ed a diverse cross-section of Central Virginia students and both rural and urban students attended the three-week session.

Several of those students relayed their experiences at the Aug. 9 school board meeting and each told of rewarding, enriching and educational opportunities the program provided.

Madison Tunstall is a nursing student at Lee-Davis High School and said the program enhanced her workplace skills but also provided additional benefits.

“I also applied for this pro-

gram to step out of my comfort zone as I tend to be a bit shy.

This program really helped me in that department with our discussions on networking,” Tunstall said.

“Personally, I found that by interacting with others in different CTE areas, I gained a new perspective and new respect for my team members and their fields,” said Maya Baker.

The program relied on expert instructors for classroom instruction, but also benefited from a cooperative business community that supplied guest speakers for special programs.

Groups engaged in real world exercises like planning

and starting a business, effective resume building or how to make that positive first impression.

Project coordinator Justin Roerink said students were assembled in groups of four and challenged with real world business problems.

“We knew we wanted students to be involved in a program that incorporated work place ready skills and entrepreneurial skills, Roerink said.

“We split the groups into fours and had them create a business from scratch as well as take part in two different presentations to business leaders in a ‘Shark Tank’ like format,” he added.

Roerink said business leaders who reviewed the presentations were “blown away” by the proficiency and creativity of the students.

“During the three weeks we were at the University of Richmond, we were assigned the task of creating a business plans,” said Taylor Keeler, one of the Hanover attendees. “The business plans were thorough and included everything from the mission statement down to the financial prospects of our future business,” she added.

The reality of Trump: He is simply clueless

By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News Someone asked me the other day if I had any plans to stop writing about Donald Trump, seeing as how I have already put forth a good number of columns detailing the Republican nominee’s tone-deaf statements, syntactical stumbling and tendency to place his rather large — presumably — foot in his even larger mouth.

Yes, I said, I consider it quite often. In fact, I, like millions of others, would prefer to never have to think or speak or write about Mr. Trump ever again.

But no sooner do I turn my attention to some other— almost always more uplifting — aspect of American life, than The Donald offers up yet another nugget so repugnant that to ignore it would be akin to dereliction of duty.

Contrary to many who have made their aversion to Mr. Trump crystal clear, I am not convinced that he is a racist, or a bigot, or a xenophobe.

In fact, I simply believe he is clueless.

How else to explain the state-

ment he made last week, when he was asked how he would feel if his own daughter was sexually harassed in the workplace.

“I would like to think,” he said, “she would find another career or find another company if that was the case.”

Allow me, please, to translate this into what I believe I heard the GOP standard-bearer actually say: “Ladies, the best way to deal with inappropriate sexual advances or harassment in the workplace is to go out and find another job.”

Oh, dear.

Really? Is that what we’re going with? Decades upon decades of advancement on the part of women in so many fields, from academia to business to politics, and this is where we find ourselves?

On behalf of Mr. Trump, I would like to issue an apology to all of the women of previous generations— and I think we can go back pretty far here — who fought so hard to create a United States in which the women of my generation don’t have to find a new job when we tire of being harassed. see TRUMP, pg. 8

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Like many busy Americans, I rarely venture inside pharmacies to pick up prescriptions. A creature of habit and convenience, I join the long line of customers in the drive-thru line, opting for laziness over efficiency.

My last visit didn’t go as planned, and I had to go inside the drug store (do they still call them that?), and wait for my prescription.

As I sat in a barren waiting area surrounded by aisles of medications and health care products, I couldn’t help but think about how much the experience has changed over the decades, and how folks today could care less about where they get their prescriptions or who fills them.

For three decades of my life, my

family used only one pharmacy.

Although Peoples Drug Store opened shortly after we moved to Richmond and was only steps from our house, our loyalty to a small pharmacy on Patterson Avenue and the determined pharmacist remained.

I’m not sure when Joe Slipow began filling prescriptions at Lafayette Pharmacy in the small shopping center at Libbie and Patterson Avenues, but he’s the first person I encountered at a drug store.

My father told me Joe Slipow’s amazing story — how he was orphaned in the Ural Mountains as a child and came to America to live with his grandparents in Richmond.

I’m also not sure when he started the small pharmacy that attracted kids from Westhampton School to

Willow Lawn to enjoy treats from an old-fashioned soda fountain with limited seats.

On summer evenings, we would play on the fields of the old school until we were soaked with sweat and then head across the street to Lafayette for the best snow cone in the city, packed to the rim with the best cherry syrup imaginable.

Over the years, our family depended on Slipow and his dedicated staff for all of our medical needs, and my mother often called on the pharmacist for advice on everyday bumps and bruises we encountered on a regular basis.

In a world where technology centered largely on a black rotary phone, a call to our doctor and a promise see DRUG, pg. 8

Rail issue important to Ashland residents This is in response to Jim Eppes’ letter to the editor in the July 20, 2016, edition of The Hanover Local.

I can hardly believe what I read regarding the highspeed rail issue. Surely having to wait two to three minutes longer to cross the railroad tracks in Ashland is not more of a concern than someone losing their home, their land and their livelihood.

The route of the proposed high-speed rail may not be important to you in Mechanicsville, who won be affected at all, but it’s very important to me and my family who have a three-generation dairy farm west of Ashland.

The proposed western route would split our farm in half and destroy the homes of those who work on the farm.

I assume you get your milk, butter, cheese, yogurt, etc., from one of the local supermarkets but they get it from dairy farms just like mine.

Are you really willing to put ours and other farms out of business and take away the only income some have just to keep from having to wait two or three minutes longer to cross the tracks – absurd!

I’m not in favor of the high-speed rail going through the Town of Ashland either, but it seems to me there are

other options without so much disruption of homes, farms, churches and more.

I thank God every day that I was raised by a strong woman, one who blazed her own path and taught her daughters that they deserved to be treated with respect.

She would likely just laugh

at the suggestion put forth by Trump last week and shake her head.

I wish I could.

But I sincerely don’t know what scares me more: that a serious contender for the

presidency of the United States in 2016 believes this kind of hooey, or that he lacked the basic intelligence to stop himself from saying it aloud.

The former is terrifying.

The latter, however --consider-

magic, hours after calling the doctor, you were opening a package and beginning a dose of medicine.

When fall arrived, we purchased all of our school supplies at Lafayette, and Joe Slipow watched all of us grow up. Sometimes, that lifelong connection didn’t have the

desired results when he would tell you needed a haircut, or ask you about your grades in school.

At Christmas, we purchased gifts for our parents at Joe Slipow’s pharmacy and even picked up last-minute hooks for ornaments at the small store

Years later, Joe retired and others took his place behind the small counter at the back of the store.

When I became a father, I made sure the little pharmacy was a part of my daughter’s life. We visited often and she established her link with the soda fountain and its thick milk shakes where there was always enough left in the metal container for a small refill.

A man known only as “Bear” became a friend and

confidante to my child and many others in the neighborhood, and a generational link was established between those who ran and played at Westhampton in my generation and a new group of area kids.

Bear, William Jones, was never too busy to assist a child, or hand out a piece of candy, and he made sure that Lafayette remained a place where everybody knew your name.

Somewhere along the line, the pharmacy moved to

a larger location, and under new ownership, expanded the counter service. The eatery still enjoys a large group of loyal customers who enjoy the neighborhood feel of a local pharmacy.

Lafayette wasn’t the only pharmacy that offered that personalized down-home service back in those days, but it’s the one that provided me with those special memories. Only blocks away, Doc White’s on Grove Avenue had the same kind of dedicated following.

wind up in mental hospitals.”

I would like for him to provide the reference for that claim; I worked in the mental health field, including a hospital for 35 years and never saw that stat nor ever had a patient claim that he/she was in treatment because of Jesus, but I recall many claims that people left treatment because of Jesus, including one young man who has become a minister and just wrote a book I wrote the forward for about his time in mental and alcohol treatment.

As a PhD, Ryder surely has the references for that claim somewhere in his great repertoire of knowledge. And then he rambles about the wonders of liberals and non-facts, including liberals protect the Constitution – which, by the way, ask any liberal what the First or Second Amendment is and they can’t come up with anything — just saw that interview on TV, so must be true!

And then there is the 13th Amendment — wonder if you can talk about that. And I have to pop his knowledge base re:

slavery. Fact: The Republican Party was founded primarily to oppose slavery, and Republicans eventually abolished slavery. The Democratic Party fought them and tried to maintain and expand slavery.

The 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery, passed in 1865 with 100% Republican support but only 23% Democrat support in Congress. (Oh, and Ku Klux Klan, all Democrats, as is Black Lives Matter- mandated Law Enforcement Online killings).

Next, moving on to taking care of poverty — Jesus did indeed say to take care of those less fortunate and in need – to us — the Church (body of believers), each other and families — not the government.

Moving on — Jesus did not call the poor lazy but He only had a three-year ministry and did not address every issue but he left his disciples to do just that.

First, surely he is sarcastic when he stated that because he spent 24 years in uniform that gives him the right to call out hatred anytime (?). And he is going to call out hate whenever he sees it — really?

Then let’s hear it for hating people who kill others, chop off heads and defile children – oh, wait – can’t hate them because “God does not hate anymore” — Whaaat!

God, Jesus and all the Saints and most of us hate behaviors that are harmful to others – God — and most of us hate murder, theft, idolatry, harm to others and a host of other behaviors that affect us adversely.

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Q. Hodnett

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Scout, 449940, is a 2-year-old male hound. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Scout has been at the shelter for two weeks now. He was surrendered. Scout has a very friendly personality and gets along great with other dogs he comes in contact with. Scout has mostly lived outside but he should be able to make the transition to an indoor dog with ease. He seems to be somewhat housebroken. Sosa, 447118, is a 10-yearold female domestic long-haired feline.

She has had her first set of vaccines and

is FELV/FIV test negative. Sosa was surrendered to the shelter one month ago. She has been an indoor cat and is well adjusted to that lifestyle.

Sosa is litter trained and likes to lay and observe.

She also is very friendly and enjoys to be rubbed on her hear and chin. Sosa will make a great house cat. 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.

get bad, community college enrollments go up,” Rhodes said.

A recovering economy results in fewer applications. “Our enrollments have gone down in the last few years, about 18 percent since 2011.”

Since Reynolds does not limit the number of applicants it accepts and gauging an uncapped enrollment number is challenging.

With unemployment rates at historic lows, Reynolds is focused on student completion of programs, enhanced advising when students enter the college and promoting stackable credentials, allowing students to obtain certifiable skill sets on the way to a degree. “If you don’t complete the degree, you can still go to work with those credentials,” Rhodes said.

The college also is promoting “guided pathways” that narrow a student’s choices in class selection and its relevance to a future degree.

“Sometimes students take classes because they think it’s a really neat class to take,” Rhodes said.

“Frankly, it may not help them graduate. We’re being a little less flexible and a little more parental, so to speak.”

Rhodes described a new economy where about 25 percent of graduating seniors obtain

four-year degrees, and many of those graduates are experiencing difficulty in finding good jobs.

“Don’t let your child graduate in French Literature unless you understand there are not a lot of jobs out there in that field,” Rhodes said.

Skilled training jobs are on a decades-long rise, and there are opportunities for students with certificates or two-year degrees. Rhodes said Reynolds is focused on providing needed training programs to allow students to obtain certifiable technical skills.

“That’s the world of work that we live in today,” Rhodes said. “We prepare about 70 percent of tomorrow’s workforce nationally.”

About 2,200 Hanover students attended JSRCC last year, and almost 400 were recent graduates of county high schools.

In the past 10 years, more than 10,000 county students utilized JSRCC, resulting in 1,600 graduates and almost 2,000 certificates and degrees awarded.

The school also partners with Goochland and Hanover counties in an Advanced College Academy project that allows students to obtain college level courses and graduate from high school with an Associates Degree.

The program not only allows students to jumpstart their college careers, but offers significant savings for the parents who fund those endeavors.

can say whom or what is evil.”

Well, then, let’s get rid of laws, parents, everything and anything that keeps us from evil because, Dr. Ryder, there are two kinds of evil (per Biblical view): moral evil, which are social offenses such as murder, theft, corruption, and cultic evil, which is deity blasphemy and idolatry.

Evil means vice, bad, wrong, vile, reprobate, and a word used this week in a children’s play at the library — nefariousness (per Webster). So, yes, we can call an act evil and people who commit murder, vile acts on children and animals, steal and lie to us and other reprehensible behaviors such as killing our law enforcement officers, leaving our Marines to intentionally be slaughtered, giving $400,000,000 of our money to an evil enemy — are evil people.

I believe God wants us to remove evil behaviors and the people who commit them

from society so they can do no more harm.

Sadly, we live in a system that the rich and powerful continue to commit and get away with corrupted and vile behaviors which is why people will do anything to become rich and powerful so that they can continue to do so at our expense.

If we choose to ignore and not remove evil from our lives, then we must hunker down and tolerate it — but that is not what God did nor wants us to do — Jesus got so angry at the temple changers/sellers that he took a whip to them (Matt 21:12). Surely He would be even angrier at the horrid acts going on around us, and, yes, we are to call it what it is so we can tolerate it or remove it but ignore it we cannot. I’ll be looking for that reference, Dr. Ryder.

Peace.

Trump v. Clinton: Who is guilty?

imagine the look on their faces when at the ending of a perfectly good sermon they hear the names Trump and Clinton?

These guys are intelligent, and, as soon as they heard names they knew were not Biblical, they lost interest.

They were just about ready to make a decision for a better life until the endorsement for a presidential candidate popped up and ruined the moment.

My take is this: Looks like the substance of the letter was, “You can’t judge a book by its cover,” so I question the bashing of Trump before he has had a chance to run or ruin the country. Luke 6:37, Matthew 7:1 same message “Do Not Judge Lest Ye Be Judged.”

There is no proof or guarantee at all that Trump, or any candidate, will do or not do what they say when they get into office. Sure, Trump makes

comments and threats but at least they are up front where they can be questioned, reconsidered and negative effects avoided. The last four presidents were elected and then we found out how useless they were.

On the other hand I will say this (my opinion) about the endorsement for Clinton.

Most Americans are 100% sure of what the Clintons have done, are doing and probably will do.

Using the Clintons as doubtless confirmation to prove most politicians will lie, cheat, steal, commit adultery in the White House and go to any extreme (even abusing five through 10 of the Ten Commandants) just to get on the perpetual taxpayer payroll. Just saying, not trying to judge anyone, it’s just what I heard. Amen and amen.

— wrote that “if anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.” The idlers were siphoning off those who did work.

Jesus did say to pay taxes.

Remind the Rev. Al Sharpton of that.

Ryder goes on that Jesus did not ban abortion — Whaat?

Abortion is the killing of a child and surely you cannot believe Jesus endorsed such a heinous act, as He reprimanded the adulteress. There are so many Biblical passages that speak to the life in the womb — Old and New Testament, but one of the most precious is when Mary came to greet her pregnant cousin and the “baby lept in the womb” (speaking of her child John the Baptist) — Luke 1:41.

After the first few paragraphs I’m thinking, “Man, this is a good sermon,” and, as my manufacturing guys are not exactly perfect, I thought this may be a good chance to help get them on the right track, so I said, “Listen up, guys,” and I started reading the letter out loud.

Everything was going along great, and, after a few amens and hallelujahs from the guys, I’m thinking I may have just turned them around.

Sixty percent of my guys are black and they liked the part about a black guy in the White House but they think it’s been the wrong black guy. Can you

The next trip is scheduled for Oct. 15. This trip is designed to get as many veterans as possible to see the memorials that have been erected in their honor.

Honor Flight is a nonprofit organization that conducts bi-annual charter bus trips to our national memorials in Washington, D.C.

The memorial for World War II veterans was dedicated 60 years after WWII. Many of those veterans have not seen the memorial, and HFHTVA’s mission is to take as many WWII veterans as possible to see their memorial.

So far, the organization has taken over 1,000 veterans in Virginia on the trips. Korean War veterans also are welcome.

Veterans do not have to be a combat veteran or in the military during war time to participate.

A new change is any veteran that was in the service anywhere from Dec. 7, 1941, to Jan. 31, 1955, is invited.

Council defers CUP, rezoning proposal by Bulifant

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and rezoning proposed by Bulifant Homes has been deferred by the Ashland Planning Commission.

During the Wednesday, Aug. 10, meeting, the Planning Commission chose to defer action until its next meeting on Oct. 14 due to the determination that there needs to be further review of the applicant’s current planning.

“We are giving recommendation of deferral for the rezoning and conditional use permit to give some of that further consideration and really get into defining those proffers and what is being proposed here,” said Senior Planner Garret Prior.

Bulifant Homes is seeking to obtain a CUP and a rezoning of a vacant lot nestled in between Calley Street and Haley Court in west Ashland to build a small neighborhood of duplex houses.

Currently, the zoning for this property is R-2. It allows up to eight units, with a minimum of three units per acre. This type of zoning requires storm water drains, utilities, street lights, sidewalks, a curb and gutter, landscaping, and street trees.

property’s perimeters.

All commissioners welcomed the idea and proposal, but they realized more needs to be reviewed before a recommendation for approval can be made.

Anyone interested in receiving more information regarding the current and future status of this ongoing discussion is encouraged to attend next month’s Planning Commission meeting Oct. 14 at Ashland Town Hall.

Also during the August meeting, Penske Truck Leasing LLC received an approval for recommendation from the Planning Commission to obtain a CUP. Penske Truck Leasing wants to open a fueling station near the intersection of Junction Drive and Hill Carter Parkway. The proposed fueling station would only be permitted to provide service to Penske branded vehicles.

This application for a Conditional Use Permit was recommended for approval by the planning commission, and will now be sent to the Ashland Town Council for further review and ultimately a final vote.

Citizens are encouraged to attend Ashland Town Council’s next meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16, to learn more regarding the application’s status.

‘Steak Night for Charity’ to benefit Friends of Hanover Dog Parks

Mention this ad for

Requested of the applicant is for the Planning Commission to recommend approval for rezoning the property to R-3 to construct six single-family, attached homes (12 units per acre); creating the requirement that the applicant also be issued a CUP. Existing on the property currently lies nothing but an undeveloped plot of land filled with forest, which separates Calley Street and Haley Court from connecting to each other if both roads were not dead ends. North Macon Terrace is located adjacent to the property being targeted.

Bulifant Homes also is proposing a home owners association for the neighborhood, in addition to a shed for storage and the potential for a small office building.

“I guess my biggest concern here ight now is how that’s going to be a part of the community as opposed to an island within it,” said Commissioner Bob Flanagan.

Flanagan referred to a hypothetical comparison saying that the same could be said for U.S. 1; in that if someone wanted to take one of the businesses on that road and move it to College Avenue it wouldn’t fit in.

He also was concerned about the number of units with the addition of the storage shed and office, fitting inside of the

Youth movement sweeps area golf teams

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor

Sports camp calendar

MECHANICSVILLE – Last year, a youth movement took over the Atlee and Lee-Davis golf teams.

This year, that movement has spread to the area’s other teams.

Both of the teams in rebuilding mode last year have rosters leavened by seniors among their top six. But Hanover, Patrick Henry – and, across the Pamunkey River, King William – all lost key players to graduation, and young golfers are stepping up into leadership roles, some wasting no time moving to the top of their teams’ lineups.

Atlee The Raiders, led by then juniors Erica Whitehouse and Timmy Shields, won county bragging rights by winning last year’s Hanover County quad tournament. This year, Whitehouse and Shields return at the helm of a still-youthful Atlee squad. They will be joined by fellow seniors Alex Freeman and Jacob Harmon and junior Spencer Talley in the top five.

Atlee head coach Steve Thompson expects that experience to pay off by the time they show up for the Conference 16 tournament in September.

“I think it’s going to help out a lot, because, you know,

• MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee High School hitting coach Toney Butler is offering a weekly baseball camp for children ages 5 to 12 every week for the remainder of the summer.

The camps, which will be held at Cold Harbor Elementary School, will run every Monday through Thursday for $80 a week, with the final camp the week of August 22. To sign up or ask questions, please contact Butler at 804-300-6342 or via email at toneyshitting42@gmail. com.

Patrick Henry freshman Jessica Rathbone brings plenty of VSGA tournament experience to a youthful Patriots squad. Rathbone is part of a wave of underclassmen moving into leadership positions on Hanover County golf teams this season.

they played week in and week out, and realized that, when they got to conference … that’s when it all counts,” Thompson said. “Instead of being nervous like they were last year, I think they’ll go in with a little more

confidence.”

Last year was the Raiders’ first time in Conference 16, and the lack of familiarity was something of a handicap.

“We didn’t know who we were playing. We hadn’t seen

these teams before,” Thompson said. “[Last year’s experience] gives us a little bit of an idea what to expect when we get there now.”

Whitehouse and Talley advanced to the Region 5A

North tournament last year.

Whitehouse qualified for the Virginia High School League Group 5A individual championships, but opted to compete see YOUTH, pg. 35

• ASHLAND – Patrick Henry High School will hold an all-day youth basketball camp from Monday, Aug. 22 to Wednesday, Aug. 24, for youths aged 6 to 14. The camp, which will run from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day, will focus on improving basic basketball skills. Cost is $75. For more information or to register, contact Patrick Henry head boys basketball coach see CAMP, pg. 35

Atlee takes win at Queenfield; Domenech leads girls tourney

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MANQUIN – Queenfield Golf Club was buzzing with high school golf activity late last week with several tournaments featuring local high school teams.

Thursday, Atlee claimed victory over Patrick Henry and host Lee-Davis in a quad match.

Friday, Mills Godwin’s Diana Domenech took a twostroke lead over Atlee’s Erica

Whitehouse in the first day (nine holes) of girls miniregional tournament. The tournament will be completed this Friday with nine holes at Hanover Country Club.

The Raiders’ top four scores Thursday had a tight grouping: Timmy Shield (37), Alex Freeman (40), Spencer Talley (41) and Jacob Harmon (42) combined for a 160, while Patrick Henry and host LeeDavis tied at 188. Henrico had too few golfers participating to post a team score.

“If we can post two in the 30s, and then no higher than 41 on all our matches, we’ll be OK,” said Atlee head coach Steve Thompson. “We may not beat Deep Run where everyone is hitting in the 30s, but we’re at least going to be very close to that.”

Domenech and Whitehouse tied for second last season in the Virginia High School League girls open championship. They look poised to finish atop the standings when the girls miniregional finishes this Friday.

in the VHSL state girls open instead, where she tied for second with Mills Godwin’s Diana Domenech.

Hanover While Atlee won the county quad last year, the Hawks might have fielded the best county team overall, sending five golfers to the Region 4A South tournament last year and one, then-freshman Christian Dyer, on to the VHSL Group 4A individual championships.

This year, Dyer, will be among the team’s leaders along with senior Ward Wilkinson, last year’s No. 1 who has had a successful year in American Junior Golf Association and VSGA tournaments, and senior Robert Martin.

The Hawks are loaded with experienced juniors, too, among them Jimmy Hill, Jack Proctor and Bella Seip, all of whom spent time among Hanover’s top six last year.

In addition to being experienced, the Hawks are likewise driven. Last Monday, after a match against Patrick Henry

Hanover sophomore Christian Dyer, who was the only Hawk to advance to the VHSL Group 4A state championship last year, will be likely be one of Hanover’s top golfers along with seniors Ward Wilkinson and Robert Martin this year.

was postponed because of rain, the team opted to get some practice in despite the weather.

“The kids were looking outside and they would be, like, ‘It’s not raining right now, let’s go hit some balls,’ ” Pace said. “So they get out there. They’re on the putting green. They’re on the driving range. And then it started raining – and they didn’t stop. They just kept right on working. … That’s the kind of team a coach likes. They’re all

dialed in on what they’re trying to do.”

Lee-Davis The Confederates have a few experienced hands returning, but mostly they have a lot of younger players with some familiarity, but not a lot of time with, the game.

“Like in the past, we’ve got some kids that are pretty familiar with the stick-and-the-ball game, but they may not be year-

round golfers,” said Lee-Davis head coach Kenny Lewis. “Love to golf, they probably play on the weekend with their folks, great kids. They’re going to work hard and will probably get better by September.”

Lewis has one golfer, Parker Spear, who does play yearround. He expects Spear, a junior, to step into the leader role.

“I think he’ll be our anchor, no doubt, in terms of consistent scores,” Lewis said.

He believes the rest of the team will improve with more time on the course.

“They love to compete.

They’re coachable. There’s good camaraderie,” Lewis said. “I enjoy being with and around them, so I think we’ll have a lot of fun. And I think their scores will get better as the summer moves into fall.”

Seniors Bryan Diehr, Mike Gee, Matt Livesay and Sam Lyttle will join Spear among the Lee-Davis leadership.

respectively, in last year’s girls Central Zone qualifier and went on to compete in the VHSL state girls open, seemed to leave a big hole in Patrick Henry’s 2016 lineup.

“I was afraid that was going to be my last trip to states for awhile,” said Patrick Henry head coach Dave Hudak. “But now there’s hope.”

That hope comes in the form of a freshman, Jessica Rathbone, who is wasting no time working her way into the Patriots’ leadership this year.

“I got an e-mail from her dad in the spring asking about tryouts. He said his daughter had gone to a few camps this summer,” Hudak said. “I was not expecting that to mean she had been going out and placing in tournaments around the state.”

Hudak expects Hubbard and junior Rory Ailor – in his third year on the team – to anchor the Patriots’ squad.

Patrick Henry Last year, the Patriots lost two talented senior girls, Andrea Dill and Shea Burch, to graduation. Dill and Burch, who finished first and second,

King William Cavaliers head coach Jay Blanton expects his team to get its biggest boost from one of its youngest players, freshman Taylor Hubbard.

Hubbard has been a talent-

ed youth player, placing in a number of state and national events while in middle school.

While he may need some time to adjust to the several inches he has grown the past year, he has one of the better swings in the area in addition to a lot of golf knowledge.

Hubbard will most likely be No. 1. Senior Jacob Bernoski, who played well last year and is in his third year of varsity play, will be No. 2. The third through sixth spots are less clear, however.

“This year the big thing will be trying to get a decent score out of my three through six,” Blanton said. “If we can get a decent score out of three through six, we’ll be competitive. … The big thing for us, the goal, is to get better.”
