PCES honored as National PTA School of Excellence MECHANICSVILLE – Pearson’s Corner Elementary School has been named a 20172019 National PTA School of Excellence.

PCES is one of only 143 schools and PTAs from 29 states across the country to achieve this prestigious status this year.

by Dawn Armstrong, PCES principal, during their annual fall festival. Several special guests also were in attendance.

“We are very grateful for the strong support of and partnership with our PTA that yielded this prestigious recognition. Our PTA President, Ashley Owen, and her team of volunteers work tirelessly to provide our students, staff, and families with unique experiences and celebrations throughout the year to help ensure our ‘Paw Power’ remains strong.

I am honored to partner with so many dedicated parents, teachers, and staff who maintain focus on the main thing — our students,” said Armstrong.

OPINION

| The Local Views From the managing editor

We may not agree, but free speech reigns

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Criticism comes with any employment and, while it’s not always easy to accept, we gradually learn to better understand why some readers take a stance with which we may not agree. But, as I’ve maintained in more than four decades in newspapers, freedom of speech is at the heart of what we do.

I first became managing editor when I was 29 and, looking back, I was naive in so many ways.

But, of course, at that age, you think you know it all. Wrong.

The path along the way has provided eyeopening experiences and a more thorough understanding of how some think and offer opinions.

Do I always agree with what we publish?

No, but, I am a strong advocate for the First Amendment. Freedom of speech is a bedrock of our society, and an aspect that many nations do not offer their citizens.

Our policy states that we have the right to edit and to reject letters. We are extremely mindful of how our readers want to convey their opinions.

Again, their opinions. We, nor I, agree with all that we publish.

That First Amendment right is ingrained in us at an early age, and, while I may find some comments reprehensible, I stand behind our responsibility to those who offer opinions 360 degrees different than mine.

Our forum enables readers to express concerns about what’s taking place in government on the world, nation, state and local levels, as well as

issues that merit praise and support.

Late last week I received a call from a woman seeking information about placing something in The Mechanicsville Local. Before ending the conversation, she said she enjoyed The Local and this column because we share the “feel good” stories along with the news our readers need to know about their county.

Do we only print the “fluff stuff?” No, but we know what our readers want and it’s always our goal to meet that expectation.

Your input and feedback are always welcome, and, while we don’t always agree, your opinion is just that -- and we will share it because of the First Amendment.

We believe that free speech is paramount in the world of “real news.”

Veterans Day: Pat Tillman’s story never gets old

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

I suppose everyone has that personal list of heroes, or people who have impacted our lives, or left a lasting impression on the very fiber that make up who we are.

When Veterans Day rolls around each year, I think of many of those heroes, all of them worthy of recognition, each providing their own slice of patriotism or humanity that lives on

despite their absence.

I think of the millions of men and women who have served, sacrificed, and committed for their nation. It’s hard not to feel a certain amount of pride when we consider the heroes who wore uniforms and made unselfish decisions to defend or protect our country. Their motivation and dedication are noble, and all Americans are somehow made better through their sacrifices.

Any number of those veterans would warrant and deserve special recognition. Specifically, I think of my father who served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army during World War II, ending up in a bitter struggle in the Philippines. He was one of the lucky ones who came home physically unmarked, but forever changed by his experience in those steamy jungles.

But, the story of Pat Tillman never gets old, and never stops inspiring the

people who hear it.

Tillman was an All-American safety who earned a generous NFL contract with the Arizona Cardinals. The hard-hitting defensive stalwart made a name for himself in the league, often described as one of the most intense, dedicated players in the league.

Even early, people realized there was something different about Pat, his irreverence toward the traditional see VETERANS, pg. 8 }

Life as a writer similar to life in grammatical glass house

By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News Several months ago, after learning that I had spent the past decade or so working as a community newspaper editor, a gentleman I’d only recently met asked me if I considered myself to be “one of those grammar snobs.”

“Dear God, no,” I told him, insisting that, on the contrary, I have seen far too many of my own errors make it into print over the years to ever take a swipe at anyone else.

Put another way: Living in a grammatical glass house, I’ve learned to stow my stones.

Truth be told, particularly when it comes to spoken English, I adore the many twists and flourishes our native language acquires as it passes through the different regions of the country. And while I will admit that I still can’t really abide the use of socalled “text lingo” in a professional setting – I wouldn’t sub the word “tho” for “though,” for example, in an email to my supervisor any sooner than I would sign off by typing “ttyl” – I don’t think any true lover of language can be upset by permutations in usage.

Once upon a time, while living in Maine, I delighted in the speech patterns and phrases that were so foreign to my Virginia-tuned ear. And years earlier, spending time in New Mexico, I found it impossible not to embrace the vibrant mix of Spanish and English (referred to as Spanglish, naturally) that peppered everyday conversations.

No, in just about every instance — except when doing my job — I am almost always content to let a person’s words be what they are, no matter if see WRITER, pg. 8 }

That quirky loyalty was clearly distributed when Tillman was offered a multimillion contract to switch teams early in his career, but made what he considered an easy decision to remain with the Cardinals.

In 2002, Pat and his brother Kevin, also the recipient of a professional baseball contract, gave it all up and joined the Army, eventually winding up in Afghanistan at the beginning of what would become America’s longest running war.

He made it clear to Army officials he had not joined to become part of a public relations campaign, or as a poster boy for recruitment. Tilllman

He led his band of Rangers on a reconnaissance mission in 2004, attempting to root out enemy combatants in a remote area of Afghaistan. During the mission, Tillman was hit by friendly fire and died immediately on the battlefield.

For weeks following his death, Army officials continued to tell his family and the American public that Tillman was killed by enemy fire. The controversy somehow became the focus of Tillman’s death, and his heroic service was lost in the back and forth of Army press releases and a family

looking for answers.

The truth finally emerged regarding Tillman’s senseless and untimely death and the disgraceful manner in which it was handled.

But, those facts could not discount Tillman’s bravery, commitment or sacrifice or his willingness to give up fame and fortune to fight for his country.

Few have sacrificed more than the soft-spoken safety who gave all of it up for a higher calling.

But, many have made the same sacrifice fighting on foreign soil for values we often see VETERANS, pg. 24 }

Why you should not skip ladies’ night out

G

reat friends stand by us through situations thick or thin, and may be the first ones we turn to for some extra support. But friends are good for more than honestly assessing wardrobe choices or picking you up in a rainstorm when your car breaks down on the side of the road. According to the Mayo Clinic, friends can be beneficial to your health.

Good friends can increase your sense of purpose and boost your happiness. They’re also available to help you cope with trauma or tragedy and might just give you the push you need to change unhealthy lifestyle habits.

Women who have close girlfriends may find that ladies’ night out is the ideal way to reconnect and find the time to let loose and have fun. When done responsibly, a ladies’ night out can make for the perfect evening. And while you might be pressed for time and tempted to skip a night out on the town with your girlfriends, the following are just a few reasons why you should keep those plans.

Cut down on stress

Laughing and talking with friends can dramatically cut down on stress. A landmark UCLA study conducted in 2002 concluded that girlfriends are stress-busters for women and have an impact on their overall mood. Oxytocin, a moodelevating hormone, is released when women are around their friends, increasing feelings of euphoria. Considering stress can take its toll on physical and mental health, enjoying an

Keep in touch with yourself

According to Irene S. Levine, Ph.D., creator of The Friendship Blog and author of ‘Best Friends Forever: Surviving a Break-Up With Your Best Friend,’ other women shape you as a person. Female friends provide virtual mirrors that allow you to see who you are and who you want to become. Maintaining that connection to yourself can be just as important as staying connected with your friends.

means not having to exert energy trying to infer tone or meaning behind emails or wondering if those emoticons are masking something unsaid.

Have some fun

One of the key benefits of going out with girlfriends is that you’ll have your partners in crime ready to join you for a night of unbridled fun. Karaoke, dancing or crowd-watching is even better when you have friends backing you up.

Dieting and dining out

D

ining out is big business. A 2016 Consumer Reports survey of more than 68,000 subscribers projected that Americans would spend $720 billion at restaurants in 2016 alone. That equates to nearly half of every food dollar spent in the United States.

Dining out is a great way to try new things, experience new cultures without traveling overseas and spend time with friends and family. But men and women who are dieting or trying to gain greater control over the foods they eat may be nervous about dining out. Many restaurants feature nutritious foods that won’t compromise dieters’ goals of eating healthy.

Dieters concerned about veering off course when they dine out can take the following steps to stay on course.

Research menus before choosing a restaurant.

Apps such as Grubhub and Seamless make it easier than ever for diners to explore menus before booking reservations. Diners can utilize such apps or their corresponding websites to peruse menus so they can rest easy knowing they will ultimately patronize restaurants that won’t compromise their commitments to eating healthy.

Order an appetizer instead of an entrée.

Controlling portion sizes can help dieters lose weight and keep the weight off. But many restaurants understandably serve large portions in an effort to ensure their customers get enough to eat and don’t feel cheated when the bill is presented. Dieters worried about entrée portions and their ability to avoid the temptation to eat large portions can order exclusively from the appetizers menu. Appetizers are meant to be shared, so they should be filling when eaten by just one person. And many restaurants’ appetizers menus are just as varied as their entrée.offerings.

Skip or split dessert. Few people have the time or ability to prepare restaurant-style desserts at home.

That makes desserts even more special when dining out. However, dieters may want to skip dessert if the dessert offerings are limited to high-calorie, sugarladen offerings. Dieters who simply must indulge in dessert can split desserts with fellow diners or opt for low-calorie fare such as fruit.

Dining out is incredibly popular, and diets don’t have to avoid their favorite restaurants.

Families can make staycations more unique

A

s a result of the economic downturn that began in 2008, many families found themselves forgoing traditional vacations in favor of ‘staycations.’ In such instances, families spent time away from work and school together but did not travel far, if at all.

While the economy has bounced back since the dawn of the staycation, many families are still choosing to stay at home in an effort to save money. Staycations might not seem as glamorous as traveling abroad or as relaxing as spending a week in an oceanfront resort or condominium, but there are ways for families to make staycations more fun and seem like a true departure from everyday life.

ordinary family dinners and can make for a fun activity for the whole family.

Indulge in an extraordinary activity

Experiment with new cuisine

One of the joys of travel is the opportunity to dine out and experience cuisine native to particular locales. But families don’t need to travel abroad to enjoy this particular benefit of traveling. The internet is home to a wealth of recipes from countries far and wide. Parents and their kids can choose recipes online and prepare meals from a different country each night, or pick a ‘country or region of the week’ and prepare a different dish native to that area each night. This provides a great departure from

in their towns or cities. Busy families tend to take such opportunities for granted when they get caught up in the daily grind, and exploring local history and artistic opportunities in the same way you would when traveling can provide a sense of excitement similar to that experienced during more traditional vacations.

Visit a local zoo, take in a performance at a local theater company or take a guided historical tour of an area of your hometown or a nearby city.

Eat at a local restaurant either your favorite or one you have been meaning to try.

While families typically choose staycations to save money, forgetting the budget to enjoy one extraordinary activity can make a staycation more fun and memorable. Spend one day during the staycation doing something the family would not ordinarily do, be it visiting an all-day amusement park, taking a helicopter tour of a nearby city or going to a ballgame. Such a break from the norm, even if it’s only for a single night, can make staycations feel more like vacations.

Staycations have become an economic necessity for many families, and there are many ways for parents to make such times as enjoyable and unique as more traditional vacations. -Metro

ining out is a great way to celebrate life’s milestones or simply reconnect with friends and loved ones.

Research firm NPD Group found that, by the end of 2015, restaurant visits by consumers increased by 700 million compared to just five years prior.

While chain restaurants invest heavily in advertising, independently owned restaurants do not have those same resources. Multi-unit chains also have more pull with suppliers and might be able to negotiate better deals, or can spread operational costs across various locations. Too often diners are not aware of the vast array of tasty, well-priced and artisanal foods awaiting them just down the street. But dining out at local eateries can be beneficial in various ways.

High-quality food

Many local establishments have complete control over their suppliers and menus. As a result, they can be picky with regard to the vendors they use and the produce, meats, dairy, and other ingredients that they select. Many small, independently owned restaurants team up with local organic farmers and distributors

Freedom of experimentation

Although chain restaurants may have to meet approval from administrative boards and marketing departments before they can introduce new fare, independently owned restaurants can let their diners decide which foods remain on the menu and even adapt to community trends. Local restaurants may take pride in serving cultural or regional foods.

Ability to customize

Independently owned restaurants may be more amenable to adapting recipes or making substitutions to meet diners’ requests. Skilled local chefs can think on the fly and modify recipes, which may not always be possible in chain establishments.

Crowd control

Local restaurants tend to be smaller and

more intimate than many chain restaurants.

This can translate into a calm dining experience. When crowds are small, the noise level inside the restaurant may be muted and service may be fast because there aren’t as many tables to serve. Furthermore, local establishments, although concerned about making a profit, may be less worried about table turnover rate, preferring to let diners linger if it means repeat business.

Familiar faces

Some diners enjoy being a ‘regular’ at their favorite local restaurants. Local dining spots also become gathering locations for residents in the know, instead of passing-through tourists or commuters.

Much can be said about the advantages of patronizing local eateries. Men and women who want unique dining experiences can give local, independently owned establishments a try.

Entertaining Guide Did you know?

According to the National Restaurant Association, seven in 10 consumers say their favorite restaurant foods provide flavors they cannot easily duplicate at home.

Perhaps that’s one reason why nine in 10 consumers say they enjoy going out to restaurants. While few would likely be shocked to learn that so many people enjoy dining, the types of restaurants consumers prefer reflects a trend that might not have been so important as recently as a decade ago. The National Restaurant Association notes that 68 percent of consumers surveyed for the organization’s 2016 Pocket Factbook are more likely to visit a restaurant that offers locally produced food items. Locally produced foods not only support the local economy, but also tend to be more eco-friendly, as fewer natural resources must be used up to get them from the farm to the dinner table. That preference for eco-friendly food might also explain why 60 percent of consumers are more likely to choose restaurants that offer eco-friendly foods than establishments that provide no such offerings. -Metro Creative METR0

Catering takes the work out of holiday entertaining

A

s enjoyable as the holiday season may be, quite a number of people admit to feeling pressured by the demands of shopping, wrapping and hosting events. According to a poll from the American Psychological Association, up to 70 percent of people feel stressed out by a lack of time and/or money during the holidays.

Stress can take its toll during the holidays.

But stress does not have to turn this festive time of year into something less enjoyable. By removing some of the work involved in holiday planning and hosting, individuals can free up time and enjoy a more relaxing holiday season. For example, holiday hosts may spend several weeks organizing their holiday meals, hours shopping for the ingredients and still more time preparing and cooking the food. By enlisting the services of a professional caterer, hosts can still throw festive parties with great food while letting someone else deal with the stress of meal planning.

When you decide to have your holiday party catered, keep a few factors in mind as you consider your options.

Recommendations

If you have never used a local caterer before, seek recommendations from neighbors and friends. There are many different types of caterers, and some restaurants even provide catering services. Recommendations can help hosts find the right caterer for the style of gathering they’re hoping to host and help them avoid caterers who

may not be the best people to work with.

Timing

11:30am-4pm

The holiday season is a busy time of year for many businesses, caterers included. The sooner the contract is negotiated, the better. Lock in the date and desired foods as soon as you decide to use a caterer. The longer you wait, the more your options dwindle, as caterers’ schedules tend to book up quickly come the holiday season. Have a second-favorite caterer at the ready in case the first one is booked solid.

Packages

Some caterers will only provide the food.

Others are full-service providers and will bring much of what’s needed to entertain. This can include cutlery, plates, chafing dishes, napkins, linens, condiments, and more. Understand fully what each potential catering package includes.

It may be worth spending a little more for a package that’s all-inclusive rather than saving money on a package that requires you to do a lot of work.

Something special

Holiday hosts can personalize catered affairs by including one signature dish or drink. If drinks don’t seem like a good fit, consider creating a dipping sauce, glaze or another homemade item. This puts a personal touch on the meal with minimal effort.

DYLAN MURTAGH

Dylan Thomas Murtagh, 18, of Mechanicsville, died suddenly October 27, 2017.

He was born February 3, 1999, in Richmond, to Julie Lewandowski and Mark Murtagh Jr. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Edward and Judith Lewan-dowski, and paternal grandmother, Donna Murtagh. Dylan was a senior at Atlee High School and proud member of the Atlee High School

kind. His classmates and bandmates have shared many cherished memories with the family, which will carry them through this difficult journey.

A common theme among their sentiments is of Dylan’s warmth, compassion, joyful sweet and gentle attitude, with a very determined and hardworking spirit. As one of his classmates said, “Dylan loved music, and I know he will be making rhythms with the rain and sonatas with the snow.” Another classmate wrote, “I’ll miss him so much, but the mark he made on the Atlee Marching Band will live on in all of us. He’s our hero fallen, but not forgotten, and his legacy will live on forever.”

One of his greatest joys was spending time at the family river house on the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York. There he loved to fish, have bonfires, and jump off the cliffs at Stovin Island. At home, Dylan was an ever-loving presence to his two brothers, his mom and dad, his close cousins and his beloved dogs.

Crow ds fill tow n for 15th annual T rain D ay event

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- Crowds of people and families sporting old-fashioned “train attire” attended the 15th annual “Ashland Train Day” along the historic downtown portion of the town’s railroad tracks on Saturday, Nov. 4. Event-goers were decked out in engineer hats, bandanas and bib overalls.

Despite the drop in temperature and the occasional rain sprinkle over the weekend, the large turnout at the seasonal community event confirmed its success.

Like fairs, there were food trucks parked along the tracks and in downtown parking lots and tents set up with the many railroad-related vendors and sponsors of the event.

At the event, live music was

being performed throughout the day, as well as a classical model train set display, real rail equipment, exhibits showing railroad history, a scavenger hunt, moon bounce, children’s train rides, many mascots, including “Cinder and Tender Bear,” and fire trucks stationed for kids to get in and pull the horn.

Folks also were accompanied by the many CSX and Amtrak trains passing by all day, and were encouraged to wave to the conductors.

Ashland’s Train Day, an event hosted by the Ashland Main Street Association, celebrates the town’s rich heritage it has with the railroad. It started out as a recognition of the “Center of The Universe’s” history with trains at the Ashland Library, and, due to its immediate success and the railroad’s popularity with many local

people, Train Day grew larger by the year until turning into an all-day community event.

Festival participant Tamara Aw said, “We had a fabulous time learning and exploring.

Ashland is really a beautiful town. Train Day offered different options of things to do for the kids. The mini train stations were adorable …

Everyone was informative and extremely pleasant; we were happy to have participated.”

Bill Gatewood, chairman on the AMSA Board of Directors, said that, despite the colder weather and spurts of precipitation, “We [had] a fantastic turnout. We’ve had some decent turnouts where it rained for two years. Last year

was perfect, two years before that it rained – but we still had all of our die-hard people [come out],” Gatewood said.

New to the 2017 Ashland Train Day were “selfie-boards, a face cut-out [for photos] and we had a tremendous improvement in our social media this year,” he said.

He also talked about the

scavenger hunt that took place during the festival, where people had tickets and they went around to different spots in the festival zone and got their tickets punched, and then, at the end, they drop them into a box inside Tiny Tim’s Trains & Toys, the toy store downtown.

“Then we have a drawing for a $500 train set,” he said.

E D A updated on the bottom line in tow n s business grow th

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – Continuing from a prior discussion at the September meeting between Ashland Town Manager Joshua Farrar and the Ashland Economic Development Authority regarding the important impacts in which the town’s business community has on the bottom line, authority members listened to Joe Topham as he expanded on what that means in a presentation at the Oct. 26 regular meeting.

Topham, who is Ashland’s business retention and expansion manager in the Economic Development Department, laid out staff ideas for a plan to identify available site inventory within the town’s corporate limits for redevelop-

ment.

The purpose for redeveloping certain sites is to increase drive in business growth and overall economic growth and prosperity for all members of the Ashland community.

“We [would] say, ‘Hey, these are the areas that we want to see this growth [happen in],’ ” Topham said, explaining TOPHAM what was likely to come from the available inventory’s identification process and final selection.

November 8, 2017

Topham said the town has located 25 properties for sale, 10 of which are for lease, and, all of which, he said, will be considered when staff and the EDA work to choose the right options.

Noting how a particular greenfield-site that has been identified as the largest and most visible property already given the go-ahead for possible redevelopment, the “Holland Tract,” Topham explained how the site, which comprises approximately 37% of Ashland’s total municipal land mass, wasn’t going to be his focus during the Oct. 26 presentation. He added he would be reporting an update on it soon.

He directed authority members’ attention towards five other potential sites, picked from among the 25 identified properties in town that

are for sale/lease.

Topham’s presentation showed that “Ashland’s Top Five” sites chosen by the town to be reviewed with the EDA are: Lowe’s, Ashland Inn & Suites, Mother Parker, Vitamins Shoppe Way (off U.S. Route 1/North Washington Highway), and Ruby Tuesday’s.

Ashland’s Top Five The following list outlines the current status of each site in comparison to their future possibilities: 1. The Lowe’s Site – This site is zoned as a planned shopping center (PSC), it comprises 13.6 acres of land in Ashland with an annual see EDA, pg. 19 }

Murtagh Scarborough; and uncle, Brian (Tina) Murtagh; his aunt, Lynne Lewandowski Hallett (Steve); aunt, Debbie Lewandowski Matos (Rick); and numerous cousins. He also leaves behind him a huge and loving band family. A Funeral Mass was held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 2, 2017, at St. Ann’s Catholic Church at 105 South Snead Street in Ashland.

Interment was private. The Mechanicsville Chapel of Bennett Funeral Home at 8014 Lee-Davis Road was in charge of arrangements. Our Dear and Beloved Son and Brother, you will be with us and in our hearts now and always forever.

We love you more than words can ever say. Rest easy our child, in the arms of the Lord.

average daily traffic (AADT) measurement of 26,300 people; has access to Route 1 and Ashcake Road and is prepared and zoned for Jones home Improvement. A total of $1.9 million (M) is currently being offered on it. Ashland’s town zoning code explains PSCs as having increased flexibility for retail centers.

2. Ashland Inn & Suite’s Site – This property is zoned Highway Commercial (B-2); it’s located underneath a halfmile from Interstate 95 and makes up roughly 5.4 acres in town; it has a 22,000 (K) “[+] AADI” count but isn’t actively marketed; and the existing building is in poor condition.

Ashland zoning code describes B-2 as “retail, restaurants, hotels and commercial.”

3. Mother Parker Site – This parcel is zoned Light Industrial (M-1); it comprises 30 acres of

municipal land and would be an ideal location for a retail or shopping center; already prepared for distribution and is priced at $165,000 per acre.

Town zoning code defines M-1 as typically being more commercial or industrial leaning.

4. Vitamins Shoppe Way – Also zoned M-1, the current site already contains two existing main distribution centers, has water and sewer lines, and lies on 16 acres of property off North Washington Highway, nearing the Town of Ashland’s northern border with Hanover County.

5. Ruby Tuesday’s Site – Zoned B-2, this location has an AADI rate of 22K, is less than a mile down the road from Ashland’s interstate district and the existing structure is currently in “excellent condition;” this final pick in Ashland’s top five potential sites being reviewed for redevelopment is priced at $2.2 M.

He is survived SEAY by his loving wife, Carolyn Seay; son, Christopher Seay; dogs, “His Girls,” Lexy, Daisy and Tina; sister and brother-in-law, Anna and Kenny Thompson; a niece and nephew, and special niece, Rebecca Jones.

He leaves behind two best friends, Anthony Doumlele and Lee Burnett. Jimmy was a longtime employee with Commonwealth Boat Brokers as a “Re-Po man.” Harper King, and his wife, Deanna, became great friends with Jimmy. The relationship they formed became a very special friendship, much more than employer/employee. He loved

fishing and flying remote control airplanes. Most recently, his latest hobby was raising all types of herbs and vegetables of which he was very proud.

Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, at the Mechanicsville Chapel of Bennett Funeral Home at 8014 Lee-Davis Road. Interment followed in Forest Lawn Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to VCU Massey Cancer Center, P.O. Box 843042, Richmond, VA 23284.

sites that are becoming recommended for priority review by the town, the Ashland Economic Development Authority will receive the complete list of 25 for consideration.

Due to the poor and unstable conditions of the existing infrastructure at the Ashland

Inn & Suites, Topham said if that site was deemed available inventory and chosen to be redeveloped, “We think we would probably go ahead do a complete redevelopment,” referring to first having to demolish the current building.

He also said the local government doesn’t want to spec-

JAMES SMITH III

James “Jim” W. Smith III, 69, died October 28, 2017, in Edwardsville, where he loved spending time at the river. Born in Ashland on November 11, 1947, he lived in Ashland and was part of the small town in the “Center of the Universe” throughout his life. He attended Virginia Tech (VPI) and was an Army Reservist during the

He was active with St. Peter’s UMC since 1976. He participated in the Ashland Variety Show as part of the “Hometown Boys” and the “Hanover Heartthrobs.”

He played mandolin and sang with several bluegrass bands, the last being “Short Haul.” He is survived by his wife, Ruth Durham Smith; daughter, Courtney (Brian); sons, Travis (Sarah) and Andrew (Cameron). He was Papa to his grandchildren, Hayden, Campbell, Emerson, Sadie, Macey and Sawyer. He is survived by his mother, Eleanor Attkisson Smith;

and sister, Kathy (Paul). Jim was preceded in death by his father, James W. Smith Jr. A Celebration of Life was held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, November 1, 2017, at St. Peter’s UMC at 15599 Mountain Road in Montpelier.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to St. Peter’s UMC, 15599 St. Peter’s Church Rd., Montpelier, VA 23192 or Ashland Kiwanis Charitable Foundation Inc., P.O. Box 2045, Ashland, VA 23005.

ulate on information that it has not yet officially verified, but noted it was a strong “hope of the town” to completely redo the site and start over from scratch with something new, and, hopefully, a higher contributor to business growth and overall improvements in

Ashland.

Topham said he is hoping to unveil more information regarding plans for the Holland Tract development within the Ashland Economic Development Authority’s upcoming town government sessions.

And, somehow, people like Tillman, who make what seem like extraordinary sacrifices, ignore personal wealth and gain and opt for a uniform,

offer inspiration for all of us.

But, the ones who served, the ones who died hold a special place in our nation’s collective list of heroes, and Pat

Tilllman’s place on that tally is forged in bravery and dedication, no different from the millions we honor on this solemn day.

Voter registar and staff show students election process Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com HANOVER – Voter Registrar Teresa “Teri” Smithson and her staff welcomed Hanover County students age 15 and older to participate in the Election Page Program yesterday on Election Day. Since schools are closed for the General Election, Frances Dailey, assistant registrar, coordinates early in the school year with all four high schools. She works with the Social Studies Department chair and coordinates an information meeting as well as sign-up and education.

After her training session at Lee-Davis High School last month, she received the fol-

lowing response from Stephen Salvato, Social Studies chair.

The response was written by one of his AP (Advanced Placement) Government students, Abigal Carter, a senior at Lee-Davis.

In Hanover County, the citizens have always been engaged in the voting process.

That tradition continues with the younger generation.

On Nov. 7, there were 133 Student Pages volunteering their hours to assist voters, while earning Community Service.

Any student over the age of 15, who is interested in serving as a Student Page in future elections, is encouraged to reach out to the Social Studies and Government teachers.

They also may contact the Voter Registrar Office at 804365-6080 or HanoverVoting@ hanovercounty.gov.

Carter wrote the following response to her experience: “It was interesting to hear about not only the requirements of being a page, but the director’s personal story about working within Hanover County’s local government.

“Without Mrs. Dailey’s help, elections in Hanover would not run as smoothly.

She knew all of the logistics involved -- number of volunteers, precincts and even ballots being put to use on election day. She has played an important part in help-

ing citizens elect government officials, and I find it to be no small feat. You could easily see that she’s passionate about her career (although she also seemed excited for retirement, of course) and believes in the impact that people can make when they all work together to make an event possible.

“The organization that goes into elections is something that many voters tend to overlook, even though I think it’s something we should really appreciate. Both paid employees and volunteers wake up incredibly early and stay incredibly late to set up and clean up so that all voters have to worry about is which candidate to select.

They are part of what keeps our country running as a democracy, and giving all citizens equal voting power. “It gives me hope when I see people of all ages getting involved in government and elections in any way they can; it opens doors for conversation and education on issues that are relevant today. I feel like more than ever our country needs to stop turning the other direction when it comes to talking about disparities between ideologies and parties.

“I think maintaining that the people have a say in government could be something that helps us to turn towards one another and respectfully share ideas. This is a really cool way

for people to get involved and see a part of democracy that isn’t always acknowledged, and I’m glad that we have the opportunity to contribute to our country in this way, even if seems like no big deal to us at the time.

“Everything that we do has more impact than we realize, not only in the short term but the long term. We are the future of America, and I firmly believe that the more we expose ourselves to different parts of the political process, the better.”

For more information about the election process, contact Smithson’s office at 804-365-6080. It is located at 7497 County Complex Rd., Suite 119, in Hanover.

Some residents want bike/walking paths in Comp Plan

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER -- With the Comprehensive Plan update currently undergoing a public comment review, some Hanover County residents want to add a new section to the current plan.

Last month, a committee formed to study the county’s lack of bike and walking paths presented its final recommendations to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, including a suggestion to add a specific section to the current Comp Plan outlining goals for future recreation and healthy lifestyle components including bike and walking trails.

Gary Whelan, chairman of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Citizen Engagement Committee, explained the committee was formed to examine the possibilities of expanded bike and pedestrian options.

The group held monthly meetings since it was formed in February, and conducted walking audits, an online citizens survey and assisting in the update of the county’s Comprehensive Plan “to address healthy lifestyle opportunities for Hanover’s residents.”

More than 1,100 citizens responded to the survey, most of them Hanover citizens and

expressed an overwhelming support for expanded walk/ bike opportunities.

Whelan explained that “complete streets” are roadways that accommodate the needs of all users, and recommended the Comprehensive Plan include language that supports that idea.

“It’s inclusive and not exclusive and is about giving giving people choices and safety,” Whelan said.

The committee also suggested more connectivity between neighborhoods and new developments in the county. “That’s joining people up in Hanover.”

Whelan said the committee

A 2015 graduate from Patrick Henry High School, Kaitlyn has performed on stages all across Hanover County as she aspires to become a professional actor.

A junior at VCU, Kaitlyn has been accepted in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program.

KAITLYN TATE worth it,” she said.

Last year, Kaitlyn played Wednesday Addams in VCU’s “Addams Family the Musical.”

Kaitlyn said she has set her sights on Broadway for the future. She also said she likes to give back and visits with

younger students interested in theater.

“There is so much you can do while you are on stage. You get to make certain choices and see how the audience responds. My absolute favorite is when I can make the audience laugh. That, and I love to sing,” she added.

“For any young person interested in theater, the main thing is to just get out there and get involved. Take that semester in middle school or a year in high school. You never know where it might lead,” Kaitlyn said.

“I have been fortunate to have learned from amazing instructors here in Hanover as well as professors and grad students that have been in the business. I look forward to being in a lot of pink for this show. It has an extremely talented cast and we can’t wait just to have fun on that stage,” she said.

cifically recommended by the committee was the Combs Road Road Diet, a “low cost solution to improve safety and comfort for all users” by restriping the road.

The committee also recognized the need for sidewalk connections on Atlee Station Road to allow safer access to schools and residential communities to shopping areas.

The group indicated that regional projects like the Ashland Trolley Line Trail could provide similar activities to the Capital Bike Trail that is enjoying enormous success.

The committee also addressed the most difficult portion of expanded bike/ walk trails: funding. “We know funding is tight,” Whelan said.

The committee recommended including walk/ bike trails in development plans, utilizing matching fund plans through the Virginia Department of Transportation or the Federal Government or even corporate sponsors.

“We are looking to give value for money and to get bang from the buck with everything we’ve recommended,” Whelan said.

Finding money for these type of projects also was on Beaverdam District Supervisor

The final report will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for further consideration. Including the complete street language into the Comprehensive Plan could occur in several ways.

“If we were to include provisions addressing complete streets, what I would envision is an amendment to the thoroughfare plan that would show a typical section of what a complete street would look like,” Maloney said.

“We’re looking to get the money from wherever possible,” Whelan responded. He noted that some developers are including enhanced trails in their initial plans due to public demand.

Patriots stun L-D with Tomato Bowl win

By Chris Libonati Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Lee-Davis relied on Josh Rice throughout the first half and early into the second. It lined up in an I-formation, the line walled down on the defensive line, the tight end sealed off the outside and a pulling lineman kicked out his block to make sure Rice had a hole to run through each time.

The Confederates ran nearly the same play on six of the first seven snaps of the second half.

But in the fourth quarter, as it started to rain, Rice ran to the right side of the field and was stopped behind the line. Patrick Henry defender Brandon Sullivan punched the ball out and teammate Jamel Jackson picked the ball up and ran into the end zone untouched.

The Confederates’ lead had been whittled away. After a Lee-Davis defender buried his helmet into kicker Rian PecciYoung’s hip, drawing a penalty, the Patriots made a 2-point conversion to take a 1-point lead.

It was their only lead of the game, and it held, and Patrick Henry won the Tomato Bowl 15-14.

“It was a test of wills,” said Patrick Henry coach Keith Braxton. “They want to run it; we want to run it. We got to stop them. They got to stop us.

Raiders win scrappy contest with Hanover

By Daniel Fritz For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – The Atlee Raiders managed to grind out a hard-fought win against their biggest rival – the Hanover Hawks – in what turned out to be a true slugfest. An exciting first half was filled with quick strikes and explosive plays by both teams.

In the second half, Mother Nature intervened, forcing the focus to shift to a ball-controlling strategy amidst pouring rain and sloppy field conditions.

For much of the game, there was less distance between the two teams than the 4 miles down Chamberlayne Road that separates each school. Hanover freshman Eric Rankin picked up right where he left off last week, rushing for 244 yards.

Ultimately, it was Atlee’s ability to convert in key situations that enabled them to take home the victory in the final week of the season.

“Beating Hanover means a lot” said Raiders’ senior captain Robbie Adelstein. “It’s the biggest game of the year, and I’m going to remember it for a long time.”

It was Hanover who got things going early. On the game’s first possession, Rankin broke off an early 53-yard run.

Atlee’s Bratton Tucker hauls in an 18-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tyler Warren in the Raiders’ 36-28 win Friday.

He slipped a tackle, and was off to the races before finally being taken down inside the red zone.

One play later, quarterback Tyler Elrod finished the drive himself on a 14-yard touchdown run for an early Hawks’

lead.

Atlee, came right back with points of their own.

Quarterback Tyler Warren and running back Tucker Bratton moved the team down field, each carrying the football for

positive yards. The combo then connected through the air, when Warren dropped in a pass over top of the Hawks’ defense into the arms Bratton for the Raiders’ touchdown.

A blocked extra point pre-

served the Hawks’ lead for the time being. On the next possession, Rankin would find the end zone himself, this time going straight up the middle for a 23-yard score, stretching the Hanover lead to 8 points in the

said offensive lineman Michael Harris. “Our stance is beat ’em in their mouth, beat ’em in their mouth, beat ’em in their mouth.”

At halftime, Lee-Davis had a 14-7 lead that it built on its running game. In addition to Rice, Jamir Johnson spelled the running back mostly in shotgun sets. He ran the ball eight times for 22 yards. Until the second half, Johnson was effective. A pass from Lass to Rice put the

Confederates up 14-0 and then two drives later, Patrick Henry drove 52 yards on six plays to cut its deficit to seven points.

Despite Rice’s fumbles in the fourth quarter, Lee-Davis had a chance to win the game. It could have kicked a field goal, but chose to pass instead. Rice lined up in the slot, but the pass zipped past him. He pleaded with a referee for a pass-interference call after, but the play

stood.

Patrick Henry ran the clock out and lineman Michael Harris stood in front of his teammates, all on one knee at the end of the game.

“I don’t know if you know, but we just shocked the world,” he yelled at them. “Seventy-five percent,” he yelled again, citing an Instagram poll in which 75 percent of people picked LeeDavis to win on Friday.

Then, they moshed at one end of the field, all around the Tomato Bowl trophy.

“We won the Tomato Bowl, so we’re good,” Braxton said later.

early minutes of the game.

The ensuing kickoff yielded unusual results; with the ball seemingly falling off the tee, it appeared to have been touched by the Hanover kicker. The strange play ultimately provided Atlee with great field position, near the spot where the ball was initially kicked.

Bratton would do the rest from there, carrying the ball three times in four plays, ending in a 20-yard run down the left side, weaving in and out of defenders before reaching the goal line. The score cut the Hawks’ lead to 2 points, closing out a high-scoring first quarter.

The shootout continued in the second quarter. An Alex Oliver interception led to a Carter Nash 1-yard touchdown run, giving the Raiders their first lead of the game.

Atlee continued to seize momentum, when Warren found receiver Cameron Foreman in the end zone for a nice 29-yard diving catch, widening the Raiders’ advantage to 12 points late in the first half.

This time the Hawks would answer, looking to their talented freshman for yet another big play. Rankin took a pitch to the outside and went 57-yards for the score. “[Rankin] is a tough, physisee RAIDERS, pg. 36

Freshman leads Atlee to cross country region title

By Chris Libonati Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee freshman Rachel Mudd won the girls Class 5 Region B cross country title by a 26-second margin over Deep Run’s Lily Snow at Pole Green Park.

Rachel Mudd ran through the finish line with no runner within 20 seconds of her. The Atlee freshman made her way through the ropes leading her away from the course, and her grandfather met her to the side.

They hugged and she assured him she had more left at the end of the race, which she would put toward next week’s state meet.

Then Mudd broke off the conversation, walking to a table at the end of the course to pick up cups of water and hand to teammates and friends who would follow. One of the first runners she met coming through the ropes was Lily Snow, the junior Mudd had just upset to win the Class 5, Region B title.

As a reporter asked her a question, she laughed, quieted, looked down at her shoes and picked her nails.

“I’ve never been reported (on) before,” she said.

Although she had the second-best time in Class 5, Region B coming into the race, Mudd had finished first in only one Milesplit.com-registered race before Wednesday. That was just a year ago, when she won Capital District Meet No. 5.

She finished Wednesday’s race in 18:41, 26 seconds ahead of Snow, who came into the race with the fastest time in Class 5, Region B, at 18:22.00.

Atlee finished first as a team in the girls race. Lee-Davis and Glen Allen finished No. 2 and No. 3. All three teams will compete in the Virginia High School League Class 5 cham-

pionships at Great Meadow in The Plains Friday at 10:30 a.m.

Deep Run senior Matthias Cannon won the boys race with a time of 15:48. On Oct. 14, Cannon failed to finish the MileStat.com Invitational at Pole Green Park because strep throat restricted his breathing after the second mile.

A hip injury has plagued him all season, and he said he has struggled to break the 16-minute mark. Cannon and teammate Zachary Levet finished first and second in the race.

Levet came into the race with the top time. Deep Run finished first and was followed

by Glen Allen and Lee-Davis

in the boys race. Those teams move on to the state meet Friday. Their race will begin at 11:15 a.m.

Of Mudd, coach Tyler Busch said, “She’s been running great, workouts have looked great.

She’s been doing everything we’ve asked. ... It’s nice that she gets to have teammates there every day helping push her.”

This season is Mudd’s first at the varsity level, and Randy Mudd, her father, said she has never run AAU races before.

Before last season, Mudd’s experience was limited to neighborhood 5Ks. Rachel Mudd said her parents help organize the ReeseStrong 5K, which is one of the ways she started running.

In the MileStat Invitational at Pole Green Park, Mudd and Snow both finished in 18:38 — Mudd’s personal record — with the edge going to Snow. That race had been the first time she competed so closely with Snow.

“I knew I had to pace myself at the beginning,” said Rachel Mudd. “I knew the girls were going to start off fast, so I made sure I wouldn’t start off too fast and burn out.”

As Mudd and her teammates posed with their firstplace trophy during the awards presentation, Mudd tried to stand on the far left. But her teammates bounced her from the edge, and while she didn’t hold the trophy, she ended up

right in the center.

For Atlee senior Jessica Faulk, it has been a long wait for a regional title.

“It feels amazing,” Faulk said of the Raiders’ win. “Last year, we were not as good. I think this year we really came together as a team, worked together throughout the entire season and just pushed strong.”

Other county top 10 finishers in the girls race were Mudd’s teammates Cabell Franklin (sixth) and Emma Sudol (10th), and Lee-Davis’ Nicole Van Ess (eighth). Atlee’s Olivia Valentin and a trio of runners from Lee-Davis – Sierra Puleo, Tessa Santelli and Whitney Anderson – claimed 11th through 14th

place, respectively.

“On the girls side, we were very good,” Lee-Davis head coach Neil Mathews said.

“Nicole Van Ess has been steady all year and was again today.

Sierra Puleo has been a very good freshman all year – very consistent. But Tessa Santelli really raised her level – and she’s also a ninth grader. She ran with Sierra every step of the way, and Whitney Anderson right behind them.”

Lee-Davis’ Jack Ikenberry led county runners in the boys race. Ikenberry started out at the front of the pack and stayed there to claim a third-place finish in 15:54. While the senior’s finish was an improvement upon last year, he thought he could have done better.

“I feel like if I tactically made a small, a little move, I could have just as easily won it or got second,” Ikenberry said.

“It came down to me, Zach [Levet], Matthias [Cannon] and Ali [Ibrahim]. We were all up there. All of us could have won it, and I like that part, because it was really competitive.”

Ikenberry’s teammate Lane Johnson wasn’t far behind, coming in eighth in 16:29. Atlee’s top boys finisher was freshman Ian Sellors, who finished 20th in 17:10.

Mathews was pleased with the Confederates’ finish.

“Both teams ran real well.

We were pleased,” Mathews said. “A month ago, we weren’t sure where we would be. …

Our boys team really grew together. We thought we were tight-knit coming into the year, but we had so many injuries and so many freak things happen to our group of seven that our group of seven was totally different at the end of the year than coming out of last year.

Hanover, Atlee girls stay alive in volleyball

By Mike Schoeffel For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover girls volleyball Greg Knight knows how to push his team in practice.

Facing a six-day break between the final regular season match and the first postseason contest, Knight brought in a host of stiff competition – adults from the Richmond Volleyball Club, coaches from around the area, and players from schools already eliminated – to scrimmage against his girls.

The aim? To keep the Hawks focused and fresh heading into the Virginia High School League playoffs.

“That big break can kill you,” said Knight. “We brought in some new faces to keep the girls on their toes. It’s all about putting them in high-pressure situations, so when they come out here for an actual match it’s not quite as nerve-wracking.”

That high-intensity approach to practice paid off in Hanover’s first postseason match Thursday as the host Hawks swept Monacan in the Region 4B quarterfinal.

Hanover (19-1), a favorite to win the regional title, was led

by Kylie Tuxford, who finished with 21 kills and eight digs.

The Hawks hosted Courtland (19-11) on Tuesday in the Region 4B semifinal,

Nick Liberante for The Local

Hanover’s Kylie Tuxford spikes the ball between Monacan defenders Emma Will (5) and Madi Rawls (10) in the Hawks’ sweep of the Chiefs in a Class 4, Region B quarterfinal Thursday.

which was held after this edition went to press.

Hanover has now won 12 matches in a row, including its last 12 sets. The Hawks have notched 12 sweeps thus far and have lost only 10 sets all season.

Their only loss came to Atlee on Sept. 19 and only one of their wins has gone to a fifth game.

Though Hanover won all three matches over Monacan – a team that eliminated the Hawks a year ago – in convincing fashion, Knight still feels like there is room for improvement.

“I feel like we’re taking it a little easy against teams that we know we’re going to beat,” he said. “I would rather absolutely demolish a team playing our best volleyball at our highest potential than them hang around and entertain the idea of a comeback.”

Case in point: after winning the first set handily and going up 7-3 in the second set, Monacan evened the score at 7 before the Hawks pulled away for a 25-13 victory. Then Hanover took a 22-9 lead in the third set only to let Monacan

score 6 of the last 9 points in a 25-15 victory.

Those minor hiccups notwithstanding, Knight admitted he felt the girls “hadn’t skipped a beat” since their 3-0 win over Armstrong in the regular season finale on Oct. 26.

“But we also need to focus on putting teams away as quickly as possible,” he added.

“Intensifying practice is key.

That’s what we’re going to continue to do going forward.”

MECHANICSVILLE – No. 2 Atlee led No. 3 Deep Run 14-12 in the fourth set of their Class 5, Region B quarterfinal at Atlee Thursday when Raiders coach Curtis Carpenter called a timeout.

After losing the first two sets and winning the third, his team was trailing in sets 2-1.

A win in the fourth set was essential to keep the season alive.

“They just got into our heads,” Carpenter said. “I basically told us to refocus and make them earn their points.”

After the timeout, Atlee (18-2) won 6 of the next 7 points, built a 20-13 lead and never looked back. The Raiders won the fourth set 25-18, then won the fifth 15-10 to advance to the region final and earn a spot in the Class 5 state tournament.

“I told them they deserve

this,” Carpenter said. “This is big for this team.”

The win earned the Raiders a berth in the Class 5 state championships.

Atlee advanced to the semifinal with a 17-25, 25-17, 25-16, 25-14 win over crosstown rival Lee-Davis Monday.

Kyra Walden led Atlee with 19 kills, two aces and three blocks in the win.

Lauren O’Rielly also supplied five kills, three blocks, three digs and two aces. Olivia Guridy finished with nine blocks and two kills.

Lee-Davis was led by Tory Crabbe with 12 digs, nine kills and four aces. Mackenzie Wright finished with nine kills, three blocks and two digs, and Casey Branson had seven kills and a block.

Raider, Confederate boys volleyball seasons end in regions

By Jonathan Howard For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – The Atlee and Lee-Davis boys volleyball teams faced a pair of West End foes in the Region 5B tournament semifinals on Wednesday night. Both were turned away in their quests to

34

move to the final and to receive a bid to the state tournament.

Atlee opened the night by nearly pulling an upset over the tournament’s top seed – Deep Run – in a 25-20, 26-28, 25-17, 11-25, 15-8 loss. Lee-Davis followed by suffering a 25-22, 25-17, 25-19 sweep at the hands of Douglas Freeman.

November 8, 2017

“We were really shooting for that fourth [state tournament appearance] in a row. We didn’t do it tonight, but we exceed expectations because nobody expected us to make a run,” said Atlee head coach Randy Jones.

“We weren’t able to finish it off, but we made a run and we were one game away.”

The Raiders were able to keep pace with Deep Run with defensive hustle. The key was to limit damage done by Wildcats hitter Michael Wright.

While Wright finished with 21 kills, 10 digs and six assists, Jones felt like his team was able to hold him at bay enough to stay competitive, and swing

energy back in their favor. For the tournament’s fifth seed, Mason Ellenberger played the role of Wright’s counter, registering 20 kills, 19 digs and five blocks. “[Mason] has just come leaps and bounds,” Jones said.

“He’s just that all-around player that isn’t going to mess up. He’s

not going to be high air, but we can count on him to get his kills.”

Trailing two games to one, Atlee evened things up by beating Deep Run at its own game.

According to Deep Run coach Kevin Pond, the Wildcats are see REGIONS, pg. 35

County field hockey teams fall short of states

By Tom Leiss the Free-Lance Star FREDERICKSBURG – Chancellor entered the Region 4C tournament as the top seed, but also with something to prove after some disappointing losses in district play.

While losses can be tough to take, they often reveal things that need to be worked on, as well as what a team is made of.

After rolling to a convincing shutout win in Monday’s quarterfinals, the Chargers showed they’re ready to keep working hard in Wednesday’s semifinals with a deceptively dominant 3-0 win over visiting Patrick Henry.

Chancellor (14-6) met Courtland – a 4-0 winner over Hanover in Wednesday’s other semifinal – in the region final.

Both Chancellor and Courtland advanced to the Class 4 state championship tournament.

While the Chargers held a 17-0 edge in shots and finished with a 25-0 advantage in corners against the Patriots (10-7), head coach Jim Larkin said taking those chances better will be of the utmost importance going forward.

“We need to finish. All year long, scoring has been an issue.

We have looks. We have capability,” the longtime coach said.

“We’ve been working on it. The kids are making better runs.

They’re in the right spots, but they’ve just got to be a little

While Deep Run struggled in both departments in game four, Atlee excelled and was able to take advantage of mistakes that led to easy points a swift 25-11

more patient, take their time, look up and finish the opportunities that they’re given.”

On Wednesday, Chancellor didn’t finish many of its chances, but it converted three of its corners to get the result it needed to move on.

Natalie Amey, who set up all three goals with well-executed inserts, said corners are something the Chargers often concentrate on.

“They are very stressful for me especially,” said the senior who inserted all of Chancellor’s corners. “I’m just happy my teammates were able to finish and my inserts got to them.”

Larkin had high praise for Amey’s ability to get those integral set plays started, especially on Wednesday.

“She does an absolute great job with that,” he said. “You have to have a good insert, and it gives Emma [Bernard] some time to get a touch on it and decide, am I going to shoot, am I going to pass.”

Amey and Bernard combined to set up the opening score midway through the first half.

Amey sent the ball to the top of the circle where Bernard received it, took a touch and ripped a shot that thumped off the base board of the cage, putting Chancellor ahead 1-0 with 15:24 left in the period.

The Patriots kept the deficit at one heading into the second half, but the Chargers’ set-piece win.

“When we serve tough, when we take them out of a system, that’s the biggest difference,” Pond said. “[Atlee] did that to us in the two sets they won. We couldn’t pass the ball and gave them easy stuff to play.”

However, in the fifth and deciding set, Atlee was unable

duo connected once again to double its advantage after intermission.

In a carbon copy of the opener, Bernard collected Amey’s pass and fired a rocket into the cage to make it 2-0 8:16 after the restart.

Bernard said those hard shots can be important to set the tone on corners, not just for her team, but also the opposition.

“That’s what Larkin wants,”

the sophomore said. “The first corner’s always a straight hit so that they know I’m not afraid to crush a ball.”

Four minutes later, Bernard left Amey’s pass for Sarah Stillabower, and the junior riffled a shot of her own from the same spot at the top of the circle to make it 3-0 with 17:27 left in the game.

From there, the Chancellor defense clamped down as the Patriots came up empty in their

last-ditch efforts.

Patrick Henry head coach Abbie Rossman thought the hard shots and the Chargers’ aggressive play played a big role in the game’s outcome.

“I think we played a little bit on our heels. We were a little bit intimidated by the power of their hits and their intensity,” she said. “So, I think we sat back a little bit, unusually for our style of play.”

to capitalize on momentum, and Deep Run got back to the efficient game that has made the Wildcats successful. Deep Run jumped out to an 8-3 lead in the short set, and never allowed the Raiders closer than 4 points.

Michael Norris added 52 assists and two aces for Atlee while Christian Rollison had 10

kills, three blocks and two digs.

In the night’s second match, Lee-Davis looked out of sync in a sweep at the hands of Douglas Freeman.

“We just couldn’t get it going and that made for a long match.

We went up against a really good team, and we didn’t put our best foot forward, unfortunately,” said Lee-Davis head

coach Nick Brown.

For Lee-Davis, Schlothauer finished with 16 kills and 12 digs, Aaron Milstead had 13 kills and eight digs and Brandon Halphen recorded eight kills and four blocks.

Patrick Henry 2, Charlottesville 1 ASHLAND – Patrick Henry and Charlottesville traded goals in the first half, then settled for a defensive scrap for the rest of regulation in their Class 4, Region C quarterfinal on Oct. 30.

Hanover (11-5) beat Louisa (1-16) 4-1 in their quarterfinal matchup.

The Patriots pressed the Black Knight defense hard early in overtime, forcing a corner during which Molly Enright fired a shot that Natalie Nichols deflected into the goal to give Patrick Henry a 2-1 win and a berth in the regional semifinal.

“We finally came through.

Things connected,” Rossman said. “We wanted to keep things simple and let the ball do the work.”

Kora Kane led the way for Hanover in its quarterfinal win with two of the Hawks’ four goals.

Midlothian’s boys blew through the competition, winning the regional team title with 39 points. Louisa was second with 86, and Courtland claiming third – and the last team berth in the state championships – with 110 points. Patrick Henry just missed a team berth with 113 points, and Hanover finished sixth with 158 points.

Midlothian likewise led the pack in the girls race, finishing first with 51 points. King George (second with 72 points) and Louisa (third with 86 points), claimed the other two team berths in the state championships. Patrick Henry was fourth with 114 points, followed

by Hanover (128 points) in fifth place.

Hanover’s Rachel Crytser was the county’s top girls finisher, coming in third in 20:01.00.

Patrick Henry’s Emmy Joyce (20:47.80) and Jennifer Macias (21:01.50) also made the top 10 with sixth- and 10th-place finishes, respectively.

cal runner with a very bright future” said Atlee coach Matt Gray of the dominant Hanover ball carrier.

At halftime, with Atlee up 29-21, the skies opened and the high scoring affair would quickly change course. The wet field forced both team to shift to an inside, ground-andpound offense.

Atlee relied on a combination of Warren, Bratton, and

Nash, while Hanover continued to feed the ball to Rankin, who had 29 carries on the night.

In the final minutes, trailing by 8 points, the Hawks’ had one last chance to try and tie their crosstown rivals and send the game into overtime. On fourthand-long, an Elrod pass fell incomplete, sealing the victory for the Raiders’ and providing an exciting ending to their season.

Just like the game on Friday night, both the Raiders’ and Hawks’ seasons were filled with ups and downs.

it,” said Hall, a former standout at Hanover High School.

“Everyone’s going to have errors.

We’re not perfect. Not every ball’s going to be awesome. But I think the important thing is to make it up with a pass, get the next ball and move on.”

Randolph-Macon’s hitters frequently struggled against a young Generals team that refused to let the ball hit the floor – often by seeming sheer force of will.

“They’re great blockers,” Hall said of Washington & Lee.

“It’s all about adjustment and learning how to hit around or through them.”

The Generals (24-10) drew the first blood, quickly jumping out to a 6-1 lead in the first set and holding the advantage throughout. While the Yellow Jackets (23-6) won the second set, the Generals looked to be the better team after taking a 2-1 lead with a third-set win.

They had played nearly flawless ball, but Randolph-Macon head coach Bill Rogers felt time would be on the Yellow Jackets’

side.

“That was a really good team,” Rogers said of the Generals. “The first three sets, W&L made almost no unforced errors. That’s almost impossible to do, and it is impossible to maintain, I think, because it wasn’t necessarily their forté.

They do make errors, and they showed in in the fourth and fifth sets.”

The key to the win was in the Yellow Jackets’ ability to adapt.

“We stayed after it. This is a smart team. They really do

make the adjustments,” Rogers said. “We had a little blip early in the first set. After that we were just really steady. We were just grinding it out.”

Randolph-Macon earned the ODAC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tournament. The Yellow Jackets will travel to Owings Mills, Maryland, to face Swarthmore in the first round Friday at 12:30 p.m.

“We certainly have work to do, though, and I feel strongly that many other citizens and our children would benefit from county investment in dedicated biking and walking infrastructure,” Feighner said.

He encouraged board members to adopt Comp Plan revisions that include complete streets and safe biking and walking in Hanover County.

“Please remember that an investment in biking and safe walking and biking infrastructure is an investment in people, our community and an overall sense of inclusiveness in this great county we all call home,” Feighner concluded.
