Linwood Thomas, left, and Larry Shaia addressed the Hanover County Board of Supervisors about economic development and a new residential project, respectively.

He noted increases in commercial building permits, a low unemployment rate and an environment that is friendly to new commercial development.

While manufacturing, health services remain strong sectors in Hanover’s economic development, Thomas said he hopes to increase sectors like IT, cyber security, and information.

There also are plans to rejuvenate interest in the Dominion Resource and Innovation Center in Ashland by holding a Shark Tank type event where the winner will be awarded $10,000 and free space at the facility.

Thomas said he wants the companies involved at DRIC to thrive and move out into the Hanover business community.

He credited increasing interest in Hanover by possible investors to the board’s decisions regarding zoning

HANOVER – As the eyes of the nation look toward Virginia’s 2017 General Election on Tuesday, the chairs of the Democratic and Republican parties in Hanover County are confident that turnout at the polls, which will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., will be the key to victory for their candidates.

Toni Radler of the Hanover County Democratic Committee said, “We expect Democrats to turn out in full force on Nov. 7 because we see what happened the last time we stayed home and didn’t vote -- the disastrous [Donald] Trump presidency.â€? “I also think Democrats will turn out in full force because we are excited about the top of the ticket -- Northam,Fairfax, Herring,â€? she said. “And really excited about our House candidates, Cori Johnson in the 97th see ELECTION, pg. 4 ď ˝

Sheriff’s Office receives multiple calls about ‘Shop With a Cop’ phone scam Staff Report news@mechlocal.com

HANOVER -- The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office has received multiple calls from citizens in regards to a phone scam.

“This scam is reoccurring in Hanover County where an unknown person(s) is contacting unsuspecting citizens claiming to be a representative with the Hanover County Fraternal Order of Police,” Sgt. James R. Cooper, public information officer for the HCSO, said. “The unknown person is claiming they are raising money for a ‘Shop With a Cop’ event.”

Multiple citizens have received this call.

“The unknown person(s) is indicating that if the citizen wishes to donate money, a ‘retired officer’ will meet them in person,” Cooper said.

“The Sheriff ’s Office has spoken with the Fraternal Order of Police and verified they are not currently conducting a fundraiser. This is a SCAM,” the sergeant emphasized.

The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office will never contact a citizen soliciting funds.

Criminals will prey on unsuspecting citizens and attempt to legitimize their call by saying they are with a reputable organization and even spoof county telephone numbers.

“If you ever have any question as to the identity of a caller representing themselves as an employee of the Sheriff ’s Office or any other reputable organization, please contact the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office immediately,” Cooper added. If you are a victim of a recent scam related to this particular event, contact the Sheriff ’s Office at 804-365-6140.

Lani is a sweetheart who would love a new home. She has been in the shelter for about two months now. Lani has a very sweet personality and loves to be social. She does well around other dogs as well. Lani is really playful and would do great with an owner or family who likes to be active. Come meet her today.

Be part of the solution, get out and vote

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor While we read and watch the political circus taking place in our country, we have an opportunity to get our nation’s future back on track.

The polls will open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. on Tuesday for the General Election.

We’ve always maintained that the most effective government is one in which the people are involved. Here is your chance to be heard.

Don’t complain about the situation of any aspect of how we are governed if you aren’t willing to take the time to cast your ballot.

You may not think so but you really do make a difference when you vote.

If you’re satisfied with the incumbents, then go

that route. If not, learn about the opponents and whether they better meet your expectations.

Voter registrars have had extended hours to help ensure that you can register for next week’s election or go ahead and vote by absentee ballot.

The election process is in place to benefit you and we encourage you to make the time to get to the polling place. Remember, the hours are 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Your vote serves as your voice. It can’t be said enough: Be part of the solution, get out and vote.

The future is in your hands. Your selections in the voting booth will impact our commonwealth.

Mark your calendar and go to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 7.

We can still help

Aid relief to the states and U.S. territories that were struck by hurricanes in recent weeks can still use our help. Whatever you can give will be most appreciated. If everyone donated $1, can you imagine how much that would help those victims?

The images in newspapers and across our TV screens are ingrained in our minds as we saw the devastation and struggles.

One of the greatest characteristics of being an American is our immediate “I’ll help” attitude.

Complete strangers saved lives during the rains and flooding.

Many organizations are still needing monetary assistance. I’ve given multiple times. Will you?

It’s never too early to plan for child’s education

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

As I recently walked through an overflow crowd at Homecoming, I couldn’t help but wonder if all those excited kids full of energy and enthusiasm were aware that choices made today could affect the rest of their lives.

A changing educational environment is providing a variety of choices for students in today’s schools, and

early career choices are becoming the norm rather than the exception.

One school official recently told me that it’s never too early to start when planning for your child’s future.

That philosophy stands in stark contrast to the way experts felt decades ago when my generation faced career choice dilemmas. The unimportance of making stress-filled decisions early in high school was the order of the day, and some students entered college with no idea where it

would lead. Many students selected general studies to match their inconclusive tendencies regarding future career choices.

I suppose it was a different era in a less competitive world where some waited well into their 30s to make lifelong career decisions, and others never discovered their true niche and made careers out of changing jobs and seeking new skills.

Covering the Hanover County Public Schools’ Educational Expo

at Lee-Davis High School, I noted elementary students who sat patiently with their parents listening to descriptions of specialty programs still years away for them. Many of them already have Plans A, B and C mapped out, and they are well informed and prepared to take full advantage of the expanded opportunities.

Resident: Fowler vote against fair elections A vote for Buddy Fowler is a vote against fair elections.

Buddy Fowler voted to continue partisan, political gerrymandering in committee.

So, some of our votes are now less equal than others.

Youngster shows kindness still does exist We hear of so many bad things that I thought the readers of The Local would enjoy my encounter with a very special little boy in the parking lot of a Mechanicsville business.

Several weeks ago, I went to the store in the morning for a few items.

On my way back to my car, I noticed a grandmother and a little boy, who was about 4 or 6 years old, putting items in their trunk.

After putting my purchases in my car, I was taking the cart to a safe area and as I approached their truck this precious little boy said to me, “May I help you with your cart?” My response was “Yes, you may.” He proceeded to help me and his grandmother was behind us.

After securing the cart, with grandmother’s help, I got my cane from the car and he said, “I will carry that for you.” I then explained why I needed my cane and he immediately took my hand and said, “I will walk you to your car. What color is it?”

He walked me to my car and opened my door.

I turned to his grandmother and asked if he was always so kind and see LETTERS, pg. 8 

I thanked him for his help.

He and his grandmother then left, but I sat in my car

Statues met with respect, not hate Regarding JM Thomas’ letter, “Statues symbolize fight to maintain slavery in South”: Thomas states the South came up with an effort after the Civil War to justify secession and the fight against the North. I took up the invitation to “look at original, historical documents . . .” and found these two quotes from Abraham Lincoln, both made after the first shots were fired: “I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.” Lincoln’s First Message to Congress, July 4, 1861 “My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without

freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.” Lincoln’s letter to Horace Greeley, Aug. 22, 1862 I agree that slavery was a contributing factor in the Civil War, mostly due to factions in the North that attempted to interfere with what was a legal institution in 1861. No legislative effort (Constitutional Amendment) had been taken to legally eliminate slavery before Lincoln delivered war on the South. One of Thomas’ “historical documents” is the 13th Amendment to the Constitution that wasn’t ratified until months after the South had capitulated and without any Southern votes.

The South had seceded from the Union and the North had disenfranchised the South by force of arms.

I also propose that the present movement to blame a war where the North was the aggressor on the South’s maintenance of the institution of slavery is a effort to 1) justify the horrendous destruction wrought upon the South by the invading Northern invaders, and 2) disguise the backlash to Reconstruction as “White Supremacy.

“These statues were erected in the late 1800s and early 1900s not to support Jim Crow policy but because there wasn’t enough money in the South before that time to fund their construction. It has been said that the South did not economically recover from the Civil War until after World War II. As a native of Hanover with ancestors that have been buried on our land since the French and Indian War, I am proud of my ancestors and appreciate the Confederate Statues with respect, not hate.

Berk Jones Mechanicsville

Reflections on Selma after ‘Race Wars’ I too had reflections of a time in the past and so grateful at how we had grown and learned to heal though the scars will always remain.

My reflection, however, was not Montgomery. I had lived in Selma a short time years later after what was called the “Race Wars.” My time there the town itself was more like a ghost town but you could still feel tensions being stirred.

That march that started in Selma, Alabama, crossing over that bridge, which was depicted decades later in a movie that kind of has disappeared too.

Back in those days, you did not see all the riots broadcast on TV nationwide. Pictures I did see and remember were just as real as what would happen in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Just like Selma riots really had nothing to do with the fine people of Selma. The riots were from all the people who were bused in from all over to join the march. Just like Charlottesville, they too became victims of people full of hate who did not even live in the state.

Fast forward: Look at the age of the different groups.

Where did they get all this anger? Freedom of Speech taken out of context does not give anyone the freedom to harm or take a life.

Yes, words can hurt. I was truly disgusted with Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Mayor Levar Stoney who now want to remove all the statues on Monument Avenue and all over Virginia -- that’s their solution.

I do know they all have different meanings and hurtful meanings for some that can never be erased. You can forgive but some things you can never forget. But, in all hon-

esty, and you have to be honest, how many people actually pay attention to the statues you pass by? Then, at one point driving through town, there are some people who have never seen them and, again, do you know the complete actual history not just slavery and half-truths that passed on through the years?

After being displayed for decades, now a whim, “Let’s remove them” plays right into the hands of these groups that express hate and harm. They really do not care about the statue, just that they won and how dumb are we to allow them to do this.

So, shame on you, McAuliffe and Stoney. If that’s your plan, then the Arthur Ashe and new Maggie Walker statues need to be moved out and in a museum as well.

They have this thing called “Prayer for Serenity”: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference, living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardships as a pathway to peace. Life is too short, stop to embrace a better new outlook.

Returning to discussion on monuments In 1997, I returned to the East Coast after being away for 30 years. At the time I left the area, I used to shop at Montaldo’s for my suits. My mother, grandmother and brother lived in Richmond.

This was a beautiful place to live.

When I returned to the area, the closest I could find employment in my field was in Washington, D.C. When I left the area, my see LETTERS, pg. 9 

LETTERS Continued from pg. 8 

mother and I used to walk down F Street in D.C. to go to Woodward & Lothrop “Woodies” to shop and to lunch in their dining room. F Street was lined with one specialty shop after another and all were delightful.

When I returned in 1997, F Street was boarded up and covered with graffiti. Montaldo’s and Woodies were closed. I was told by my supervisor at work I could not stay to work overtime since all white people had to be out of the city by sundown. It was not safe to be there after dark.

In discussing the changes with some black co-workers, I was told they had plans to take down the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial since Washington and Jefferson were slave owners. At the time, I did not believe that was possible.

Since then, I used to believe the only ultimate interest in

removing the Confederate statues was leading up to removing the Jefferson Memorial and the Washington Monument.

Washington statues are already being removed in some cities.

Now I believe the final goal is to eliminate the Constitution by undermining the writers and establishing it is outdated even with amendments.

There was an attempt to elect specific candidates by having a large influx of new residents in those Congressional districts to sway the vote and elect candidates who would vote their way when the time came to abolish the Constitution. This was prevented by the statecontrolled legislatures redrawing the boundaries of these Congressional districts. In the liberal-loaded courts, they are declaring these tactics to change the boundaries unlawful.

Now there is a movement to use the monuments, slavery and race to accomplish those aims. I believe there will be

a strong push to change the Electoral College vote to a popular vote of the majority preferably electronically so there could be no recounts with a paper trail.

In addition to the blacks who feel disenfranchised, I have noted most of the news commentators are immigrants or first generation from immigrants, as are elected and appointed officials.

It appears descendant families of the founders of our country are not interested in running for office. The frame of reference of those who do relates to their families’ experiences in other countries. They have no interest or loyalty or understanding of the origin of our country. To them, America is what has happened since their arrival.

The blacks don’t understand the whites’ dislike of blacks since most have not experienced a life where there was no crime, homes and cars left unlocked, no STDs or lice, no drugs, and safety

on the streets. They have only experienced these conditions and thus do not see anything unusual about it.

As has happened with the white community now, it is just the “way life is.” So they do not see anything wrong with electing candidates with a criminal background since their families and community are involved with all of it as a way of life.

My father was a military intelligence officer and he told me that Russia was our friend, that China would start World War III. It is a known Chinese tactic in times of war to use

drugs when they were invaded. When defeated, they would put the victors in a large palatial complex walled for “the safety of the victors” and ply them with sex and drugs. Soon the victors were so druggedout they just lay around in a stupor. The Chinese then went on with life as usual outside of the walled compound as they did before they were invaded. Is this what is happening in America? Are we being drugged into complacency?

It appears our country’s experiment in government as envisioned by our founders has failed. I believe our grand-

children may not live much than longer me. I am 81. If our country changes as much in the next 50 years as it has in the last 50 years, we will be another Third World country.

By the way: There are statues of Lenin in the following places in the United States. I have not heard a peep about them. l Las Vegas – outside Red Square Restaurant, Mandalay Bay Hotel – Headless. l Atlantic City, New Jersey – in the Tropicana Casino. l New York City – on top

In this scene, mother and daughter are having a conversation about what makes one a pretty person.

Emily is showing interest in boys, but her mother is more interested in getting her help stringing the green beans. The scene shows the closeness and importance of a parent in a child’s life. “Our Town” will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 9-11, at Fairmount Christian Church.

beyond that, nominate candidates that are somewhat in line with the district. That means they should, gasp, nominate a conservative Democrat (if one exists any more) in order to win a conservative district.

However, Democrats feel like nobody can be too far left in any district because they believe everybody hates Trump equally everywhere.

In the 97th District, Trump carried it with 68% of the vote last year. In the 55th, Trump won a healthy 58%.

Morgan Goodman in the 55th and Cori Johnson in the 97th are both well left of both districts. Their policies (favoring single-payer [complete government control of] health care) are similar to that of Bernie Sanders go over like a lead balloon, based on what I’ve been told at the doors.

Delegates Peace and Fowler go to the Capitol and vote their districts. At home, they are at our events whether an election is coming up or not.

Even when Peace was unopposed, he knocked on doors as if he were opposed to let voters know what he was doing for them.

With a hard-left agenda that could win in the cities, our opponents clash with the 55th and 97th districts like sequins with ... anything!

Men also need to check for breast cancer October Breast Cancer Awareness Month has, once again, emphasized the importance of mammograms . . . for women.

The existence of male breast cancer is usually never mentioned.

Granted, the occurrence is miniscule compared to the female variety, but, unless the guys get used to giving themselves a breast exam, the disease can be equally fatal if ignored.

It’s never too late to add this information to a future edition of The Mechanicsville Local.

Article on opioid abuse enlightening I am writing to let you know what a great article you wrote: Sheriff frustrated by growing opioid problem in county on Oct. 18, 2017.

It was well written, factual and enlightening. I agree, we are just on the tip of the iceberg on this opioid epidemic.

Thank you for such good reporting on a very relevant problem.

I also will send Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County, a letter for addressing this issue with such good information.

EDUCATION

(Advanced Placement) continue to thrive, but the gap between the average student and the availability to access specialty programs has shrunk with the expanded opportunities. Complaints that accused some systems of catering to above average or gifted programs are no longer valid in most systems, and today’s educational choices and specialty programs are designed to better educate all students, not just the exceptional ones.

Partnerships with local community colleges are enhancing the ability of students to graduate high school with skills and certificates that make them immediately employable with a decent living wage. It doesn’t mean they will stop there, but offers a gateway to rewarding careers where their experience and skills offer a sort of job stability often lacking in other career choices.

A changing market means most graduates will work for many companies in various positions over the course of a career, and the old idea of a company man working for the same firm for a lifetime are rare.

Since most of us are acquainted with the responsibility levels of our elementary and middle school students, it’s more important for parents to educate themselves regarding important choices facing their students at early ages.

As parents exited the recent expo, I heard many lament

that they wish they had known about these programs earlier since many begin in ninth grade. Many seemed unaware of the varied and expanded choices for today’s students. As one educator said, “It’s not your grandfather’s school system.�

No, it’s not and our schools are changing for the better with a new set of students, choices and demands, and programs are now available that allow children to pursue career goals at an early age.

And, this is not one of those new fangled ideas that make people like me yearn for the old days when most people received the same standard degree. The sooner a young adult accommodates interests that lead to career choices the better. That’s not to say there’s no room for the late bloomers or less conventional students who choose to experience more real world activity before deciding on a career.

But, the changing environment with all those choices can only benefit the majority of our students as they prepare for 21st century jobs that require advanced and specific training.

For parents, it’s a good time to acquaint ourselves with what is available and when those programs begin.

Even with the changing educational environment and classrooms of the future, it’s good to know that some things stay the same.

The early bird still gets the worm!

Meaker to be available Nov. 11 to sign latest book at Books, Beads & More MECHANICSVILLE – JoAnn Meaker will appear from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 11, at Books, Beads & More at 8324 Bell Creek Rd. in Mechanicsville to sign her newest release, “Stories Beneath the Stones: Richmond National Cemetery.”

Beyond the cemetery gates are row upon row of identical

headstones – each featuring the name and regiment of a soldier.

As you pause before one and read the name, have you ever wondered about the soldier who gave his life for our country?

After years of extensive research, Meaker compiled stories of over 860 Civil War soldiers who were interred in the Richmond National Cemetery

when it opened 150 years ago.

What happened to two soldiers from Iowa that will forever join their stories together?

How did Henry Menard come to his tragic end?

Meaker also is the author of “Images of America, Ontario,” an Arcadia Publications book written to commemorate the bicentennial of the town

of Ontario, New York. Two historical mysteries followed, “My Dear Emma” and “Four Branches,” which are both partially set during the Civil War era. “A Line of Shorts,” a book of short stories, and children’s fantasy story, “Nola’s Gift,” completes the list of books she’s written, but she’s also published a series of his-

toric newspaper articles and her work has appeared in several anthologies.

A retired teacher, she and her husband Norm moved to the Richmond area from Ontario, in western New York State, where she volunteered for many years for the town’s Historical Society, was the organization’s presi-

dent and archivist, and served as organizer of Civil War reenactments at the Societyowned museum. Since relocating to Richmond, Meaker has been very active in the Hanover County Rotary Club, is the current president of the Hanover Writers Club and is on the board of the Virginia Writers Club.

Local travels to China

Submitted photo

Dan And Cass Douglas toured China for 16 days.

They are shown visiting the Great Wall in Beijing and the terra cotta soldiers in Xian. They flew into Beijing and were there for three days, where they saw the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Dan and Cass flew to Xian for two days and saw the terra cotta soldiers as well as a few other sites. Then they flew to Chonqing and boarded the Viking Emerald river boat to cruise the Yangtze River for six days. One of the features was a Sampan boat ride on a tributary of the Yangtze River to see the three gorges. They said, “This was the most picturesque part of China.

After our journey on the river we flew to Shainghi; visited this huge city for two days then our trip home. China is an amazing place. We loved our visit there.� Joining them on their trip was a copy of The Mechanicsville Local.

Continued from pg. 1 ď‚€

regulation amendments that increased available sites for possible development.

Large corporations are looking for Tier 5 properties, or sites that are shovel-ready and take less time to construct and open.

Thomas also indicated that tourism and agribusiness are two areas of focus for the upcoming months.

Wayne Hazzard, South Anna District supervisor, said the agribusiness emphasis is well needed in Hanover if the county hopes to maintain its rural nature. “If we don’t find a way to expand those businesses, I’m afraid we’ll find many of our farms turned into housing developments,� he said. “We are here to support them,� Thomas replied.

In other matters, one developer’s reputation preceded him

and may have sealed the deal in a rezoning application that gained board approval by a 5-1 vote.

Larry Shaia gained approval to build five apartment buildings with 206 units behind the Food Lion on Mechanicsville Turnpike near Brandywine Road.

Supervisors referenced Shaia’s previous Hanover apartment project that -- since its completion --has set the standard for quality in multiunit housing.

Charleston Ridge, the first apartment complex constructed in the county in close to two decades, began accepting residents last December, and, seven months later, the entire complex was fully rented.

The local developer envisioned the same type of project for Cambridge Square complete with walking trails, playground, dog park and connectivity to local businesses.

The project is located in Canova Peterson’s Mechanicsville District, and he said that boost to a local adjacent shopping area is only one see ECONOMIC, pg. 26 ď ˝

“I know there is opposition to any new development,” Peterson said. “What I’m seeing here is a level of quality that we need in the Mechanicsville area.”

He pointed to several factors that allowed the development to obtain his support.

“I considered the fact that we are building the infrastructure with this, and the fact that we have a family who has established a reputation for quality development within our community and have a track record of maintaining those properties ….”

But the real appeal of the project seemed to lie in the commitment of the developer to plan and develop quality projects with a sense of community in mind.

“What we’re doing is creating a community” Shaia said.

“The more you see your neighbor, the more you interact with your neighbor, the more you care about your neighbor, the more sense of community you create.”

Peterson acknowledged the need for infrastructure improvements but noted a long-planned road will be built by the developer.

Chambers, Anthony stop C-fed upset bid

By Arthur Utley For the Times-Dispatch HENRICO – Although the Henrico and Lee-Davis football teams already have secured berths in the Class 5, Region B playoffs, their meeting at Henrico had some meaning.

Henrico, ranked No. 7 in The Times-Dispatch Top 10, defeated the unranked Confederates 27-20 on Friday night. It was the Warriors’ fourth victory in a row and gave them a firm grip on the No. 3 playoff position behind Hermitage and Highland Springs. The Warriors (7-2) conclude the regular season next week at home against Armstrong.

The Confederates (6-3) are likely to stay in the No. 6 spot leading into next week’s home Tomato Bowl matchup with Patrick Henry.

The Warriors guaranteed themselves a home playoff game behind the passing of Theo Chambers and four interceptions, including three in the red zone, by Daijahn Anthony.

Chambers threw for 229 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for what proved to be the clinching touchdown with 5:11 left in the game.

Anthony’s first interception off Lee-Davis quarterback Zach Lass thwarted the Confederates’ opening drive – a touchdown was called back because of holding the play before – and

“This is our first time getting

a home playoff game in like 18 years. I guess that’s something to be happy about, but we’re just glad about the win; going 1-0 once again,” Chambers said.

Lee-Davis tied the score 7-7 times for 162 yards.

MECHANICSVILLE – An Atlee football player with cerebral palsy got the opportunity of a lifetime Friday night when he scored an 80-yard touchdown in Atlee’s game against Varina.

Sepp Shirey was born with cerebral palsy, but is a dedicated member of the Atlee football team.

Cerebral palsy limits his ability to walk, and Sepp often uses crutches to help.

On Friday night, coach Matt Gray put Sepp in the game. It wasn’t Sepp’s first appearance. He had played a few snaps earlier this year against Armstrong, and a few last year. Gray had asked that defenders simsee SHIREY, pg. 29

Hanover surges to victory over Armstrong

By Mike Schoeffel For the Mechanicsville Local RICHMOND – Watch a Hanover football game for more than a few minutes and one thing becomes apparent: Hawks quarterback Eric Rankin is one heck of a hard runner.

That sense of toughness is something that’s been passed down in his bloodline. One of his biggest role models is his father, a long-time boxer.

“He was a very physical guy,” said Rankin. “I learned from him. He taught me how to be tough.”

Rankin’s hard-running style paid dividends against Armstrong last Friday night.

Hanover (2-7) rolled to a 56-18 victory behind five rushing touchdowns from Rankin, spoiling Armstrong’s homecoming and snapping a fivegame losing streak that dated back over a month.

Hanover’s only previous win of the season came against Mills Godwin on Sept. 15.

Rankin said his team was itching to return to the win column throughout the lows of the losing skid, which included four defeats of 32 points or more.

“We needed to get back,” he said. “This win is just what we needed.”

So what was the best part

about Rankin’s performance?

According to Hanover head coach Derek Stoudt, it’s the fact that he’ll have Rankin calling the shots and running roughshod over opposing defenses for the next three-plus years.

That’s because the babyfaced Rankin is a 6-foot 3-inch, 220-pound freshman.

“That’s a great feeling,” said Stoudt. “It’s good knowing we have somebody back there that’s not afraid to lower his head and get those tough yards.

We just let him go out there and do his thing.”

Rankin, too, being of the 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust runner variety, has learned a

lesson or two about the nuances of hard-running in his first full varsity season.

“Stay low,” he said. “If you go high, you’ll get your clock cleaned. And you don’t want that.”

The game was relatively close through the third quarter.

Hanover entered the final frame

leading just 27-12. That’s when Rankin went off, scoring on a 10-yard run, a 1-yard run, and dramatic 49-yard dash to bury Armstrong (2-7) under a 49-18 score.

Rankin’s fine night on the ground was made possible by a solid performance from an equally-young offensive front.

that we had to be patient; just not rush it and make sure we were aligned straight and make sure I took every read and took advantage of every read. That’s how we drove it down the field,” he said.

The big play of the drive was a fake punt on fourthand-5 at the Henrico 44. Jaelen Atkins picked up 6 yards for the first down. Henrico covered the final 50 yards in five plays.

A spin move from Chambers gave him an open path to the end zone for the game-winning score.

Anthony’s fourth interception with 1:37 left in the game sealed the victory.

“I was playing man coverage inside the whole game. I was trying to give them all I’ve got and make sure he stayed on the outside of me instead of getting inside,” said Anthony, who

“We grew up on the offensive line tonight,” Stoudt said.

“You always get some unorthodox stuff when you play Armstrong, they’re all over the place, but I think our line handled it well and gave Eric a lot of room to work.”

With the game well-in-hand, Rankin retired to the sideline and watched his backup, sophomore Cooper McClanahan, round out the scoring with a 32-yard touchdown pass to Eric McLemore Jr. Armstrong’s sophomore quarterback Jacqueal Thomas finished the night with two touchdowns, scoring on an 8-yard run in the second and a 1-yard run in the third.

Up next for Hanover is its season finale: a home game against cross-town rival Atlee (2-7). The two schools are separated by just a 4-mile stretch of U.S.-301. The importance of the contest was apparent in the mantra the Hawks broke down on after defeating Armstrong: “Beat Atlee.”

“We have a young team, so it was nice to get some momentum heading into a big game next week,” said Stoudt. “We can only do what we do every week, which is try to get better.

But this week will be a little different because it’s Atlee.”

spotted a tell by the receiver.

Blue Devils dominate despite Atlee challenge

By Daniel Fritz For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – It was a long night for the Atlee Raider faithful, who said goodbye to their senior class in the final home game of the season.

But the upset-minded Raiders were no match for a dominant Varina team, falling by a score of 63-21.

Varina amassed 532 total yards of offense, spreading the ball around to a multitude of play makers. Running backs Stephen Richardson and R.J. Coles combined for 136 yards on the ground. Meanwhile, quarterback Brion Logan connected with his big-bodied receiving target Samond Pinchback five times for 71 yards, including one score.

“They have a lot of speed” said Atlee head coach Matt Gray of the Varina offense. “Along with that they are well coached, which makes them difficult to stop.”

After forcing Atlee into a quick three-and-out, Richardson jumpstarted the Blue Devils’ offense with a 55-yard run on their first play.

After a pair of Coles handoffs were stuffed by the Raider defense, Logan threw a quick outside pass to Richardson, who scampered in for a score giving Varina an early 6-0 lead.

A few minutes later, Logan found his favorite target – Pinchback – for a 26-yard touchdown reception. The

This time, Sepp’s father, Hunter, was on the sideline, and he told Gray, no, let them tackle

6-foot 4-inch receiver managed to escape behind the Atlee defense, making it an easy throw for his quarterback.

Although the contest seemed to be a mostly one-sided affair, the resilient Raiders squad had some impressive moments of their own. Perhaps the biggest play of the night came from senior Raymond Luckey.

Down 21-0 at this point in the game the Raiders were desperate for a spark. Luckey

provided just that. He retreated nearly to his own goal line to field a Varina kickoff, and then took off towards the Atlee sideline. He was met by a host of Varina tacklers, but did not give up. With his knee nearly down, Luckey managed to escape the pile and sprung forward going all the way to the Varina 15-yard line before being brought down.

Luckey’s 85-yard kickoff return set up the Raiders’ offense in excellent field posi-

tion. Quarterback Tyler Warren hit receiver Andrew Donaldson over the middle, putting the Raiders at the doorstep of the end zone.

On third down, Warren looked to pass to his right.

When that option was not there, he scrambled back to his left avoiding several Blue Devil defenders in the process. He scampered across the goal line for the Raiders’ first points of the night, reducing the deficit to

21-7 early in the second quarter.

On their first possession of the second half, Atlee was once again able to cut the Blue Devil lead to two scores. Warren found receiver William Engel for a 28-yard completion setting up the Raiders inside the red zone.

A few plays later, Warren connected with senior John Johnson for a touchdown.

From that time on, the Varina offense went on a tear.

They scored 36 unanswered points, including an impressive diving catch by Auston Howey in the back of the end zone late in third quarter.

With the game long since decided, and both sides playing with their second string, there was still one more special moment to be had in the final minutes.

Atlee senior running back Sepp Shirey, who has cerebral palsy, entered the game for the first time, receiving a huge roar from the home crowd. Shirey took the handoff from his quarterback, and fellow senior T.C. Nance. He then went 79-yards for the game’s final touchdown.

Heading into the final week of the season, coach Gray believes there is still room for one more opportunity for his senior’s on the field.

“We’ve had a lot of growth in a lot of places this year” Gray said. “This last week we have got to give it our best effort and get one last memory.”

Daniel Fritz can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Sepp. Gray alerted the referees that Sepp was taking the field, and they relayed it to Varina coach Stu Brown.

Gray called for a handoff to Sepp up the middle. But Varina’s defenders opted not to tackle him. Instead, they cheered him on as Sepp ran, with a ball in his hands instead

of crutches, 80 yards down the field. They motivated him and ran with him toward the end zone. Sepp crashed into the end zone, falling into the arms of a teammate.

“I had no expectations,” Gray said. “This kid carried the ball for a touchdown.”

Gray credited Brown and

the Varina players for making Atlee’s senior night special for Sepp.

“We learned more from him than what anyone thought we gave him,” Brown, Varina’s coach, said. “The definition of physical and mental toughness is Sepp marching 80 yards.

“It’s the toughest 80-yard

run I’ve ever witnessed. I’ll tell you that.”

Football has been a part of Sepp’s life for awhile. He attended a camp with Gray when Gray was an assistant at RandolphMacon. When Gray was hired at Atlee last year, Sepp was on the team. Those who know him say Sepp shatters any expecta-

tion you might have about what a kid with cerebral palsy can do.

On the football team, Sepp is like “a coach in a helmet,” Gray said. He’s smart and attentive, always giving advice to his teammates.

“It was pretty awesome,” Gray said. “It just kind of worked out.”

Fourth-quarter burst gets Springers past PH

Henry possession. On their ensuing possession, Highland Springs marched down the field and scored.

The Springers would force another Patriot three-and-out after the kickoff, and it looked like the rout was on.

But Patriot wide receiver Noah Taylor had other ideas.

Early in the second quarter,

Taylor came across the middle of the field and snagged a bullet from Hart. Taylor laid out to make the catch, and took the full force of three Springer defenders hitting him simultaneously. Somehow he managed to hold on to the ball, got to his feet, and pumped his fists. It was a welcome sight to the PH coaching staff.

“We have known for a while what kind of potential Noah has, and we’ve been staying on him,” Braxton said, “Tonight he produced. He is extremely talented and I think everybody saw that tonight.”

Taylor ended the night with four catches for 122 yards and a touchdown.

Taylor’s big catch seemed

to energize the Patrick Henry players and fans. Running back Terrance Oxendine ended the first half with a 6-yard catch from Sikkar, and the teams went into the locker room with the Springers holding on to a 7 point lead.

The Patriots carried the momentum from the end of the first half into the second,

as the defense held strong and kept the Springers out of the end zone.

On the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, Highland Springs quarterback D’Vonte Waller dropped back and ripped a pass across the middle, but Hart – in his role as defensive back – made a beautiful play on the ball, pulling it down for the interception.

Unfortunately for the Patrick Henry faithful, however, the Patriot offense sputtered. They managed only 8 yards on the offensive possession, including a 6-yard gain on fourth down from the Highland Springs 21-yard line.

In the fourth quarter, the Springers found new life and took over the game, scoring touchdowns on three consecutive possessions in the fourth quarter to pull away.

“We executed well in the first half,” said Braxton. “In the second half, it got away from us a little bit, but the biggest thing is that we continued to fight.

That’s who we are.

“If we don’t do those things, then we don’t have a chance.

These are my guys and I’m proud as anything to be their coach. They gave me everything they had, which is all you can ask for. We’ll come back again next week to do the exact same thing.”

Andrew Spencer can be reached at sports@mechlocal. com.

“We are turning that corner that all coaches talk about … rebuilding a program or bringing it back from wherever it was. They are being warriors, and I appreciate our young men responding well and playing through some adverse situations like I said. Our coaches are doing a great job of preparing

them to be in the right spots.”

Turnage said the Confederates picked up some confidence against the Warriors, who, if the current seedings hold, will play host to Lee-Davis in the first round of the playoffs.

“I thought we had a chance to win the game. I thought we

outplayed them in the second half. We made a lot of improvements from the previous week (a blowout loss to Varina).

That’s what we set out to do,” Turnage said. “We thought if we executed some things right that we could play with Henrico.

We made a few mistakes here and there that kind of led up

to them coming out on top in the end.”

A victory this Friday night against Patrick Henry will mean Lee-Davis has swept the other three Hanover teams for three years in a row.

“We want to win our last game. I think there is a big difference from going 6-4 and

7-3…[Patrick Henry] is a good football team so we’re going to have to play well. You want to go into the playoffs with a little momentum coming off a win,” Turnage added. “If we stay ahead of the chains, we can play with anybody.”

Arthur Utley can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

By Andrew Spencer for the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – The Patrick Henry student section was decked out in its Halloween finest, but the Patriots couldn’t pull out enough tricks to overcome the powerful Highland Springs attack.

After holding their own against the Springers – ranked No. 3 in the Times-Dispatch poll – for three quarters, they gave up 21 points to Highland Springs in the fourth quarter and fell 42-20.

“They gave everything they had tonight,” Patrick Henry head coach Keith Braxton said of his team. “Today, unfortunately, everything they had just wasn’t enough.”

The Patriots certainly brought plenty of effort to Friday night’s game, but one they thing they ran out of was quarterbacks. The punishing Springer defensive front put both quarterbacks Hunter Hart and Alex Sikkar on the sidelines with injuries, forcing wide receiver Jamel Jackson to finish out the game as the Patriots’ signal caller.

Hart and Sikkar are expected to be back in action for the Patriots’ game against LeeDavis Friday in the annual Tomato Bowl.

Highland Springs played like a top-10 team in the first half.

The Springers forced a threeand-out on the first Patrick

Patrick Henry tailback Terrance Oxendine is brought down by Highland Springs’ Malcom Greene. Oxendine scored a touchdown with 12 seconds left in the first half Friday night. That score brought the Patriots to within 21-14 of the Springers.

Domemech, Rudolf share Girls Open title

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MIDLOTHIAN – Mills Godwin’s Diana Domenech began the second round of the VHSL Girls Open Tuesday with a one-stroke lead over Granby’s Rebecca DiNunzio, but Domenech should have more closely watched First Colonial’s Carley Rudolf.

Rudolf birdied four of the holes on the back nine at Independence Golf Club while Domenech bogeyed four of the back nine as the two headed back to the clubhouse. They swapped the lead several times: Rudolf jumped ahead on 16.

Domenech reclaimed the lead on 17. Both finished tied after 18. They could have accepted being co-champions right then.

But, despite the fading light as the sun dipped below the horizon, they opted for a sudden-death playoff on No. 18.

Both hit solid tee shots, landing squarely in the fairway just a couple of paces from each other. Domenech’s second shot went slightly wide of the green, Rudolf ’s went to the back fringe of the green. Domenech’s chip shot stopped a few feet short, as did Rudolf ’s first putt.

Domenech two-putted for a bogey. Rudolf lipped what would have been a par putt for the win and likewise settled for

Rudolf had her moments of greatness Monday as well, acing the 14th hole. Tuesday, she was rather calm as she made the turn on the back nine, partially because it was her favorite section of the course, partially because she had no idea where she stood, even after finishing the 18th hole at the end of regulation.

“I thought [Domenech] won,” Rudolf said. “So I was like, ‘Playoff?’ … I had no idea.”

Atlee advances in field hockey tourney

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MIDLOTHIAN – Atlee needed extra time, but once the Raiders got it, they wasted little of it in earning the right to advance to the Region 5B field hockey semifinals.

Yellow Jackets fail to hold lead against Generals

By Mike Schoeffel For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – RandolphMacon had its homecoming game against Old Dominion Athletic Conference rival Washington & Lee wrapped up and in the bag.

Until it didn’t.

Washington & Lee (6-2, 3-1 ODAC) running back Josh Breece scored on a 1-yard run with 38 seconds left to give the visiting Generals a 17-14 comeback victory in a game between two teams that entered the afternoon tied for first in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference.

It was sweet redemption for Breece, who was stuffed on a fourth-and-2 inside the Randolph-Macon 10-yard line with 3:51 to play.

Washington & Lee’s gamewinning drive started on the Yellow Jackets’ 39-yard line after Max Garrett snagged an interception with 2:51 to go.

“The hurry-up offense isn’t all that different from our regular offense,” said Washington & Lee head coach Scott Abell. “I thought we had a good chance with our outside option game.

We had plenty of time to do exactly what we wanted to do, it was just a matter of executing.”

Breece’s game-winner was the exclamation point to a fine

While the Raiders had not played Matoaca this season, Farling had some intelligence to help them with a game plan.

“We have some players that play with their players on

afternoon: He finished with two touchdowns and a game-high 199 yards on the ground. The Generals out-rushed RandolphMacon (5-3, 2-2) to the tune of 392 yards to 171, and – perhaps most impressively – held the Yellow Jackets’ offense, which had scored 167 points in its three previous contests, to just two touchdowns.

Panthers, so I knew a lot about their goalie, which was helpful – because she’s good,” Farling said. “She’s really good, and she plays on the ground well. We talked about it – you’ve got to get around her.”

Atlee advanced to Deep Run for the regional semifinals. The game took place Monday after this edition went to press.

The Confederates put up a right all night against the Eagles, but the defense – despite many

“It’s disappointing. They put up a great fight. The girls never quit, and that’s what we wanted them to do,” said LeeDavis head coach Merridee Gibson. “I’m proud of the way they played. They held on to the very end and they were in it the whole game. I’m happy with that.”

by quarterback Burke Estes and running back Tre Frederick.

The Generals defense notched a number of big plays over the final two quarters, including two key fourth-down stops and Garrett’s interception.

“The second half they pretty much stumped us,” said

Randolph-Macon head coach Pedro Arruza. “I thought they kicked our butts. We’ll leave it at that.”

She said the weather contributed to her adding a couple of strokes to her score on the second day.

With the win, Washington & Lee now leads the all-time series 32-31-3.

The Yellow Jacket faithful watched their team go up 7-0 midway through the first quarter on a 3-yard run by Frederick, who finished with 139 yards on the ground. A Jarrett Wright field goal and a 56-yard run by Breece put Washington & Lee up 9-7. But a 50-yard touchdown pass from Estes to Sam Tanner (two receptions, 70 yards) gave Randolph-Macon a 14-9 advantage heading into the locker room.

Unfortunately for Arruza and the 3,000-plus Yellow Jacket fans in attendance, that lead wouldn’t hold. In his office the game, Aruzza, who was bleeding from a small cut on the back of his head, summoned a message of optimism for his team heading into the final two weeks of the season.

“We have to keep getting better,” he said. “We have to keep fighting.”

Randolph-Macon heads to Guilford (4-4, 2-2) next Saturday. Washington & Lee hosts Bridgewater (4-4, 1-4).

Strong Towns looks to return financial security Program’s founder and president shares organization’s vision with Hanover County in address at R-MC

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- A message for strong towns in Virginia was the focus of a Tuesday, Oct. 24, speaker event held in RandolphMacon College’s Copley Science Center in Ashland.

Students and members of the Hanover County community listened to Chuck Marohn, who was hosted by the Partnership for Smarter Growth (PSG), Coalition for Hanover’s Future and the Virginia Conservation Network.

Marohn, founder and president of “Strong Towns,” a nonprofit media organization leading a nationwide movement for change, delivered his message to Hanover County citizens and R-MC students about the costs of current patterns of growth, existing public finance and debt as well as how bottom-up incremental change can be beneficial when focused on our cities’ and towns’ efficiencies and qualities that have been around since the beginning of human civilization.

Why are so many cities and towns across our continent going broke? This is the question which Strong Towns’ mission strives to answer.

In response, its mission states, “Our roads are deteriorating. Our governments are in debt. No matter how much we increase them, our taxes aren’t enough to fix it all. And no one seems to be able to agree on how we got here – much less how to change the course. This isn’t just about numbers on a budget. This is about the fate of the communities we love most, and the real people that live there.”

The statement continues to say that its “mission is to help cities, towns and neighborhoods become financially

38

strong and resilient. And we’ve thought long and hard about the best way to do that. We firmly believe the most enduring changes are incremental and data-responsive, and can only happen from the bottomup through the work of citizens like you.”

Strong Towns was original-

CHUCK MAROHN

ly based on a blog who Marohn, who is from Minnesota, dedicated three days every week to writing during the 2008 election season.

“We had banks failing, gas prices over $4 per gallon, people faulting on homes, markets crashing, a trillion-dollar bailout at Wall Street. We had all of these things happening and I remember feeling just frustrated.”

“Because the conversation going on didn’t seem to reflect the reality as I saw it, and I really thought, ‘Either the world was crazy, or I am crazy’ – and I’m open to either possibility,” Marohn told the crowd.

He said the way he chose to resolve these problems came to him after the election that year

The Mechanicsville Local

November 1, 2017

in 2008.

“Which, if you remember, seemed very contentious and tumultuous, and very crazy – it seemed very quaint now looking back.”

It was then that Marohn sat down and began writing.

“Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the next year I started to write what became the Small Towns Blog,” he said.

After a year, a couple of friends came to him who noticed the importance behind the content he was producing and encouraged him to start a nonprofit organization.

“I thought, ‘That’s crazy I’m never doing that …’ A year later we actually had a 501(c) (3),” Marohn said.

He turned back to the mission statement’s question, asking, “Why are cities in North America going broke?”

In 2008, he said he struggled with, despite everything our society is doing to be successful – such as create growth and jobs – and despite all the advice and experts, the grants, subsidies and job programs, “Why do we still struggle to do basic things? Why can’t we keep the grass in the park up?

Why can’t we keep the library open past 4:30 p.m.? Why can’t we keep the street lights on overnight?” he asked.

He turned to an example using ancient cities like Rome, and emphasized how those cities were constructed for people who walked everywhere.

“Now we build cities for people who drive; someday we’ll build cities for people with jet cars … someday we’ll build cities that look completely different than they do now.

So, you’ve got this continuum of things always getting better.”

By the time these ancient cities were built, he said

Logan Barry for The Local

Chuck Marohn, standing, addressed Stronger Towns last week at Randolph-Macon College. He was hosted by the Partnership for Smarter Growth (PSG), Coalition for Hanover’s Future and the Virginia Conservation Network.

humans had been experimenting on how to build places for thousands of years.

“By the time we get to ancient Rome, humans had an approach to building places that had been honed and refined over thousands and thousands of years through trial and error experimentation,” Marohn continued.

He explained how humans copied and expanded upon civilizations that were successful, and how the ones that weren’t failed and died out.

“Their ideas weren’t copied and transmitted to the next generation.”

Marohn talked about today’s financial implications that stem from throwing away thousands of years of knowledge and wisdom to shift into a new way of doing things.

He said the problems we

experience today don’t result from a failing on the left, a failing on the right or a failing in our political process, but from a human flaw that we all share.

“Psychologists call this temporal discounting – we are wired as humans because of the way we were constructed thousands of years ago to highly value pleasurable feedback today, and to deeply discount if not to ignore painful feedback in the future. That is how we are wired,” he explained.

He then asked what happened to the society thousands of years ago that built a civilization around the exploitation of this human flaw.

“They went away, they died out – their ideas about achievement weren’t transmitted to the next generation.”

Marohn is a professional engineer who is licensed in

the state of Minnesota and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners.

He’s authored two books, “Thoughts on Building Strong Towns” and “A World Class Transportation System,” hosts the Strong Towns Podcast, and is the primary contributor to Strong Towns’ written content.

More information can be found at www.strongtowns.org.

With assistance from the Virginia Conservation Network, PSG and Coalition for Hanover’s Future hosted the event to communicate a movement to save the commonwealth’s counties, cities and towns that the organizations say are facing increased strain from the aging infrastructure, traffic, costs of services and other impacts resulting from years of spread-out, rapid and inefficient growth patterns.
