STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN

Demands up, but no tax hike in ’19

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

Rhu Harris presented the county’s budget proposal last week to the supervisors.

HANOVER -- Despite increasing expenditures and demand for services, Hanover County’s proposed 2019 budget does not include a tax increase for its citizens. The current real estate tax rate is 81 cents per $100 of assessed value remains in effect.

County administrator Cecil R. “Rhu� Harris Jr. told supervisors that a decreased state share, increased educational demands for dollars in addition to smaller contributions from the Commonwealth for

the Community Services Board and Social Services have forced the county to provide more funding for those agencies.

Harris said general property taxes, specifically real estate tax revenue, enabled the county to propose a budget that addresses those increases without making changes to the county’s current real estate tax. Those revenues increased by $7 million or 4.5 percent from the previous year. Hanover homeowners are experiencing increased rising prices for home sales, a trend that appears to be happening statewide.

The 2019 proposed budget is $463.1 million, which represents an increase from last year’s budget of $22.5 million or 5.1 percent.

By far, the largest chunk, about 41 percent, of the proposed budget is slated for education, and the county is providing $6.5 million more than last year to meet those needs, $3.9 million reserved for salary increases and rising health insurance costs.

Public Safety also comprises a major part of the county’s budget, and the FY2019 pro-

Hanover Cares honored Comp Plan OK’d despite no bike/walk trails for community leadership

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

HANOVER -- Following a lengthy public hearing last week, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors approved the 2017 to 2037 Hanover County Comprehensive Plan by a 5-2 vote.

Faye Prichard, Ashland District, and Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy

District, voted against the measure due to the elimination of a section that addressed healthy living and expanded bike and walk trails in new developments.

Two other amendments, one reducing density and the other removing an expansion to the Suburban Service Area (SSA), also were approved prior to the board’s adoption of the Planning Commission’s

Ruritans honor West with Community Service Award

INSIDE

Sta Report news@mechlocal.com

ECHANICSVILLE – Aimee Oatman West recently was recognized by the Hanover Ruritan Club for demonstrating goodwill, fellowship and service to the community in a special way.

With a mission statement of Goodwill, Fellowship and Community Service, the Ruritans present the award to honor an individual’s efforts to help improve the lives of others.

West, a lifelong resident of Mechanicsville, operated West Nurseries on U .S. 360 for 35 years before retiring.

They sold the business just before her husband Tommy passed away in 2015.

Ruritan Gordon Johnson said, “ While Aimee has had to deal with the progressively negative effects of MS (muscular sclerosis) and uses a wheelchair, the wheelchair has not defined her or confined her – she is very active in the community.”

West has worked on mission activities at New Bethesda Baptist Church for 40 years. Samaritan’s Purse, “ Operation Christmas Child,” is among those missions. The Franklin Graham ministry unites the community in buying gifts – including toys, clothing, underwear, and personal care items -- that are placed in gift shoeboxes for children.

West’s church group, the Agape Women’s Circle, started their church’s participation 20 years ago with only

for shoeboxes. Her church is now a regional collection site.

In 2016, the collection grew to 900-plus gift boxes.

For the past two years, West traveled to Baltimore, Maryland, and Charlotte, North Carolina, to help with the processing of gift boxes for worldwide distribution to children in other countries.

Six years ago, West started working with MCEF (Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions), taking requests from people who need immediate financial help to pay their utility bills, power bills, medicine, food and rent to stay in their homes.

In working with MCEF, West also helped with scheduling rides for Hanover Senior Rides program, which offers rides for seniors who can no longer drive to their medical appointments or the grocery store or to take care of personal business.

West now manages the Senior Rides program, work schedules for all four ride coordinators, takes calls from people who needs rides and helps them with their rides.

Since West started managing the program in mid-2015, Senior Rides has given over 1,200 rides to seniors in Mechanicsville.

In looking for ways to seek God’s blessings on the community, she organized weekly prayer meetings in her home to pray for America’s future during the 2016 election season.

In addition to work in her church and with MCEF, West has dedicated one day a week for five years to work as a volunteer to bring some level of cheer to patients at the Hanover Health Care facility.

She visits and helps people who are in long-term care and may not have family or other visitors.

Staff Report news@mechlocal.com

ASHLAND A report of several gunshots being heard prompted officers with the Ashland Police Department to respond Wednesday evening, Feb. 7, to the area of Duncan Street and West Francis Street in the town According to Officer Chip Watts, who handles public information and community policing for the department, officers determined that three to four shots had

been fired from a handgun in that area.

He said officers and investigators located evidence, including damage to a vehicle parked along the street and other property damage.

“Fortunately, no one was struck and it does not appear that any residential structures were impacted.” Watts said.

“At this point, it appears that the shots were fired from a vehicle traveling southbound on Duncan Street,” he said. “The suspect vehicle may have a loud or mal-

functioning exhaust. There have been no other reports of such activity in the neighborhood.”

“Although no one was injured in this incident, we are very concerned about this serious act of vandalism,” Watts added.

Officers responded to the scene at 6:47 p.m.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call 804-798-1227 or Crime Stoppers at 804-780-1000. Callers can remain anonymous.

A reminder certainly worth repeating

Businesses thanked for supporting band

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Some friends recently lost their father in what may be an eye-opener for some, especially those who take for granted the need to tell people how you feel about them -- as in you love them.

Their relationship had been strained for many years after their parents divorced. He would periodically make contact with one of the sisters (there are five), but consistency did not exist.

Having lost my father suddenly in 1992, I knew all too well that they needed to forgive him even if you can’t forget circumstances that were painful.

I was blessed to have a good father and he and my mother had a loving relationship for just over

40 years.

Despite my friends’ devotion to their mother (and it was understandable), they needed to make peace with their dad.

I made contact with the sisters the morning I learned of his passing. I was so relieved to learn that the weekend before his death he insisted on talking to his daughters.

Before he left this life, he did talk to each of them and told them he loved them. My heart filled with comfort when I learned he made that gesture.

It just so happens that every time I talk to any of the sisters I always tell them that I love them. I have been part of that family for about 40 years. Their mom is my second mother.

I’ve said this before and it’s a given I will say it again: Tell people you love them. We have no guarantees for tomorrow, so take the time to tell those who matter to you that you love them.

With family and friends, I tell them that every time we have any communication.

When I leave this life, I want those that I care about to know what they meant to me. That’s why I tell them now.

My friends’ father was laid to rest last week and I thank God that he told his daughters how he felt about them. There’s no doubt in my mind that his journey was peaceful.

“I love you” -- three of the most powerful words we can use, so say them often because it matters.

Son’s steps show determination, bring a smile

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

It’s been months since I’ve had a real smile on my face.

Since I received news that my son Jack had broken his leg two days before Christmas, I’ve been consumed with concern and anticipation of an impending dose of reality.

A broken leg for any kid is a serious event, and parents realize quickly that an immobile child is a whole new ball game when it comes to care.

For a child with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, the results of a serious break are even more ominous.

It’s part of a sad regression that robs its sufferers from their final steps, and a series of breaks usually preludes their transition to a wheelchair and marks an end to the little independence they enjoyed with their limited steps.

For the past 12 months, I’ve tried to prepare Jack for the inevitable. The recent breaks, although normal in the process for MD sufferers, accelerated

Jack’s quickly deteriorating condition.

During his healing process, the prospects of Jack’s future mobility represented a scary elephant in the room and whether or not Jack would regain any mobility after weeks of immobility and six weeks in a cast was an unknown.

After two surgeries, it was a happy day when the cast finally came off, but the joy was quickly tempered with the sad reality of what might be regained.

Throughout the past weeks, I’ve

found myself recalling what must seem like everyday moments to most parents.

I see the image of a father walking his child down a long hall to a classroom on the first day of school, or the struggled strides of a determined young boy around a baseball diamond laid out in the front yard.

The steps were never easy, probably much harder than any of us realized at the time, but Jack didn’t complain and see STEPS pg. 7 }

The Lee-Davis Band Boosters would like to express our thanks to several local businesses that supported the Lee-Davis High School band programs in 2017-2018.

Those businesses are: BNW Builders Inc.; Car Pool LLC; CodeBlue Technology LLC; EV Roofing; The Goddard School of Mechanicsville; Hayden’s RVs. Hill Electrical; HomeMakers Furniture; Howell’s Heating & Air; McCaul, Martin, Evans & Cook P.C.; Rick’s Tire and Auto Inc.; Roma Ristorante Italiano; and Royal Printing Company.

Music programs in middle and high schools receive the majority of their financial support from fundraising activities and corporate sponsors.

Even with the fundraising activities we conduct throughout the year, it is difficult to meet the financial needs to support a thriving band program for children who participate in this lifeenriching activity.

Sponsorships from local companies like these go a long way in helping us purchase new instruments, repair old ones, pay competition entry fees, and offset travel and uniform expenses.

We are very grateful for the assistance provided by our sponsors, and encourage everyone in the community to please consider supporting these local businesses that have generously supported us.

straight and narrow sidewalk along a ridge — a walk I took hand-in-hand with Jack on too many occasions to count, or maybe not.

I also recall the last time we took that walk, a real struggle for Jack that required several stops and a tenacious effort by my son to complete.

He’s shown the same deter-

mination, that familiar tenacity, that drive and will and that same sense of dignity as he embarks on weeks of physical therapy.

Years of dealing with a deadly disease have forced Jack to approach life with a sense of realism that I suppose is a mechanism of necessity.

But, early on in this pro-

cess, Jack informed his doctors, physical therapists and his family that he would walk again. We all met his announcement with a healthy sense of hope and a realistic pinch of realism.

Last week, Jack took 10 steps during his physical therapy visit.

Now, I know that isn’t monumental, but it rates quite high on my list of hopes and dreams.

We’re counting steps again and the number is going in the right direction. I’ll make sure each one is treated with the special recognition the effort behind it deserves.

More importantly, Jack arrived home after his session and couldn’t wait to tell me of his accomplishment.

“Dad, I took 10 steps at

physical therapy today,” he said followed by a long silence when he just looked up at me and smiled.

It was a smile I hadn’t seen on his face for months, a sure sign that Jack isn’t ready to surrender or hide from a relentless pursuer. He’ll be fighting for every step. And that brought a huge smile to my face.

Aldrin, Susan B. Anthony, and George Washington Carver demonstrate the kind of character that we value and want in our children. In this way, the argument moves away from issues of heritage, which favor certain groups over others.

School names are for fostering specific values in all our

children.

Second, let’s keep our fight over history and heritage at adult forums. It is appropriate to have this debate over adult institutions, such as statues, memorials, office building, and the like. But no child should feel offended over their school’s name … and no parent should

feel obliged to explain to their child why her school has a problematic name. Schools for our children are not the right place to have this debate or to wage this cultural war.

Third, if the name of a school offends the students of

that school, why would any rational person force it upon them?

Schools need to be safe places for children — not safe for this or that group, but for all.

There are plenty of names that demonstrate character and

leadership, so let’s select one that everyone can embrace — one that suggests the kind of leadership, character, and values that all Americans already support.

the development of engagement opportunities for youth and parents.”

“Through the creation of programs, sponsoring and attending events, posts on social media, and the establishment of youth advocacy groups, Hanover Cares works to target and reduce substance abuse in the Hanover County and central Virginia area,” she added.

Among the activities that Hanover Cares supports are: Hidden in Plain Sight – educates parents on possible signs of drug and alcohol use; Just Say Something, I’m Listening – provides parents with tools to make the conversation of drug and alcohol use a little easier; Sticker Shock – youth from the program place STOP or WAIT stickers on alcohol cases at grocery stores to remind buyers it’s illegal to purchase alcohol for anyone under the age of 21; and

Compliance Checks – supports the compliance checks performed by the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and the Town of Ashland Police Department to ensure local businesses are checking identifications and not selling to underage consumers.

Hanover Cares also sponsors high school students attending a week-long Youth Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Project each sum-

mer, and partner with Mothers Against Drunk Driving to have a Power of Parents program included in new driver’s licensing ceremony packets.

The organization has hosted several screenings of the FBI/DEA film, “Chasing the Dragon,” and numerous Drug Take Back Days.

As recent as October, Hanover Cares partnered with Henrico and Chesterfield counties to host “Revive RVA: Regional Solutions to the Opioid Crisis” wherein the goal was to examine and identify solutions to the increasing issues of heroin and opioid abuse in central Virginia.

“From a law enforcement perspective in today’s society, where alcohol and drug abuse are so prevalent, it’s invaluable to have an organization such as Hanover Cares available to educate and provide resources to parents and youth,” Lee said. “The programs that Hanover Cares initiated and the cooperation they have demonstrated with law enforcement and other prevention-minded organizations has made them as asset to the community and very deserving of the FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award. Congratulations!”

School budget of $202.9 mil gets unanimous approval

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

ASHLAND -- Members of the Hanover County School Board unanimously approved Superintendent Michael Gill’s proposed FY2019 budget totaling $202.9 million at a regularly scheduled meeting last week.

There was no discussion as John Axselle, Beaverdam District, moved for approval.

The vote closes a three-month process that began in earnest in December, but, in reality, is a year-long process.

Gill presented that budget to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors the following day and outlined the highlights that include a 2 percent raise for employees, the continuation of a five-year technology plan aimed at improving opportunities for Hanover’s students and teachers, and the addition of a number of new positions,

many of them specializing in technology or early behavioral programs.

Those new positions include two Technology Resource teachers, a tech support position, 2.6 new school counselors, two behavioral interventionists, one ESL (English as a Second Language) slot, one special edu-

cation teacher and one school bus driver. The budget also provides eight additional slots in a regional specialty school called CodeRVA, bringing the total number of Hanover students to 16 in the program’s second year of operation.

In other matters, a trio of speakers expressed support for

keeping the names of Lee-Davis High School and Stonewall Jackson Middle School as they are.

Marsha Boyce Rider referred to efforts by former students and others who spoke in recent months regarding their preference for a change in the names.

“I have also read the mem-

bers of the opposing group have called Hanover County a disgrace,” Rider said. “My solution to that is move. Why would anyone want to live in a county that they call a disgrace?” she asked.

Rider said the current county survey devised to gauge public sentiment regarding the school names would verify that a majority of citizens prefer no change in the names of the schools.

Lewis Fox spoke during public comment period and expressed his opinions on the name change issue involving Lee-Davis High School and Stonewall Jackson Middle School.

“The feedback surveys that you provided to the public will show proof that the majority of Hanover County residents have reacted to ‘Keep the Names the Same.’ ” Rider’s daughter, Morgan, a student at Lee-Davis, also spoke during the public comment period of last week’s meeting.

“My view on the whole ordeal with the name change is that Hanover County should be

focusing on making school conditions better for the students,” she said. “It has been stated that Hanover County should change the two names because it puts a strain on the learning of the students and that is not true. As an athlete who has played alongside many African Americans and teamed up to make the sports program at Lee-Davis the way it is, they are treated fairly and no different from me based on their skin color,” Rider said.

Lewis Fox also spoke and said he wasn’t either for or against the name changes, but noted that many of the inequities bestowed on African Americans were accomplished under the American flag, not the Confederate flag.

“In my mind, it’s a diversion,” Fox said, noting that many of the monuments were constructed or schools named long after the Civil War. “The monuments, the school names were done under the Stars and Stripes,” Fox said.

“Changing the names or tearing down the monuments does not go to the core of the issue,” he said. “The Constitution guarantees everyone equal rights. The fact that we failed to do that cannot be blamed on one four-year period of the Civil War.” The survey is available on the system’s website and is open for comment until Friday, Feb. 23.

Joyce B. Watson, age 86, of Glen Allen, formerly of Hanover County where she was born, passed away on February 13, 2018. She was preceded in death by her parents, Aaron Melvin Bosher and Gladys Cosby Bosher; see OBITUARIES, pg. 13 }

Virginia Museum of History & Culture HYLTON’STRANSMISSIONSERVICE

RICHMOND — The Virginia Historical Society was established in 1831 and has operated as such for the past 187 years. But, this year marks a big change for one of the Commonwealth’s oldest cultural institutions. Moving forward, its Boulevard headquarters will be called the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

“We may be the Commonwealth’s oldest cultural institution, and one of the most distinguished history organizations in the country, but we are ready for meaningful change and progress — to do more and be more for the people of Virginia and beyond,” Jamie O. Bosket, president and CEO, said. “We believe that our new museum name will encourage visitation, be more welcoming, and better articulate our chief purpose.”

The new name will be officially announced at a WWI Centennial Gala, with special remarks by the Honorable Ralph Northam, 73rd governor of Virginia. Board members and representatives from peer institutions will attend, as well as representatives from the current lead exhibition sponsor, The Boeing Company.

Bosket said the new name does not replace the organization’s historic identity; Virginia Historical Society will live on as the name of the parent organization under which membership will remain as well as its premier research library, newly named museum, and renowned 9 million-item history collection.

The Virginia Museum of History & Culture is intended to

A new name for one of the commonwealth’s oldest institutions

create a fresh and effective means of fulfilling the mission: connecting people to America’s past through the unparalleled story of Virginia. The hope is that the new name will convey a more welcoming persona that will help promote visitation and attract a new and more inclusive generation of history lovers.

The name change was resoundingly reinforced by several months of thoughtful research. The institution polled thousands of members and non-members, talked with partner organizations across the state, consulted with staff and the Board of Trustees, and conducted extensive industry and audience analyses. All insights pointed to the solution — start calling the building what it is, a museum, but also keep Virginia Historical Society as the overarching identity. Members were notified of the new name earlier this month and the public will begin seeing the transition over the next few weeks.

The Virginia Museum of History & Culture is currently hosting to one of the largest commemorations for the centennial of World War I (1914 to 1918). Hundreds of original artifacts and important personal narratives in WW1 America tell the story of the war overseas and its dramatic impact on the home front.

Special travelling exhibitions, and big upcoming events on Memorial Day and July 4, serve as opportunities to engage a wide variety of audiences with diverse interests in Virginia history and to put the new name to the test.

A new chapter begins in the history of the Commonwealth, and the Virginia Museum of History & Culture intends to welcome curious minds for another 187 years.

The Virginia Museum of History & Culture is located at 428 N. Boulevard in Richmond’s Museum District.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday and Sunday for the galleries and museum shop and10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the library.

For more information, call 804-358-4901, visit VirginiaHistory. org, or connect with the Virginia Museum of History & Culture on Facebook and Twitter.

R ichm ond Sym phony to perform C ham ber pieces at R andolph-M acon Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND -- The Richmond Symphony and Music Director Steven Smith will perform in concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25, in the Blackwell Auditorium on the Randolph-Macon College campus in Ashland.

The Metro Collection concert includes Schubert’s Overture in the Italian Style in C Major, Roussel’s Concert pour petit orchestre, and Handel’s Water Music.

Schubert’s Overture in C Major is all about simply-stated melody. It begins seriously enough à la Beethoven, but then the woodwinds launch into a cheery little tune over a simple string accompaniment.

In the faster part of the overture, the strings

play a frolicsome melody. The woodwinds try to add some seriousness, but to no avail.

Like Rossini, Schubert increases the speed of the overture to end in a flash of brilliance.

Roussel wrote his Concerto for Small Orchestra just as he embraced a “ neo-classical” style of composing.

The first movement has a clean, transparent texture in spite of the busyness of its interweaving lines. It has a sort of rhythmic drive throughout, until it simply runs out of steam.

The second movement has an ethereal, static quality with individual instruments playing long, stretched-out melodies above the ensemble.

The short last movement has a hearty, vigorous rhythm that underpins melodic snippets that see SYMPHONY, pg. 17 }

tumble over each other. The piece ends with a musical wink.

Handel wrote his Water Music for a boating party that King George I held in July of 1717. The King put his guests on boats and had them rowed up the River Thames to his house at Chelsea, where he served them dinner at 1 o’clock in the morning. Later, they all floated back to London, arriving at something like 4 o’clock.

Handel’s Water Music is actually a set of three suites, each one in a different key and using a slightly different orchestra. Each suite follows the typical Baroque pattern: an

Services Act and providing off-site specialty education for identified students.

Harris said the backbone of the county’s ability to fund and provide services are the people behind those efforts, the employees of Hanover County.

Although the state has provided only two raises in the past five years, the county has funded yearly increases for county employees, including school personnel. This year’s proposal continues that trend with a recommended 2 percent merit increase for employees.

In addition to the $1.5 million provided for salary increases, the employers share for health insurance also increased by $500,000.

Harris also presented his Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the upcoming year, highlighted by funding for the new Atlee Library, the continuation of the school system’s five-year technology plan and

a proposed new park site in the Cold Harbor District Following Harris’s proposed budget, supervisors heard from three departments that comprise a major portion of that document.

Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, presented a timeline of success for his office and the employees who man it, citing numerous national awards and recognition, a record low crime rate and a network of community partnerships that all combine to form a safe environment for county residents.

While Hanover’s crime rate regarding major indexed offenses decreased and solve rates increased, Hines said other offenses like vandalism, public drunkenness and similar crimes are on the rise.

Hines also noted that Hanover County is not immune to a national opioid abuse problem and his deputies continue to see an increase in drug-related calls.

Budget requests for five additional deputies and one

court services officer are funded in Harris’ budget, but Hines said the salary issue continues to affect his department.

Starting pay for Hanover patrol officers now ranks third in the metro region, and Hines said the low pay is beginning to affect recruitment and retention. For the first time in Hines’ memory, the department has lost employees to neighboring jurisdictions or state agencies.

Referring to this year’s budget proposal, Hines said, “The needs of today and tomorrow must be considered — such as salaries and employee compensation which are not reflected in this budget.”

Fire-EMS Chief Jethro Piland told supervisors that the five new positions outlined in the proposed budget would allow full-time staffing at the Black Creek station.

Coupled with the eight additional positions funded by a FEMA grant last year, Piland said the additions are having a

residual affect countywide in improving response times and providing better coverage.

Piland said the department’s needs continue to increase, a wish list that includes new backpacks, additional extraction equipment and computers for all units.

Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, presented his 2019 budget request a day after the school board had unanimously approved its adoption.

He told the supervisors that slightly decreased enrollment numbers don’t equate to a reduction of needs for Hanover students. He said the system continues to focus on relevance, equity and innovation and spends a bigger chunk of its budget on instruction that any other Division I school in the state.

As for state funding challenges, Gill said, “We recognize that localities are increasingly

being required to fund a larger percentage of public education, and I am thankful that our county administrator and board of supervisors continue to make public education a top priority.”

He also credited a smooth budget process to an ongoing relationship with county officials that allow more precise planning in the months preceding the budget presentation.

“The county administrator and I share a mutual trust and respect. He trusts that the requests I submit on behalf of the school board and school division represent real needs that will help maintain or enhance the excellent level of service to which we are accustomed. Similarly, I know that he and his staff work hard each year to accommodate as many of our funding requests as possible,” Gill said.

Departmental budget presentations continue this week, a process that will continue as the board considers this year’s proposal.

COMP Continued from pg. 1

Service Area to include the Hylas area of western Hanover, an area that borders Henrico and Goochland counties, was approved unanimously after supervisors received a clear message from residents who opposed the measure.

Hazzard’s announcement did not deter a number of Rockville area residents from expressing their displeasure at the thought of their rural area being designated for commercial use.

We moved here to get away from development, we chose Rockville because it’s a little slice of heaven …”

Some speakers pointed to the willingness of the county to accommodate out of county developers while ignoring the wishes of the residents. One speaker said the amendment was the direct result of a request

from two developers.

Both of those developers took advantage of the public hearing to express their opinions on the proposed changes.

Lawrence Liesfield owns a large tract of land in the amended area and said accusations that he bought the property for development purposes are not accurate.

“I did not know about the Comprehensive Plan change until last May,” he said. “I did not orchestrate that. I was notified by Hanover County … I am not a developer who bought that land just for development.”

“I was a little blindsided Monday when I got a call from one of the residents that told me there was a problem about the zoning. I knew nothing about it.”

That contradicts earlier reports that the Comp Plan change was prompted by requests from developers.

Liesfeld said he met with Hazzard to discuss ideas for the area and the possibility of

extending utilities to the area, “but nothing concrete.”

“The Comprehensive Plan was brought to me by you all. I never bought the property with the idea of it being developed right away,” Liesfeld said. “ He said the property would, however, be developed at some point in the future. “I do plan to do it one day, but I don’t plan to do it next week.”

Goochland developer Scott Gaeser also owns property in the area, a 15-acre tract south of Ashland Road, and said he had been involved in this process since the beginning.

“Up until a few days ago, I didn’t know there was a problem either,” Gaeser said. “I had discussions with Mr. [David] Maloney (county planning director) a year or two ago and he told me the best idea was to bring this forward in the Comprehensive Plan process.”

Gaeser said the benefits to current residents in the form of improved utilities and services

from the rezoning should not be discounted.

“I just want to make it clear that Mr. Liesfeld and I had not map intent here. We still believe that these two pieces should be included in the SSA, given the opportunity to work with citizenry to determine what the villages look like,” Gaeser concluded.

But the threat of urban sprawl and a longstanding fear that Short Pump would eventually engulf surrounding rural communities was a theme echoed by most of the speakers.

Many said they moved to the Rockville area to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and the rural lifestyle is not something they are anxious to relinquish.

“Most of us decided to move to Hanover because of the rural life,” resident Chuck Kinney said.

“We chose western Hanover. We just didn’t end up here.”

her neighbors by going door-todoor and alerting them to the impending changes, and said the response was “conclusive.”

“They emphatically told us we love our quiet lifestyle -enough of commercial sprawl.

We want Rockville to stay rural, now and always,” Rubis said.

At the conclusion of the public hearing, Hazzard made good on his word and immediately moved to remove an amendment outlining an expansion of the SSA that included the Hylas area and zoned that area for commercial development.

“It’s very obvious to me that this is not something that the citizens want at this time,” Hazzard said. “Mr. Liesfeld and I met after the Planning Commission had approved this and we discussed what would be acceptable in that area. I’m sorry if I misled him. I owe all of you an apology and I’ll try to do better.”

The draft plan hit a major snag regarding Section IV of the document that describes

guidelines for healthy living and the desire for bike trials and walking paths in future developments in appropriate parts of the county.

A number of citizens spoke in favor of the section’s inclusion in the current update, many noting the plan was aspirational and designed to promote healthy lifestyles and improve safety in more densely populated areas of the county.

But Mechanicsville supervisor Canova Peterson expressed concern regarding implementation of a plan that lacked specifics or details for future development.

Peterson said the healthy living statement should be included in Section I of the document and moved that Section IV be removed from the current draft.

He noted that the current Comp Plan addresses sidewalks and asked that the entire portion be returned to the Community Development Committee for further study to identify a path forward and implementation strategies.

“If we are to successfully implement biking as an alternative transportation option in our

county, we need to have a plan,” Peterson said. “Otherwise, the staff, the Planning Commission or this board have no basis for implementing anything that has been proposed in this section.”

Kelly-Wiecek argued against the removal of the section, and pointed to the large number of citizens who came out to support the measure at the meeting.

She noted the board had taken action on the SSA expansion and reduced density in the SSA due to citizen concerns expressed at the public hearing.

“If you voted tonight to remove Hylas and decrease density because that’s what citizens want, I urge you and hope you feel compelled to include Section IV,” Kelly-Wiecek said.

“This is what our citizens have said that they want.”

Another section of the document was amended when Cold Harbor supervisor Scott Wyatt expressed concerns over revised density levels in the SSA. “Every land case we hear, citizens come and we continue to hear about density,” Wyatt said.

He moved that density be lowered from 1.5 to 3.5 units

per acre to 1.5 to 3.0 units per acre in the SSA general area and from 3.5 to 8 units per acre to 3.5 to 7 units per acre in the Suburban High areas.

Maloney pointed out that adjusting that number reduces the number of available sites in the SSA, and could require an expansion in a decade if the densities were lowered.

Kelly-Wiecek suggested the board take more time before considering an adjustment, but Wyatt’s motion was approved unanimously.

Prichard viewed the impasse as a situation that might best be addressed with a deferral, and joined Kelly-Wiecek in a position where a Comp Plan lacking Section IV was not a document they could approve.

Beaverdam supervisor Bucky Stanley moved for approval for the entire amended plan following a brief recess and the 2017-2037 Comprehensive Plan was approved 5-2. The final document did not include an expansion of the SSA or the healthy living section of the proposal, and lowered density in the SSA.

Buchanan, Aldridge earn wrestling titles

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor CHESAPEAKE – Atlee wrestler Evan Buchanan was getting tired of everyone talking about the match he lost. So he did something about it.

The sophomore, who was runner-up in the 113-pound class at the VHSL Group 5A wrestling championships last year, did not want to hear about how he was runner-up for another year. He made sure he reached the top of the podium this year for the 120-pound championship.

Lee-Davis 170-pounder Andy Aldridge made it two championships out of two appearances in the finals with a pin of Rock Ridge’s Zach Jones in 3:19 to repeat as state champion.

“It feels amazing. I feel so awesome right now.,” Buchanan said after claiming his championship medal. “I missed out last year – I had to go up against a senior. The Times-Dispatch wouldn’t stop talking about it. So, you know what? I told myself I would stop them talking about my one loss. And I went 47-0 with a state championship.

Buchanan won his title with an 11-3 major decision over Matoaca’s Nickolas Garcia.

With 15 seconds to go in the final round, he knew he had the match won.

26

“I just wanted to go out there and get it done,” Aldridge said. “I didn’t want to string it out as long as I did last time.”

He said Jones was a quick learner.

“I got the first shot done and caught him off-guard,” Aldridge said. “I thought it would get a little bit easier, but he probably learned off my shot how to defend it more. I just kept on until I got it.”

Alridge’s teammate, Ned Anthony, was the only other wrestler from the area to reach the finals. Anthony faced Mountain View’s Christopher Vasquez in the 195-pound championship match. Neither wrestler could get an advantage, with the only points in regulation coming from escapes.

Unfortunately for Anthony, the overtime result came down to escapes. The first overtime began with both wrestlers up – with the same result as in regulation. In the second overtime, Anthony chose to start down and failed to get out of Vasquez’s grip. In the third overtime, Vasquez shot out of Anthony’s grasp, and the point was all he needed for a 2-1 win.

Brooke Point won the Dave Lawrence/The Local team title with 158 points, folLee-Davis sophomore Andy Aldridge scores takedown points before pinning Rock Ridge’s Zach Jones in 3:19 in the 170-pound lowed by Potomac (102.5) and final to win his second straight state championship at the VHSL Class 5 wrestling championships at O.C. Smith Saturday.

Mountain View (92). Lee-Davis “I love the guy, he’s an amaz- something of a seesaw affair, as Aldridge adjusted and wasted tial championship last year in was fourth with 86 points. Atlee ing kid,” Buchanan said. “But … Jones parried Aldridge’s shots no time finishing his opponent which he got a takedown in the finished 11th out of the 49-team I knew I was a state champion.” and nearly came up on top of off in the second round – a far final seconds of regulation to Aldridge’s match began a a pile a couple of times. But different match than his ini- break a 1-1 tie. see TITLES, pg. 29

Freeman, Tucker excel at Class 5 championships

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor FAIRFAX – Douglas Freeman’s boys and girls swim teams may have been the most consistent performers, but J. R. Tucker’s boys provided the biggest sparks in the VHSL Class 5 swim championships at George Mason University’s Jim McKay Natatorium Friday night.

The Rebel girls finished second overall and the Freeman boys finished third.

The Tigers had the only metro-area winners of the night, though, and Matthew Whelan had a hand in both of those: first, a come-from-behind win in the 100-yard butterfly, then first in the 400 freestyle relay with Daniel Chance, Patrick Madden and Christopher Dalla Valle.

Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology won the boys team title, edging second-place Briar Woods in the final two events to win by 20 points, 197177. Douglas Freeman had 161 points. J.R. Tucker’s boys were sixth with 129 points.

Patrick Henry-Roanoke handily won the girls team title with 299 points. The Rebels finished with 254.5 points, followed by third-place Briar Woods with 251. Mills Godwin was fourth with 139.5 points.

Both Freeman teams were just nipped and deprived of victories they could have had in a couple of events, but those near-misses did not hamper Freeman head coach Chris Dingman’s happiness with the overall result.

“It felt really good. Our girls and boys swam pretty well,” Dingman said. “Our girls swam very well, especially at the very end when we needed them to. … We’re going to be pretty excited with how we placed.”

The Freeman girls were led

Atkins. Bristow had a secondplace finish in the 500-yard freestyle and third-place finishes: in the 200 medley relay (with Atkins, Grace Edwards and Maura Graff), the 200 freestyle and the 400 freestyle relay (with Peyton Proffitt, Lizzie Danforth and Sarah Bender).

Atkins also finished second in the 200 freestyle relay (with Bender, Graff and Claire Cortright) and the 100 breaststroke.

Hunter Locher led the Douglas Freeman boys with a second in the 500 freestyle.

No matter how consistently the Rebels scored, it was J.R. Tucker’s boys who came home with the wins.

Whelan, who also finished second in the 50 freestyle, was trailing Stone Bridge’s Steven Thalblum halfway through the 100 butterfly when he found some extra spark.

“I knew he had better underwaters than me, so the third 25 I knew I had to get out in front of him, to be even with him coming off the wall for the last one,” Whelan said. “So I just pushed the third 25 and

Monacan makes most of first appearance at states

By Monica Hunsaker For The Mechanicsville Local RICHMOND – Monacan’s first appearance at the Virginia High School League state swimming championship was memorable. The Chiefs’ head coach, Brian Singleton, was all smiles as the night closed, estatic as his boys took home the secondplace trophy in the Class 4 swim championships at SwimRVA Saturday night.

Jefferson Forest barely edged the Chiefs to take top spot in the boys standings, with 233 points, to Monacan’s 224. Kettle Run came in third with 162.5 points, followed

by Lafayette (154) and Salem (147). Hanover’s boys finished eighth with 101.5 points.

Monacan senior Brennen Doss won both the 200-yard and 500-yard freestyles, setting Class 4 records in both: 1:39.26 in the 200 and 4:31.10 in the 500. The latter was an All-American mark. He, along with, teammates Garrison Johnson, Ryan Polino and Tim Higgins secured the win in the 200 freestyle relay.

“This was our first year at VHSL, so we brought all our game – the boys and girls,” Singleton said. “We only had six boys at finals tonight, only four in individual events. And our relays swam really well tonight, so we’re feeling great.”

In another close team race, Jamestown’s girls slipped past King George by five points, 226-221. Blacksburg was a step behind King George with 220.5, followed by Monacan (215) and Riverside (205).

Monacan’s girls 200 freestyle relay team of Christa Jones, Kayla Hobson, Abigail Bunting and Allison Pickels finished second to King George.

William Byrd senior Khalil Fonder edged Monacan’s Michael Heinrich (second) and

In the 200 freestyle relay, Townsend helped teammates Marshall Brooks, Jack Hufner and Luke Daley overtake Jefferson Forest, grabbing fourth place (1:29.64).

The Hawk boys eighthplace finish was a drop from the runner-up position they’ve enjoyed the past couple years.

But with several formerly club swim teams freshly in the mix,

it’s simply a bigger pond. Coach George Massey knows they’ll have to work harder than ever to stay competitive in coming seasons, and he remains confident in his team.

“We had 19 kids competing last year, as opposed to our nine this year, and that makes a difference. But those nine swam well, so the effort was there,” Massey said.

Hawks junior Claire Grant’s performance represented the Hanover girls well. Her 2:17.39 finish in the 200 individual medley was the best by a Hawk since 2009.

Many other records fell in the event. On the boys side, Jefferson Forest’s 200 medley relay team of Matthew Davidson, Sutton Schonfelder, Connor Sauls and Brian Grimmett opened the meet

with a new Class 4 mark of 1:36.50.

Loudon Valley’s Sean Conway turned in a pair of Class 4 record-breaking and All-American performances: 1:47.22 in the 200 individual medley and 44.81 in the 100 freestyle.

On the girls side, Jamestown’s Abby Larson broke a pair of Class 4 records. Larson set a new mark in the 50 freestyle in 23.20 and in the 100 freestyle in 50.47 – both All American performances.

There were two other AllAmerican and record-breaking performances in the girls championships. Lafayette’s Colby Hurt set a new Class 4 mark in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:02.08 and Riverside’s Allison Kopac set a new Class 4 record in the 500 freestyle

4:48.11 Lafayette’s Grace Olsen set a new Class 4 records in the 100 breaststroke in 1:04.64 and Blacksburg’s Lindsay Miller broke the Class 4 record in 1-meter diving with a score of 360.95.

Glen Allen’s girls slip past Springers on final event

By Jonathan Howard For the Times-Dispatch GLEN ALLEN – Glen Allen track and field coach Jenn Ennis didn’t want to let scores stress her out during the Region 5B Indoor Track Championships, held outdoors at Glen Allen High School on Thursday evening. But, heading into the final event of the girls championship, the 1,600-meter relay, Ennis couldn’t help but know the stakes.

The Glen Allen girls held a 1.5-point advantage over Highland Springs heading into the event and finished one place behind the Springers in the race to claim victory by half a point. J.R. Tucker’s Kendra Smither passed Highland Springs’ Kemari Jennings in the final stretch of the race to put Highland Springs in third and Glen Allen in fourth.

“My heart just sank. I think that moment froze for me and I was watching it frame by frame,” Ennis said. “It was definitely slow motion. Even after, there was a moment of disbelief.”

Highland Springs held a steady lead throughout the

field with 63 points.

afternoon, but as the competition turned to the longer runs, Glen Allen began to build points with high finishes, including a win in the 1,600 by Ashley Henneberger. Henneberger set a personal best with a 5:15.45 run.

“I went into the 1,600 really wanting a PR today, especial-

ly because it was really good weather and it is an outdoor track,” she said. “We went out super fast and it ended up working well for me.”

Glen Allen would take the lead after the 3,200-meter run, where Henneberger finished third and Lauren Massey finished seventh. Highland Springs

didn’t have an athlete in the event, giving the host school enough points to make the jump to first place heading into the relay.

“Before the 3,200 I went up to the girls and said look, this is how many we’re behind, this is what we need to get and how we’re going to maximize it,”

Fifth place 106: Alves (Brooke Point)

Ennis said.

On the boys side, L.C. Bird used dominant finishes in the 300 dash and 500 run and an overturned decision in the 800 relay to claim victory. Following the conclusion of the relay, won

by L.C. Bird, judges initially ruled than an exchange during the race was not clean, resulting in a disqualification. However, following an appeal from coach Adam Canning, the decision was reversed, giving L.C. Bird 10 points and a boost into first place over Highland Springs and Atlee.

“Revising the relay was a great moment,” said L.C. Bird runner Aaron Lewis. “We were devastated to lose those 10 points as close as the standings were. It was a great moment of joy to get those 10 points back.”

With the victory reinstated, L.C. Bird got a sixth-place finish from Jacob Plummer in the 3,200 run to give an insurmountable lead heading into the 1,600 relay, which Bird won anyway.

Josiah and Jeremiah Hill were dominant for Bird, finishing first and second, respectively, in the 300 and 500 races and competing on both winning relay teams while Lewis finished fifth in both races individual races.

“They’ve just been killing it in practice,” Canning said of his runners. “They’re all top-notch athletes. When it came down to it, they’re just hungry.”

Atlee’s boys finished second with 100 points and the Raider girls finished third. Atlee head coach Tyler Busch was pleased with the Raiders’ results.

“We exceeded all of our expectations from today,” Busch said. “So we were exceedingly pumped with that. Overachieving in different events: events that we weren’t expecting to score in, we score five points; or in events we expect to score

The Mechanicsville Local

two, we score eight. That was a lot of fun to see that happening.”

The Raider boys’ score was boosted by a win by their 3,200 relay team of Conor Helmick, David Martin, Matthew Heldmann and Ian Sellors. The runners finished in 8:14.10.

William Chapman won the pole vault with a 16-foot effort.

Cason Gardner took seconds in the high jump and long jump, while Kameron Helmlinger finished second in the 1,000 and 1,600 runs. Garder was also part of Atlee’s second-place 800 relay team with Ryan Konecny, Omar Bryson and Ahmad Richardson.

The Raider girls were led by their 800 relay team of Maddie Radolinski, Lauren Fescina, Dorian Gaines and Jada Lyons, which finished second.

Individually, Cabell Franklin in the 1,600 run and Rachel Mudd finished second in the 3,200.

The Lee-Davis boys finished fifth and girls finished sixth.

Jack Ikenberry had the best finish on the Confederate boys’ side with a second-place time in the 3,200 run.

The Lee-Davis girls had two winners: Alyssa Rice in the pole vault with an 11-foot vault, and Megan Mann in the shot put with a 38-feet, 8-inch throw.

Lee-Davis head coach Neil Mathews was especially pleased with the performance of his girls team.

“Our girls had a great meet,” Mathews said. “They won the pole vault – Alyssa Rice. They won the shot put – Megan Mann. … Lauren Taylor, our starting shortstop, had an amazing meet. She was fourth in the hurdles, scored in the triple jump, scored in the long jump. … We’re in a good spot.”
