Rail status: least objectionable but not preferred By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local SHLAND — The silence was almost deafening when Department of Public and Rail Transportation director Jennifer Mitchell asked for comments following a short meeting of its Community Advisory Committee on Monday, Sept. 11, at Randolph-Macon College. This was the final in a series of meetings that tasked the committee with identifying alterna-
A
tive routes for a proposed high speed rail project from Washington, D.C., to Richmond. One committee member described the final session as anti-climactic as only two members of the community panel spoke when it came time for recommendations. With a scheduled Commonwealth Transportation Board meeting less than a week away, the final meeting of the CAC was billed as the final step in the local decision-making process, but the final step left some scratching
their heads. At the last meeting, committee members eliminated some of the studied alternatives, but did not reach final conclusions. The paths of the proposed Ashland section of the DC2RVA project have splintered a community, pitting town residents against those who own property in the path of a proposed western bypass option. “I know this has been an emotional, difficult topic for a lot of people because we do realize
how much it affects all of the communities,� Mitchell said. “We are here, most importantly, to keep moving forward and talking about the least objectionable alternatives that are still out there regarding the eastern bypass and western bypass alternatives and to talk about what our next steps will be.� At the conclusion of the August meeting, the committee reached a consensus on the least objectionable options for above grade and below see RAIL, pg. 8

HANOVER — Sixteen years later, the memories of September 11, 2001, are still fresh in the minds of many Americans, and, last week, a group of Hanover County citizens gathered to reflect and remember the terrible tragedies of that day, and the heroes who emerged in those desperate hours. In an annual ceremony held at the courthouse, Hanover County Board of Supervisors chair Angela Kelly-Wiecek told the assembled group that ceremonies like the one

That spirit was alive and well when recent disaster hit the country see REMEMBER, pg. 5

numbers shows some encouraging results. “The students of Hanover County are achieving at high levels on all SOL (Standards of Learning) tests administered in the spring of 2017,” Disharoon said. The director indicated the above average numbers are not the only indicator of successful instruction in Hanover schools. “It is important to note that scores and numbers aren’t everything. In our classrooms, we measure success in mul-
This is the 48th annual parade to bring Santa to the Town of Ashland. Kickoff is at 2:15 p.m. The annual event usually attracts about 100 entries so early planning is imperative.
As always, the parade will be held on the Sunday before Thanksgiving (Nov. 26), this year that will be on Thursday, Nov. 19. The parade route is along Thompson Street to England
Street then turn down Henry Street and end at Archie Canon Blvd. Again this year, invitations will be emailed to all recent participants by the third week of September. Note: Emailed.
Entries are due back by Oct. 20. If your organization has not participated in the parade and would like to be considered, notify organizers by Friday, Sept. 22.
It is very difficult, if not impossible to add entries after the lineup has been established. For more information, email ashlandkiwanis@gmail. com.
tiple ways,” Disharoon said. “Behind every number there’s a story.” Hanover students exceeded state passing rates in English, science, history, math and reading, leading the state in the latter category. The success of Hanover students also is measured by the number of students taking AP (Advanced Placement) classes, enrolled in IB (International Baccalaureate) programs or taking classes at the Advanced College Academy. Those figures were all on the rise with the exception of IB enrollment that was slightly down from past years.
Disharoon said she expects those numbers to return to their usual level within the next year. The number of Hanover students attending four-year colleges also is slightly down due to an increase in the number of students attending twoyear programs. Dual enrollment and CTE (Career Technical Education) curricula also are enjoying increased pass and participation rates, and the county continues to boast one of the state’s lowest dropout rates and highest graduation rates. “Overall, the majority of our students are choosing
rigor to support their future plans,” Disharoon said. “We are graduating students who have real and viable plans for their future. Students in “Hanover are receiving an excellent education and are achieving at high levels as measured by different performance data.” Superintendent Michael Gill noted the figures are encouraging, but added the job of educating Hanover children doesn’t end with the passing grades. “We all recognize there’s always work to be done,” Gill said. “We have five major subject areas and we came up
or held the same in everything except one.” Student scores in math fell by a percentage point but still exceeded state passing averages, and fifth grade math scores were down by several points. Disharoon explained that students begin to encounter multi-step questions on the fifth grade math SOL test, and are required to extract information before they perform the actual math. That could account for the dip. In other news, Gill provided an update on the first day of school; an opening he said went well. “We had a great opening week of school,” Gill said. The superintendent said that: Middle school students attended more than 17,000 classes. High school teachers
taught more than 1,100 classes. More than 6,500 lunches were served. Just short of 250 buses completed 9,000 miles. “That was just day one and we repeat that 179 more times,” Gill said. “The countless smiles and hugs, the high fives that you saw really tell more of the story than the statistics do.” Christie Church of the American Heart Association recognized Hanover County schools for their achievements in community service and fundraising during the past year. Twelve Hanover schools participated in the Heart Wellness program and raised more than $78,000 for the organization, earning the county a ranking of second among 27 counties that participated.

MECHANICSVILLE — Old Church Creamery, a family-owned business located in Mechanicsville, has opened a new production facility in Hanover County at 8098 Shady Grove Rd. The company is a family-owned business that was started in 2008 by Keith and Catherine Long in the Old Church area of Hanover County. The family then moved to King William County in order to rent a larger farm and expand their herd of Jersey cows, and, nearly 10 years later, Old Church Creamery has moved its business back to Hanover County. “With our long and proud tradition of supporting agri-business, we are very pleased to welcome Old Church Creamery to Hanover County,” said Angela Kelly-Wiecek, chair of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. “Old Church Creamery’s commitment to quality as well as sustainability gives Hanover families more options to enjoy outstanding natural and locally-sourced products.” The Longs said they believe in environmentally sustainable farming and stay up-to-date with best practices in biodynamic farming, which emphasizes the uses of manures and composts without
artificial chemicals. “We are inspired by others who paved the way for us,” said Catherine Long. “This new production facility in Hanover County will allow us to grow our customer base and provide more of our dairy products to the citizens in the Greater Richmond area.” The family’s cows are located on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley. Fresh milk is transported directly from the farm to the Hanover creamery where it is processed in small batches into a full range of dairy products, including chocolate milk, yogurt and the probiotic drink, kefir, which is growing in popularity. Old Church Creamery is the only dairy in Virginia processing 100% grassfed milk from its own cows. No grain or other feeds are fed to the cows other than high quality minerals required for optimum health. The business also is the only creamery in Virginia producing “creamline” yogurt, which is the traditional method of fermenting milk in the cup. This process yields a smooth, full-bodied yogurt, with a layer of cream on top. The company’s products are sold to specialty grocery stores and online in Charlottesville,

and Kelly-Wiecek said that neighbor helping neighbor attitude makes America special. “Recent events in Houston and Florida have shown us glimmers again of those days — people helping their neighbors in the face of disaster, strangers risking their lives to rescue others from flooded homes, a crush of donations in food, supplies and hard dollars to ease the plight of the afflicted,” KellyWiecek said. “This, my friends, is America – this should be our focus.” Chief Jethro Piland of Hanover Fire/EMS and Lt. Col. Allen Davidson of the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office also delivered tributes to the first responders.

Richmond, Virginia Beach and the Williamsburg area. Old Church’s probiotic products are made daily at the Grade A creamery in Mechanicsville. The base for the yogurts and kefir is 100% low-temperature pasteurized Jersey breed whole milk from pasture-raised cows. The high butterfat and protein make for notable different yogurts and kefir. They preserve and represent the quality of the milk by limiting or avoiding sugar or flavored products. The company began renovations on the current location in late 2016. Working closely with the Virginia Department of Health, the Hanover Office of Economic Development and Del. Chris Peace, R-97, the company is permitted to produce dairy products for sale throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. For more information on Old Church Creamery, visit www.oldchurchcreamery. com.

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor
Enon UMC’s compassion shines By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Last week, we published an article about two 70-year-old Georgetown Road men whose home is literally crumbling down around them. Enon United Methodist Church (UMC) has stepped up and started a fundraising project to raise $80,000, as well as a new septic system, for the purchase of a double wide modular home. Junior and Melray Alexander do not have an indoor toilet, in addition to suffering with a very leaky roof and holes in the floor of their house. The images shown to the right give
you an idea of the living conditions. Hard to believe, isn’t it? Sadly, we often get caught up in our day-today lives and lose sight of the needs of our neighbors. God bless the kind folks at Enon UMC for taking on this worthwhile and compassionate cause. In a recent phone call with Bob Gibson of Enon UMC, the goal is to have the men in the double wide next month. The Alexanders have always worked. They cut grass, sell firewood, do repairs and odd jobs. However, they have not been able to financially repair or replace their home.
Enon UMC is now looking to the community to help in making the double wide home for Junior and Melray a reality. Any amount is welcome. Please donate. These are neighbors. To help Enon UMC collect enough donations to buy the double wide and install a septic system, send a check to: Alexander Home Fund, Enon UMC, P.O. Box 68, Studley VA 23162. A GoFundMe page — Alexander Home Fund is online accepting donations too. Let’s help the Enon UMC get that home as soon as possible.
Remembering the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist When a wave of low pressure first appeared off the Cape Verde coast of Africa more than two weeks ago, no one paid it much notice. But less than three days later, the storm had a name, and forecasters in the United States began to pay closer attention to a hurricane named Irma. But, for most of us, it was still just
an item in the news. Even for the many who have relatives and friends in Florida, it didn’t seem that serious, and we’ve learned to live with the threat of an occasional Atlantic storm that reaches hurricane strength. Days after it formed, Irma began a path of destruction through the Caribbean, and set its sights on the Florida Keys. National news outlets began full-time coverage of the storm, and photos of long lines of auto-

mobiles exiting the narrow strip of bridges and islands alerted the less novice of the impending doom. I didn’t need the reaffirmation of what a hurricane can do when it hits a small group of islands that some call paradise, and many more now call home. Decades earlier, I’d stood at a small memorial on Upper Matecumbe Key and read the tributes to the more than 400 people who died in the Labor Day Hurricane of
1935. A cement crypt located near the monument contains the cremated remains of more than 200 of its victims, a somber reminder of the fury that lurks only yards away from the memorial. Weather forecasts didn’t name storms in those days, but the Labor Day hurricane didn’t need one to be remembered as the strongest hurricane to ever hit the Florida Keys, see CHARITABLE, pg. 22

ground through town options. A plan to construct a three-track trench through the center of Ashland and partially bury the passing freight and passenger trains was deemed the least destructive of the options. Major Jim Foley told his fellow board members that the least objectionable above ground option was a 3-2-3 plan that does not disturb the current placement of tracks through Ashland. Mitchell asked board members to supply a preferred option regarding the bypasses. “What we’d like to do is carry that forward to the CTB so that they will have that information as they are looking at making a recommendation on a locally preferred alternative,” Mitchell said. She specifically asked Hanover County representatives if they had arrived at a preferred bypass option. County administrator and committee member Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. spoke first. “We have considered the remaining eastern bypass options and do not feel — given the high cost and impacts to the community — that any of these are viable,” Harris said. After meeting with DRPT officials, Harris said his delegation was faced with the hard decision of selecting one of four possible western bypass routes. He noted that the panel studied detailed maps that identified affected properties. “Our review of these maps indicates that the number of developed, residential properties could range from 24 to 36 and two of those options directly affect a church.” Harris said he favored a plan called AWB #1 because it offered the least disruption and required the least acquisition of residences. “We feel the western bypass option of AWB1 is the overall least objectionable alternative, although far from a good option.” Harris said that option featured some

routing options that could allow developers to lessen the impact on residential properties. He also indicated the route should be changed so that it did not claim a daycare center located on the edge of the town. “We’re not here tonight to suggest any other corridors other than AWB1, but we think we’ve identified ways to made improvements to that,” Harris said. Another member of the Hanover delegation on the CAC, Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley, offered a slightly different take on the selection. “There’s no single answer that satisfies everyone’s concerns,” Stanley said as he detailed the proposed route of AWB1. He described a seven-mile stretch of new track located west of Ashland that would impact about 28 residents and cause temporary construction delays for numerous others. Stanley pointed out that number of seizures exceeds the total amount of properties taken for the entire 123-mile project; by a factor of seven. While Stanley said he could relate to the negative aspects of the disruptive nature of the trench alternative, he stopped short of endorsing the through town option during his remarks. After the meeting, Stanley made his position more clear. “I’m going to look out for the western portion,” he said. “We were asked to pick one route. All of the routes were bad and some took as many as 36 houses.” Stanley said the CTB will have to sort out a final decision, but made clear he did not endorse a western bypass option. “I don’t see how the CTB or anybody else without some bias can vote for those houses being taken. I just can’t see taking 28 houses,” Stanley said. He said he understood the disruptive nature of a major construction project like the trench project in Ashland. “The town will have disruption and we understand that’s going to be tough,” Stanley said. “But the businesses will still be open and the sidewalks will be open.” Mitchell took the comments of those

two committee members as a recommendation. “Does anyone else object to moving forward with the alternative western bypass #1 as the least objectionable with this group?” Her inquiry was met with silence. DRPT will issue a one-page summary of the committee’s selections and “We understand that none of these constitute an actual endorsement by this body of any single alternative. We’ll be sure to make that very clear,” Mitchell said. Ashland Town Manager Josh Farrar said the recommendations represent the least objectionable options. “This is the next stop in the process,” Farrar said. “I think we’ve come to a point where we have the three least objectionable alternatives, none of them are really preferred.” Even though the trend option moves forward as the least objectionable through town, below ground option, it has its own set of challenges. “We heard loud and clear from the community that there are a lot of issues with the trench. We have a lot of work to do before anyone could consider supporting that,” Farrar said. Foley said the process got “as far as it could get together,” but was candid regarding the two options that made the cut for through town alternatives. “That’s not really a choice because 32-3 is not acceptable to CSX,” Foley said. “The trench is not a viable option. The construction would have permanent lasting impacts on our community — longterm generational impacts.” Foley said he would consult with his council members and a position page would be forthcoming, outlining the town’s position. The CTB will hold a public hearing at Patrick Henry High School. It is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 11. A final decision by the CTB is due in December and will be forwarded to the Federal Railroad Administration for consideration, a process that could take up to 15 months.

Mechanicsville Baptist prepares to celebrate 40 years Westhill Baptist Church and Venable Baptist Church proposed merger in 1977; united fellowship looks to God’s leadership Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com
M
ECHANICSVILLE — Some said it couldn’t be done when 18-year-old Westhill Baptist Church and 103-year-old Venable Baptist Church proposed to merge back in 1977. Now, 40 years later, the new church, Mechanicsville Baptist, gratefully celebrates a united fellowship of believers under God’s leadership. Venable leaders reached out to Westhill to see if there was interest in exploring the possibility of merger, with a small group from each church
The two congregations successfully merged two staffs, two Sunday Schools, two deacon bodies, two mission organizations, two music ministries, two youth ministries, two media centers, and numerous committees, into one cohesive congregation. They were led by Rev. Donald Stewart, former pastor of the Venable Church, who served until his retirement in 1997. He was followed by the Rev. Chris Fowler who led the church from 2000 to 2007. Dr. Tim Madison has been pastor since 2009 and continues to serve, As the new fellowship grew, more space was needed
Keenage Club gatherings and a contemporary worship service on Sundays. The church restored the original house on the property to be a home for furloughing Baptist missionaries.

Out of these informal meetings came a sense of God’s direction and the concept was brought before each congregation. Members of both congregations warmed to the idea and excitement grew.

the 9\11 terrorist attack on New York City and participating in the construction of many Hanover Habitat for Humanity homes. Other community outreach projects include building ramps for the disabled, providing a clothes closet through MCEF (Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions), a community food pantry and a ministry to a juvenile correctional center. In 2009, Mechanicsville Baptist sponsored a refugee family from Burma, providing them a home and necessities. The music ministry is a vital part of the worship and work of the church. Brenda Brown, Minister of Music, is the only staff member who has served throughout the 40
years. The music ministry has provided children’s choirs, youth choirs, handbell choirs, a ladies ensemble and adult choir. The annual cantatas have added spiritual emphasis to the holidays of Christmas and Easter. These choirs have performed in retirement homes, shopping malls, for civic organizations and other churches as well as in Austria and Poland. Another important facet of the church is the youth ministry. Successive youth ministers along with volunteers from the church membership have led the youth in many opportunities to study and serve through retreats, mission trips and service projects.
Upon reflection of how God has worked in the life of Mechanicsville Baptist Church, there is a prevailing sense of gratitude and praise. The church not only celebrates what God has accomplished through it in the past, but looks forward with hope to what He will accomplish in the future. The celebration will be held the weekend of Oct. 14-15 at 8016 Atlee Rd. in Mechanicsville. The membership invites the public to join the celebration at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, in the Family Life Center and at 11 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 15, in the sanctuary with lunch to follow. The Rev. Charles Morrison, former associate pastor of Westhill, will bring the morning message.

Open enrollment period for land use program underway HANOVER — Hanover County offers a Land Use Taxation Program under which qualified landowners can have their property assessed at “use value,” which may be lower than market value and reduce taxes owed. The application period for this program began Friday, Sept. 1, and extends through Nov. 1, with an additional enrollment period Jan. 1 through Feb. 1, 2018. Landowners who have kept their property in agricultural, horticultural, forest or open space uses for at least five years can qualify for the land
use program. The minimum qualifying acreages are five acres for agricultural, horticultural and open space and 20 acres for forest use. Property that has been zoned Rural Conservation (RC) also can qualify for the Land Use program. If the land use is changed, the tax reduction must be repaid with simple interest for the current tax year and potentially up to the previous five tax years. In November 2013, the Hanover County
Board of Supervisors modified the program to allow property rezoned for specified, more intense, uses to remain eligible for land use. Under this change, property rezoned for manufacturing; transportation and warehousing; professional, scientific and technical services; hotels and motels; and professional offices can still be in the land use program. Roll-back taxes would not apply until the actual use is changed. About 3,552 parcels and 159,173 acres are currently enrolled in Hanover County’s Land
Use Taxation program. This represents about 55% of the county’s total acreage. The total tax deferral realized by these property owners is about $5.3 million. For more information about the Land Use Program or other tax relief programs offered by Hanover County, call the Commissioner of the Revenue at 804-365-6125 or visit the Land Use page for the Commissioner of the Revenue at www.hanovercounty.gov. Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.
EDGE
Grant Azdell, vice president for Student Affairs and dean of students, said that Brown will be a vital addition to the campus community. “The Edge program is an integral part of the R-MC experience, and Dontrese’s enthusiasm and acumen will strengthen this important student resource,” said Azdell. “Our faculty and curriculum challenge students; our Edge program turns skills into action. With an extraordinary education and the help of faculty advisors, coaches, and alumni, preparation for success begins the moment our students set foot on campus. And the Yellow Jacket connection continues long after graduation: Alumni serve as
mentors, and faculty continue to encourage and inspire. These partnerships last a lifetime.” Brown, whose position at R-MC began on Sept. 18, said, “I’m excited to join the RandolphMacon family. I look forward to helping nurture and inspire students to become creative thinkers, effective transformational leaders and great members of society. The Edge is a tremendous program—one that helps students find their purpose, create lasting networks, and reach their personal and career potential.” Brown earned his B.F.A. in graphic design from Georgetown College and his M.A. in graphic design from Morehead State University.
Throughout his career, Brown has led various teams from a creative and development perspective, and he is passionate about brand design, creative strategy and teamwork. He previously served as director of Brand Creative for Capital One Bank; and as creative director for Victorinox Swiss Army, Inc. Prior to that, Brown served as creative director at SCHAWK!, a global brand production company; and as art director for TJX Companies. From 1999-2005, Brown served as a professor of graphic design at Georgetown College. Brown also serves as chair of the Cristo Rey Richmond High School project.

career program for students. The Edge also incorporates the college’s preprofessional programs and Bassett Internship program and builds on its engaged alumni and business leader network. “We are thrilled to welcome Dontrese to the Randolph-Macon College community,” said Lindgren. “Our students will reap the benefits of his creative expertise and his leadership skills, and his forward-thinking will complement our already robust Edge program.”

Supervisors start to craft 2018 legislative agenda By Jim Ridolphi for the Mechanicsville Local ANOVER — With the start of the Virginia General Assembly session still weeks away, officials are refining Hanover County’s legislative agenda for 2018. That process began in July when the legislative committee met and began the process of updating a list of action items and policy initiatives. County Attorney Sterling Rives continued that process at last Wednesday’s regular board meeting as he outlined a draft explaining the county’s legislative concerns. Road funding is a major issue for many Virginia counties, including Hanover, and Rives said recent cuts to secondary road resources have presented challenges regarding funding. Cuts to the state’s Six-Year Secondary Road Plan and its revenue sharing program coupled with stringent controls on the use of

proffers has stifled localities’ ability to fund vital road projects that don’t qualify under the state’s Smartscale Program. Rives said the county would ask that the General Assembly “take whatever actions are necessary to restore funding to the Six-Year Secondary Road Fund to pre-recession levels adjusted for inflation.” According to Rives, funding for this year’s plan represents only 12 percent of its 2004 levels. The legislative agenda also will include requests to restore and replenish the state’s revenue sharing program. “These are key sources of revenue for counties like Hanover who are dealing with smaller road projects necessitated by residential growth,” Rives said. In a related agenda item, the board is considering methods to amend recent changes to the state’s proffer guidelines that have limited locality’s ability to negotiate with developers for related improvements.

ted with WPA work camps manned by World War I veterans who found work building the Overseas Highway and other infrastructure on the Keys. Warnings of the impending storm came too late to evacuate the workers, and many were forced to face the wind and rain in temporary shelters or tents. A train was sent from Miami to rescue the veterans, but the wind from the storm blew it off the tracks near Matacumbe Key. While people still remember the great Galveston storm as the most devastating regarding the loss of human life, the Labor Day storm of 1935 claimed almost half of the then population of the middle keys and destroyed what we now know as Islamorada.

Rives floated language last year that sought to amend the law to allow more flexibility locally regarding proffers and their collection. “This would request that the General Assembly provide some relief from the stringent measures in the proffer legislation that was adopted in 2016,” Rives said. Rives indicated there is increasing support for amendments. Developers feel limited in their abilities to negotiate aspects of projects with local elected officials before the approval process. “One possible scenario is if we can get developers to talk to the homebuilders, talk to the legislators and work together with us, we can come up with language that would provide relief from the horror stories of proffers that have been told but yet allow responsible localities to work with responsible developers and homebuilders to do what’s necessary to ensure that the impact of new development are mitigated,” Rives said. “That would be our goal.” Mechanicsville District Supervisor Canova Peterson sug-
It’s still unknown the true extent of the damage Irma caused to the Florida Keys, but its path up the western coast of Florida is well documented and cleanup will be long and arduous for Floridians hit by the storm. That possibility hit close to home as the storm headed for Tampa late last week. My sister, her children and grandchildren live in the greater Tampa area, so my concern for what was being described as a storm of epic proportion headed for the flood-prone area was heightened. On Friday, I called and tried to convince her to move northward and come to Richmond to ride out the storm, but she felt the solid construction and hurricane-proof windows on her home would provide a safe
gested urging legislators to form a committee to begin looking at what changes are needed. “Maybe we should look at getting the General Assembly to put together a group of appropriate citizens and community representatives to study how to do this, rather than trying to go in and trying to change it,” Peterson said. “We can get them to start thinking about it.” Chair Angela Kelly-Wiecek said that would be an important matter to discuss with the county’s legislative team. South Anna Supervisor Wayne Hazzard said the effort to amend the proffers would take a collaborative approach with localities, developers and homebuilders working together. “I think it will happen once developers and homebuilders get together and decide there is a reasonable thing that we could push forward to the legislature. I think it’s going to have to be hand-in-hand with the localities, the homebuilders and developers,” Hazzard said. “That may not happen this year.”
refuge from the storm. Despite my best efforts, she decided to stay. Next morning, I learned the whole family was on the move, evacuated and on the way to an unknown destination preferably far away from the attacking storm. They ended up sheltering in Myrtle Beach until the storm passed Tampa and caused less damage that originally anticipated. We won’t know the true cost of Irma for days or weeks, and some communities will take years to rebuild and reclaim their portion of the Florida dream. For me, watching day after day of bumper-to-bumper traffic exiting the state to avoid Hurricane Irma is a somber reminder that paradise is never
guaranteed and living near a tropical oasis has a price. Thousands of Floridians are feeling that pinch as they begin to file back into the state, my sister included. The next few days of brilliant sunshine and cool ocean breezes will make the memories of Irma fade, but the reality of what could be is forever planted in a sense of security that is only as solid as the weather forecast. They’ll face the cleanup with what has been described as “Florida spirit” accompanied with a cautious sense of optimism. The evacuated returnees know there’s one out there somewhere in the future, bigger and stronger, just waiting to aim its fury on the Sunshine State.

ECPI students assist Washington Redskins players By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local GLEN ALLEN — The Washington Redskins have been coming to Richmond for summer training camp and for five years students at ECPI University’s Richmond/ Moorefield campus have provided massage therapy for the team. The NFL team invited the ECPI students to assist players for three weeks during the camp. Working alongside professionals such as doctors, physical therapists and athletic trainers, students get the chance to gain experience to learn through doing. The educational program at ECPI, in addition to its partnership with the Redskins and their medical team, was created to drive professional growth and education focused on hands-on experience. Massaging NFL athletes is about as hands-on as you can get, and considered ideal for students who are studying that type of therapy. “Professional athletes are physically very different. Obviously, their muscles are
well-defined and tend to be large. Our students will have the opportunity to make connections between their work and the body parts they are trying to address visually and kinesthetically,” said Ashley Richards, ECPI University Campus president. Of the 17 ECPI University students who participated in the 2017 Redskins training camp, three were from Powhatan and one each from Henrico, Mechanicsville and Midlothian. “This opportunity provides real-life sports massage scenarios that will be of tremendous benefit to our students,” Richards said. David Brandt, ECPI director of communications, talked about how unique and rare the experience is for these pupils. “This is a great opportunity for these students; you know – you typically don’t get to work on the type of muscle definition these guys have, and just some stuff you don’t get to see very often,” Brandt said. Dawn Lally, a graduate student from Mechanicsville, said her favorite part of the

program is the real-world exposure she has obtained. “[My favorite part is] the experience working with professional athletes, their shape and body style,” Lally said. She also said she really enjoyed the general population she was working with – from highly trained professionals including chiropractors to “desk-workers and contractors.” Powhatan senior Madison Clodius said “It’s a lot of fun; it’s a cool environment because one second there won’t be any players and we get to talk [and learn], and then the next second the players will be coming in. They’re excited to get worked on, they’re immediately getting on the tables and they’re all like joking with each other – joking with us sometimes [too].” Speaking of muscle mass, massaging the deep-tissue of NFL football players is no simple task, and it is tiring. “A lot of them complain about their legs being so tight, sometimes I feel like I can’t even … they’re like ‘more pressure, more pressure!’ and I’m like elbow-deep in their

legs and thighs,” Clodius said. Richards talked about the skill-level their students have, in combination with their knowledge base, which leads to ECPI’s invitation to come back each year to support the Redskins in the important role.
“It gives our students some experience that’s a little outside of massage therapy, but so complimentary to us and our understanding of how these things can work together,” Richards said. “It’s definitely very cool to work with the athletes, but
the other thing is – this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and something that almost no one can put on their resumé.” For more information on the program with the Redskins, contact Richards at 804) 330-5533 or asrichards@ ecpi.edu.

Rice, Lee-Davis play big, control Jaguars By Chip Knighton For the Mechanicsville Local GLEN ALLEN – The team that controls the ball will generally win most football games. Lee-Davis and Josh Rice just have a different method of control. One week after earning Richmond Times-Dispatch Player of the Week honors for a 104-yard, four-touchdown effort in a victory over Douglas Freeman, the junior running back finished with 223 yards and three touchdowns on just nine carries as the Confederates claimed a 51-13 win at Glen Allen on Friday night. Rice flipped the field with two runs of more than 80 yards as the Confederates (3-0) showcased as explosive an offense as you’ll see in a high-school matchup. Their seven scoring drives totaled 21 plays and just 7:37 of game time, with 3:18 of that coming on one thirdquarter possession – and even that drive ended in a big play, with Kemar McCauley taking a screen pass from Zach Lass and going 50 yards for a score. “We’re typically three yards and a cloud of dust,” Lee-Davis coach Ryan Turnage said. “They were blitzing, and sometimes you pick all that stuff up, there’s nobody in the middle of the field and it’s going to be big plays. They’re taking a chance, trying to get a big play, and they
behind]”, Rice said. “Then when I grabbed him, when I put my hand back, I knew I was going to be caught. It’s cool, because I scored the next play.” The next two Lee-Davis drives showcased Hargrove (two catches, 37 yards) and Johnson (three carries, 33 yards and a five-yard touchdown) as the Confederates took a 21-0 lead into the half. On the other side, the Jaguars (0-3) struggled to get any positive momentum until their first drive of the second half, when they went 71 yards in 12 plays to set up Donovan Riddick’s three-yard touchdown run. Even the broken plays went the Confederates’ way. They got a safety on a botched Glen Allen punt snap, then picked up a fourth-quarter two-point conversion when Lass scooped up a bad snap and completed an offbalance heave to Hargrove. Sophomore running back Devin Flowers led Glen Allen with 29 carries for 172 yards and a late touchdown, with 80 yards coming on the Jaguars’ final drive. “I thought we kept him bottled up,” Turnage said. “He ripped off a couple of runs, but he’s a good back. Good backs John Beebe for The Local are going to do that. We knew Glen Allen’s Stephen Dutton (20) overtakes Lee-Davis kick returner Josh Rice (5) in the Confederates’ 51-13 win Friday night. that he was their guy, and they get a big play run on them.” did their part, Rice was the 81-yard run where Glen Allen’s first touchdown of the evening gave it to him, and I thought we did a pretty good job on him, Although Lass, McCauley, main reason for those quick Quenton Pines caught him on the next play. running back Jamir Johnson drives.

Atlee progress stymied by Douglas Freeman By Daniel Fritz For the Mechanicsville Local HENRICO – Atlee’s visit to Douglas Freeman started out promising enough Friday night. The return of sophomore quarterback Tyler Warren, shaken up in a game earlier this season, provided a glimpse of what could be as he led a potent spread offense to the game’s first score. But by halftime, the hope of that beginning was fading. Tyler had been knocked out of the game, the Raiders trailed by a touchdown and eventually fell to their hosts 28-7. The loss dropped Atlee to 03 on the season, but the Raiders – young but full of talent and fight – still can aspire to turn around the season. “You see the fight our kids have,” said Atlee head coach Matt Gray. “We aren’t going to accept the fact that we are young as an excuse anymore. We’ve got great competitors. We just have to get better.” Warren wasted no time making his presence felt after Atlee received the opening kickoff. On the second play from scrimmage, the quarterback scampered for a 21-yard run, carrying Rebel defenders with him inside Freeman territory. A few plays later, Warren found wideout Cameron Foreman deep down the sideline, connecting on a 32-yard bomb and setting up a Raider first-and-goal opportunity. The 68-yard opening drive was capped with a 3-yard scoring run by Tucker Bratton, giving Atlee an early 7-0 lead. The game remained a backand-forth contest until the middle of the second quarter. The balanced attack of the Atlee offense and the pass-happy Rebels – led by senior quarterback Jack Pollard – traded field position.

Dave Lawrence/The Local
Right, Atlee cornerback John Johnson (5) brings down Douglas Freeman wide receiver Michael Horsford (8) in Freeman’s 28-7 win Friday. Above, Atlee starting quarterback Tyler Warren (10) breaks around the right side for an early gain.
Freeman got on the board on a Pollard 4-yard run, for which he was punished by the Raider defense. He scrambled to his left and leapt into the air reaching the ball across the goal line, taking hard hits from a gang of Atlee tacklers along the way. The turning point of the game would come two Atlee possessions later when the score was knotted 7-7. On a fourthand-7 near midfield, Warren lined up for a punt to try and pin the Rebels deep inside their own territory. The snap sailed over Warren’s 6- foot5-inch frame. The quarterback retreated to field the errant snap and attempted to kick the ball, but a hard hit to the head led to a fumble recovered by the Rebels. When the dust settled, the Raiders had given up 25 yards of field possession, and worse yet, Warren – who missed last week after being shaken up in Atlee’s season opener – remained on the grass for several minutes. He did not re-enter the game. Atlee Coach Matt Gray was livid following the controversial play, pleading his case to the
The Mechanicsville Local
officials for an illegal hit. Gray declined to comment on the situation after the game. Emotions remained high has Freeman went to work with a short field, finishing the drive with a 2-yard Korry Cooper touchdown. T.C. Nance took over the Atlee offense for the remainder of the game. His first drive started strong with a 17-yard completion, leading the Raiders
September 20, 2017
down the field and setting up 42-yard fake field goal attempt that ended just 7 yards short of the goal line to close out the first half. The Raiders struggled for much of the second half. Nance compiled ten completions on 18 attempts and one interception, but the offense was never able to establish a rhythm. The Rebels (2-2) moved quickly down field on the open-
ing possession of the third quarter. The drive ended on 21-yard touchdown pass from Pollard to tight end Liam Simpson. Pollard rolled to his left and threw a jump ball before being driven into the sideline on a hit that resulted in a roughing the passer call. “Honestly, I didn’t see [Simpson],” Pollard said. “After I threw it, I heard the crowd cheering and that’s how I knew
we scored.” The Raiders finally got a spark from their defense while trailing 21-7. Pollard again found Simpson on seam pass and it appeared as if he would cruise into the end zone for another score. Just before he crossed the goal line, the ball popped into the air, and into the arms of an Atlee defender. see ATLEE, pg. 31

for the most part.” While Lee-Davis stayed undefeated with relative ease, the degree of difficulty ramps up considerably next week with a home tilt against Highland Springs. “It’s a lot of momentum,” Hargrove said, “especially for our next game we’ve got coming up against Highland Springs. That’s who we’ve got to beat, and that’s who we’re focused on right now.” Hawks earn first win RICHMOND – Hanover placekicker John Dustin converted a 21-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to break a 7-all tie and lead the visiting Hawks went on to 10-7 win over host Mills Godwin Friday night. Justyn Haynesworth returned a fumble 30 yards for a score in the first quarter to put Hanover on top first. The score remained 7-0 until the third, when Sean Bowers ran in from 2 yards out to put Mills Godwin on the board. Bowers finished with 115 yards passing and an interception. Eric Rankin led Hanover with 89 yards rushing on 27 carries. Chip Knighton can be reached at sports@mechlocal. com.

Sikkar gives Patriots late boost over Wildcats By Arthur Utley For the Times-Dispatch ASHLAND – The Deep Run and Patrick Henry football teams used to meet each season when both were in the Colonial District or playing a Colonial schedule after realignment. They didn’t play the past two years, when Patrick Henry was reassigned and began playing a Capital District schedule. The Wildcats are back on Patrick Henry’s schedule as a replacement for Mills Godwin, and the two teams engaged in a showdown of hard-nosed rushing attacks Friday night at Patrick Henry. The Patriots won 30-27. They have won their first three games for first-year coach Keith Braxton and are 3-0 at this point in the season for the second year in a row. The teams combined to rush for 582 yards, 249 for Deep Run and 233 for Patrick Henry. Wildcats quarterback Aidan Wheeler carried 21 times for 113 yards (75 in the first quarter) and four touchdowns. He had help from bullish Chris Konstantinidis, who rushed 14 times for 74 yards. Running back Samandre Williams, who also takes snaps in the wildcat formation alongside quarterback Alex Sikkar, rushed for 112 yards on 19 carries and scored a touchdown for the Patriots. Sikkar, a sophomore, has been thrust into the lineup while returning starter Hunter Hart is recuperating from an illness. Sikkar put the Patriots in front for good when he raced 60 yards for a touchdown on the first play of Patrick Henry’s first possession in the third quarter. Sikkar also threw touchdown passes to Terrance Oxendine (14 yards) and Devyn Coles (9 yards), and completed two 2point conversion passes.

Hill leads Hawks over L-D By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor
Nick Liberante for The Local
Patrick Henry’s Terrance Oxendine (3) and Jamel Jackson celebrate after Oxendine scored in the Patriots’ 30-27 win Friday.
The Patriots “just keep fighting. This one was a challenge because Deep Run came ready to play. I knew they would. They are a disciplined bunch, a tough bunch, and they also are fighters, so it was a good test for our guys (to play the whole game),” Patrick Henry coach Keith Braxton said. “They need to be commended for continuing to fight. You know, Alex played a really good game. He’s getting better every week. Samandre

also played a really good game. Defensively, we’ve got some things to clean up, I think. We’ll be better next week. It wasn’t pretty, but we did enough.” Deep Run, playing quickly, scored on its first possession. Wheeler finished off a 77-yard drive with a 2-yard run. The extra point attempt failed. Patrick Henry took the lead on Sikkar’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Oxendine before Wheeler scored again to put
Deep Run back in front. Patrick Henry moved in front with the help of a safety, and Williams’ 22-yard touchdown run, but Wheeler scored his third touchdown to give the Wildcats a 20-18 lead at halftime. Sikkar’s 60-yard burst and his 9-yard touchdown pass to Coles put the Patriots up by 10. Wheeler’s fourth touchdown came with 4:38 remaining. The Wildcats had two more possessions but couldn’t get past the
Patriots’ defense. “I rely on my brothers and as long as we’re straight and get everything done, it is mission accomplished,” said Terry Henderson, who logged three tackles for losses. “We came off other games a little slow. Now we’re starting to get it together.” Williams said the Patriots started out slow on offense as well. “We kept on fighting and fighting and fighting. I just told
MANQUIN – LeeDavis golfer Austin Brown shot the lights out, but Hanover’s golfers, led by Jimmy Hill, proved more consistent. That consistency led the Hawks to a 165-175 win over the host Confederates in a dual golf match at Queenfield Golf Club Wednesday. Brown, Lee-Davis’ No. 2, shot a 2-over-par 38 to claim medalist honors for the day. “Awesome group of guys, you know. Awesome – everyone in the group. It was really competitive,” Brown said of his foursome, which consisted of both teams No. 1 and No. 2 golfers. Hill, Hanover’s No. 2, was just one stroke back at 39. “I could do a lot better, but I’m not upset with a 39,” Hill said. “I’m just looking to getting my scores a lot lower coming into the postseason.” see HILL, pg. 33

Raider girls dominate Confederates in sweep “I’m really proud of what they did in that situation,” Porterfield said. “I owe the kids dinner for that – I have to cook them dinner.”
By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee’s girls’ volleyball team is off to a 5-0 start in Virginia High School League play, but head coach Curtis Carpenter sees plenty of room for improvement. Carpenter said inconsistency is a problem for the Raiders, even in Tuesday night’s 25-17, 25-11, 25-19 sweep of host LeeDavis. “We have our issues with inconsistencies, which include ball control or lack thereof,” Carpenter said. “Offensively, we could be pretty strong, but ball control is a big key of being an offensive team. Without ball control – or consistent ball control – offense goes out the window.” The Raider offense did struggle at times, particularly in the third game, but for the most part had little difficulty picking apart the Confederates’ defense. Kyra Walden and Brianna Brown led the Atlee offense, finishing with eight and seven kills, respectively. Both players each claimed an ace, two blocks and two digs. Lauren O’Reilly
HILL Continued from pg. 32
Brown and Hill had contrasting strengths on the day. Brown said his putting game was his strength “I got on the green mostly in regulation,” Brown said. “I had a lot of two-putts. I had a couple of three-putts here and there, but the two-putts were mainly what kept me alive.” Hill credited his tee shots at keeping him at the front of the pack. “I was hitting my drives on

He credited the hole, not himself. “Good thing the hole was there. That ball was tracking in fast at the hole,” Hill said. “I got lucky and it rolled in, so I’m happy about that.”

CANCER • Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, slow down a little because moving faster will not get the job done right. It may only lead to sloppy mistakes that will take even more time to handle.
LIBRA • Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you push yourself a little harder this week, you will be happy with the results. Even though it may be an uphill battle, the summit will look pretty nice.
TAURUS • Apr 21/May 21 Many things around the home need your attention, Taurus. But you may be having trouble finding the motivation to tackle them right now. Get a partner to lend a helping hand.
LEO • Jul 23/Aug 23 It can be challenging to find initial support for your ideas, Leo. However, once you explain all of the specifics, there’s a good chance others will climb on board.
SCORPIO • Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when you think you can lie low and escape the week without any excitement, something pops up that requires all of your attention. Hunker down for now.
AQUARIUS • Jan 21/Feb 18 Sometimes the things that require the most work are the ones that you enjoy the most, Aquarius. Dig in deep on a new project and the rewards will come afterward.
GEMINI • May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, make a concerted and sincere effort to focus on family for the next few days. It’s time to reconnect with everyone in the house, and you will enjoy the time at home.
VIRGO • Aug 24/Sept 22 Risk can sometimes have a large payoff, Virgo. Just make sure you time your jump right or you could miss an opportunity to really shine.
SAGITTARIUS • Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, focus on something new for a while rather than a problem that has been bouncing around in your brain. Frustration will get you nowhere, so let it go for now.
PISCES • Feb 19/Mar 20 A few things still need to be sorted out, Pisces. Then you can put your feet up for the time being. Gemini has something to say this week.
CAPRICORN • Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, even if you take some time off from work, things will go on as planned. Although you are a key member of the team, others can temporarily fill your shoes.
THIS WEEK’S ANSWERS
ARIES • Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, when an opportunity comes your way, resist the temptation to pass it up thinking something better is on the horizon. There are no guarantees, so make the most of this chance.

How to plant a tree for successful growth ore sunlight and warm temperatures frequently inspire homeowners to spend more time in the great outdoors during spring and summer. Outdoor projects often top homeowners’ to-do lists in spring and summer, with gardens and landscapes taking center stage. Planting more trees around the yard is one popular project that can improve property value and benefit the environment.
systems and make it more comfortable to spend time outdoors during the summer. North Carolina State University College of Agriculture & Life Sciences says trees absorb and block noise and reduce glare. They also can trap dust, pollen and smoke. Trees also absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses from the air. One large tree can supply a day’s worth of oxygen for as many as four people, while also storing 13 pounds of carbon per year.
the new tree will adapt to its surroundings. Also, inspect trees to determine if they’re healthy before taking them home. Look for evidence of root girdling, which occurs when the roots circle around the perimeter of the container and surround the trunk. Trees should not have any dead or dormant branches. The DIY Network suggests locating the tree where it can thrive. This means selecting a spot that can make it easier for the tree to grow tall and wide. Avoid planting near the house, where roots can crack concrete or asphalt, and always plant away from underground pipes.
only the soil in the hole where the tree will be placed. Move out into a circular area beyond where the roots will start so that roots can expand and properly anchor the tree. The next method of success is to ensure that the tree has a large enough hole to contain the existing root ball and allow for roots to grow and expand. Better Homes and Gardens experts say to prepare a hole that is two to three times as wide as the root ball of the tree. Treat the root ball gently.

Recycling paper benefits the environment in a myriad of ways. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recycling paper reduces greenhouse gas emissions that can contribute to climate change by avoiding methane emissions and reducing the energy required for a number of paper products. Recycling paper also contributes to carbon sequestration, which is the process through which agricultural and forestry practices remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The Eco Preservation Society notes that carbon sequestration activities can help prevent global climate change by enhancing carbon storage in trees and soils, preserving existing tree and soil carbon and by reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Recycling paper also reduces the need for a substantial amount of landfill space and cuts back on the consumption of energy and water that is necessary to produce new paper products. Businesses looking to reduce reliance on paper can urge employees, clients and partners to use digital documents in lieu of printed documents, while private citizens can opt out of paper statements and choose to receive e-statements from their banks, mobile providers and utility companies. -Metro Creative

and new technology that has improved stainresistance, many of the pitfalls of other materials can be avoided with composite decks. Composite decking fits in with eco-friendly lifestyles. The planks are made from recycled materials that would normally end up in landfills. Products from Trex, a popular composite decking manufacturer, are made from 1.5 million shopping bags and wood mill waste. As composite decks do not rot away and are long-lasting, they will not need to be replaced frequently, which is another eco-friendly benefit. When comparing composite decking brands, look mainly at the colors, materials used in the composition and the fastening systems. Many are fastened with regular deck screws, offers This Old House. The newer systems have channels for hidden fastening, and the composite deck tiles snap into place. Composite decks do have a few drawbacks. They can be expensive Ñ nearly double the initial cost of wood decks. And although they don’t rot, composite planks can scratch. Without refinishing, damaged boards will need to be replaced. Harsh chemicals may fade color and damage the composite materials, so caution is needed. Composite decking remains an in-demand choice for outdoor spaces. Low-maintenance and long-lasting, these decks have quickly become favorites among homeowners. -Metro Creative

ecks add character and functionality to a home, increasing outdoor entertaining space and oftentimes improving the resale value of a home. Homeowners have various options when choosing decking materials, but one such option, composite decking, is growing in popularity. Decks used to primarily be made from pressure-treated lumber. While lumber remains a popular material, more and more homeowners are opting for composite decking products. As anyone who has pressure-washed, stained and sealed wood decks can attest, such spaces require lots of upkeep to look new year after year. Composite decks require much less maintenance, making them highly attractive to homeowners who would rather spend time using their decks instead of maintaining them. Composite decking is any type of decking material that is formulated from different recycled materials. The majority of these materials include hard plastic and wood shavings of pulp. Unlike wood, which can fade, crack and rot, composite decking, which has been available for roughly a decade, does not degrade quickly and requires very little upkeep. Available in a variety of wood colors to match outdoor decor, composite decks also can feature artificial wood grains to make them look similar to wood planks. Although composite decks are not completely impervious to the elements, with some occasional washing to impede mold growth

It’s the coolest time to spruce up your home and garden
eplacing old windows is often a worthwhile investment for homeowners. Energy-efficient windows can prevent heating and cooling loss and keep homes more comfortable throughout the year. Such windows also can improve a home’s resale value, proving a good return on investment for homeowners who want to upgrade their homes before putting them on the market. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, homeowners might find it more cost-effective to replace very old and/or inefficient windows to improve their energy efficiency. Such an upgrade can save homeowners substantial amounts of money on heating and cooling costs. Window replacement projects can be costly, so it pays to get the job right the first time. Before beginning a window replacement project, homeowners should research which windows will meet their specific needs, learning the subtleties between finishes and features, as well as comparing prices for the windows and installation.

The best time of year to plan window replacement is when the weather will be warm, ideally in the fall or spring. However, homeowners do not want conditions to be too warm, as each room where new windows will be installed will temporarily be exposed to the elements. Furthermore, caulk adheres better in warmer weather and will dispense easily.
Don’t ignore maintenance needs Maintenance costs involved with cleaning, repairs and painting can add up. When shopping for windows, consider the amount of maintenance they will need. Wood-framed windows may require more upkeep than aluminum, fiberglass or vinyl. Also, consider if certain window types, such as double-hung windows, casement windows, awning windows, or slider windows, would be practical.
Keep home style in mind A poor match between windows and the style of the home can produce unwanted changes in the appearance of the home. Replacement windows should match the style and appearance desired.
Expect minimal disruption

Replacement windows can be a smart investment in comfort and design appeal of a home.
Consider available features When replacing windows, homeowners may want to install the same style windows they currently have. But the problems that led to the need to replace windows may still exist even when new windows are installed. When
replacing windows, consider energy performance ratings based on the locations of the windows in the house. To make sure they make the most educated decision, homeowners can investigate the solar heat gain coefficient, Ufactor, visible transmittance and light-to-solar gain. Explanations of these ratings are available at Energy.gov.
When homeowners hire professionals who are good at their craft, window replacement projects should not be a terrible inconvenience. According to American Window Products, Inc., seasoned professionals will be able to complete a replacement window upgrade in a short amount of time depending on the size of the home and the number of windows being replaced. Replacing windows can be a costly task, but one that will provide a more energy efficient home that can help homeowners save money in the long run. -Metro Creative

The correct way to begin a home remodeling project is to obtain the necessary permits for the job. Many municipalities request individuals obtain permits for a range of work on homes or other structures, such as office buildings. Permits are generally required for all new construction as well as specific modifications that will affect structural, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems. It’s important to check with the local building office prior to beginning work to see which permits you will need before the project can begin. Permits are necessary whether a homeowner is doing the work or hiring an outside contractor. Due to the cost and time involved with securing permits, some homeowners skip this step so they can begin a project promptly. However, this can end up being a costly mistake. Permits might seem like a nuisance, but they actually protect homeowners in various ways. Metro

Tabletop firepits Homeowners,condominium or apartment dwellers with limited backyard space may want to consider the convenience of tabletop firepits.
