Reformation’s 500th anniversary observed with sales, blood drive

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor MECHANICSVILLE – St. Paul Lutheran Church will be observing the 500th anniversary of the Reformation on Saturday with a blood drive to signify, as Pastor Rodney Bitely said, “the shed of Jesus’ blood on the Cross of Calvary.”

He said the Lutherans are celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, which was “when Martin Luther on Oct. 31, 1517, posted his ‘Ninety-Five Theses’ on the chapel in Wittenberg, Germany.”

“He wanted to have a debate about what was going on in the church (Roman Catholic) at the time that was ultimately known as the Reformation,” Bitely said.

With the 500th anniversary, he said churches throughout the Richmond area are taking part in a blood drive, which

will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The church, located at 8100 Shady Grove Rd. in Mechanicsville, also will be holding its Annual Spring Yard Sale from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Bitely said the sale is unique in that everything is being sold for $1. The rain or shine event will feature clothes, books, toys, baby items, NASCAR memorabilia, and lawn and garden items. Hot dogs and drinks also will be available for purchase, as well as baked goods.

The pastor also said that the “all for $1 sale is an idea they picked up from another Lutheran Church in Northern Virginia to help folks in need.”

With Virginia Blood Services on-site, Bitely said “People can shop and take part in the sale” and then take advantage of an “easy opportunity to stop by and give a unit of blood.”

Christian school hosts virtual race to benefit autism group Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — Students, staff and community members from the New Hanover Christian School teamed with Reaching 4 Autism Miracles Inc. by hosting a virtual race to celebrate Autism Awareness Month.

The charity event began in March and ended on April 29 with a medal ceremony to celebrate everyone’s accomplishments.

This virtual race could be completed anytime, anywhere during the race window — March 7-April 25.

Participants of any age or ability could walk, jog, run or bike the distance of their choice.

Any distance could be completed at the gym on the treadmill, outside, walking a dog, using a pedometer’s daily steps or at another racing event.

The race did not have to be completed in one day.

Participants could choose to do a 5K in one day or spread out that 3.1 miles by doing one mile a week, biking ½ a mile on the weekends, etc.

During the virtual race, students enjoyed tracking their steps on the playground and even challenged their teachers.

Students took their virtual race with them on their weekend and spring break trips to places like Kings Dominion and Disneyworld see VIRTUAL, pg. 4

where over 6 miles were logged in one day.

Preschoolers also logged miles biking at the beach and in their nieghborhoods.

It was a great opportunity to show the school families how to help others while also spending time together exercising.

Staff and community members challenged one another on who could get the

most steps in one day, did laps around the school together, and were surprised at how many miles they were able to log doing lawn work, going to Costco, at the beach, and walking their dogs.

Some participants were seasoned runners who combined local road races and challenges with the virtual race for charity, while others who aimed to hit a 5K (3.1mile) mark were surprised and proud to be able to hit marathon distance (26.2

miles) by the end of the race.

Participants were emailed their ongoing mileage totals after submitting proof to the race coordinator and also checking the race board at school, which displayed the participants racing on a track.

The students said they loved walking by the board each day to see who was winning.

Overall, all participants logged over 1,595 miles total — all to help raise Autism Awareness through NHCS’s

chosen charity — Reaching 4 Autism Miracles Inc. Reaching 4 Autism Miracles Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded by the parents of a child who was diagnosed with autism at age 3.

After his diagnosis, they learned that there were resources and programs available for their son but were surprised at the costs of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy (O.T.), summer camps, and Autism Advocates.

These resources helped their own child learn to communicate verbally by age 4, and this organization was created to award grants to families so that more people can afford them.

New Hanover Christian School decided to team with Reaching 4 Autism Miracles to help build their grant pool and reach more families who may qualify for financial assistance.

The race registration was completely tax-deductible and will help families who need financial support for the therapy, camps, classes and advocates of their loved ones who have been diagnosed with autism.

A raffle for a donated Kindle Fire 7 kids’ edition and a $100 value package from 3 Sports in Short Pump also

raised money for grants.

On Saturday, April 29, a medal ceremony was held at NHCS to celebrate completing the race, receive medals, announce raffle winners, surprise drawings, and have a lunch donated by Brunette Express 301 and The Law Office of Jeremy J. Milo, PLLC. Each participant received a goody bag from Reaching 4 Autism Miracles Inc. and prizes were donated by various local businesses.

Sponsors included: Gold Level – Stevi B’s; Reaching 4 Autism Miracles Inc.; Walmart (King’s Charter); New Hanover Christian School; Kreggers Tab and Table; Brunetti Express 301; and 3Sports Triathlon Shop (Short Pump).

Bronze Level – Jumpology; Kroger (Rutland); The Law Office of Jeremy J. Milo, PLLC; Food Lion (King’s Charter) Rob and Ann Marie Morasco; Marty’s Grill; Nathan & Emily Wedlock; and Deluxe Nails & Spa. During the event, participants wore blue to “Light It Up Blue for Autism Awareness.”

Puzzle pieces were used during raffles and drawings as reminders that autism is like a puzzle — a large mystery that may never be “solved.”

Just as each puzzle piece is unique and different, each person diagnosed with autism is different than the other — no two cases are alike.

The spectrum of verbal and nonverbal abilities, challenges and set-backs is so large that autism cannot be labeled into one category.

Educate, Advocate, Understand, and Love were 4 of the puzzle pieces that were addressed during this Autism Awareness Month culmination, and the hope is that more people have had a chance to think differently about autism and learn from it.

The students were reminded that their race helped other children their age be able to go to special camps and that they should be proud that they helped others.

New Hanover Christian School is a preschool for ages 2½ through age 6 and would like to invite other area preschools and local celebrities to participate in their virtual race next year.

Vendors and businesses who would like to donate their goods or services to next year’s event are invited to join in the early planning process.

Interested parties can look at the public Facebook page — Running 4 Autism Miracles and send a participation inquiry.

If you know a family that may qualify for a grant from Reaching 4 Autism Miracles, direct them to www.reachingforautism.com. Applicants do not have to be local to Mechanicsville and can access the grant application online. Grants are awarded annually.

Rino Balducci makes sure city remembers impact of Italians

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local RICHMOND — “It’s great to be back in the old neighborhood,” Rino Balducci said as he worked his way through a small crowd of acquaintances gathered at Ann Hardy Plaza at Pollock Park to recognize a portion of Highland Park that played a vital role for Italian immigrants living in Richmond at the turn of the 20th century.

Adjacent blocks of the community that surrounds the Plaza were once home to a community of Italian immigrants who settled in Richmond. Some were stonemasons and artisans from Tuscany, while others brought their unique knowledge of food and opened restaurants in the Richmond area.

Rino’s father, Umberto, was one of those early immigrants who migrated to

with the Batini Social Club and St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church, became the heart of a vibrant Italian community in Highland Park beginning in the 1920s.

“My Daddy came here in 1905,” Rino said. “He opened up a restaurant with $200.”

In 1925, the Italian restaurateur purchased a farm near what is now Highland Park and built his Italian style villa. In the years that followed, many of his sons and daughters built homes on that property, including Rino.

The elder Balducci built a 17-room villa on the property to accommodate his 12 sons and daughters.

“It turned into a flourishing villa, typical of villas in Italy,” Rino told the assembled group at Pollock Park. “He planted all kinds of fruit trees … and grew all kinds of vegetables and herbs,” explaining that his mother used the herbs in delicious recipes your taste buds will thank you.”

Pole Green Park is located at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville.

That villa became a gathering spot for Richmond’s Italian community. “His Italian friends would visit, and he knew just about all of them,” Rino said.

While men debated who made the best wine, children played and women cooked as the villa filled with visitors, Rino recalled.

“The Italians in Highland Park maintained their culture, helped each other, and raised their families to become good American citizens,” Rino said.

On Sunday, a group of former residents of the old neighborhood gathered for the unveiling of a state historical marker recognizing the accomplishments of this segment of Richmond’s population.

Saying ‘Thank you’ to those who matter

Mom takes unique approach in how they celebrate

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor He was dressed in camouflage fatigues sitting quietly in the waiting room when he caught my eye.

As my mother was getting seated, I approached him and said, “Thank you.” He seemed surprised and asked, “For what?” I immediately responded, “Your service.”

He humbly, with his head tilted a bit downward, said, “Thank you.”

Coming from a family filled with military veterans, the conversation launched with me talking about my uncle being on the USS Raleigh when Pearl Harbor was bombed and a female cousin

breaking that glass ceiling in the late 1970s or early 1980s by becoming a Blackhawk helicopter pilot. I then asked him if he had served overseas.

Again, with his head somewhat bowed, he said “Yes” in a hushed tone.

I did not pursue his military service as it was obvious he was comfortable talking about veterans and the sacrifices, but his story was one he did not seem prepared to share. So, in a moment that is so not me, I did not ask him anything else about his service.

Mom and I continued to share stories about the service in my father’s family. I can never resist telling about the heroics of Dad’s oldest brother at Pearl Harbor and the second eldest who did

everything he could to avoid service (he even jumped in a river about 30 miles from our hometown in an attempt to escape).

The soldier, whose last name eludes me a little more than a week later, was a true gentleman, a fine example of our country’s military. It was a pleasure to talk with him and when Mom was called back into the doctor’s exam room, I stood and once again thanked him.

This is probably the third time I’ve written about such encounters. With each, I’ve received a blessing in acknowledging their efforts.

Like the “I love you” theme in last week’s column, add “Thank you” to your routine when you see someone who has or is serving our country.

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted “To my children on Mother’s Day.” Mothers Day is a day meant for moms just like me. Without my children this day would not be. For they are the very reason I celebrate, having them defines me.

I proudly wear the title even after I am long gone.

A mom worth her heart and soul knows what an honor it is to simply be called “mom”.

A card is nice, flowers even better but don’t you see I have the best gift ever. As other women celebrate with their moms I embrace this Mother’s Day as Hailey, Corinne and Cassie’s mom! I share this day with them “When you feel it’s time for the because with each passing year I know chair, let me know and we’ll adjust. I how special they make me feel.

My real gift and reward is from just want you to know it’s OK to ask an unexpected “I love you” or sneakfor help.” ing in a random hug or kiss. A joke I “I will,” he replied.

Christmas came and went and his see LETTERS, pg. 8 gait widened and tiny curbs became large obstacles, but we kept making that walk to the car, slower and slower each time.

Last week Jack did something he’s never done before. He asked to use the wheelchair for the walk to the car.

One step at a time has special meaning to some

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist How many steps do you take in a lifetime? I bet you’ve never really thought about it, but it’s been on my mind a lot lately.

For the past 12 months, I’ve watched my son’s ability to walk steadily decline, and each step has become more labored and difficult.

For every Duchenne patient, this is a time in their life when the disease (Muscular Dystrophy) begins a process of taking things away from them.

Things they once knew and loved, enjoyed and treasured are snatched from them one by one until there is nothing left.

We’ve lived with the knowledge that time would eventually claim Jack’s ability to walk, and other things would follow, but I’m not sure I ever took the time to appreciate or fully inhale the steps he’s taken up to this point, each one with a dogged determination and gutsy approach that can only be described as heroic.

But, life goes on day-to-day, and,

each morning, my two girls and Jack would prepare for school and take the long walk from my condo to the car and eventually to school.

Although the walk from my front door to the parking lot is less than a block, the girls often leave Jack and me in the dust as our pace gets slower and slower. I noticed him struggling more and more with the walk, leaving him exhausted and weak when completed.

So, we had a talk several months back.

Human trafficking problem tops Community Resources program ASHLAND – Human trafficking is the second fastest growing criminal industry in the United States.

A harrowing statistic presented by the Hanover County Department of Community Resources on April 25 during a panel program was that one out of every six runaways could become victims of the sex trafficking industry within 48 hours of leaving home.

Jen Miller of Safe Harbor, an organization providing support to survivors of sexual and domestic violence, shared statistics proving the issue is close to home.

In 2015, there were 4,136 cases of sex trafficking reported in Virginia, with Richmond being among the top 20 cities.

One major reason is Richmond being in close proximity to the Interstate 95 and Interstate 64 corridors.

Young people are often the victims of this crime.

“There has never been a harder time to be a kid between the ages of 11 and 18 then

right now,” Miller said. “Just being in this age group puts kids at higher risk.”

She noted the insecurities that come along with being that age are magnified by social media, which heightens insecurities predators tend to use to their advantage.

Signs that parents should be on the lookout for with their own teens that may put them at greater risk or indicate possible signs of sex trafficking include history of sexual abuse, history of running away, signs of physical abuse, unstable home environment, presence of older boyfriends or girlfriends, substance abuse of harder drugs, unexplainable presence of gifts such as new clothing, makeup, cell phones, etc., withdrawal or lack of interest in previous activities, and gang involvement, especially in girls.

There are certain red flags that may indicate someone is a victim of human trafficking, Miller said, and should be reported to law enforcement.

These could include:

The person being fearful, anxious, depressed, submissive or paranoid; Signs of physical abuse; Few or no personal possessions; They also may not have control of their own finances; Seemingly they cannot speak for themselves.

Spreading the word and helping to dispel myths about human trafficking will also help.

The panel, which included FBI Special Agent Melvin Gonzalez, Jen Miller, and Mary Hampton Cook of Gray Haven, was organized by the Department of Community Resources in recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Gray Haven provides support for survivors of human trafficking, helps with victim intervention and identification and collaborates with other organizations to help fight human trafficking.

“It really makes me tired in my legs,” he said.

“Sure, no problem. We’ll start this afternoon.”

I laughed on the outside as we finished the walk, but my heart cried as I thought of Jack taking his last steps.

I can’t begin to count the number of things this horrible disease has taken from my family, and, more importantly, Jack.

And as his steps get fewer and farther between, I’ll enjoy each and every one of them, thanking the powers that be for that one tiny miracle… and thinking of the one thing this disease will not steal from us: hope.

tell that everyone gets. A dinner everyone loved, or offering up some advice, a dance party in the kitchen, or talking on the couch.

This Mother’s Day as I sit

I have the same dreams for my son that every father envisions, and no doubt that great things lay ahead for a special child who will accomplish great things in his own way.

But, we could sure use some help on the research and treatment side of things.

Admittedly, the last few years have seen more promising drugs on the horizon and in tests, but actual treatments are still elusive. I believe researchers are closer than ever to finding a drug that will at least arrest the progress of the disease, and allow these kids a decent chance at life.

Until then, we’ll take one step at a time, and treasure each one of them. around with my kids I happily share how much love I feel.

I choose to celebrate my kids on this Mother’s Day! From me to you.

present, and contagious, while his hugs were warm and freely-given.

Examples of Austin’s humanity include sitting up at night to help fellow students with their homework, helping one friend reverse their decision to drop out of college, and learning to help another friend control their panic attacks. The enormity of his loss is palpable in the voices of those who knew and loved

him.

Rain didn’t deter W-HES PTA Earth Day Festival Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

M

ECHANICSVILLE — The WashingtonHenry Elementary School PTA 8th Annual Earth Day Festival was described by organizers as “a smashing success despite the uncooperative weather, which drove the event inside the building.�

In its eight-year history, this is the first time the event was held indoors. “We’ve been very, very lucky with the weather in years past,� said Jennifer Bateman, event dhair, “but this year, with the call for rain all day and the possibility of thunderstorms, we could not risk everyone’s safety.

The administrative staff was incredibly supportive as we figured out where to put 24 activities, 46 vendors, entertainment, food trucks, and a petting zoo.�

The school saw great crowds throughout the

day as people from all over Mechanicsville came out to enjoy what has become a spring tradition.

The family-friendly event does not charge tickets or an entry fee so children (and adults) were free to play games, make crafts, and pet animals as much as they’d like.

Food trucks and a variety of vendors had items for sale.

The event could not have gone on without the support of volunteers from Atlee High School, Deep Run High School, Hanover High School, Lee Davis High School, Boy Scout Troop 544, Girl Scout Troop 557, and the parents and staff of WHES.

The Commonwealth no longer funds state markers and events like Sunday’s unveiling are only possible when citizens become involved.

But, Stankus said it’s important to document the history of Italians in Richmond, especially the group that settled in Richmond’s own “Little Italy” in Highland Park.

She recalls growing up on the block, taking piano lessons in a home directly across from where the unveiling took place, and smelling fresh baked Italian bread throughout the neighborhood.

Stankus said the efforts required to obtain the marker seemed well worth it once she saw the reaction of the people who came to celebrate the unveiling. care, can make them especially vulnerable,” Baker said. “In recognition of April as Child Abuse Prevention Month it was our hope that this training would increase awareness around this issue and help prevent human trafficking.”

“We were camping about an hour and a half from town and made the trip back for this.

That indicates how important it was for my children to understand their heritage,” Gordon said. “It’s like being a part of living history so we’re excited to be here.”

William Martin, director of Richmond’s Valentine Museum, said immigrant communities like the Italians in Highland Park added to the fiber and culture of the city.

“All of the immigrant communities that have come to Richmond have made this a special place,” Martin said. “It’s added to our food, our culture, our architecture, and is part of Richmond’s history.”

Martin said this event would open the door for exploration into other Richmond communities with special ethnic histories.

areas all over town — people who came here braving amazing odds and made contributions to this city that we don’t know. It’s time for all of those stories to come together,” Martin said.

It’s a long way from Vicopisano, Tuscany, to North Highland Park, and the descendants of the families who made that perilous trip who stood and took pride as the marker was unveiled, and a piece of Richmond’s cultural history became permanent.

What resulted has brought a cultural diversity to the city that most appreciate, perhaps best expressed by Hare in his remarks from the podium.

“As my friend from the Valentine said, this would be a very boring country without Italians. What would we eat?

What music would we listen to?”

For Rino, it’s an overdue symbol that finally notes the accomplishments, camaraderie and values of a group of people who fought discrimination and alienation to become an integral part of Richmond’s history.

Jim Hare, director of Survey and Register for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, said the new marker was the result of the community’s involvement and generosity, and thanked the groups involved in its placement.

He noted the Italian influences that dot the city, including the State Capitol building designed after a Roman temple. Like Rome, Richmond is situated on seven hills.

“We owe that heritage to Italy,” Hare said during a brief ceremony at the Plaza Sunday..

The event also was attended

by Signora Catherine Flumiani, First Counselor for Consular and Social Affairs at the Italian Embassy in Washington, D.C. She told attendees she was honored to represent Italy at the ceremony and noted the importance of understanding the heritage.

“It’s important for human beings to be proud of where they came from,” Flumiani said.

After constructing the villa on Young Street that became the hub of the Italian community, Balducci sponsored numerous Italian families who moved to Richmond and lived in apartments in Shockoe Bottom and eventually transitioned to North Highland Park.

Italian immigrant and master artist and sculptor Ferrucio Legnaioli arrived in Richmond about the same time as Balducci and joined him in those efforts.

Establishing a small studio in Scott’s Addition, Legnaioli and his 35 employees provided decorative stonework for many of the city’s iconic buildings. A statue of Christopher Columbus at Byrd Park is just one of the many local examples of his work.

He, too, felt an obligation to share his good fortune and sponsored Italian immigrants.

Ashland approves $15.1 million budget for 2017-18

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – The Fiscal Year 20172018 of $15,123,700 (General Fund, $9,296,100, and CIP, $5,827,600) was approved last week by Ashland Town Council. Members also agreed to the appropriations resolution.

The budget is the financial plan for the coming year’s expenditures, and the funds to be used that are identified in the budget are authorized by the appropriations resolution.

The FY1718 budget needed to be adopted before July 1, or Town Manager Joshua Farrar’s proposed budget would take effect by FARRAR default.

Town staff had recommended adopting the budget and correspond-

ing appropriations resolution.

On Tuesday, May 2, council members also voted in support of the 2017 Ashland Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Clerk of Council Joseph Collins outlined the master plan at an April 14 Parks and Recreation Committee meeting.

“I really appreciate the amount of effort that went into this, [there was] a lot of detail, and I know that there’s some expertise on our parks and rec committee, and a lot of good thought

out ideas … this looks like a good workable [plan], but a foundational plan as well,” said Councilman Steve Trivett.

Collins told council the most “eye opening” result from community engagement meetings that the parks and recreation department had with citizens of the town was that Ashlanders want to see an expansion in regards to the connectivity of trails, sidewalks and bike trails within the town’s limits.

A bike lane system also seemed to be of high interest in their findings, but, more importantly, the connectivity of these town-wide pathways.

“We’ve had several comments about connecting Stony Run Trail to Dejarnette Park,” Collins told council.

Improving the inclusivity of Ashland’s parks systems also was a topic of interest in town residents who participated in the community see BUDGET, pg. 18

engagement event.

Collins emailed a survey to a list of citizens who showed interest in a comprehensive plan review, anyone who had a pool pass at the Carter Park Pool in 2016, as well as posting the survey on the town’s Facebook page.

One of the survey questions asked residents if the Ashland park system met the needs of their household.

While Collins said the results to that question weren’t as positive as the town would have liked, he explained that, in addition to that question, they asked what they would need

Foley said that vendors are a significant part of the Faire’s success, with arts crafts being a big draw. Folks from up and down the East Coast take part.

Some vendors come every year to sell their goods and socialize with new people, including photographers, craft-

ers, artisans, furniture makers, wood workers, seamstresses, bakers and jelly makers.

Along with businesses within Ashland’s corporate limits, local businesses from across Hanover County will be set up on the site to showcase their wares.

for the Ashland park system to meet their household’s needs.

Collins said the majority of the answers that resulted from that survey question were related to expanding the connectivity of the trail, sidewalk and bike path systems in town.

“There were also quite a few that mentioned improving the playground facilities,” he said.

Another question the survey asked residents was to prioritize the town’s six guiding objectives.

Collins said these objectives have since been condensed. He said the answers to that question showed continuing results that suggest the people are mostly interested in expand-

ing the town’s trail system, bike lanes and sidewalks; and the connectivity among them.

In other business, Mayor James Foley addressed the ongoing situation with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) concerning the DC2RVA high-speed rail proposal.

He was interviewed by National Public Radio that morning (May 2), and said “we are trying to be very clear and transparent with the situation with the third rail coming through town.”

“It was a way for the Center to fulfill its mission in promoting arts and education within the community,” said Theresa Bowen, executive director.

Ginna Cullen, a lifelong artist and art educator whose experience includes teaching grades, providing art professional development in several school districts, and teaching book arts at Virginia Commonwealth University, brought the credentials to serve in the juror role.

She also serves as the Central Virginia coordinator for the master of interdisciplinary studies as well as a supervisor for student teachers.

Cullen has hosted hundreds of workshops for educators, including presentations for the National Art Education Association in New York, Boston and Chicago. She also received the 2016 Central Virginia Advocacy Award for Art Education even after she retired from teaching at Louisa County Schools.

She continues her work with school superintendents and administrators to protect and promote the programming of art education.

Wayne Waldrop, president of the Board of Directors at the Center, welcomed guests

Christian rock band “Weak Chain,” indie rock band “Saint Square,” Beaverdam rock band “Mountain Road West,” and rock band “Counterpoint.”

There also will be gymnastics and dancing performances on the stage.

“The Faire will be celebrating dogs in a big way this year.”

The honorable mention was awarded to Susan Cary of Crozier, who submitted a piece called Springtime Cows.

Guests were able to chat with Cullen about the exhibit and works before Waldrop offered closing remarks and extended thanks to participants and attendees.

As a way to celebrate the arts by taking a closer look at a few of the many forms that art can take, guests observed artists portray their knowledge and passion in specific artistic expressions.

The April 29 event included three demonstrations that focused on loom weaving, pastels, and raku pottery.

Demonstrations included artists such as weaver Gigi Spicer giving viewers a closer look into the weaving process, Nancy Tucker exploring the use of pastels, and award-winner Betsy Taylor examining the methods and techniques of raku, an ancient Japanese form of firing glazes.

Tucker is a member of the James River Art League, Metropolitan Richmond Artists Association and the Central Virginia Pastel Society.

She exhibits locally with all these groups.

Bowen said the Center is going to bring back “Music Under the Stars,” an outside event with a live band and food.

History of the Faire

ing commercial food vendors to set up booths at the Faire, they are obligated to donate a percentage of their funds raised to a nonprofit of their choice. If possible, volunteers from the selected nonprofit organization are supposed to work the booth.

As the financial year comes to an end, the directors look at the funds available – holding a certain amount to run the Faire for the following year, donating the rest to local non-profits. “We take a vote, and disperse the ‘extra’ funds.�

The last year they had extra funding, Foley said each director received an application for a grant-for-work that was

As the Ashland Strawberry Faire prepares for its 36th year, it’s important to realize that what started out as a “humble strawberry festival� in 1981 – has grown into a large event that celebrates the strawberry harvest in the region and provides sufficient support to local nonprofit organizations.

Every year, nonprofit organizations can set up their booths at the Faire for a fee.

If the nonprofits aren’t selling anything at their booths, they only pay a small administrative fee.

The Faire also gives away what they call “grants-forwork� each year, where the nonprofits can work the day of the event to earn money for their groups. Foley said applications are offered by the directors to nonprofit organizations. “The main long-term grants are for the work done

by Ashland Fire and EMS, Boy Scouts from Montpelier who help vendors set up and take down, and Comfort Zone Camp whose volunteers help run the Kid Zone,� she said.

To date, fhe Faire committee has donated over $75,000 worth of funds to nonprofit organizations in the area.

As a requirement for allow-

“well-earned for years of volunteer service.� Each director then donated the money to a local nonprofit of their choice. “The goodness doesn’t stop there. The Faire continues to offer 10 scholarships each year to Hanover County high school seniors,� she continued.

Foley explained how the first scholarship is presented in memory of former Mayor Richard “Dick� Gillis to a student at R-MC who is majoring in political science.

Gillis attended R-MC, and served as the mayor of the town for 20 years. He initiated Ashland’s popular nickname, “The Center of the Universe.�

She said four of the scholarships are given in memory of Tafi Yourtee. One senior from each of the county’s high schools who are planning to major in one of the performing arts are selected for the honor.

Yourtee moved to the community after performing on Broadway in New York, and

Foley said.

People can pay $1 to the Hanover Humane Society anytime between 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to have a memorable moment in the kissing booth.

The Humane Society also will be returning with dogs that are available for adoption. “Wouldn’t it be great to find your new furry friend at the Faire?� Foley asked.

continued her acting career in local theater groups.

In memory of Jay Pace, another four scholarships are given out to four seniors, one from each of Hanover’s schools that are planning to major in journalism once they graduate.

Pace was the editor and publisher of the Herald-Progress, and received many awards during his tenure.

The 10th and final scholarship is in honor of Norman Bugge, and awarded to a student attending Hanover Building and Trade School. “Norm worked for the telephone company that is now known as Verizon. In his spare time as a volunteer he was instrumental in getting the Faire’s stage built and the electrical panel wired among many other things,� Foley said.

Each of the scholarships given out by the Faire committee is selected by the individual schools. They send out all the committee’s information to the guidance or subject departments at the schools, and they choose the winners.

Betty LaPlace, board member of the Ashland Strawberry Faire, oversees the scholarships program.

Foley said families and visitors are welcome to bring their own dogs to the event, so long as they are friendly and on a leash.

Official Faire parking lots can be found east of the intersection of Patrick Street and Henry Street. From there, visitors attending the event can ride a trolley into the Faire. There will be two trolleys transferring people to and from the parking lots and the fairgrounds throughout the day.

The Henry Clay Inn and the Mason Civic League sponsored both trolleys. More information on parking can be found at www.ashlandstrawberryfaire.com. “It takes a village to run the Faire, but it’s worth it,� Foley said.

Republican gubernatorial candidate’s wife to address county GOP women Staff Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – Cathy Gillespie, the wife of Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie, will address next week’s meeting of the Hanover Republican Women’s Club.

The monthly meeting will get underway at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 16, at Anna’s Italian Kitchen at 7009 Mechanicsville Tpk. in Mechanicsville.

Gillespie serves as the co-chair of Constituting America, http:// www.constitutingamerica.org, founded by actress Janine Turner (Northern Exposure, Friday Night Lights, and Cliffhanger).

Constituting America’smission is to utilize the culture and multi-media outreach such as music, film, internet and social media, to reach, educate and inform America’s adults and students about the importance of the U.S. Constitution and the foundation it sets forth regarding our freedoms and rights.

GILLESPIE Constituting America is the only organization that utilizes today’s culture – song, film, social media and the Internet – to inspire and assist adults and students in learning about the U.S. Constitution.

Gillespie is active in a number of political and charitable organizations, serving on the Board of Visitors of Virginia State

University, and the board of Good Shepherd Housing and Family Services.

She has volunteered and raised funds for the Barbara Bush Literacy Foundation, Independent Women’s Forum, Foundation to Eradicate Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Histiocytosis Association of America, and the Susan B. Anthony List.

She has served as a Commissioner on the President’s Commission on White House Fellows, a board member of Bishop Ireton High School and a Congressional Chief of Staff.

After 25 years on Capitol Hill and in politics, Gillespie has come to believe that, in addition to participating in the political process, “we all must work to educate our children and re-educate ourselves about the principles embodied in the United States Constitution, and upon which our country was founded.”

She said she also believes “we all must engage in ‘culture making,’ in order to preserve and protect these values.”

Gillespie is a graduate of Texas A&M University. She lives in Fairfax County near George Washington’s Mount Vernon.

Her husband is the former Republican National Committee chairman and counselor to President George W. Bush. They have three children, John (23), Carrie (20) and Mollie (17).

Centerpieces for Spirit of Volunteerism event continues Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND – The Hanover Department of Community Resources is inviting members of the community to be a visible part of this year’s Spirit of Volunteerism event next week.

Hanover County’s annual volunteer appreciation event is

more than an acknowledgement of award nominees and honorees, it is a gathering of community members who share a common commitment to service.

Centerpiece creations in past years have been described as “amazing” and one of the highlights of the event.

“To capture the diversity of volunteer engagement within our community, we encourage you to create/donate a centerpiece representing your department /school/ or organization,” Lisa Adkins of Community Resources said. “They will decorate the tables throughout the celebration reception area

and will be used as a door prize at the end of the evening” A few design considerations to steer your creativity: The centerpiece is for a sixfoot table The item must withstand transport … perhaps more than one move.

Include appropri-

ate signage with your organization/program name and message of thanks to your volunteers. Your volunteers attending the event will love to see it.

Be creative; no big expense necessary. Ask your volunteers to get involved or even the clients you serve, if

you wish. There isn’t a contest or prizes, but participants will enjoy the admiration of attendees for their artistry.

Confirm that you will be contributing a centerpiece so you can be counted on.

If delivery is needed, call 804-365-4302 for assistance.

Balducci, Hawks shut down Atlee offense

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – For a while, it looked like Atlee might give Hanover a run for its money when the two teams met on the Hawks’ home diamond Friday night.

Then Hanover pitcher Antonio Balducci stepped up to the mound. Balducci, in 5-2/3 innings of relief, struck out six while giving up three walks, two hits and one unearned run to ensure the Hawks held on to a 7-2 victory over the Raiders.

The Raiders had two on base with one out in the top of the second inning when Balducci switched position from first base to the pitcher’s mound.

He struck out the first batter he faced, then walked the second to load the bases before getting J.T. Fitzpatrick to ground out to end the inning.

It was the second of three times the Raiders loaded the bases without getting more than one run across the plate.

Balducci said he focused on giving his defense something it could handle.

“In that situation, because I’m a sidearm pitcher, I try to roll a lot of ground balls – give my defense a double-play ball and get us out of the inning,” Balducci said.

Atlee last loaded the bases with one out in the fourth inning on a walk, a single, and

MECHANICSVILLE – Heading into Wednesday night’s matchup against No. 1 St. Christopher’s, No. 2 Atlee was coming off of its first loss of the season, at Douglas Freeman on May 1.

Little more than three minutes into Wednesday’s game, the Raiders found themselves down three goals on their home field.

But they fought back to tie it before the end of the quarter and kept the game tight throughout. Then finally, with 3:57 to play, Atlee got the breakthrough it needed.

Bartal’s last-second stop saves Hawk victory

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – As Hanover’s boys soccer contest against visiting Atlee entered injury time, Hawk goalkeeper Connor Bartal was sitting on a 3-1 lead.

But the Raiders had not given up, and it took a lastsecond, diving save by Bartal to secure a Hanover victory.

As injury time began, Atlee broke away down the left side of the pitch. Bartal came out to meet the Raider attack and got called for an illegal tackle inside the box to set up a penalty kick.

Bartal moved to the right, the ball went to his left, and Atlee needed just one more goal to tie it.

With less than 30 seconds to go, the Raiders broke free again.

Hawk defenders tried to thwart the attack, but one Raider got off a shot. Bartal dove to his left and trapped the ball.

“I’m a senior. It’s the last time I’ll ever play Atlee,” Bartal said. “We let one go early in the Dave Lawrence/The Local season (a 3-2 Atlee win), so I Hanover goalkeeper Connor Bartal stops an Atlee shot with mere seconds left in injury time to preserve the Hawks’ 3-2 win Friday. wanted this win. I concentrated hard on holding on to that ball the shot. kind of instinct-and-do and routine, take a step and dive, – and just hold on to it. That’s and my hands didn’t fail me.”

Dylan Rice found the back of the net to put the Raiders on top. They were able to keep possession as time wound down to top St. Christopher’s 9-8.

“We learned from what happened Monday, and we got better from it,” said coach Fielding Crawford. “And that’s really been my mantra all year to the team, is every day you show up – whether it’s a game, practice, anything – we want to be better

than when we started.”

Rice’s goal was just the second lead of the night for Atlee (9-1), and the first came earlier in the fourth quarter. The teams entered the final frame tied 77 before sophomore midfielder Andrew Cook scored to put the Raiders ahead 8-7.

But that margin lasted less than a minute as St. Christopher’s (9-5) senior midfielder Sheldon Towell responded for the Saints to put the game in its fifth tie, 8-8.

Later in the quarter, Atlee found what it was looking for. It

was a man-up play, but Rice said it wasn’t the look typically seen in that situation. Rice said teammate Drew Miller, a sophomore attacker, saw an opening for a pass, and then he just caught it, looked and turned for the shot.

“Once the ball went in, and you heard the noise, you really could feel the win coming,” said Rice. “We knew at that point that we just had to hold it.”

Crawford said that his team didn’t kill the clock like it should’ve against Douglas Freeman. But it was a different story Wednesday as the Raiders

whistle blew to end the game.

“I felt pretty good after that, Bartal said. “It was real exciting for us.”

The save followed a roughand-tumble second half in which both teams fought hard for possession.

Atlee head boys soccer coach said the Raiders’ loss was emblematic of their season.

“That’s basically how our season goes,” Thompson said.

“We kind of settle into the game and in the second half we explode with goals – that’s when we score most of our goals.

“I was never worried, even three goals down, I knew we could possibly make it up, but too little, too late.”

Both teams have one week of regular season play left. Hanover is in good position to take the top seed in the Conference 20 tournament. Atlee will be in a scrap for second-throughfourth seed in Conference 16.

successfully drained those last couple of minutes.

Cook finished with four goals to lead Atlee offensively, and Rice added two. Miller, junior midfielder Ian Shirey and senior midfielder Will Stockhausen also scored for the Raiders.

“Our team did a really good job of just manufacturing goals, and sometimes that’s what you need,” said Crawford. “When you have two good teams, it was kind of a chess match.”

Inside-the-park homer caps perfect outing

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Peyton St. George threw a perfect game. But Kelly Warren may have earned the highlight of the game in Atlee’s 11-0 shutout over host Hanover Friday night.

Warren, who already had a triple earlier in the evening, took advantage of a shallow Hanover defense in rapping a three-run inside-the-park home run in the top of the fifth inning. Shortly after, teammate Casey Barret, who had a 3-of-4 outing, hit a two-run home run to put the Raiders ahead by 11.

The mercy rule was invoked and the game ended after St. George struck out the Hanover side in the bottom of the inning.

With two on and two out, Warren showed bunt when she began her at-bat in the fifth inning. The Hanover defense adjusted to defend against the small ball, and Warren took advantage of its configuration when she hit her home run.

“The infield was playing in and the outfield was playing in, so I knew I had to try hard to slap it out of the outfield,” she said. “I hit a line drive, I’m pretty sure to the right-center gap, and I just kept running.”

The Hawks tried to make a play, but the throw to the plate was too late. One of the two runners Warren drove in – Rachel Davis or April Hooper – signaled for Warren to come in standing, which is what she did, but she was unaware of her teammate’s signal.

“Whenever I run into home, and I’m, like, wondering if there’s going to be a play, I usually look at the catcher to see if they’re getting ready for the ball Casey was nowhere near makAtlee head coach Tom starter Ellen Palya and the or not.” ing a play, so Warren felt no McIntyre said the Raiders start- Hawks’ defense held them Hanover catcher Emma need to slide. ed out a bit sluggish – Hanover scoreless through the first two

“Once we settled in and went through the lineup one time, got settled in and made some adjustments to what we were doing, we were ready to hit the ball hard,” McIntyre said.

“We talk about it all the time – if we’re going to take a lead we might as well hold it. When you’ve got a defense like [ours], you’ve got an outfield that plays hard like they do … it gives you

Balducci’s effort.

“Antonio threw fantastic. He threw lights’ out, as he’s been doing pretty much all year,” Dragum said. “It was a really good outing for him. He stabilized everything.

“And we had good at-bats – got bunts down and did all that stuff, so it was far from perfect, but a really good effort.”

Balducci did get plenty of offensive support throughout the game, too. Josh Plummer, who started on the mound for the Hawks, went 2-for-3 with a run. Catcher Michael Warley went 2-for-4 with two RBI, and shortstop Jack Dragum had a hit and scored two runs.

Hanover scored three runs in the first inning to give Balducci a cushion to work with.

“They did what they needed to do. We made mistakes. They capitalized on them,” Atlee head coach John Corbin said of Hanover’s effort. “It’s tough to come back against the arms that they have coming out of the bullpen.”

Patrick Henry senior Sophia Basso places a shot between the legs of Lee-Davis defender Madison Willaims for a goal at 36:36, giving the Patriots a quick 1-0 lead. Basso scored a second goal a few minutes later to lead Patrick Henry to a 3-0 victory.

MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover’s girls tennis team closed out its regular season with 8-1 victory at Lee-Davis Wednesday.

Now the challenge for the Hawks is to keep to its winning ways through the Conference 20 team tournament, which began after this edition went to press.

The Hawks are well positioned to continue its success,

however, as they return all but one of their top six from last year’s state finalist team.

“That’s where our [strength] is,” said Hanover head coach Lindsey Hein. “From one through seven, we’ve got some good talent.”

The best match of the day might have been the No. 3 singles in which Mattie Moon held off Lee-Davis’ Mary Crawford 2-6, 7-5, 10-8.

“Both did a great job of playing through,” Hein said.

Confederates stem Patrick Henry surge

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The Lee-Davis boys lacrosse team had a hard time putting visiting Patrick Henry away Wednesday night.

The Patriots, who trailed through much of the second quarter, surged toward intermission as Ben Schubert went on a tear and put Patrick Henry Dave Lawrence/The Local Lee-Davis’ Randy White (2) fires a shot toward the Patrick Henry up by two goals.

regrouped at halftime and slowly fought back through the second half, scoring five unanswered goals in the fourth quarter to claim a 15-11 victory.

“It was a really tight game.

They pushed at the end of the half,” said Lee-Davis head coach Phil Feigenbaum. “It wasn’t any type of momentum that we couldn’t push back against.

We felt that we had the energy tonight.

“I teach these guys that there’s ups and downs in every

lacrosse game and they just responded really strong. They responded really strong and came out and … executed our lacrosse.”

Randolph White led the Confederates with eight goals and an assist, and Eli Elliott added four goals and two assists. Mason Walczak had two goals and three assists.

Schubert led the Patriots with five goals – several of those in the final minutes of the first half.
