Assembly, Fowler said he continued to support public education reforms, with emphasis on Career and Technical Education. He is a major supporter of the 2nd Amendment rights, working tirelessly to support gun owner’s rights.

In the 2017 session, Fowler submitted legislation that passed through both Houses of the Legislature that will make the roads safer, the election laws better and legislation that will improve the operations and regulatory oversight of the Department of Criminal Justice Services.

Fowler discussed numerous issues back in 2013 with the voters, however the campaign focused on five critical issues, including: Jobs and the Economy, Public Education Reform, Ethics Reform, Mental Health Reform and finally his opposition to Medicaid expan-

Fowler said he has “kept his word” to his constituents during his first two terms in the House of Delegates.

The Virginia Chamber of Commerce and the NFIB have repeatedly recognized my support for maintaining a positive business climate.

“I co-patroned and supported numerous education bills that reform the Public Education Standards of Learning and provided local school divisions with increased flexibility in meeting those Standards of Learning,” said Fowler. In addition, he copatroned and supported ethics reform legislation that provides for more transparency and prohibits gifts of over $100.

Fowler supported legislation extending the time allowing for emergency custody orders, which create an “online” bed registry providing critical mental health services

“Numerous times, I voted against legislative efforts to expand the current Medicaid system in Virginia. Today, I am currently waiting to see what changes are coming down from Washington on Medicaid,” Fowler said.

The economy was the most important issue of Fowler’s second term. Stagnant economic growth created fiscal challenges for the Commonwealth. In 2016, the General Assembly was looking at a $1.2 billion budget shortfall.

“As a member of the House Finance, I supported making some tough legislative decisions which helped to provide the House Appropriations Committee with the resources needed to balance the State Budget, fund critical priorities like public education, public safety and health care, and at the same time avoid any tax or fee increases on our citizens”, Fowler said.

JFK’s law enforcement designation remains

PETA maintains people should not eat meat, other animal-based foods

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor The room was filled with a who’s who of regional leaders gathered to pay tribute to law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while in the line of duty.

Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County, hosted the 27th Annual Memorial Breakfast last Wednesday morning at VFW Post 9808 in Mechanicsville.

On Oct. 1, 1962, President John F. Kennedy designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day. The recognition had been passed by the United States Congress exactly a year before. In addition to the bill, JFK also signed a proclamation. He also declared the week that May 15 falls in as Police Week.

Hines told the group that “It is the best time to be in law enforcement if you’re doing it right.”

Virginia Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Brian J. Moran was the keynote speaker. He talked about the “brotherhood and sisterhood of law enforcement,” as had been

addressed by President Kennedy.

Also taking part in the program were Lt. Col. Allen Davidson, Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office; the HCSO Honor Guard; Sgt. J.A. Livingstone of the Henrico Police Department who performed “Amazing Grace” on the bagpipes; Deputy Cory Pope, 2016 Rookie of the Year, HCSO, Pledge of Allegiance; Rev. Paul Flowers, HCSO chaplain, who delivered the invocation and benediction; Angela Kelly-Wiecek, chair of the Hanover County Board of Directors, who presented a proclamation about the day/week.

After the invocation, Rev. Flowers asked for a moment of silence “In remembrance of those officers who lost their lives in the line of duty during 2016-2017.”

Among those guests attending the breakfast were Commonwealth’s Attorney Trip Chalkley; Supervisors Canova Peterson, Scott Wyatt and Sean Davis, Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools; Hanover County Administrator Cecil R. “R” Harris Jr.; State Sen. Siobhan Dunnavant, R-12; Del. Buddy Fowler,

R-55; Col. W. Steven Flaherty, superintendent of Virginia State Police; Chesterfield County Administrator Joe Casey; and John Cox, a member of the Hanover County Sheriff’s Advisory Board.

It was poignant and solemn as the names of the Virginia law enforcement offers who lost their lives in the line of duty from Jan. 1, 2016, to May 10, 2017, were read. They are: Deputy Sheriff Curtis Allen Bartlett, Carroll County Sheriff ’s Office, end of watch Thursday, March 9, 2017, cause of death vehicle pursuit; Trooper II Chad Phillip Dermyer, Virginia State Police, end of watch Thursday, March 31, 2016, cause of death gunfire; Officer Ashley Marie Guindon, Prince William County Police Department, end of watch Saturday, Feb. 27, 2016, cause of death gunfire; Corporal Harvey Snook III, Arlington County Police Department, end of watch Thursday, Jan. 14, 2016, cause of death 9/11 related illness; and K9 Krijger, Norfolk Police Department, end of watch Monday, Jan. 11, 2016, cause of death gunfire.

Before closing, a special thank you to the VFW for the hospitality and tasty breakfast. Your efforts are much appreciated.

More than 5,000 pounds of meat has been recalled from grocery stores in six states, including Virginia, because it may be contaminated with a potentially deadly strain of E. coli bacteria.

The bacteria can cause bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain but also can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome.

Thankfully, no serious illnesses have been reported yet.

But because meat is high in saturated fat and cholesterol and is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other serious ailments, it’s really not safe to eat regardless.

The best way to protect yourself from food poisoning and other lifethreatening illnesses is to stop eating meat and other animal-based foods.

Plant-based foods don’t naturally harbor E. coli — they only become contaminated when animal manure is used to fertilize crops or leaks into waterways.

(Cross-contamination also can occur when produce is placed on the same surface as meat, or when someone doesn’t practice proper hygiene when handling food.)

If we all eat tasty vegan foods, E. coli and other harmful pathogens will be less likely to spread and sicken people, and we’ll be less likely to suffer from many diet-related diseases.

For more information and a free vegan starter kit, see www.PETA.org.

Throughout the process, something else happened that was unexpected: I got to know my mother in a way I’d never imagined.

We sat and talked about life … and death, intertwined with a wealth of stories about her youth and how her life had unfolded.

I only then realized how much she had loved my father who passed away when my sister and I were kids. The choices she made to get up and fight, and raise two children with no help became evident to me. More importantly, I understand the reasons for her choices.

she never degraded or judged any sort of honest work, I felt her disappointment that I had earned a degree in journalism and had never come close to using it.

“Jimmy, there’s nothing wrong with good honest work, but you have a gift,” she told me. “One of the saddest things in life is wasted potential. Don’t throw yours away.”

As the months passed, the trips to the hospital became more frequent and the good days became more and more isolated, and we both knew our time together was limited.

I asked more questions, listened more intently to the answers, and appreciated each and every bit of wisdom she produced in those last months.

Toward the end, the caregiving became more important than my job, and I took a leave of absence to nurse her through the final chapters of a life I had learned was well lived.

On the night before she left us, I sat by her bed, holding her hand and hoping for a few more words of wisdom.

“You can’t go yet,” I said in a whisper not sure she could hear. “I still have lots of questions.”

Her eyes opened only slightly as she looked up and said in a whisper, “But now, you can figure out the answers.”

I thought about all of that as her granddaughters placed a small flower-lined heart in her hands shortly before her coffin was closed.

After the funeral, we sat in her house and met with her old friends, acquaintances and colleagues. In the midst of the conversations, I heard several of her lifelong friends talking.

“After Becky lost Jim, she really dedicated her life to her kids,” the older woman said.

“It was kind of sad she didn’t have a life for herself after her husband died.”

The words laid in my mind as I tried to sleep that night, and I’ve considered their description many times over since that day.

True enough, she did give up everything so her kids could have a good life, never realizing that our family did it on one salary while most of my friends enjoyed the benefits of two, one of the many things I never realized until I spent those final months with her.

As for that lost life, her role as mother was the most important thing in her life, and I can’t think of a minute where she ever regretted that choice.

On Mother’s Day, I always remind my friends that taking care of their parents is more than a task or responsibility to be delegated. It’s an honor and the people who perform the

important role of caregiver are truly heroes in my mind.

In retrospect, those two years I approached with dread and dismay turned into some of the best months of my life, and I learned more in that period than any formal education could teach.

When I first assumed the caregiving role, I was not yet a man. On the final day of her life, I was.

To those fortunate enough to visit with their mothers in person on this special day, I say savor every moment and inhale each word you hear.

Some of them will last you a lifetime.

Shortly after her death, I resigned from the Post Office and got my first job in journalism, a late bloomer to be sure. But, the confidence she instilled in me allowed me to weather the first harrowing days on the job. It wasn’t long before I realized she had given one more gift during those last months — the ability to work and make a living doing something I truly love.

Never doubt the power of a mother’s love or its ability to inspire long after the person who expressed it has gone.

And, I suppose the saddest irony is that sometimes it takes a person dying to teach another how to live.

Thanks, Mom!

Carly Fiorino addresses Reagan Day Dinner County Republican Party welcomes former presidential candidate who says nation is ‘exceptional’ Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – The Hanover County Republican Party welcomed former presidential candidate Carly Fiorina to a sold out audience of 235 for its annual Reagan Day Dinner on May 5 at the American Legion in Mechanicsville.

“We started having to turn people away the week before the event because we just did not have room for everyone that wanted to attend the dinner,� said Russ Wright, chairman of the Hanover County Committee of the Republican Party.

Wright noted that this dinner was an exceptional event in that the entire Hanover County

legislative delegation was in attendance at the dinner, as well as numerous Hanover County public officials from all over Hanover to hear the inspiring speech on leadership given by Fiorina.

Mechanicsville business owner John Wash Sr. said, “It was quite a pleasure for me to work on an event of this mag-

nitude, which was graciously supported by the business community.�

U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman, who introduced Fiorina, addressed the gathering with a positive message on the passage of the new health care legislation, which is the first step in replacing ObamaCare.

He said it is failing in states all over the country.

In her keynote speech, Fiorina told the crowd that, in her travels all over the world, “I have learned over the years that our nation is exceptional.

We are so exceptional because if you think about it most nations are founded on eth-

nicity, tribes or by conquest.

This nation is founded on ideas, debated vigorously right here in the Commonwealth of Virginia�.

She also said, “I have learned three important things in my career:

Everyone has more potential than they realize.

People can solve their own problems that impact them if given the chance. In fact, they are best able to solve their problems if given the tools to do that.

If you collect too much money, power and decision making in too few people’s hands then the money will

Get ready to experience the next level of online banking.

be wasted, the power will be abused and the decision making will be wrong.�

She told the group that “everyone in here is a leader� and urged everyone to focus on possibilities in people, Hanover County and in the nation.

The Hanover County Republican Committee also recognized Paul Dorn of Mechanicsville with a distinguished service award for his 28 years of work as the Cold Harbor Magisterial chairman.

Attendees closed the evening by discussing the upcoming fall election and working for their candidates.

HARRY ROBERTSON III Harry Wilson Robertson III, 80, of Hanover, founder and owner of Hanover Fly Fishers, Ltd., died Monday, May 8, 2017, in San Jose, Costa Rica. Mr. Robertson was born August 21, 1936, in Covington, the only child of Harry W. Robertson Jr. and Mary Ellen Hoylman, who predeceased him. After briefly attending military school in Virginia, he graduated in 1960 with a BFA from Richmond Professional Institute (now Virginia Commonwealth University). From 1960 until 1965, Mr. Robertson worked at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts as Supervisor of Art Services. During that time, he continued his career as an artist, holding shows locally and in galleries on the East Coast and in New York. Although fishing later became his main

focus, painting and sculpting were always part of his life. In 1965, Mr. Robertson’s interest in fishing and hunting expeditions for himself and friends began to evolve. After decades of research, study and travel, the trips he organized developed into the outdoor sporting business of Hanover Fly Fishers. Those seminal expeditions grew in size and scope over the years and ultimately led him around the world, from Great Bear Lake near the Arctic Circle to Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, from Mongolia to Australia and New Guinea, from Central and South America to Africa and the Seychelles.

His reputation in the industry grew exponentially as did the number of trophy fish and prizes he received from the International Game Fish Association. His personal and business connections in the field became worldwide and enormous. As important as adventure travel was for him, Mr. Robertson had a love of sharing his knowledge of

casting and fly fishing with others. Considered one of the country’s leading authorities on the subject, he possessed a remarkable ability to impart his knowledge in a clear, concise and understandable manner that relaxed, enthused and entertained the student. He regularly gave seminars and held casting clinics, and taught ROBERTSON the art of the cast at his business location in Hanover. For almost a decade, he introduced the sport to a new generation of fly fishers at Hampden-Sydney College.

Mr. Robertson also possessed a vast knowledge and understanding of the world’s ecosystems, and passed on to his students the importance

of protecting those fragile environments. In 2013, Mr. Robertson was awarded the Nat Burgwyn Lifetime Achievement Award from Fly Fishers of Virginia for his commitment to fly fishing and its education, and for general conservation efforts.

A natural raconteur possessed of high intellect and charm, Mr. Robertson was admired fondly by people from all walks of life, many of whom became lifetime followers of his adventures. He is survived by his greatest admirer, Emily Jeanne Comer Robertson, his wife of 43 years. At the request of the deceased, there will be no memorial service; a gathering of friends will occur at a later time.

Pepicelli’s Pizza honored for community service RICHMOND — Tom and Lisa Checkosky, owners of Pepicelli’s Pizza in Ashland, didn’t know they’d been nominated for the 2017 Virginia Governor’s Volunteerism and Community Service Award for Outstanding Small Business, so, when they received the call that they’d won while in Florida celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary, they were confused at first.

Tom kept asking the person on the other line, “You mean in the entire state of Virginia, there was nobody else?” Once he realized what was happening, Tom said he was brought to tears.

The award ceremony was

held at the Governor’s Mansion on April 20.

According to Tom, “The best way I can describe the event was it was the most informal, formal event, I have ever been to.”

He was surprised by the warmth and welcome extended to him and his family by Gov. Terry McAuliffe. The Governor even took selfies with some of Tom’s family.

Last year, Pepicelli’s Pizza received the Hanover County “Spirit of Volunteerism” award for “Commitment to Community,” recognizing the local business or nonprofit that exemplifies strong community values and a sustained com-

Steven K. Smith, author of The Virginia Mysteries series, recently visited fourth and fifth graders at all 14 elementary schools in Hanover County. The books all take place at historical venues in the Richmond area. Students read one of the books in the series, “Mystery on Church Hill”, for the 2017 Reading Olympics. Prior to Smith’s visit, librarians blended information about historical events and locations from the books into their instruction. They also used maps from Richmond Region Tourism so that students could find the various locations. The students have challenged Smith to write about a historic location in Hanover next. Hanover County Public Schools extended its thanks to the Hanover Education Foundation for sponsoring this event. Smith is shown with the fourth and fifth grade students at John M. Gandy Elementary School in Ashland.

HANOVER — Hanover Master Gardeners Association is pleased to announce the winners of their annual Hanover schools grants award programs for 2017.

The Checkoskys said they fell in love with Ashland and all its warmth and charm when they relocated to the town years ago to open their restaurant, Pepicelli’s, named after Lisa’s family.

Since the opening of the restaurant, the Checkosky family has become tremendous supporters of the Ashland and Beaverdam communities, volunteering and contributing in many area events and charities.

Summer Hill Farm is oldest Century Farm in state Staff Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND – Farming has been the backbone of the Commonwealth for more than 400 years. Virginia’s Century Farm program honors the commitment and contributions of farm families who have owned and worked their farms for 100 years or more.

Since the program was established in 1997, nearly 1,400 Virginia farms have been designated as Century Farms.

Virginia’s oldest designated Century Farm is Summer Hill Farm in Hanover County. The

Newton and Page families have owned the farm since 1672.

“For many families, farming is both a tradition and a business that has been passed down from one generation to the next,” said Commissioner Sandy Adams. “Agriculture remains Virginia’s largest private industry, contributing $52 billion annually to the Commonwealth. It speaks volumes about our state’s long commitment to agriculture when there are nearly 1,400 farms designated to have been in operation for more than a century.”

Smart Beginnings reps explain coalition’s role

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — Working together to ensure that children enter school healthy, wellcared for, and ready to succeed in their education, work and in life is the objective of an ongoing coalition taking place in the Richmond metropolitan region, and across the commonwealth.

Smart Beginnings Greater Richmond is a regional coalition of public and private organizations, businesses and citizens who are working together to ensure successful and healthy early childhood development in the area.

Rich Schultz, executive director of the organization, along with Monica Callahan, the director of outreach and development, attended last week’s regular meeting of

Ashland Town Council to talk about their efforts in Hanover County.

“Our partnership is with Hanover County Public Schools and your schools here in Ashland fall under the Hanover County public school system,” Callahan said during the Tuesday, May 16, meeting.

In explaining why early childhood development is so important, Callahan said, “Because children are our future, everything about that 0 to 5 time-frame is about learning and exploring, and becoming the little people that will eventually turn into our future leaders.”

She pointed out how, for that reason, ensuring that kids have a successful and healthy early childhood is truly an investment to our society.

In addition, she said that investing in our children early

on is especially important because their brains are constantly learning.

Callahan emphasized that children who are born into low-income families typically enter school behind, and, usually, they end up staying behind. She said that this usually results in the negative things our society currently is seeing such as an increase in dropout rates, teen pregnancies and crime; saying that these are ripple effects.

Smart Beginnings is operating in 17 different communities across Virginia, creating a state-wide network of initiatives that are supported by the Virginia Early Childhood Foundation.

Acknowledging that this is truly the region’s plan, Schultz thanked Ashland council members for their support.

“Thank you for your part-

Lisa, whose brother was born without a right ventricle in his heart, spent a lot of time in Children’s Hospital as a child, and understood that eating a decent meal at the end of the day was something most families in that situation rarely enjoy.

Her father started a similar foundation in the 1980s after dealing with his son’s health issues.

The family also is heavily involved in the CJ Thumbs Up Foundation, an organization

providing assistance to families of children with chronic or life threatening illnesses.

They raise their own chickens and donate hundreds of eggs to area food banks. They also have contributed to the Hanover Humane Society, Hanover Safe Place, Relay for Life, Shop with a Cop, the Rockville and Beaverdam little leagues and countless others.

Community meeting called to discuss Atlee Road extension MECHANICSVILLE — A community meeting on the major construction project of extending Atlee Road from Rutland about one-half mile to Atlee Station Road will get underway at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 7, in the Atlee High School auditorium.

The goal is to help residents prepare for the road changes and adequately plan for changes to their commutes and trips

to schools in the area.

The county will provide an overview of the project and review the various detour phases and their anticipated timing during the 2017-2018 school year.

Citizens will be able to ask questions and get answers about the project.

Construction will last more than a year and will involve multiple road closings and detours.

Traffic detour impacts will begin in October. Detours will affect routes to schools and some school bus routes.

Construction will not be completed until the fall of 2018.

The project includes construction of a bridge over the railroad, closure of the existing rail crossing and Cool Spring Road connection to Atlee Station Road. Cool Spring Road will be connected to the new Atlee Road Extended. The project also includes a traffic signal at Atlee Station Road and the new Atlee Road extension.

Sidewalks and accommodations for bicycles will also be constructed as part of this project.

Maps and additional information can be viewed at http:// www.virginiadot.org/projects/ richmond/atlee_road_extension_in_hanover.asp Variable message boards will be placed announcing the detours at least two weeks prior to any change in traffic patterns.

by-day basis. The point is that there is a ton of data being used, and local communities need something that can transfer that data.

“That pushes us to maybe need an infrastructure that can handle a little more than what’s out there right now,” Farrar said.

In recent years, he explained that the town discovered dark fiber that is sitting right at the Exit 92 interchange on Interstate 95.

Dark fiber is fiber-optic cable infrastructure that is currently in place but is not being used.

Optical fibers make up these fiber-optic cables that convey information using light pulses. Dark fiber doesn’t have any light pulses going through them that send data, but they have the capability to do so.

The dark fiber that is sitting at a node at Exit 92 is owned by a company called SummitIG. They have a line that travels from the Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia area all the way down to the state capital, and now it’s even starting to continue even farther South.

He said that the plan, if the funding is available and other obstacles don’t stand in the way, would be to drag that dark fiber cable from where it currently sits on I-95 to Ashland

Town Hall, and the hope then would be to extend it to the Holland Tract.

The preferred method would be to do this via underground, but he said that using existing poles can be an alternative.

One of the possible hurdles they may experience that could hinder the process are tremendous efforts by members in the Virginia General Assembly that are trying to prevent governments in local communities in the state from doing anything like this.

“That got shot down this year, but I would say that it will be reintroduced in the coming year, [so] we always have to keep that eye for what’s hap-

pening in Richmond – because if we do this and they adopt that legislation we will have to change course,” said the town manager.

He added that the legislation prohibits internet utilities, which he said wasn’t what they were looking to do because they were looking for infrastructure, but acknowledged that they are starting to get close to that fine border.

“I think there are still benefits to having it, but [that legislation] could certainly change the conversation, and I want you to know all of the hurdles that may be put in front of you before you say, ‘Josh, go ahead and take the next step’,” he told council members.

Hanover County receives Playful City USA designation Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND — Hanover County recently was honored with a 2017 Playful City USA designation by KaBOOM!, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing balanced and active play into the daily lives of all kids.

The Playful City USA pro-

gram honors cities and towns across the country for putting the needs of families first so kids can learn, grow and develop important life skills.

The 2017 Playful City USA recognition includes 258 communities across the country that are transforming ordinary places into playful spaces and using play as a solution to the

challenges facing their residents.

Nationwide, these communities feature more than 14,000 safe and engaging playspaces that serve more than 4 million kids.

Hanover County was designated along with the City of Richmond, the Town of Ashland, and the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Henrico, New Kent and Powhatan.

With each of the region’s nine localities recognized individually, the Richmond region became the first playful region in the nation.

The benefits for being designated as a Playful City USA include national recognition and increased competitive advantage in competitions for grants and other fund-

ing opportunities; access to Kaboom!’s playability engagement series, webinars, newsletters, and policy tools; and two highway road signs to showcase the recognition to residents and visitors.

The collaborative effort to apply for the program was led

Last year, the partners worked with the City of Richmond to receive a 2016 designation as a Playful City USA. “After seeing the benefits from the city’s designation last year, it was clear we needed to spread the effort to include the entire region,” said Ashley Hall, manager of the Capital Region Collaborative. “We’re proud of the regional commitment to playability, a subject that connects across our region’s eight priority areas – from education and quality place, to the James River and healthy community.”

Jeff McIntyre, Active RVA’s director, added, “This is far more than entertainment and leisure. Active play is crucial to the well-being of kids, families and their communities. In a playable environment, children’s creative adventures on the playground create a foundation for classroom learning.

For adults and families, play creates connections, expands social networks, and helps to

Peyton perfect as Atlee keeps league title

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee’s Peyton St. George doesn’t usually get told to keep quiet in her own dugout, but late in the game she asked a teammate if any Albemarle players had reached base. The teammate told her, “Shut up, Peyton!”

Warren merely had St. George’s best interest at heart, for no Patriots had reached base, nor would any do so by the time the seventh inning came to a close, for St. George threw a perfect game to lead the Raiders to a 9-0 victory over visiting Albemarle in the Conference 16 softball championship game Friday night.

St. George wasn’t offended by her teammate’s brushback and didn’t dwell on it, either.

“I think I’m so focused on, kind of, the new pitches and getting my speed – and I changed my wind-up a little bit – so I’m not really focused on the whole perfect game. But then I think in the fifth or sixth inning I realized that, ‘Wow! I haven’t hit someone and I haven’t walked anyone, so I guess no one has gotten on base.’

“Then I was like, ‘Don’t think about it! You’re just going to jinx yourself!’ ” St. George threw a few balls.

Albemarle hitters made some contact. But no one got on base.

fans – including Albemarle fans – stood up and applauded.

Albemarle head coach Charlie Scott said the Patriots knew what to expect.

“She’s not a secret,” Scott said. “She’s an incredible softball player, an incredible pitcher. She hasn’t earned what she’s earned

for no reason.”

St. George finished with 12 strikeouts. She recorded three more assists fielding grounders to have a hand in 15 of Albemarle’s 21 outs.

Scott said Albemarle’s lack of offense wasn’t for a lack of effort.

“We fought hard at the plate,” he said. “We struck out quite a few times, but we fought hard and we swung the bat. That’s all I can ask the kids to do.

St. George also contributed to the Raider offense, going 2for-3 with a double.

Teammates Casey Barrett

and Kelly Warren did much of the heavy lifting for the Raider offense, each going 3-for3. Barrett had two doubles, a sacrifice fly, and a run scored.

Warren scored a pair of runs herself. Jordan Durbin went 2-

MECHANICSVILLE – On Monday, May 15, the No. 1 Hanover and No. 3 Lee-Davis baseball teams battled to a 1-run, comefrom-behind Hawk win.

The two teams met at Hanover for a rematch the following Tuesday, but this time the outcome was quite different.

Hanover, buoyed by a first-inning stand in which they held the visiting Confederates scoreless despite Lee-Davis loading the bases, jumped on the Confederates for four runs in the bottom of the first and coasted to a 10-0 victory in a mercifully shortened five-inning outing.

Raiders end Patriots’ season with 13-3 win

By Andrew Spencer for the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee’s and Patrick Henry’s baseball teams both lost their respective Conference 16 semifinals, so when the two teams met in a conference third-place game at Atlee Friday night, they faced the prospect of winning or watching the season from the sidelines.

The Raiders had fresher arms in its bullpen, however, and a seemingly unstoppable offense, and they used both to their advantage in a 13-3 victory over the Patriots in a game ended in the sixth inning by the mercy rule.

Atlee starter John Kish threw four complete innings, leaving with a 9-1 lead.

Atlee head coach John Corbin said the key to victory was in the direction of their focus.

“When our guys worry about themselves and not the other team, we play this type of baseball and we can beat anybody,” Corbin said.

Offensively, the Raiders put up 13 hits, including a walk-off single by Nick McMillion that drove in Cam Harris for the run that ended the game.

“The kids really swung the bats tonight. They were aggressive early and got to the starting pitcher quickly,” Corbin said.

Patrick Henry starting pitcher Conner Logan took the loss after giving up two runs in two innings and allowing the first two batters in the third inning to reach base. He was relieved

by Chase Mills, but Mills didn’t fare much better, surrendering four runs of his own.

The Raiders got the scoring started in the first with an RBI double by Nick Carlo. Carlo squared around to bunt on the pitch, but pulled the bat back and swung away, sending the

ball screaming up the middle into center field to bring Adam Jewell home from first.

Patrick Henry – with 10 hits of its own – had opportunities to score, but the Patriots were rarely able to convert. They stranded runners in scoring position the first three innings – and scored no runs. Twice, those runners were on third base, 90 feet from home, when the third out was called.

“You’ve got to create your own breaks,” said Patrick Henry head coach Sam Hart. “We just didn’t create any for ourselves tonight.”

The third inning was the real turning point for both teams. After putting the first two batters on at second and third, the Patriots watched their next three batters go down in order without getting a ball out of the infield.

When it was their turn at bat, the Raiders unloaded, batting through the order while scoring six runs on six hits.

for-4 with a run scored.

Barrett and the rest of the team started the day in an aggressive frame of mind, a huge contrast from a subdued performance in the Raiders’ 40 victory over Halifax in the Conference 16 semifinal.

“I think it really started with our music,” Barrett said. “We play [our] songs on a loop, but still every time we hear them, it’s like hearing them for the first time in forever.

“And then, as soon as we got in the dugout, we have a rally bin. Today, since it was a cham-

pionship game, we just had our rally bin the entire game. We wear hats and, like, boas and stuff just to get us fired up.”

It was the second no-no of the week for St. George, who threw a no-hitter in the Raiders’ 4-0 victory over visiting Halifax in a conference semifinal Wednesday.

“Moving forward, we really just need to focus on staying humble, but staying hungry – staying intense in the dugout, staying intense on the field,” St. George said after the Halifax game. “We know what goal we’re looking towards, and we can’t just assume we’re going to win it again like we did the past two years.”

Atlee, as conference champion, draws a bye in the first round of the Region 5A North tournament. The Raiders will host their first game in the second round of the tournament Thursday against an opponent to be determined later.

Albemarle, as the conference runner-up, will host an opponent – likewise to be determined later – in the first round of the region tournament Tuesday.

Raider girls hold on for win against Wildcats

By Andrew Spencer for the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – With time running out, a loose ball on the field and her team clinging to a one-goal lead over the Deep Run Wildcats, Atlee co-captain Claire Reagan was completely focused on one task.

“All I could think when I saw that ball on the ground was that I had to get it,” Reagan said.

“I had to get there as fast I could so we could win this game.”

Fortunately for Raider fans, Reagan got there first, picked up the ball, and secured 5A South/ East group lacrosse championship for the Atlee Raiders with a 7-6 win over the Wildcats at Randolph-Macon College Thursday.

Getting to that pivotal ground ball wasn’t without plenty of drama. The Raiders took the early lead after Faith Anna won the initial draw and got the ball to senior phenom Kylie Eastman, who netted her first of five goals on the day.

“As a senior, I was not going to go out with a loss today,” Eastman said. “Our plan was to take charge from the beginning, and we did that today.”

The Wildcats answered back quickly, as Lauren Heffron forced a shot past Atlee goalkeeper Savannah Clarke to tie

the game at 1-1.

But the Deep Run attack was hindered both by its own inability to make quality passes in the first half as well as by a stubborn Atlee defense.

Topping that defensive effort was Clarke’s play in goal, where she recorded 12 saves.

“I just wanted to play really well today for my team and for my coaches,” Clarke said.

“We’ve worked really hard this season and I think it showed today.”

“Savannah was amazing today. Today she made a huge difference for us, especially at

the end of the game,” said Atlee head coach Christina Dobson.

“We lost a little bit of control and composure, but Savannah was ready for the challenge and she stepped up.”

After trading goals and playing to a 3-3 tie with 40 seconds left in the first half, Clarke made what was a rare – and potentially costly – mistake. After making a save, her attempt to clear was intercepted by a Deep Run attacker, who was one-onone with Clarke. But the Atlee keeper stood strong and made what might have been her most important save of the half.

She passed the ball to Emily Karn, who took it downfield and fed a perfect pass to Eastman.

Eastman sent the ball into the goal to give the Raiders the lead with 18 seconds left in the half.

In the second half, the Deep Run defense was inspired and stymied the Atlee attack. The Wildcats offense managed ten shots on goal in the second half, scoring on three of them.

The most important shot of the half, though, was taken by Deep Run freshman Hannah Braswell on a penalty shot that would have tied the game.

Braswell’s shot just missed the goal, sailing high of the crossbar and out of bounds.

The Wildcats even up with the Raiders 6-6 late in the second half. But, with just over four minutes to play in the game, Clarke came up with another huge save after a failed clear see RAIDERS, pg. 32

Atlee rides big second quarter to title

By Wayne Epps Richmond Times-Dispatch ASHLAND – At the end of the first quarter of Thursday night’s boys lacrosse 5A South/ East group final at RandolphMacon, top seed Atlee and second seed Douglas Freeman were knotted at 1.

Dylan Rice had scored for Atlee, and senior Jack Bernhardt

responded for Douglas Freeman about three minutes later.

Atlee coach Fielding Crawford said he was impressed with the looks his players were getting. But those looks weren’t turning into goals with senior goalkeeper Joe Hoskins coming up with stops for Douglas Freeman.

Heading into the second quarter, Crawford told his play-

ers to keep doing what they were doing. He said they didn’t need to change a thing.

And then the goals started falling. The Raiders scored six unanswered goals from the start of the second quarter to early in the third to build a lofty lead.

The Rebels clawed back later, but the Raiders held on for a 9-7 victory.

It was the fourth consecutive

year the teams played for the conference crown, with Atlee winning its third straight.

Crawford said he thought his team limped into the end of the season. He said players weren’t communicating on defense and that offensive play was a little lazy. So the players Alexa Welch Edlund/Times-Dispatch were challenged.

Hawk, Raider girls sweep tennis championships

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Both Hanover’s and Atlee’s girls tennis teams won their respective trifectas last week, sweeping the team, singles and double titles in Conference 20 and Conference 16, respectively.

The matches made for a long week for all concerned, as the team championship matches had to be postponed until last week in the middle of the conference singles and doubles championships.

Hanover’s girls swept Midlothian 5-0 in the singles matches to claim the Conference 20 team title at Hanover Wednesday. The next day – again at Hanover – Hawk No. 1 Stephanie Broussard defeated Midlothian’s Julia Deaver 6-2, 6-0 for the singles championship. Broussard then teamed up with Madison Moore to defeat Deaver and Grace Clarke 6-3, 6-0 for the doubles title.

“They were very excited,” Hanover head coach Lindsey Hein said of Broussard and Moore after their winning efforts Thursday.

This is the first season that

Hanover’s girls swept the conference titles. By the time it was all over, they were exhausted.

“They were a little tired,” Hein said. “They just played a singles on Monday, then they played singles and two doubles matches on Tuesday. They played a team match – singles match – on Wednesday. Then Stephanie played a singles and a doubles on Thursday and Madison played a doubles on Thursday.”

Atlee’s Allison Wandling defeated Patrick HenryRoanoke’s Alexandra DeFelice 6-0, 6-4 for the Conference 16 title Wednesday. Wandling and Jessica Wills and Allison Wandling defeated fellow Raiders Katie Sarnowski and Shelby Morton 6-3, 6-2 to claim the Conference 16 girls tennis doubles title Friday.

Hanover’s boys finished as runners up to Midlothian in the Conference 20 team title Wedneday, but Hawks’ No. 1 Turner Cole won the conference singles championship and Cole and Ross Violi won the doubles title Thursday.

R-MC falls to Marlins in NCAA region final

By Andrew Spencer for the Hanover Local ASHLAND – The Randolph-Macon Yellow Jackets faced a familiar foe in the Virginia Wesleyan Marlins when the two teams squared off on Monday in the finals of the Ashland Regional NCAA Division III softball tournament.

Unfortunately for the Yellow Jacket faithful, the result was all-too-familiar, too.

The Marlins only needed five innings to close out the tournament as they posted a 9-0 score after five innings, when the run-ahead rule was invoked and the game ended.

It was the fourth time that the two teams have met this season, and it was the fourth time the Yellow Jackets fell to the Marlins.

“They’ve had an unbelievable season,” said RandolphMacon head coach Kevin Proffitt. “They went 46-2 this season, so it’s not like it’s just us that has been having trouble with them.”

The Marlins were undefeated in ODAC play, posting a .386 season batting average with 40 home runs during the regular season.

Despite having pitched three complete games in two days, sophomore Candace Whittemore was in the circle for the Yellow Jackets to face the powerful Marlin lineup.

The effects of so much work over so few days seemed to catch up to her in the second inning, when Whittemore surrendered five hits, including a three-run, bases-loaded double by senior Liz Bailey.

“I knew that Candace was throwing outside a lot,” Bailey said, “so I sat outside and took my chances.”

In the third inning, Whittemore was back out in

regional was not only exciting for us as a team, but exciting for the whole school and the community,” said Powhatan’s Jen Balcom, the lone senior on this year’s Yellow Jacket squad.

Proffitt echoed that sentiment.

“We told our kids after the game to focus on the thirty-five wins we got this year, on setting a program record for wins, hosting an NCAA regional tournament,” he said.

This Yellow Jacket team made the NCAA tournament two out of the last three years, and there’s plenty of reason for optimism about next season.

“We were a very young team this year, so I think that there’s nothing but greatness coming up behind me,” Balcom said.

“I think that there’s potential to not only equal this year’s success next season, but to even have a better season.”

Proffitt agreed.

“We have a ton of kids Nick Liberante for The Local returning and a very good Virginia-Wesleyan’s Madison Glaubke focuses on the ball as she connects for a home run in the recruiting class coming in,” he fifth inning of the Marlins’ 9-0 victory over Randolph-Macon in the final of the NCAA Division III said. “The sky’s the limit next regional softball tournament Monday, May 15.

“Playing in a best two-outof-three format like you have in a super regional, it’s a huge advantage to be playing at home,” said Virginia Wesleyan head coach Brandon Elliott.

“Marlin Nation will be with us, and we’re excited to be playing at home.”

Over the course of the Ashland Regional, Virginia Wesleyan was undefeated and un-scored upon, surrendering only eight hits over three games while scoring 17 runs on 23 hits.

Randolph-Macon finished the regional six runs on 16 hits.

L-D runs away with Conference 11 track title

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor RICHMOND – It’s safe to s RICHMOND – It’s safe to say that the Lee-Davis boys track and field team ran away from the competition, whether the Confederates were running or something else.

Lee-Davis scored nearly three times as many points as second-place Glen Allen, 23277, to claim the Conference 11 boys track and field championship at Mills Godwin Friday night.

Glen Allen won the girls title, followed by J.R. Tucker and Mills Godwin. The Confederate girls finished fourth.

Hanover’s girls finished second and the Hawks’ boys finished third in the Conference 20 meet at Huguenot Wednesday.

Midlothian swept both team titles, with Dinwiddie coming in second in the girls team standings.

Lee-Davis head coach Neil Mathews said everyone was healthy and ready for the postseason to begin.

“We’re pretty happy with how we did. Everybody just kind of did their job,” Mathews said. “I think they were a little excited that the postseason is finally here. They’ve been waiting for a chance to get back since indoors. We have most

The Confederates had multiple individual champions: Nicholas Corbin in the 110meter and 300-meter hurdles (he also tied for first with teammate Brandon Brooks in the high jump), Dallas Jackson won the long jump and triple jump, and Connor Scott won the shot put and discus. Jarel Braxton, Jamon Coffey, Jamir Johnson and Josh Rice won the 400 relay; Alex Slinkman won the pole vault and Christian Gilliam won the 400 dash.

Rachel Crytser won a pair of events for the Hawks in the Conference 20 girls championships. She came in first in the 1,600 run and also won the 3,200 run. Sophie Kinney won the 100 hurdles for Hanover.

“We did OK,” said Hanover head coach Rich Firth. “I think we’re going in the right direction – the kids are working hard. …

I’m proud of them.”

Street Parties: KOS has town partying its Ashland off

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — Perfect weather, the sweet sounds of classic soul music and an idyllic setting alongside the railroad tacks can only mean one thing if you are anywhere near the Center of the Universe — the Ashland Street Party is back!

For the 14th year, Ashland’s signature concert series attracted sell-out crowds as the Kings of Swing, now known as KOS, brought their experienced brand of rhythm and blues to the kickoff event for this season.

“We always have a great crowd when KOS plays and the weather couldn’t have been any better,” said Ashland Street Parties (ASP) board member Marnie Triscari.

KOS has a loyal following of local fans, and the street party has become a fixture on the band’s schedule. The group traces its beginnings to just north of Ashland at Kings Dominion where the group formed to fill a slot at the newly opened theme park, and have been playing Motown favorites, classic oldies and disco ever since.

This year’s concert series has partnered with Origin Beer Lab in Ashland, which will craft and label a special ale for each of the three concerts scheduled for this year.

“They are partnering with us and crafting a special beer for each one of our events.

That’s new for this year,” board member Trey Flanagan said.

The inaugural brew was called “Party Your Ashland Off” and seemed to be garnering a positive response from the many who sampled the special brew.

Flanagan said the event is enjoying continued success due to the unique audience, good bands and great atmosphere.

“This is a great community event that appeals to a crosssection of people,” he said. “It looks like a great year coming up. We’ve got KOS, Premiere

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

Ashland Street Parties kicked off Saturday evening with KOS (formerly known as Kings of Swing). As usual, the crowd enjoyed the music and danced the night away.

Band and English Channel.”

Flanagan said KOS is the perfect fit for the party, offering a wide array of musical choices. “They play a lot of different genres which is one of the reasons we wanted them

here,” he said. “We don’t get pigeon-holed into one particular type of music.”

Triscari said another key element of the event’s success is the squad of volunteers who man the concert. She said

some of them return each year to assist with the project.

The Kiwanis Club runs the food and the Ashland Strawberry Faire runs the beer sales, but the corporate sponsors — who back the series each year — are the

real heart of the event.

“They come here and work tirelessly for this event,” Flanagan said.

Even with the years of practice, setting up is no easy task, and work begins early Saturday for the evening concert. “We are blessed to have some great volunteers. We have people here from the Town of Ashland as early as 7:30 a.m. to set up, and people continue to set up all day. It’s a collaborative event,” Flanagan said.

The concert series has achieved regional notoriety, and many return season after season to attend the concerts.

“After 14 years, we’ve obtained a following and we have folks from places like Fredericksburg and farther north who come back for the concerts,” Flanagan said.

Another staple of the long running series is honorary emcee and local radio personality Bill Blevins. He happened upon the event the first year it was held, and has returned each year to announce the bands.

“I was living out here at the time and they asked me to come up and make some announcements, so I did,” Blevins said.

Although he doesn’t reside in Ashland now, Blevins has returned each year as honorary emcee. He explained why. “This is truly a community party,” he said. “It’s a great atmosphere and another thing I like is that people dance from the first note.”

Next on the Ashland Street Parties lineup is the Premiere Band on Aug. 19. Tickets are available in advance and doors open at 6:30 p.m.
