ASHLAND — A recent change to Hanover County Public Schools’ dress code continues to draw comments from the public, but the nature of the remarks has taken a positive turn in the past 30 days.

During a public comment period at the July meeting, a number of parents and students expressed their frustration with the new policy.

The school board addressed those concerns

at this month’s regular meeting with discussion and consideration of a revised version of the policy that included relaxed restrictions on the length of skirts and shorts and allowed the use of leggings when worn with a top that covered some of the pelvic area.

Chair Sue Dibble, South Anna District, called for the reopening of the issue when students and parents lined up at the July meeting to express concerns with the new guidelines, approved in see DRESS, pg. 4

Teen gets 6 years for crash that killed two friends

By Sean Gorman Richmond Times-Dispatch HANOVER — A former Lee-Davis High School student was sentenced Thursday to serve six years in prison for the deaths of two friends who were passengers in the pickup truck he drove off the road and slammed into a tree after he had been drinking last year.

Nickolas Seth Fleming, 19, was sentenced on two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of Dylan Ballard, 17, and Elliot Hinton, 22. He had pleaded guilty this year.

Authorities said Fleming had five passengers inside his 2001 extended-cab Dodge R a m pi ckup truck on April 23, 2016, when he lost BALLARD FLEMING

control of the vehicle as it rounded a curve in the 6000 block of Cold Harbor Road and crashed into a tree about 10:30 p.m.

Hanover County prosecutor Stephen Royalty said during Thursday’s sentencing hearing that Fleming had been drinking as well as driving aggressively before the crash. “All he was concerned HINTON

City gathers in attempt to start healing

By Patrick Wilson Richmond Times-Dispatch RICHMOND — Richmonders filled the plaza around the Slavery Reconciliation Statue on Sunday night to mourn the victims of violence in Charlottesville, encourage political action, and pray for President Donald Trump. “The battle to fight hatred, racism, prejudice and faces of evil is not over,� said state Del. Delores L. McQuinn, DRichmond, a pastor.

She and the Baptist Ministers Conference of Richmond and Vicinity joined Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Mayor Levar Stoney and other political and religious leaders for an hour-long vigil in the hot sun at the statue — which was unveiled in 2007 in the former capital of the Confederacy to signify Richmond’s key role in the international slave trade. “There needs to be legislation and there needs to be other things that speak to what we have witnessed,� McQuinn said.

DRESS Continued from pg. 1

June by the board with a number of other student conduct related revisions.

Parents and students expressed frustration in finding items that would be allowed under the new policy, and many students wore outfits banned by the updated policy.

Dibble heard those concerns and asked staff to reopen the discussion and consider revisions.

The board formed an advisory committee last December to comprise a county-wide dress code.

That focus group received public input and studied dress code policies in other school districts.

Prior to the June approval, the student conduct code offered guidelines to proper attire, but school principals

made the ultimate decision regarding appropriateness on their campuses.

“We were looking for more consistency in the policy,” Chris R. Whitley, HCPS public information officer, said.

“The intent of this focus group was to recommend that we pull together for consistency’s sake and for clarity’s sake,” assistant superintendent Jennifer Greif said.

Carrie Lindley is the spokesperson for a group of parents and students concerned over the dress code, and she applauded the division’s efforts to alleviate and address their objections to the new policy.

“I think the process was wonderful,” Lindley said after the meeting. “They responded immediately, setting up meetings with us, getting students involved. They were impressed with what the stu-

dents had to say and took it to heart.”

She also thanked Greif for gathering input from all the stakeholders as she prepared a revised code for school board consideration.

“It’s been such a cooperative experience,” Lindley said.

“The students who were part of that process have been empowered by what they did and feel the success they experienced.”

Greif ’s comments also reflected the importance of the public’s input and the collaborative nature of the process.

“I want to acknowledge our students and parents who have stayed involved in the process,” Greif said as she outlined her proposed dress code guidelines.

“We heard from parents and students to highlight areas where we might need to go back and reconsider some of the lan-

guage that we used,” she added.

Some concerns raised addressed equity, gender discrepancies, body image and age appropriate issues.

The equity issue was a consistent theme at last month’s meeting. “We also heard about equity issues in terms of pricing and availability of clothing in our retail markets,” Greif said.

The staff also considered age appropriateness and “if a dress codes should span K-12.”

The final revisions left the new policy in place with some distinct revisions. “We didn’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water,” Greif said.

She also noted the revised code and its guidelines will be revisited on an annual basis and adjusted accordingly.

School officials have scheduled meetings with county principals to outline the new policy and ensure consistent

Weekend stirs memories of Montgomery

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Growing up in Montgomery, Alabama, I was witness to more than one political protest and marches and demonstrations were not foreign to a state whose license plates bragged “Heart of Dixie.”

The State Capitol sat at one end of Dexter Avenue, sort of looking like Babylon on the hill with its bleached white stonework and neatly manicured grounds.

Montgomery’s downtown lined the remainder of Dexter Avenue with numerous businesses, restaurants and movie theaters.

As the Civil Rights Movement progressed, the marches became more regular, and many Saturdays were marked with a demonstration usually scheduled around midday.

It was more of a parade than the boisterous marches most of us associate with the era, and Gambians lined the streets just to watch the marchers as they proceeded toward the State Capitol.

I recall a summer day when I climbed atop one of the many trash containers and hugged a strategically located street light pole to get a better view of the people in the march.

I was surprised to see a group of nuns and priests walking quietly down the center of Dexter, heads slightly bowed in defiance.

As years progressed, we regularly heard of the efforts of one of Montgomery’s famous African American ministers named Martin Luther King Jr., and he spent many of his Saturdays organizing and participating in those marches.

I’m sure the many whites who lined one side of Dexter Avenue just to watch were not void of their own sense of racism, but I don’t recall the level of hate I see today displayed by either side in any of these demonstrations.

Montgomery had become infamous with racial tension and most associate the city with Rosa Parks and her efforts to seek equal treatment on public trasnportation.

I remember the passion, the commitment and the tenacity displayed on both sides, but the lack of violence also is something I remember.

What occurred in Charlottesville this weekend was much more than a demonstration or a protest. It was more of a call to action from a group that has spent decades attempting to obtain a legitimate seat at the political table.

No one denied their right to express their opinion, as vile and putrid as it appeared to most Americans, but both political parties resisted any attempts to legitimize those views.

Civil society realized the need to shun views that were so extreme they represented a threat to the very fiber of our nation.

While I understand the sentiments of those who sought a venue to legitimately protest decisions to remove Condederate statues from public parks in Charlottesville, but, somehow, I don’t think the scores of individuals who descended on the city were really concerned about a statue of Robert E. Lee, and they certainly didn’t display any of the values for which the General was known.

Years after I left Montgomery, I have a much better appreciation for those marches and what they meant to equality in our country. I understood the importance of non-violent protest and the power possessed in mass spoken with one unified voice.

Nothing that occurred on Saturday was even similar in dedication or purpose to those memories of Montgomery. Whatever message organizers hoped to convey was lost

in a tangled web of violence, hate, bigotry and murder.

But, it was the level of hate on display, the chants, the signs that offered the most contrast to my memories of Montgomery. While I’m sure many in my hometown were not treated with the dignity they deserved during that turbulent era, my recollections do not include the violence I saw Saturday in Charlottesville.

Maybe it’s the past years are forcing me to revise history and remember things much better than they actually were … but I don’t think so.

Some messages must be repeated, and often, to ensure their intent is never assumed, or even worse, forgotten.

As a nation, we must continue to stand united against racial hatred and maintain avenues for civil discourse that allow all voices to be heard.

But, some things should never be tolerated, or considered part of legitimate partisan politics. And those who use those positions to validate a hatred that comes from deep within are just the type of individuals we don’t want marching in our streets … in Charlottesville or Montgomery.

City should embrace history for tourism I wish to bring to your attention a matter, which concerns most of the citizens of Virginia, the rewriting of history proposed by Levar Stoney, the current mayor of Richmond.

The City of Richmond, its historic venues, and our battlefield sites have long been a magnet for history buffs from around the world.

Why does not Virginia — and especially Richmond — embrace the opportunity to increase its revenues by attracting more visitors rather than pushing them away by installing revisionist signage, which would distract from the avenue’s ambiance?

The Confederate monuments along Monument Avenue were gifts to the city, the cost of construction and the maintenance being borne by individual citizens across the state and nation.

The only maintenance the city provides for these statues is to clean off the graffiti after they have been vandalized.

Other than the Arthur Ashe Monument, the City of Richmond has no vested interest in any statue along the avenue.

The third point I wish to make is that, as a result of the last annexation of portions of Chesterfield County (1970s) by the City of Richmond in order to gain a sustainable tax base, the Commonwealth of Virginia agreed to subsidize the city if Chesterfield County would cease resisting the annexation.

Pursuant to this agreement, the City of Richmond would forfeit any future attempts to annex land from either Henrico or Chesterfield County.

about was drinking and driving and driving fast, and that’s what he did,” Royalty said.

Prosecutors said that Fleming and his friends were tailgating and drinking at Richmond Raceway, and that after that day’s NASCAR race, the group dropped by a friend’s house to go swimming.

One of the passengers in Fleming’s vehicle told investigators that all five passengers had been drinking and smoking marijuana at a pond after the race, according to court documents. The friends then drove to a “garage party” in Mechanicsville, where they drank more.

The friends decided they needed to make a beer run at one point, and they piled into Fleming’s truck and drove to the Fas Mart at Creighton and Cold Harbor roads, according to the prosecution. At 10:26 p.m. — minutes before the crash — a surveillance camera captured Fleming’s truck parked outside the store, where his friends purchased beer and loaded it into the vehicle.

The force of the crash “nearly split his truck in half,” Royalty said.

Good Samaritans who rushed to the crash scene

heard Fleming say, “I can’t go to jail” or “I won’t go to jail.” He also said, “Yeah I’m wasted,” Royalty said. The prosecutor also said that when Fleming was asked how much he had been drinking, he answered, “A lot.”

The prosecutor said various analyses found Fleming’s blood-alcohol level was between 0.067 and 0.078 percent. For adults, the legal limit for driving in Virginia is 0.08 percent, but Fleming is underage.

Donna Ballard, Dylan’s mother, took the stand to say that it has been 587 days since she last saw her son alive.

She described the time since Dylan’s death as “587 days that I have cried, 587 days of living with a broken, shattered heart.”

“Dylan was a perfect example of life,” Ballard said.

Danny Hinton, Elliot’s father, told the packed courtroom about the things he would never see as a result of the crash that took his son’s life.

He said he would never see a grandchild from his son, and would never be able to have a complete family portrait done again.

“I’m never going to see Elliot grow up and become a man,” Hinton said.

Pat Hinton, Elliot’s grand-

mother, said he was like a son to her.

“I still cry when I cook the food that was his favorite,” she said.

Jenifer Hinton, Elliot’s mother, said her son is the first thing she thinks of when she wakes up in the morning and the last thing she thinks about before she goes to sleep.

“He was my whole heart, and my heart has not been whole,” Jenifer Hinton said.

She said Elliot was her firstborn — the first to take a bath in the kitchen sink and her first child to graduate from high school.

Brenda Harding, Fleming’s mother, offered her own emotional testimony about the crash’s impact on her son, who she said suffered two broken legs and a broken jaw, among other injuries.

“He constantly worries about me, his dad, how this has affected us,” Harding said.

She said her son is “tenderhearted” person who cares about his friends.

“He takes full ownership of his choices that night, but he’s also a kid, a kid that made a terrible choice and wants to do better,” Harding said.

In addition to Fleming, the other people who were injured in the crash were Becca Clements; Patrick Hinton,

brother of Elliot; and Thomas Lumpkin, of Aylett. All but Lumpkin were students at Lee-Davis or had graduated in recent years.

Fleming apologized during his own statement to the court.

“I never meant to hurt my friends,” Fleming said, adding, “I’m deeply sorry for my actions.”

Fleming’s defense attorney, Carl Witmeyer, said his client was close friends with the Dylan Ballard and Elliot Hinton.

Witmeyer said Fleming has to live with the knowledge that he

is responsible for their deaths.

The attorney asked the court for forgiveness after his client made a “terrible mistake.� “His main hope is he can get out of jail and make a difference in this community,�

Witmeyer said.

Witmeyer disputed some points raised by the prosecution, including Royalty’s contention that

the truck was going 70 mph. The defense attorney said a passenger in the truck said they looked at the speedometer at the time of the crash and said the vehicle was going 50 or 55 mph. Royalty said two other witnesses — a motorist and a resident who lives near the crash site — estimated it was going about 70 mph.

One of the factors that

Hanover Circuit Judge Patricia Kelly weighed as she determined sentencing was that the defendant had used cocaine while out on bond. Kelly also said that given his age, he shouldn’t have been drinking in the first place. “You’re not supposed to be drinking at all let alone drinking and driving,� Kelly said.

LETTERS

Agreeing with electing county School board

We surely understand why the Hanover County Board of Supervisors does not like the elected school board idea. It will take away some of their power.

The statement being tossed around, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,� doesn’t account for the fact that it may be broken. I thank all of the ladies gathering signatures to put the “elected school board� issue on this year’s ballot.

If you don’t get enough signatures for this year, start over next year and get enough signatures for next year’s ballot.

Don’t get discouraged; you are doing a wonderful job for a noble cause.

ings, roads and cuts to essential personnel like fire and police all indicate that Richmond cannot address the basic needs of government.

The most recent news from non-working fire hydrants in the city is very alarming.

Is Mayor Stoney planning to extract the cost of his revisionist plans from an already over-taxed and under-served population, or is he fantasizing that the donors maintaining the Confederate statues will pony up for his bizarre notions?

I agree completely with Randall White Sr.’s letter that we should have an elected school board.

The Hanover County School Board should answer to the citizens of Hanover County and not just to seven politicians.

A few years ago, there was allegedly a mini scandal when a school board member was not reappointed by his supervisor in order that he could appoint one of his buddies who he promised the job to if he helped in his campaign.

“There’s certain things they’re trying to get approved for their subdivision, and, yet, we’re looking at our road – that goes outside of the subdivision – and I know that it cuts through, but I’m a little [confused]; I keep bouncing that back-and-forth,” Jewell said.

“We aren’t asking for this road necessarily as part of the rezoning, we’re asking for it as part of the subdivision; in some of the cases that were presented, they were asking for roads outside of the subdivision, this one is internal. We haven’t asked for improvements to Chapman [Street], we’ve been very clear we wouldn’t ask for those,” added Nora Amos, director of planning and community development.

Amos included that they

ally uses the funds from the annual picnic to provide maintenance for the historical landmark.

The congregation learned about the situation with Amanda Walsh Overstreet and agreed she is in a greater need of any financial help possible.

Amanda had a brain tumor removed on March 31.

She was supposed to be in and out of the hospital within a week, but, unfortunately,

suffered major complications from the surgery.

She suffered a serious stroke and required more surgeries to keep her alive. She was in ICU for four weeks and has been in rehabilitation for the past 2 1/2 months.

Amanda’s daughter was 9 months when the surgery took place, and, due her brain injury, she missed her first birthday.

Amanda is unable to walk on her own and requires assis-

tance with most daily living activities. She is confused and needs to be redirected and reoriented frequently.

The family’s medical bills are growing and home caregivers is not covered by the insurance company. If anyone knows a CNA or can help with any medical cost, the church memership said it would be greatly appreciated.

The cost of the picnic is $12 for adults and $5 for children.

also haven’t asked for improvements to State Route 54 (Thompson Street) either, and noted their subdivision code that she “thinks is allowable through the state code,” says “‘roads are required to be built to our standards,’ and I think that’s what we’re asking for – nothing arbitrary,” she told Jewell.

The chair pointed out that the town would be getting a traffic light on Route 54, and Amos explained that it was found to be needed after reviewing the results of the traffic analysis, if such a development takes place.

Jewell made the motion for recommending approval, and held the stand-alone voice in both votes.

Selden motioned to recommend for denial, “with the reasons for”: the roadway width (which is to be negotiated), the recommendation of a 30

mile-per-hour road design, and confirmation of approval for the septic-pumping system (per Hanover County and department of public works standards).

CP Implementations “Our comprehensive plan, it’s a 300-page document, we’ve got a lot of goals in there,” explained senior planner Garret Prior, as he presented to Planning Commissioners an overview of the CP’s implications, and how they will be put into action going forward.

“Lots of great ideas about what makes Ashland, Ashland,” Prior said.

Ashland’s CP is periodically checked up on and updated on

a consistent basis, and contains any policy or goals that are recommended. Prior explained how it runs on 10-year stints, with a check-in occurring every 5 years. “[This document] basically shows you how each one of the things that is mentioned in the CP – we are working on accomplishing,” he said.

Prior also said that they were working to create an easily accessible document for citizens to view on the town’s website.

Offering some examples of what makes up this massive list of to-do items, Prior told the commission that, after looksee PLANNERS, pg. 16

One hundred percent of all donations received are given to the club’s causes with all costs being covered by dues, with over $l billion having been given from Lions Club International Foundation. Locally, the Mechanicsville Lions Club meets at 6 p.m. the third Tuesday of every month at Calabash Restaurant across from Lee Davis High School.

Church of Creator Youth Group helps Buchanan town

By Jennifer Mullen Special to The Local

M

ost of us know that going on a mission trip means spending time helping others. It’s a time to share Christian faith with people through the demonstration of God’s love – in practical and tangible ways.

But what some youth from Episcopal Church of the Creator may not have known was that they would leave behind, and take away for themselves, so much more than they might have anticipated.

In June, the Church of Creator Youth Group (CYG) put their skills, and faith, to the test when they traveled to Hurley.

Nestled in Buchanan County, a short distance from the Kentucky and West Virginia borders, Hurley’s livelihood is dependent mostly upon the coal industry.

Unfortunately, the steady decline in that industry has contributed to a steady decline overall in the Hurley community: unemployment is high and economic prospects few and far between.

Add to that a worsening

economy and Hurley residents have found it difficult to make ends meet, resulting in even more difficulty in keeping up with home repairs and renovations.

What more deserving place, right here in Virginia, than this tiny Appalachian town for CYG to help make a difference.

“We had 17 youth and nine adults ready to do everything from home repairs to possible even environmental cleanup,” said 16-year-old Emily Earls, who led the year-long mission trip efforts, and whose mom and brother also went along to help. “The group was more than double what we had last year, so I was really excited to see what we could accomplish. Our goal was to help the community in every way we could with the skills God has given us to use in his name, to allow our relationship with God to grow stronger through our work, and to grow closer as a group.”

And, work they did.

Through rain and shine, CYG did a little bit of everything, from demolishing and rebuilding porches and reconstructing a roof, to installing drywall, replacing moldy floor

Earls echoes Burk’s sentiments about the trip: “I think the mission trip was very successful not just because of the work, but also because of

to see how much the people appreciated our help,” said Ellie Burk. “I enjoyed working so hard to help other people.

I liked the thought that everything I did was in God’s

how the lives of the families we helped changed throughout the week. Not only were we repairing their homes, but we were also repairing their spirits and reinstalling inspira-

tion in their daily lives. By the end of the week, I think all the participants had acquired skills involving their tools and work, and learned that real problems exist in our own backyard and not just foreign countries. I watched everyone grow as they learned how they can all help in their own ways and, even if they couldn’t do the job the best, just seeing a positive attitude and the Holy Spirit in a person is enough to inspire the same in everyone around them.”

Interested in helping others and having a great time with lots of other fun activities throughout the year? Creator Youth Group is always happy to welcome new members, in middle school or high school.

ASHLAND/WESTERN HANOVER | Also serving the communities of Montpelier, Beaverdam, Rockville and Doswell

Daryl Davis, Josh Christina Band to perform Sunday at Bluemont Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND – The Bluemont Concert Series will present Daryl Davis & The Josh Christina Band at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 20, on the steps of Randolph-Macon’s Mary Branch Residence Hall at 204 Henry St. for the third of

five concerts in Ashland.

The Daryl Davis & Josh Christina Band is a five-piece rhythm and blues rock band of the highest order.

Davis is described as an extraordinary man, a great singer, pianist, guitarist, composer and fantastic boogiewoogie player.

The band’s instrumentals feature keyboards, rhythm and bass guitars, saxophone and drums and truly classic rock vocals.

Davis has worked with the Muddy Waters Legendary Blues Band, Elvis Presley’s Jordanaires, Chuck Berry, and other rock and blues greats.

The legendary Berry praised Davis as a “Very, very fine musician. You really ought to hear him!”

Keeping the music of the 1950s alive, Josh Christina, a young piano player from Baltimore County, has perfected the art of Rock ’n’ Roll.

Influenced by Elvis Presley,

Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino and Ray Charles, Josh mixes it up with a blend of rock ’n’ roll, country and blues.

Josh has been working with veteran musicians since he was 8 years old when he had his Junior Blues Brothers act.

Josh caught the attention of Nashville-based producer Kent

Wells (Dolly Parton’ producer), who immediately got to work with Christina on his sophomore effort, “Good Old Love”.

His single “Kayla Ann” charted on the Nashville Music Row chart and went to number 1 on some independent charts.

Planners discuss comp plan and name Flanagan vice chair

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — The Ashland Planning Commission recently listened to a request (SUB17-0802) for a preliminary plat on the “Lauradell” development, as well as a presentation about implementing the town’s comprehensive plan (CP), coming after a work session in which commissioners convened in discussion focused on a residential zoning update before the regular meeting began.

Planning Commissioner Bob Flanagan became the new vice chair of the Ashland Planning Commission during an official election at the beginning of the Wednesday, Aug. 9, public meeting.

“I would like to nominate Bob Flanagan. I think he has some seniority here and would be very good at it,” said Lou Ann Jewel, chair.

In Ashland, the individuals who cast their votes to elect a vice chair in the planning commission, are the members that compose the current commission.

All commissioners voted “aye,” giving their approval to elect Flanagan as vice chair, except for Flanagan, who abstained.

“We welcome our new vice chair, so you’ll have to sit next to me next time,” Jewel joked to Flanagan.

SUB17-0802 A request seeking a preliminary plat for the new development, dubbed “Lauradell,” was denied by the Planning Commission.

Ashland Town Council recently voted to defer action on a rezoning proposal submitted

by Yancey Jones, the applicant, who has plans to construct a 148-house residential development; in order to allow for more time to plan a road

Commissioner Charles Selden said.

Selden was referring to what Flanagan explained earlier in the discussion, in which he said, “If we defer, it comes back to us in a month – if we vote to approve or deny, town council takes our [thoughts] under advisement; but they make their own decisions from there.”

Flanagan said that recommending approval or denial would send it to the Ashland Town Council for discussion, but that voting to defer the request “brings everybody back here in a month,” he said.

There was some disagreement among members.

Jewell had concerns with the potential blending of the town’s focus on Ashland-owned land with requirements that the applicant needs for approval – in order to proceed with the develsee PLANNERS, pg. 15

design and to examine further details that could help improve the development.

A preliminary plat does that. Its purpose serves as an approval process formed to establish: lot designs for a new subdivision, street and intersection designs, and utility layout, as well as to approve subdivision regulations waivers.

Due to legalities, it is required that a preliminary plat be submitted along with an application for planned district rezoning.

By avoiding deferment and recommending denial for the preliminary plat request, the case won’t come back through the Planning Commission again.

However, the decision essentially suggested deferral implications – after first failing a motion for recommended approval, then passing a motion recommending denial – “with the caveats or the ‘reasons for’ [attached],”

GLEN ALLEN — A Louisa County man was killed Monday, Aug. 7, in a singlevehicle crash on Mountain Road.

Sgt. James R. Cooper of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office said 54-year-old Joseph W. Butler of Bumpass was driv-

ing a 2015 Chevy van that was traveling west on Mountain Road when it veered off the highway and collided with a house. The occupants of the house were not injured.

Butler was the only person in the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The fatality occurred around 5:55 p.m. in the 13000 block of Mountain Road.

“Investigators are still collecting information and consulting with the Medical Examiner to determine the circumstances that led to this tragic incident,” Cooper said.

The sergeant, speaking on behalf of Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, said, “We extend our sincerest condolences to the family of Joseph W. Butler during this difficult time.”

Building for America’s Bravest presents smart home to veteran Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — Building for America’s Bravest, a Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation program that builds smart homes for catastrophically injured service members, presented local veteran Larry Bailey II his specially adapted smart home on Tuesday, Aug. 1.

L&M Carpet One Floor & Home of Mechanicsville provided all the flooring installation featured in the home.

Larry, his wife Desiree and their baby daughter are looking forward to moving into their new home in Sumerduck. The smart home, with customized features like the ability to turn lights on and off with the swipe of an iPad, is nearly complete with the dedication ceremony less than a month away. This

ing at the updated chart, “it shows you that each one of those things that we talk about – ‘we want a new hotel and conference center in Ashland,’ or ‘we need to update the zoning ordinance to improve our lighting requirements …’”

“Each one of those is something we’re working towards,” he said, adding that the zoning and lighting ordinance could be “checked off ” the list because they were completed in 2011-2012.

will mark an exciting new journey resulting in a better quality of life for the Bailey family.

Larry Bailey II followed in the footsteps of his father, a 30year U.S. Navy veteran, when he enlisted in the U.S. Marines.

While in Afghanistan in 2011, Bailey lost both legs and his left hand to an IED explosion that detonated while he was trying to resist an attack on his unit. Bailey was awarded the Purple Heart for his bravery, dedication and service.

Building for America’s Bravest was developed with the goal of offering America’s returning heroes the opportunity to live better, more independent lifestyles. All smart homes are custom-built to fit the unique needs of each individual and their family.

The homes are designed to be energy efficient, automated

and easily accessible.

Started in 1969, L&M Carpet One Floor & Home is a family-owned and operated business run by the Shelton and Arkesteyn families.

All the flooring in the new smart home was donated and installed by L&M Carpet One Floor & Home in partnership with Mohawk Industries.

Carpet One Floor & Home stores across the nation have come together with other local businesses to help build smart homes for catastrophically injured heroes returning home to their communities.

In addition to hands-on support, the flooring retailer continues to raise funds and awareness at the local level through in-store initiatives, and at the national level through public relations and marketing efforts.

The work session also focused on a “traditional neighborhood design,” according to the agenda, and looked at future land-use classifications for areas like the town-edge, traditional neighborhoods and mixed neighborhoods.

It also asked, “What’s next for Ashland neighborhoods?” and focused on: “Green Acres” (Lauradell), Woodside Lane, Maple Street, James Infill, Wesley Infill and “East Ashland.”

Commissioners also examined uses and definitions pertaining to zoning districts, the matrix, and the town’s housing checklist.

Wrapping up the work session, they held a discussion in which they spoke about shortterm rentals, occupation of homes, auxiliary or accessory dwelling units such as “medical in-law suites,” as well as the difference between the districts.

“This will give Sgt. McGuire back his freedom,” Cody said.

“This whole thing is about giving him his independence, the same independence he fought to give to us.”

For J.P. and Brittany, the new home represents a new chapter in the life of their young family, and both were feeling especially appreciative as they welcomed guests into their new residence for the first time.

“We are beyond blessed,” Brittany said. “It’s such a relief to be in a home where he can do everything he needs to do to be a husband and a father. He finally has room to relax.”

Cold Harbor Ruritans donate to Hanover Adult Center Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — The Cold Harbor Ruritan Club has been a faithful partner of the Hanover Adult Center, supporting the agency’s mission for over 20 years.

In 1977, Hanover Friends Church identified an unmet need in the Mechanicsville community and initiated the formation of the Hanover Adult Center.

Hanover Adult Center is now a small, 501(c)(3) not-forprofit agency, providing care during the daytime only, for adults who need support to remain in their own homes and communities.

Two distinct programs are provided by the Hanover Adult Center.

The day support program, which is licensed by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services and certified by Medicaid, provides options for center-based group day support and/or community engagement day support, for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

The adult day health services program, which is licensed by the Department of Social Services and certified by Medicaid, provides a safe, loving, interactive environment; it is a place for adults to gather for activities in order to avoid social isolation and institutionalization.

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Hodnett

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Kourtney, 488553, is a 2-year-old (estimated) female Labrador Retriever mix. She is spayed and has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Kourtney is a sweet dog. She came to the shelter at the end of July as a stray.

She started off shy, but Kourtney has really come around with the staff. She seems to be sweet and loving.

Kourtney will do best as the only dog in the household. She will make a very good pet. Misty, 488498, is a 1½-year-old (estimated) female feline. She has had her first set of vaccines is a FELV/FIV test negative. Misty is a good-natured cat who came to the shelter last month as a stray. Her beautiful color patterns also match her personality. Misty loves to snuggle with everyone. She is super sweet and playful. Misty will make a great indoor/outdoor pet. For more information on this great pet, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays.

Partnerships from generous community groups such as the Cold Harbor Ruritan Club, make it possible to continue to improve the quality of the services provided at the Hanover Adult Center and, in turn, improve quality of life for participants and their care partners.

Following the Cold Harbor Ruritans Club’s successful 2017 Shrimp Fest, the club donated $2,500 to the Hanover Adult Center. Donations from the community help to keep ser-

Golf season begins with new faces at helm LaCroix led the Raiders to a 162-176 victory over Stafford at Gauntlet Golf Club in Fredericksburg Thursday.

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The Fall 2017 athletic year has begun, with most of the area’s golf teams already with one or more matches under their belt and with the usual infusion of new faces.

This year, however, many of the new faces are at the top of local teams’ organizational charts as three of Hanover’s four high school teams have new head coaches.

Patrick Henry head coach Dave Hudak, who was the newcomer to the county five years ago, now finds himself the dean of county golf coaches.

“I think I’m the only one back, so that makes me the granddaddy of golf coaches in Hanover,” joked Hudak, a former head football coach at Granby High School in Norfolk. “It took me 20 years in Tidewater to do that.”

Two of the county’s new head golf coaches are familiar faces at their schools, however.

Hanover’s new head coach is assistant baseball coach Hunter Hoy. Lee-Davis’ new head coach is head baseball coach Tyler Johnson.

The only true “newcomer” is Atlee head coach Stan Thorne, a former PGA golf professional who has been active in the area as a youth coach for Atlee Little League.

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Hanover’s Jimmy Hill tied with Monacan’s Zach Long for medalist honors in the Hawks’ two-stroke win over the Chiefs, Matoaca and Powhatan in a quad match at Stonehenge Golf & Country Club Thursday. Hill and Long shot a 7-over 78 in an 18-hole effort.

Atlee Thorne steps in for Steve Thompson, who yielded the reins earlier this year. Thorne inherits a squad that graduated four seniors last year, including Erica Whitehouse – who finished an all-state career with a second-place finish in the Virginia High School League Girls Open in November – and

The Mechanicsville Local

Timmy Shields, who reached the VHSL Group 5A state championship tournament last year.

While Thorne is new to Atlee High School, he’s not new to golf.

“I’m very familiar with the game,” Thorne said. “I was a golf professional for over 12 years here in the Richmond

area before I went on to work 20 years with the county, so I’m not new to the game or to teaching it – I taught the game for over 30 years.

“That’s one thing I love about this opportunity. I’ve got a good group of young people and I can help them, not just with managing their self around the golf course, but with their

golf swings.”

The Raiders will be led by a trio of seniors – Spencer Talley, Nick Carlo and Colin LaCroix – but have a number of promising underclassmen who should be seeing plenty of time among the top six: junior Jack Emerson, sophomore Collin Freeman and freshman Jack Miller.

Talley, Carlo, Emerson and

Hanover Hunter Hoy took the helm of the Hawks’ golf team less than a month ago, after former head coach Chris Pace left for a teaching position with Massaponax High School in Spotsylvania County.

Hoy inherits a team that advanced to a state tournament – the VHSL Group 4A state championship – for the first time last year. While the team is missing Ward Wilkinson, a senior last year who finished as state individual runner up after a sudden-death playoff and who is now enrolled in the U.S. Naval Academy – the Hawks have plenty of talent returning: seniors Jimmy Hill and Jack Proctor and junior Christian Dyer.

In addition, Wilkinson’s brother, Andrew, should have an impact as a freshman. Other returning Hawks include junior Robert Patina and senior Bella Seip.

“A few of the kids are kind of hit or miss, but now they’re practicing every day and from the first day of practice to now they’re already getting more consistent,” Hoy said.

son with a two-stroke win over Monacan, Matoaca and Powhatan Thursday at Stonehenge Golf and Country Club. Hill tied for medalist honors with Monacan’s Zach Long. He said it’s taking a bit of time getting used to being the Hawks’ No. 1 “Filling the big footsteps after Ward is a big deal,” Hill said. “I’ve been practicing a lot and trying to get better, so hopefully I’ll get up to par to where he is.”

Lee-Davis Tyler Johnson said he found out he was volunteering to take over from former Lee-Davis head golf coach Kenny Lewis in April.

“He came to me … maybe April, the end of April and he said, ‘Tyler, I’ve got a job for you.’ I said, ‘Oh boy, what is it?’ ” Johnson said. “He said, ‘I’m resigning as the golf coach, and I’ve already told [Lee-Davis athletic director Tripp Metzger] you’re taking my spot.’ … I said, ‘OK. Thanks, coach.’ ” The Confederates will be led by returning seniors Parker Spear, Erik Hoare, Austin

more, Taylor Hubbard, last year’s Conference 33 medalist and a top-five finisher in the VHSL Group 2A golf championships last year.

In fact, he has no seniors on the team.

“I have some good younger kids that are coming along,” he said. “I think we are a year or two away from being really good, but I think we’ll be competitive.”

While Hubbard will be the linchpin of the Cavaliers’ squad, their overall success will depend on how much the other players on the team – especially juniors Tyler Jennings, Brandon Silva and Caige Spicer – improve over the course of the season.

“We have Taylor at the top, which is a pretty solid force up there,” Blanton said. “And then Dave Lawrence/The Local Patrick Henry’s Jessica Rathbone, shown here in a match at Queenfield Golf Club last year, we’re relying on these juniors. proved one of the Patriots’ leading golfers in her freshman season.

Both lead a team that has improved over the past year and both have worked hard since the end of the 2016 season.

“Jessica Rathbone has had a really good off-season,” Hudak said. “She plays in the Patty Kirk Bell league, and she’s been playing some [American Junior Golf Association] tournaments. She won the [Richmond Golf Association] Junior Championship a couple of weeks ago. … She’s won a couple of tournaments. She’s playing well.

“Rory Ailor, he’s been playing in some tournaments.

They’re both doing really well.”

Hudak said if a couple of others – especially among his other three returning golfers from last year’s top six – can step up with solid scores, the Patriots will be competitive.
