Collaborative efforts aid in widening of U.S. 360

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE — Hanover County officials first envisioned a plan to improve the intersection at Lee Davis Road and U.S. 360 more than two decades ago.

Last week, that project took a major step forward toward completion as the project was added to next year’s six-year improvement plan.

There’s been an abundance of disappointing

news regarding the county’s efforts to make vital upgrades to its secondary roads, but the ruling from Virginia’s Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) approving funds for a vital project provided a needed glimmer of hope.

Kroger nixes plans for new store

Have A Dog Gone Good 4th of July!

By Tammie Smith Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE — Kroger is pulling the plug on a new store planned for Mechanicsville.

The chain canceled plans to build a new Kroger on Mechanicsville Turnpike, just west of Compass Point Lane, in Hanover County. Instead, the company will spend $3.5 million to improve an existing Kroger store not far from where the new store would have been built.

Also scrapped were plans to build a new Kroger in Colonial Heights.

One analyst said Kroger’s actions may be evidence that the Richmond area has more grocery stores than the region’s population can support.

“Richmond has seen an explosion of new investment from food retailers in recent years, and the fact that about half of Martin’s stores were not picked up by competing food retailers would indicate perhaps that the demand is subsiding despite significant arrivals from Publix, Lidl and Wegmans,” said Jon Springer, retail editor for the industry publication Supermarket News.

Springer said Cincinnati-based Kroger, the nation’s largest traditional supermarket retailer, has said new store returns have continued to exceed the cost of capital to build them, but its recent new stores have not been achieving the returns the company would have liked.

“This is in part because of an overabundance of square footage devoted to

food in many markets — likely Richmond among them,” Springer said.

“Kroger is also preserving capital for investment in other kinds of growth such as acquisitions of stores from retailers that have gone out of business, store renovations and addition of e-commerce capabilities,” Springer said.

Kroger representatives informed Colonial Heights officials of the company’s decision not to move forward with the store during a closed session of a specially called City Council meeting Tuesday. The chain later released a statement.

“We understand that our decision to not build the Colonial Heights store may seem confusing or cause frustration, and we sincerely apologize to those who antici-

Tomato Festival time spurs fond memories

Take the time to celebrate the 4th with a U.S. veteran

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor My first official day with Richmond Suburban News was July 14, 2008. I had driven in from Winchester on July 5 to see first-hand what the Hanover Tomato Festival meant to the community and what kind of turnout there would be for the annual event.

Well, arriving around 1 p.m. was eye-opening, to say the least. Traffic was moving pretty well through Pole Green Park so I continued driving and catching glimpses here and there of what was taking place on the grounds.

Fast forward to 2009 when I had settled in and was getting acquainted with more and more community, elected and business leaders, as well as our readers. That festival would prove to make history with over 40,000 people attending. Wow!

The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and Hanover County Parks and Recreation staff, in addition to the Hanover Tomato Festival Committee, worked tirelessly to keep traffic flowing. That year’s event was so popular that vehicles were backed up to Interstate 295. Talk about a successful festival.

Anyway, in the years since it has been a tradition for so many of us to head out the second Saturday in July (the date was changed from the first Saturday due to any conflict with the Fourth of July holiday) to Pole Green Park. That tradition will continue on July 8.

I always get a little melancholy at Tomato Festival time though, since Oscar Watson, who was the driving force behind the event, passed away. He was a kind and helpful man.

Oscar and members of the Black Creek

Volunteer Fire Department started the festival as a fundraiser to assist with purchasing equipment and paying for training. Proceeds from the sales of the Hanover Tomatoes go the fire department.

As for the famous tomatoes, this year will be a sad one after the death of Robby Dodd, who supplied the fruit since 1978 when the festival began.

His widow assured me after his passing that their farm would provide the tomatoes this year.

What a legacy for Black Creek. Two key men who were involved in what started as a very small event remain part of the day.

The festival runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 8996 Pole Green Park at Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville. Mark your calendar for Saturday, July 8. It is quickly approaching.

See you on the 8th as we celebrate the Hanover Tomato and remember Oscar and Robby.

Here’s to ‘last call’ and remembering Harry Wood

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist It’s funny how you sometimes think you know someone for almost a lifetime, and then you discover that you only were acquainted with a small portion of his or her time on earth.

In the late 1970s, Shockoe Bottom was alive with activity as new liquor by the drink restrictions were eased, and, for the first time, Richmonders

bellied up to the bar for a mixed drink.

The Tobacco Company Restaurant was in the center of the newly acquired tastes, and customers lined up four deep at the elaborate bar for service.

I found myself on the opposite side of that bar, struggling with a group of enthusiastic bartenders trying in vain to keep up with the frenzied pace that seemed to never end.

It was my first encounter with Harry Wood, who came to work as a barback, the real driving force behind any bar. He humped ice and washed glasses, and quickly moved up to bartender.

For years, an unbelievably talented staff manned the bar on the first floor as the restaurant secured a reputation for good food, drinks and entertainment.

For most of us, tending bar serves as a bridge to some other goal in our life, and it was no different for Harry or me. I finally graduated from college and obtained a job at the post office, while Harry pursued a career in the granite business.

We will soon be celebrating the Fourth of July in some cases with family and friends. Take a moment if you can and spend it with a veteran, no matter which branch.

I know there’s a private war between the Army and Marines, but we don’t want to get their dander up.

I was so glad, but saddened, when those who served in previous years and our veterans of the Vietnam era finally got that wall and a well deserved memorial. That Black Wall says it all.

Young men who were proud to serve their country, but, at the same time, there was no choice. They were for the most part fresh out of high school and were forced to do so.

The staggering number that never made it back home is still in our hearts.

While Memorial Day remembers our fallen, the Fourth is our time to celebrate all those with us now.

Vietnam has always been my focus, because those young men — most would have gone anyway — did not have the choice. They were drafted; Congress made that choice and forced them to go into a jungle, conditions unbearable.

They did not have eyes on the enemy. They were sent to control many captured. If that wasn’t bad enough, they came home without getting that well deserved “Welcome Home!” They never got that.

Many would become homeless.

That’s on us because we did not give them the love and care they needed and deserved.

I know decades later I went on a class trip with my daughter to an art museum in Washington, D.C. Before we exited the bus, the bus driver gave us instructions that there were homesee LETTERS, pg. 6

HEF, Dominion recognized with Weiss Awards

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

Sara Dunnigan, director of Virginia’s Board of Workforce Development, told Hanover Business Council members that workplace development is key to Virginia’s rapidlychanging business and industry environment. She was the keynote speaker at last week’s Hanover Business Council’s breakfast networking meeting.

the Marc Weiss Hanover Workforce Awards to recognize outstanding businesses in the county and celebrate Weiss’s positive impact on the local business community.

“Marc was the economic director for Hanover County, a trusted liaison to the business community,” said Hanover Business Council chair Franklin Butler. “He was dedicated to the Hanover community, its businesses and gracious friend to the Hanover Business Council. He diligently worked to make Hanover and the Richmond region a worldclass location for business . . . and an unsurpassed quality of life that we all treasure.”

Last week, the group announced its winners for this year’s awards, naming Dominion Energy as its selection for large business of the year and the Hanover Education Foundation as the winner of the small business award.

Dunnigan said one of the first people she encountered when she moved to this area was Marc Weiss. “He loved this community and he shared my passion . . and he really understood the importance of workplace development and helping existing businesses in the county grow,” she said.

“We have got to be very diligent and be very creative in the way we engage business and the labor market,” Dunnigan said.

She noted the number of

unfilled jobs listed in Virginia, many of them remaining vacant due to a lack of qualified applicants. “Those unfilled jobs are unrealized potential,” Dunnigan said.

Creating a highly trained and accessible workforce is one of the board’s major objectives, and Dunnigan said that takes a team effort involving businesses, government and citizens.

Virginia’s economy is situated to take advantage of a confluence of factors that creates what Dunnigan described as the perfect storm. The combination of many Baby Boomers reaching retirement see WEISS, pg. 39

less veterans in the park area where we were and we were to ignore them and not have any contact with them. That made me angry and is still stuck in my mind today.

Even family members of veterans would downplay their reactions to different situations. There was person I worked with for a short time.

I would listen to her husband who, at times, would break into tears. She would always pass it off and say he was just being silly and he’d get over it. That’s usually when he’d leave the area. The symptoms were ignored by doctors. Now, decades later, they finally work up and labeled it PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

I wasn’t there, but I can understand. I was a victim of domestic abuse. An uncle of the abuser saw the bruises and told me “not to say anything,” he’d take care of it. Several months later we moved out of state.

Though there is no comparison, I can relate. I had to learn behavioral patterns, being aware of my surroundings, trying to stay a step ahead of the enemy on my own, shutting that part off from the world.

you leave so you know they work when you want them to work.

Today, there are hundreds of inexpensive trail cameras.

Set some outdoors and at least one inside.

Post signs that your property is electronically monitored.

Please, please, please, never, never, never send a blanket email “Please don’t send me e-mail for the next two weeks because we will be in Florida”.

Believe me, Joe and Sally will have a big “Thank you” note plastered all over your house when you return. “Thanks for the beautiful silverware, for all those high-priced firearms, that 64-inch TV and, oh, yes, that beautiful mink coat!”

Make entering your home as difficult as possible. If you don’t have storm doors that have a lock on them, replace your doors’ handles so they can be locked.

If you have a garage, lock the vehicles you won’t be driving.

Tell your “trusted” neighbor or family member that you will be on vacation.

Call the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and get House Watch. I do this even if I am going to be away only two nights. A super service and, believe me, you are paying for that service, so use it.

Maybe your neighbor would be willing to park one of his vehicles in your driveway some nights. Make every effort to present a picture “We are

home!”

Remember the song “Summer Time”? One of the lyrics went something like “Summer time and the living is easy”.

Well, believe me, there are those out there singing that song because they are the ones thinking “What is mine is mine and I am going to get what is yours if I can.”

Vacation time is the prime time when Joe the Crook and Sally the Heister are busy 24/7.

Now there are some things we all can do to keep these crooks out of our home and prevent them from getting our property.

Preparation is the key!

Ever go by those homes with two weeks of newspapers on the front lawn? The megaphone is blaring “I am not home so come on in!”

Ever see packages stacked by the mailbox? “Take what you want and a thank you is not necessary!”

Please stop your newspaper delivery two to three days before you leave. The message “Stop delivery” might not have gotten to the person delivering you paper.

If you have “home delivered mail”, again, have it stopped at least two days before you leave.

If need be, go by the post office and get your mail before you leave.

Joe and Sally are cruising your neighborhood constantly and they really gets excited when they see a house’s whose lights are off “all night long” consistently. Get a timer and set them so they will come on at approximates time you do your daily routine. Set those timers at least three days before

And while I can count the list of great bartenders in this city on one hand, Harry’s skills and personality became legendary.

As a former bartender, I certainly appreciated Harry’s patience and tenacity slinging drinks. It’s not an easy job, and when I left the profession in the early 1980s, I vowed that any future drinks I made would be strictly personal in nature.

Never say never. When my

twins were born in 2004 and I realized that two sets of diapers costs twice as much as one, I picked up a part-time job tending bar at the Hilton. It was only one night a week, but I found myself counting the minutes until last call, and the romance of tending bar had lost its glamour for me. I only lasted until my kids were potty trained.

But, Harry continued,

eventually assuming his familiar role at Enzo’s on Friday evenings.

As I sat in a small filled sanctuary last week along with Harry’s many friends, I quickly realized that Harry’s kindness, generosity and congeniality affected more than the customers who faithfully followed him through decades of bartending.

Although I had known

Harry as a good friend, colleague, roommate and confidant, most who sat in silence knew him in his most important role — father.

As his daughters sang and recited poems and his sister memorialized him, Harry’s real impact on this world was no mystery. He was a devoted husband, father, brother and friend first … and a great bartender second.

and flashbacks may happen.

Don’t back away, reach out and give them a moment of your time. Allow them to feel free in that anything they may say will be between you. Talking to trusted people can be helpful.

Some memories can be helpful in the end. That will be your gift. Don’t tell them or advise them what to do. Don’t feel sorry for them — they don’t need that. What they need is understanding and, above all, to be treated like a human.

POW — MIA — KIA — WIA — YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN This Fourth, fly a flag in honor of all of our service men and women. Let them know we do care. Take a moment to visit our Virginia War Memorial or a special spot. Unplug and just listen and enjoy the moment.

Get your local radio station to pull up a great song, “God Bless the U.S.A.” by Lee Greenwood. I get teary-eyed every time I play it. Not only is it a great song, but knowing this great country and Americans are becoming extinct.

Garden lovers must see Civil War trench I want to pass along to the residents of Mechanicsville and Hanover County one of the best kept secrets in our community. Stuart Williams has converted a Civil War trench beside his home and his yard into a must-see for garden lovers.

He has tens of thousands of daylilies that he has hybridized and they are absolutely beautiful. This year he has added 70 hibiscus to enhance the beauty into the fall. And it is illuminated at night!

Stuart doesn’t sell any plants but will dig a few for the serious gardeners. And he does it all with the use of one hand as he had cerebal palsy as a child.

Prime flowering season is around the 4th of July and is a sight to behold.

His address is 5967 Anvil Lane(off Colts Neck and Walnut Grove). Be sure to bring camera.

pated our store opening. Our company has made a decision to focus our efforts on improving the customer experience at existing stores through renovations and innovative technology,” the Kroger statement said.

“As a result of this new direction to focus on our 18 existing stores in the Richmond market, Kroger will invest approximately $3.5 million into its Mechanicsville Turnpike location to enhance the store in its current location, instead of building a new store,” Kroger’s statement said.

The Colonial Heights and Mechanicsville stores had been in the planning stages for some time.

Plans for the Colonial Heights store date back to 2013.

In late 2015, Kroger bought the former Colonial Heights courthouse site for $2.56 million with plans to build a 95,000-squarefoot store. The 9½-acre courthouse lot is about a quartermile west of Interstate 95.

“We are disappointed for several reasons. It was going to generate over 200 jobs and revenue for the city,” said Colonial Heights Mayor T. Gregory Kochuba.

“That whole area over there would be given a face-lift. We’re very disappointed,” he said.

Kochuba said the sales contract with Kroger for the property contained clauses that see KROGER, pg. 26

On this recent Father’s Day, my thoughts were with Harry’s four beautiful daughters as they encountered the day without him … or maybe not. He left them with memories that will last a lifetime and the satisfaction that Harry’s most important role in a life well lived was being their father.

RIP, Harry. We’ll miss you, and, relax; the next round is on the house.

Gaines’ Mill boardwalk built by scout, volunteers Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND — At the Battle of Gaines’ Mill on June 27, 1862, Boatswain’s Creek was an obstacle that separated contending Union and Confederate forces.

Today, thanks to the efforts of local Eagle Scout Wyatt Schneck and dozens of volunteers from Scout Troop 534 and Fort Lee, a new boardwalk at Gaines’ Mill Battlefield allows visitors to safely cross the creek and follow in the footsteps of the soldiers. This project marks part

of a larger effort by the National Park Service in Richmond to create a trail on 300 recentlyacquired acres on the Gaines’ Mill Battlefield.

On 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 8, the park will hold the first public tour to cross the bridge, along with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Part of the park’s popular History at Sunset programs, the tour will begin at 6283 Watt House Rd. in Mechanicsville.

Fire-EMS recommends leaving fireworks to the professionals Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

Illustration submitted by Jason Williams

HANOVER — Each July Fourth, thousands of people, most often children and teens, are injured while using consumer fireworks.

Battalion Chief Jason Williams, who serves as public information officer, said Hanover FireEMS recommends enjoying one of the many public fireworks displays in the area put on by experts. “Hanover Fire-EMS is opposed to the con-

sumer use of fireworks. Even sparklers and firecrackers burn hot enough to cause third degree burns,� he said.

In Hanover it is unlawful and a class 1 misdemeanor, punishable with up to a $2,500 fine and up to one year in jail, for anyone who discharges fireworks without a permit.

This includes any firecrackers, sky rockets, or any object that explodes, rises into the air, or travels laterally, or fires projectiles into the air.

Exceptions to this are sparklers, fountains,

Pharaoh’s serpents, caps for pistols, pinwheels commonly known as whirligigs or spinning jennies, which may only be used on private property with the consent of the owner of such property. “We want families to enjoy the July 4th holiday safely, and our department discourages the use of consumer fireworks, Williams said. “There are many public displays in the area that are a much safer option for you to see FIREWORKS, pg. 15

many contributors to this project have accomplished,” said Superintendent David Ruth. “Richmond National Battlefield Park has grown by leaps and bounds the past few years, and it is our goal to open up these lands via trails and new signage so the public can connect with these incredible places and stories.”

Schneck worked closely with Kristen Allen, chief of Cultural and Natural Resources at Richmond National Battlefield Park, for over six months to plan the project, which was completed in early May. National Park Service staff built the foundation of the bridge during a series of volunteer work days utilizing nearly 100 local volunteers, while Schneck and an additional cadre of scouts and volunteers completed the bridge by adding decking boards and curbs.

from the rescue squad.

They certainly allowed us the ability to build a new church and that’s the plan. It will on Walnut Grove Road right across from the East Hanover Rescue Squad.

“I was first approached -- it would have been April of 2015.

Through all of the back and forth, we were trying to figure out whether this was an offer that was a valid offer. We had some negotiations that took place and then we brought the congregation on board in December of 2015,” the pastor said.

“When the offer became serious to the point that we felt like we now we knew more information, then we brought it to the congregation. We brought it primarily as information at first and then the second round was a series of questions and answers and then the third round was a congregational vote. It was a very strong majority – close to 90%.”

“The congregation, in general, is very ready to do what needs to be done to transition and move to the new chapter.

“This was not even on our radar,” Miller said, “and we

have simply been trying to take steps of faith one step at a time through this process.”

“It’s truly one amazing thing after another [with the Lord’s involvement]. I have never ceased to be amazed at what God has done.”

He referred to the scripture from Galatians 5:25, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”

The sale on the property closed on June 16 and the final sale was on June 19.

For a year, Shalom Baptist services are being held at Pole Green Elementary School

while the new church is under construction.

“We are worshipping on Sundays at 8:30 and 11 a.m. and having Sunday School at Pole Green Elementary, and then our sister church, Broadus Church on Pole Green Road, has been gracious enough to allow us to use their facility on Tuesday for mid-week Bible study, small groups, and things,” Miller added.

“I’m not sure exactly when groundbreaking will be, but our hope is to be in the new facility in mid-summer of 2018.”\

Department at 804-365-6195.

In 2014, U.S. hospital emergency rooms treated an estimated 10,500 people for fireworks related injuries.

On Independence Day in a typical year, far more U.S. fires are reported than on

any other day, and fireworks account for two out of five of those fires, more than any other cause of fires.

The risk of fireworks injury was highest for young people ages 15-24, followed by

children under 10.

Sparklers cause more injuries and emergency room visits than any other type of firework.

Facts: In 2013, almost 16,000 fires were caused by fireworks in the U.S. Through Schneck’s fundraising campaign, a number of local organizations provided financial support, including Apache Lumber, Moose Lodges, VFWs, the Mechanicsville Ruritan Club, several individual contributors, and a fundraising dinner organized by Schneck. The Mechanicsville Home Depot also donated materials and a generator.

The Battle of Gaines’ Mill, part of the Seven Days Battles that occurred near Richmond in 1862, was Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s first major victory during the Civil War, and it was one of the costliest days in American history at that time.

The new church will have more office space, a larger sanctuary and a family life center/gym area.

“We’re working hard in the school,” Miller said. “We have been so appreciative to Pole Green Elementary and their staff – they have helped us so much. And also Broadus, they have certainly been a huge blessing to us.”

An enthusiastic and grateful Miller acknowledged that the purchase and upcoming new church are due to the Lord’s work. “I give all the glory to God throughout this process.”

and employees of businesses in Ashland with an in-depth look at how the local government functions, an opportunity to hold discussions regarding important town issues with Ashland leaders, staff and other engaged citizens. “This year we had 14 graduates; we’ve had them go through nine courses, going through each of our departments, as well a thorough discussion of leadership and each of them have written a short essay explaining what they would like to do to improve the Town of Ashland. All of them have done a great job at doing that,� Collins said.

The citizen leadership academy also prepares its pupils to serve on boards, commissions, committees and neighborhoods in the town.

Graduates are honored with a reception at Ashland Town Hall, granted official recognition by town council and are considered for future committee appointments. “I just want to note that over the last two months, we’ve had almost 20 interviews for various Planning Commission, Town Council, and Parks and Recreation [seats] – and the number of very qualified people who have come from this citizen leadership academy, or in this class, is very heartwarming; so, whatever you do, please stay involved,�

Foley said.

Those who are accepted into the program are expected to have regular attendance, actively engage in the Ashland community and to explore new ways to learn about and contribute to the future of the “Center of The Universe.�

Ashland’s website provides multiple anonymous testimonials from graduates of the

academy.

One graduate from the class of 2015 posted, “[The academy] gave good insight into how the money flows, and therefore what the priorities are.�

Another 2015 testimonial said, “This was a great experience and I learned so much, and have a new appreciation for everyone that works for the Town and all that they do.�

Foley presented the graduates of the 2016-17 class with their certificates for completing the academy at the June 20 Council meeting.

They included: Linda Feeley, Kelley Merrill, Michael Wilken, Courtney Rowe, Joie Carter, Apphia Downing, Janet Thorn, M. Suzanne Allen, Lynn Jordan-Coker, Scott Rowe, Linda Pearson, Mayor James Foley, Tom Wulf, Joseph Collins, clerk of counci, Melissa Vaughan and Steve Sawyer.

traditional, nor entirely contemporary. They write a good portion of their material, and arrange covers to make them their own.

Circa Blue is known for tight vocal harmonies, clean instrumentation, and creative

arrangements.

The band features Steve Harris on guitar, Jacob Bly on upright bass, Matt Hickman on banjo, Ryan Mullins on mandolin, and Malia Furtado on fiddle.

The band released its

debut CD, recorded at Echoes Recording Studio, in February 2012.

The popular Bluemont Summer concert series is made possible by success-

trainers, animal handlers, etc., and will learn what it takes to work with these amazing creatures as pets.

Nestled on five acres, Hanover Humane’s facility has a full-service Boarding and Grooming Kennel and a home equipped with a Wellness Clinic, a kennel, play yard, and wooded walking trails.

Camp activities will be conducted both indoors and outdoors, weather permitting.

To better meet the needs of the campers, course materials and activities have been arranged for rising second through fifth graders.

There are a limited number

tion schedule until Sept. 5.

Entrance-fee prices pertaining to Ashland residents and non-residents are available on the town’s website at www.town.ashland.va.us/ facilities.

The range of prices defer between “individual,” “family,” “senior (age 60+)” and “care-

giver.”

Collins did note that the bathroom on the outside of Carter Park Pool stays open from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m., and there are automatic magnets pre-set to lock the doors at 9 p.m.

“But if you happen to be in there at 8:59 [p.m.] and it

locks, there is a release button,” he said, referring to how no one will have to spend the night inside the bathroom if they find themselves in that situation.

As for the Playful City USA designation, in which the town strives to maintain, Collins said Ashland is work-

ing with the Capital Region Collaborative towards a goal for a “playful region,” in terms of the surrounding metropolitan counties.

“We all applied and we actually all got it. So, this is our first year getting that; [it’s] pretty exciting,” Collins said.

According to its website,

Playful Cities USA is a recognition program that honors cities and towns that ensure that the children in their communities, particularly kids from lowincome families, receive the balanced and active play that they need in order to thrive in their youth.

valuable piece of property once the roundabout is complete,” Kochuba said.

The roundabout, which is under construction, will replace a signalized intersection on Temple Avenue at the nearby Interstate 95 interchange. The road work is part of $20 million in improvements being made at the interchange.

Kroger’s statement said the company will work closely with Colonial Heights to “find a new, viable tenant for the property and cover the cost of demolishing the courthouse.”

“We want what is going to be best for the city. We don’t want to just settle for anything.

It’s right at the entrance to the city,” Kochuba said.

“We are just going to explore our options. This kind of caught us off guard a little bit,” Kochuba said.

Kroger commands the No. 2 market share in the Richmond region in terms of grocery sales, behind No. 1 Walmart, according to an annual market share report released this week by the trade publication Food

World.

Plans for the withdrawn Mechanicsville store were announced in September 2015.

A 113,530-square-foot store with an 18-pump fuel center was to replace the 55,000square-foot Kroger located about a quarter mile east at 6335 Mechanicsville Turnpike.

That existing Kroger, which opened in 2002, was the first newly constructed store in the region after the chain entered the Richmond market in 2000.

A new Publix Super Market is proposed for a development planned for Brandy Creek Drive less than a mile east of where the new Kroger was to go.

Providing advance notification to beekeepers of upcoming pesticide applications, which gives beekeepers an opportunity to reduce the impact of exposure by covering or moving hives;

Applying pesticides when bees are less likely to be foraging, preferably in the late afternoon and early evening; and

Establishing apiaries in areas where there is a reduced risk of potential pesticide exposure.

Virginia’s plan resulted from listening sessions held by VDACS statewide.

In addition to input from beekeepers, farmers and pesticide applicators, the agency heard from landowners, university researchers and industry groups.

The CAST commentary, Why Does Honey Bee Health Matter?, examined stressors threatening colony health and offered ways bees could be protected.

The authors of the paper encourage increasing pollinator foraging opportunities and enriching the natural habitat.

“Careful and appropriate pesticide use, conservation and sustainable agriculture practices will help ensure the availability of the pollinators needed to secure a stable food supply,” they wrote.

Virginia’s pollinator protection plan can be found at vdacs. virginia.gov/plant-industryservices-pollinator-protectionplan.shtml.

“A Tradition of Experience and Devotion to Family Law” 524080-01

RICHMOND — The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services released its pollinator protection plan just as a task force for the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology published a commentary examining honey bee health stressors.

Virginia’s Voluntary Plan to Mitigate the Risk of Pesticides to Managed Pollinators addresses solutions to reduce the risk of pesticides to honeybees and other pollinators.

The guidelines dovetail with the findings in the CAST commentary.

“Here in Virginia and across the nation, people are concerned about the loss of honey bees,” said VDACS Commissioner Sandy Adams.

“And we have developed a plan that focuses on communication between pesticide applicators and beekeepers and the use of best management practices by farmers, beekeepers and pesticide applicators to protect our pollinators.”

Nearly one-third of fruits and vegetables depend — directly or indirectly — upon insect-pollinated plants by species, such as honeybees and other pollinators, noted Tony Banks, a Virginia Farm Bureau Federation commodity marketing specialist.

“Virginia crops that depend on pollinators to develop their fruits include apples, pumpkins, cucumbers, squash and blueberries,” he said.

The pollinator plan emphasizes reducing pesticide exposure to managed pollinators.

Examples include:

Full-Service Hospital • Preventative Medicine • Routine and Elective Surgery • Radiology In-house Laboratory • Dentistry Boarding • Laser Pain Treatment Boarding Service Available • Extended Saturday Hours

Steve Rykal shared the following facts about the Asian tiger mosquito: They breed in standing water that has collected in containers and other man-made items.

They don’t breed in ponds or

puddles of water over soil.

They live throughout Virginia.

They tend to bite during the day rather than at night.

The usual pesticide spraying is not effective against them.

They typically spend their entire lives within a 200-yard area.

They develop into adults in about 10 days.

Rykal encourages residents to pick one day a week through October to check for breeding sites on their property.

He said pick one day per week to

empty or change the water in these possible mosquito breeding sites: Bird baths.

Boat and cover.

Buckets.

Drain pipes.

Artificial fish ponds.

Flower pots/trays.

Items behind a shed.

Items under a deck.

Rain barrels and cisterns.

Recycling bins.

Swimming pools.

National Night Out to be observed Aug. 1 Sheriff encourages communities to notify his office about plans so they can express thanks Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com HANOVER — The time has come to start planning for the National Night Out 2017 in Hanover County.

This year’s date is Tuesday, Aug. 1.

Sgt. James R. Cooper, speaking on behalf of Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, said, “National Night Out is an annual event designed to strengthen our communities by encouraging neighborhoods to engage in stronger relationships with each other and with their local law enforcement partners.”

“The goal is to heighten crime-prevention awareness, build support and participation in local anti-crime programs, and

most importantly, send a message that our neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. It’s also the perfect opportunity to

get to know your neighbors even better,” he added.

In 2016, Hanover County ranked 14th in the nation of communities of a similar size. “Another excellent example of the partnership between the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and the community we serve,” Cooper said.

“If your community is planning to have an event on this night to celebrate National Night Out, or you would like more information about National Night Out, please contact Investigator Chris Stem at 804365-6401 or by email at cjstem@hanovercounty.gov by July 17, 2017, so that we can Photo submitted by Sgt.

Dejarnette Park to Stoney Run Trail is a priority.

He said another priority the Parks and Recreation Department is focusing on is improving the connectivity of

the Carter Park pathways with Stoney Run Trail. “[That’s] a really good point, because there’s no real sidewalk or trail or anything to get to Stoney Run Trail,”

Collins said.

Toward the conclusion of the meeting, committee members talked about the current Ashland Town Hall study, and how the garden surrounding

that property is considered a park and how they wouldn’t want a parking lot to take that over.

Collins advised members that the town would be hosting

public information meetings for the public to add input in the coming months. He said he would notify them of those dates when they are made available.

Post 175 back from beach week with a bang

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Local American Legion baseball teams took most of the past week off for Beach Week, but Mechanicsville Post 175 returned from the break ready to hit the basepaths.

On Sunday, Mechanicsville jumped on visiting Lakeside Post 125 early with five runs in the second inning and coasted to a 12-3 win at Lee-Davis High School.

Post 175 shortstop Jonathan Spaulding had only one hit against Post 125, but he made it count, sending it into the LeeDavis stadium parking lot for a three-run home run.

“I was being aggressive at the plate, but I had a couple of pop-outs – so that wasn’t too great,” Spaulding said.

But the recent Patrick Henry graduate used his head when he connected for the home run off Lakeside starter Jake Lingle.

“He was struggling to throw some strikes, actually,” Spaulding said. “I took a first pitch, and I said if the second one is there, I’m hitting it.

“I’m a first-pitch kind of guy.

Coach [Sam] Hart at PH, does not like it. We always joke about it. He hates it when I do it, but sometimes it works. … I hate to Canon Lambert was the hit prove coach Hart right, but it leader for Post 175, going 3-ofpaid off to take that first pitch 5 with a double, one run and and hit the second one.” three RBI.

Saturday, in a rematch with West End Post 361 at Hermitage High School, Post 175 found itself in a dogfight through the first four innings, but the team erupted for six runs in the fifth inning and added four more in the sixth to roll to a 17-6 victory.

Lambert was on fire against Post 361, going 3-of-4 with a home run, two runs scored a double, two runs and two and six RBI. Sean Parker RBI; and Brian Rollison also and Antonio Balducci each knocked in a pair of runs for knocked in a pair of runs for Mechanicsville (3-0).

Lenart has big night for Racers in pool and out

By Caroline Naumann and Dave Lawrence Mechanicsville Local ROCKVILLE – Rockville head coach Cody Lenart, who also doubles as a star swimmer for the team, said it was not only the energy the swimmers had in the pool, but also the energy and enthusiasm shown outside of the pool that was a key component to their victory Wednesday over the visiting Piranhas from Pebble Creek.

“I was very proud not only with how we swam, but how much energy we had,” Lenart said. “When I was standing behind the clerk of the course I could feel the excitement radiating from the kids.”

That energy has kickstarted the 2017 Greater Richmond Aquatic League summer season for the Rockville Racers with a victory in their first meet of

the season against Raintree followed by their 860-783 win over the Piranhas.

The Piranhas have struggled in the beginning of this season due to the absence of 18 of their swimmers.

“We’ve had a little bit of a rough start missing 18 of our swimmers at both of the first two meets,” said Pebble Creek head coach Morgan Steiner.

“I’m really proud of the swimmers for having fewer disqualifications than we had at this point last year, so I’m optimistic about the rest of the season.”

The Racers added to their win by breaking four records along the way. Lenart took a break from coaching for a few minutes to break three of those records himself, as well as swimming the butterfly leg of the 200 medley that broke the team’s fourth record of the night.

HCPS selling graduation DVDs L-DHS Class of 1977’s 40th reunion set Staff Report news@mechlocal.com According to Chris R. Whitley, public information officer, TV99 and the Hanover Education Foundation are selling DVDs of the 2017 graduations.

“If you would like a high quality professional video of

walks was added to the CTB’s six-year improvement plan last week.

The intersection has caused major traffic delays for years.

The CTB’s decision to include the US. 360 project in its six-year improvement plan was the result of a collaborative effort that included Mike Flagg, director of Public Works, and Board of Supervisors chair Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Del. Chris Peace, R-97, and members of the CTB. The original project application did not make the state’s final cut, but Peace and KellyWiecek would not take no for an answer and attended a CTB public hearing in May and spoke in favor of the project’s funding.

Peace got the good news last week, but his efforts began much earlier when he realized the county’s dilemma with the

age, advanced technology and a global economy will create the need for millions of jobs in the Commonwealth in the next decade.

While in the past companies could simply respond to changing workforce conditions, Dunnigan said they should be the catalyst for change in today’s economy and

this year’s graduation, this is your chance,” Whitley said.

“The DVDs are only $25 and will be mailed to your home four to six weeks after the event. “This is a keepsake that you will want to have for years to come.”

Previous graduations also are available for purchase.

Whitley said, “We have an archive from the early 2000s until last year. Older graduation ceremonies cost $35, so don’t forget to order your 2017 keepsake DVD today.”

For more information on ordering, go to TV99 at http://hanover.k12.va.us/ tv99/.

project.

In a meeting with Flagg, Peace learned that the intersection improvements were one of five envisioned more than two decades ago that remained uncompleted.

After meeting with KellyWiecek and other officials, including CTB members, Peace decided to include the project’s request to the already completed list of approved projects.

The need to explore every option when it comes to road funding also was on KellyWiecek’s mind. “There are a lot of conversations going on about how we address secondary roads, and, again, we are eager to partner with our General Assembly delegation where we can make real progress.”

Kelly-Wiecek said the state’s SmartScale program is achieving its goals of prioritizing projects, but it won’t solve all of Hanover’s road problems.

“When you put our secondary projects in to a SmartScale type model, they’re just not competitive enough.”

The solution to that problem could be a regional partnership or transportation authorities like those established in Northern Virginia and Tidewater. The authorities can utilize a variety of methods to keep local revenues in the district and resulted in major projects like the widening of Interstate 64 to the beach and the Interstate 66 project in Northern Virginia.

“People are actually benefiting from the money generated in their area,” Peace said “The question is how much longer are we willing to wait in the Richmond region before we have some of those same benefits.”

Kelly-Wiecek said exploring regional options when it comes to a long wish list of road projects would comprise a vital part of the funding equa-

tion. “We are going to look at projects from a regional basis and regional funding.”

Peace agreed. “There’s not enough money in any six-year plan to address major road construction without something like an authority,” he said.

Both agreed that the revenue sharing program that supplied funding in the past is not robust enough to meet growing needs.

The past five months also have ensured that Hanover County officials are well acquainted with the SmartScale application process, a factor that could prove valuable for future projects.

“I have full confidence that Mike Flagg and his staff to work at the requirements of SmartScale and make our applications as competitive as possible,” Kelly-Wiecek said.

Peace pointed to another positive consequence of the efforts to obtain funding for

the U.S. 360 project.

“As part of this process, VDOT (Virginia Department of Transportation), Mike Flagg, Angela and county leaders agreed to try and work together and workshop and share ideas that the county has to VDOT, the CTB and to the Secretary’s office suggestions to improve legislation or just the policy process,” Peace said.

“I think that’s the other result of this endeavor to add this project to the six-year plan. It was simply to open that channel of communicate and get suggestions from an important locality to the state.”

The inclusion in this year’s round of funding for the state’s six-year plan represents a victory for citizens who encounter that intersection. More importantly, it’s the culmination of a process that could provide additional solutions in the future.

“As we move forward, I think it’s important that we

are highlighting our successes and thinking about new ways to collaborate and solve the challenges that are coming our way,” Kelly-Wiecek said.

Peace and Kelly-Wiecek agreed on the importance of the recent CTB announcement adding the Lee-Davis project to the list, the need for future collaboration is vital to solving local secondary road projects.

“We need to look for ways to collaborate with one another where funding is available, particularly in finding new ways to partnership going forward after this success to address secondary road issues in Hanover and New Kent counties,” Peace said.

A summary of the project on VDOT’s website lists the date of construction as 2022.

Engineering for the project is completed. Funding for the project is around $9 million in state funds with a county share of approximately $700,000.

“engage with employees in a new way.”

There also are increased expectations on local school systems to teach students relevant skills that allow them to obtain non-degree jobs that require certification or licensing.

While the state is investing money in workforce development, Dunnigan stressed the importance of business and industry partnerships in

addressing the demands.

Dunnigan fielded questions from the audience following her presentation.

Wayne Hazzard, who represents the South Anna District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, questioned the readiness of some job seekers to exhibit a level of enthusiasm and professionalism during the interview process.

He said young applicants often gaze at their phones and

seem uninterested in obtaining a job. He said he doesn’t question their aptitude, but has issues with their attitudes.

“One of the things I’ve seen is a change in attitude,” Hazzard said. “I’ve often said that aptitude is important, but attitude is everything. Some seem to think if they have the credentials, then they have the job.”

Dunnigan said there’s no substitute for good work expe-

rience for youths. The problem is that fewer are working now than at any time in history.

She suggested programs like internships and job-sharing opportunities could address those problems long term.

The Hanover Business Council receives applicants for the annual Marc Weiss awards, and a committee of council members evaluates and selects the winners by the following published criteria.

Applying innovative techniques to achieve a larger, better-trained, stable, safe and happy workforce.

Successfully creating jobs and/or incorporating innovative hiring techniques.

Creating innovative workplace cultures.

Using effective training strategies to optimize their workforce and develop future leaders.
