collins added that most wooden ramps in this climate rarely survive 10 years.

The ramp strapping has been replaced, and the skate park has been reopened.

Collins told the committee that he would send out an email of all the changes that he made and just presented, and suggested a deadline of one week for committee members to respond.

Hanover wins rematch of state title game

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover’s Nick Zona had stepped up to the plate three times before in the Hawks’ rematch Thursday night against fellow VHSL Group 4A state finalist Liberty Christian.

He put the ball in play those three times, with little to show for it: two groundouts to second base and a flyout to third base.

The fourth time, in the bottom of the eighth inning, Zona was looking at two strikes, two outs, and a runner, Will Lopez, at third. He really wanted to get a hit – and he did.

Zona earned a postgame dogpile and drenching by grooving a pitch off of Bulldog reliever Jacob Williams into shallow right field to score Lopez and end the game with a 4-3 victory for the Hawks.

Zona said he knew what kind of pitch to look for.

“I was watching the at-bats before, and he was throwing to hitters mainly fast balls. His curveball wasn’t really in the zone much,” Zona said. “I knew he was going to come in with a fastball at some point because he had just thrown me two breaking balls in a row – they were both out and away. I was hunting for a fastball.”

When he got it, Zona – who had made contact in each of his three previous at-gats – rapped

30

it again, dropping it into shallow right field for a single and a game-winning RBI. The two teams last met in the VHSL Group 4A state championship game at Liberty University in June. It was a wild, see-saw affair with plenty of action and a result that was in doubt up to the last out.

It was much the same when the two teams met for the rematch on the Hawks’ home diamond. Hanover spotted the Bulldogs three runs in the third inning on one play. Two runners – Connor Austin and Noah Robbins – came in on a single by Williams that was very nearly an out. Williams was caught in a rundown while trying to stretch the hit into a double.

While the Hawks focused on getting Williams out, courtesy runner Christian Gordon,

slipped into home.

“That’s something we’ve got to tighten up. If we’re going to win a championship, we’ve got to play better team defense,” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum. “We like to see them swing the bat to score runs, not us throw them around the bases.”

But the Hawks scored three runs of their own to tie the

game in the bottom of the inning on four hits and an error.

Liberty Christian went ahead by a run in the sixth inning, but Hanover sent the game in to extra innings with a twoout single by Michael Warley to drive in Jack Chenault.

“I thought our guys played well and pitched well all night.

We just didn’t get the right breaks at the right time,” said

Bulldog head coach Randy Tomlin. “We were down to one strike from winning the game when the guy put the barrel on the ball and put it through the middle to tie it.”

Mulvena sacrifice clinches sweep of Hornets

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – When Randolph-Macon’s softball team began its half of the seventh inning of their doubleheader nightcap against visiting Shenandoah Saturday, the Yellow Jackets seemed headed for a 5-1 defeat.

They changed that perception with four runs that inning to tie it, then claimed a 6-5 victory – and doubleheader sweep – over the Hornets when Brandi Mulvena hit a sacrifice fly to center field to score Jen Balcom.

The Yellow Jackets improved to 27-7 (10-6 Old Dominion Athletic Conference) with the win while Shenandoah dropped to 10-26, 5-13.

Randolph-Macon stumbled in the fifth inning when an error led ultimately to four unearned runs that broke what had been a 1-1 tie.

“It was a real gut-check for our kids because we’ve been playing without some kids that are normally in the lineup – but I was totally comfortable with making the changes we had to make in order to replace those kids,” said Randolph-Macon head coach Kevin Proffitt. “In the second game, we had that one inning that was terrible. We kind of imploded a little bit.

“It is what it is. We didn’t make some plays. We walked a couple of runs in. But then we

really made up for it in the bottom of the seventh.”

Among the players the Yellow Jackets had to replace was pitcher Candace Whittemore.

Cameron Thompson earned a complete game victory in the

unearned – before Thompson relieved her to earn her second win of the day.

In the seventh, Shenandoah pitcher Katherine Seidl seemed to run out of gas. She opened the inning by hitting

Randolph-Macon pinch hitter Taylor Sandiford with a pitch.

Sandiford advanced to second on a groundout by Casey Abernethy and moved to third on a single by Kerstin Roth.

bases.

Savannah Wood was hit by pitch to bring home Sandiford.

Sami Davidson walked to score Roth. After another out, Harley Jones dropped a single down the left field line to score Wood and Mulvena and tie the game.

“I told Harley, because she’s really been struggling at the plate … ‘You’re going to get a chance to make a big difference,” Proffitt said. “Doggone it if she didn’t hit a double right down the line.”

Despite starting off the eighth inning with a runner on second base – according to international tie-breaking rules – the Hornets could not get another run across.

Randolph-Macon began its portion of the inning with Balcom on second base.

Abernethy sacrificed her to third base. Roth walked, then Mulvena hit a fly to center field.

Balcom came in hard, but it was close – it appeared the throw would beat her to home plate – but she slid under the tag by catcher Karli Rorabaugh to score the winning run and end the game.

“It’s been a little bit of a crazy week – even a crazy game – but we stayed in there and fought and battled and ended up, thank goodness, on the right side of the scoreboard,” Proffitt said.
