Marks Family Dentistry Happy Spring!

Lee Nelson raising funds to help MS; walk scheduled for May 5

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

“For years you have taken care of my dental needs and most recently the most severe pain I’ve ever had. Your kindness and compassion in caring for me was extraordinary. You made me feel like family. I just wanted to express my gratitude for all that you do.”

Kara Mechanicsville, VA March 29, 2018

“I had excellent service. Dr. Marks was very good and took the time to explain matters.

The hygienist and dental assistant were excellent, very caring. Very good at what they did.”

Andrew Mechanicsville, VA March 28, 2018

“My hygienist provided an excellent explanation of x-ray results, suggestions to help my gum problem and a thorough cleaning. Dr. Marks, as always, asked the right questions in his own personal manner.

Warm, friendly, helpful office staff ended my appointment. See you in October.”

MECHANICSVILLE – When Lee Nelson takes part in her 18th Walk MS next month, she will be supporting the fundraiser without her husband Dana who succumbed to the disease on March 20, 2017.

As a top fundraiser, Lee said she has been invited to the National MS (Muscular Sclerosis) Society’s Tour of Champions, a gathering of top fundraisers from the Southeast region for Walk MS, Bike MS, and Challenge Walk MS. The Saturday, May 5, event will begin with check-in starting at 8:30 a.m. The walk gets underway at 10 a.m. at Innsbrook at 4200 Innslake Dr. in Richmond. It wraps up at the same location.

“Being surrounded by 76 top fundraisers was an amazing experience,” she said.” Each person raised at least $7,000 in order to be invited to this event.

Collectively, we raised almost $900,000!”

This year, they have a goal of $1 million.

“The passion, the commitment, the dedication that this group of people has was evident in the stories shared,” Lee said.

“It was inspiring to spend time

with people who are fiercely passionate about finding a cure.

My weekend in Savannah was spent meeting new people, networking, and sharing ideas.

Hearing everyone’s stories was so inspirational. As one participant said, ‘We arrived as strangers and left as family!’ ” Lee said the experience brought her home “so inspired and ready to raise the bar with Team Hanover’s fundraising.”

She said Dana “was always optimistic that a cure for

Primary Progressive MS would be found in his lifetime.”

Lee research “is moving forward and a new drug was approved last spring. This is why I walk and fundraise . . .to do what I can to find a cure for MS. My goal this year is $10,000. Over the past several years, you have helped me personally raise over $51,000 and Team Hanover almost $100,000,” she said.

She encourages the community to join her in supporting

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor

Kids looking out for their future aren’t a threat

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor While some adults have taken to social media and other outlets to air their holier-than-thou attitudes about students around the globe stepping up to seek solutions to the issue of gun violence.

Before anybody jumps up and starts badmouthing me, I am not anti-gun. As I’ve stated repeatedly, I was raised in a home in which my father kept pistols and rifles. He was a member of the NRA. That being said, I can’t imagine how parents feel today when their children get on the bus to head to school. Will they return? What will trigger a current or former student or someone without any ties to the school to enter with an assault weapon and unleash terror?

When I think back to my high school years, I’d like to think my classmates would have been as passionate and active as the students of Parkland, Florida, have been since that horrific Valentine’s Day incident.

Don’t be dismissive because they’re teenagers.

They’re trying to make the future better for their generation. When they have taken to the streets to express their views, those addressing the throngs of supporters have been articulate and prepared with their comments.

I’ve read and listened in awe as these young people have made themselves heard. I expect their voices will have a significant impact on this year’s elections. Again, don’t be dismissive of what they can do for the country, which, by the way, is their country too.

As we continue to hear the term “Fake News,” consider the sources of where it’s coming from and how it’s being used to manipulate those who will succumb to whatever is said.

I find it unbelievable that a so-called TV commentator criticized one of the more vocal Parkland students about his college future. I can’t even find a word to describe someone who would bully a young man who survived a massacre.

Just because you’re over 30 doesn’t mean you have all the answers. Are you even listening to the questions? Are you trying to make a difference?

This is a nationwide concern. We are so fortunate to live in a safe county with leaders being ever-mindful of the schools. But we need to help and support those students who have suffered losses and witnessed the horrors of these shootings.

Nation continues to travel a long road to equality

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist As we prepare to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s death, it’s the perfect opportunity to take a personal inventory of our personal and public race relations.

Where exactly do we stand when it comes to racial harmony, and how far have we come? More importantly, it’s a chance to evaluate just how far we

have to go as a nation when it comes to equality and fairness.

As a child, I grew up in a city where racial lines were clearly drawn, and there was a separate but unequal status quo that seemed impenetrable.

In the early 1950s, that mood changed in Montgomery, Alabama, and the city became a focal point for racial inequities. The driving force behind that movement was a young minister named Martin Luther King,

Jr., who called for change from his Dexter Avenue pulpit.

Even with the frequent marches on weekends, and limited boycotts, life went on in Montgomery and the strife of the day had little influence on our daily lives.

On some Saturdays, we gathered as a group of curious children and made the short trek to downtown Montgomery and stood on Dexter Avenue as the protest marches con-

tinued.

An occasional firecracker would interrupt the unified voices of the protest, but the mood was largely non confrontational and forgiving.

I took special note of the nuns and priests who marched with the protesters signaling their solidarity in the fight.

Terrible advice for high school seniors

By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News Dear High School Senior, As you approach the end of your high school years, many of you are likely finalizing the next steps you will take on the path to a fully independent and satisfying adult life. And, for a good number of you, that means deciding where you will go to college.

You are probably well aware that choosing a college is no laughing matter. You must pick exactly the right college for you, one that fits you perfectly and will provide you with the kind of collegiate experience you have always pictured in your head (or seen on the front of every single college brochure).

The consequences should you fail to do this could be dire, up to and including: • Temporary confusion • Being forced to adjust to circumstances for which you are not totally prepared • Accepting the realization that sometimes what you didn’t expect turns out to be exactly what you needed ----Dear High School Senior, Once you have selected your perfect college, it will soon be time to choose the one subject that you will totally and completely devote yourself to for the next four years: your major.

Please be advised, you must make this decision quickly, and you must get it right the first time. Dillydallying, or accidentally picking the wrong major could lead to: Having to admit you messed up Learning to start over

ing them to Atlee High School at 9414 Atlee Station Rd. in Mechanicsville.

On Thursday, three members of the team talked about the competitions and fundraising efforts as they prepare to head to Detroit for the April 25 FRC (First Robotics Competition).

ple thousand, but that’s just helping get us there,� Maria added.

Team Circuitree involves all four grades at Atlee – freshmen through seniors. There are 61 members, with nine planning for the Detroit competition.

To attain the pinnacle of going to the world competition, the Atlee team took part in two regional events. The first was held at Deep Run High School; the second was scheduled for Blacksburg High School but

event followed at the University of Maryland in College Park.

As they get ready for the world competition, Maria said there will be “a lot of teams from Israel.� Junior Sabrina Chin said 60-plus nations will be represented.

With a smile of pride, Tyler pointed out that this is the first time that Atlee has ever qualified for the world event. Maria added that they are the only HCPS school to reach that level.

Samuel Kentner was the team’s original sponsor and club mentor. Thomas Larson now handles those responsibilities. He is assisted by physics teacher Ian McPhipps and shop instructor David Balderson.

Circuitree, Tyler said, “built a robot and we named it Splinter

and that’s because of all the metal shavings and jagged edges it has. We’ve had to remove a couple splinters from people’s fingers and things like that.�

The Circuitree logo featured “the general like tree design,�

Sabrina said, “which was made a few years ago. My friend Kolton Peyton and I added the Mario Warp Pipe.� “We designed this robot to be able to pick up like cubes, which are the size of a milk crate because they are a milk crate but they’re covered, and to be able to place them up 7 feet in the air and place them on a platform,� Tyler said.

He was quick to point out that it was not inexpensive to build Splinter. The cost was about $3,000.

Other funds the team faces in competitions are registration, which can range from $4,000 to $5,000 per event. “It’s a very expensive club to partake in so we’ve just got to be careful not to spend all of our resources,� Tyler said.

He did say the cost analysis a little different than the actual cost. “The amount of money we actually spent this year was $2,000, with the actual cost being $3,000.� He said they have to “factor in parts that we already have or you receive from the FRC.�

For those who may consider donating to the Atlee High School Robotics Boosters Club, Maria said it is a 501(c)(3) taxsee ROBOTICS, pg. 21

church in the march,” I quietly exclaimed to my cousin.

An angry man standing directly behind us made a hasty and stern reply as he looked directly in my eyes.

“Those aren’t real nuns.

They are protesters dressed up like nuns,” the man said in an agitated voice.

For years, I never questioned his assertions, but the statement always remained in my mind as I watched other protests in other venues over the years.

As I listen to my children, I realize that time indeed, is the great equalizer, and the years between today and those Saturdays in Montgomery have erased or hidden much of the hatefulness … but not all.

It’s reassuring when I hear my children speak of their classmates, never reverting to racial descriptions or stereotypes to describe their classmates. Their evolving minds are absent the

misguided stereotypes I grew up with as a child, and watched personified by adults for most of my life.

It’s a wonderful evolution to witness, as a silent observer who takes some pride in their attitudes and lack of natural racism. Different is not a negative concept to them, and discrimination is something they don’t know exists in America.

Sadly, not everyone got the memo, and the advances of Civil Rights and equality for all Americans still evokes hostility and resentment in some minds.

Even more devastating is the way these hatreds are passed down through generations, a learned behavior that perpetuates of atmosphere of inequality and racial tension.

And while many consider that racism in America was a problem long ago solved, the simple reality is that equality in America still has a long way to go.

For years, I’ve heard folks

Stone will get you

from my generation justify their racism by claiming they are victims of a generational phenomenon making them incapable of true change.

Some minds won’t be changed, but equality is a vision that has no beginning or end and represents a battle that is ongoing in our nation.

And one day, that vision of equal rights for all Americans will be a reality, and the ignorance of racism and bigotry will only survive in the minds of a few.

But, the mission of racial harmony is an ongoing assignment that requires constant vigilance to prevent situations like the ones many of us witnessed in the all to recent past.

Unrest on American streets reminds us all there is still work to be done.

For many Americans, real racial harmony and equality can’t come fast enough.

In the meantime, many of us will continue to keep our eyes on the prize.

important, but eventually you will have to make an even bigger pick: your career! This is that one thing that you will do from the time you leave college to the day you retire, so you better be sure to nail it the first time out. The world can be scary and unpredictable, so choose a conventional career path with minimal risk (save the “creative stuff” for a hobby).

Sure, you could try your hand at several different things over the course of the next 40-plus years, but studies have shown that having more than one career can be directly linked to:

Improved happiness and personal satisfaction

Self discovery and growth The realization that you control your own destiny and that life — and time -- are far too precious to waste, and that you should do, see, listen, feel, love, and learn as much as you can, in whatever way you can, until you run out of both.

op essential skills as they gain a deep knowledge of the sciences.

At Randolph-Macon, students are provided with opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom to learn while developing and refining critical thinking skills, problem solving abilities, and excellent communication skills. These are the hallmarks of a Randolph-Macon education, and will be a key component of the BSN program.

Dr. Susan Parker, R-MC Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, who has spearheaded the nursing initiative, said, "What will make our BSN program distinctive is the combination of an outstanding nursing program with a robust liberal arts curriculum and a residential experience. Our nursing students — like all of our students — will enjoy the full college experience, including opportunities to participate in athletics, campus activities, Greek life, internships, ground-breaking research, our study-abroad program, and more. Nursing students will be a vital part of our residential campus community."

Parker said R-MC also is looking forward to building on its existing partnerships with two major healthcare pro-

viders, Bon Secours Health System Inc. and HCA (Hospital Corporation of America).

"These relationships will provide a wealth of opportunities for our students," said Parker.

"They will be able to explore and experience the diverse roles of nurses throughout various healthcare delivery systems and settings and gain invaluable hands-on experience and future career opportunities."

(Editor’s note: The following is published courtesy of Randolph-Macon College.)

ASHLAND -- RandolphMacon College President Robert R. Lindgren is pleased to announce that the college has formally submitted its application to establish a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program to the Virginia Board of Nursing.

The nursing program application is now pending Board of Nursing approval. This step is critical towards the formation of this new program, proposed to begin in fall 2019.

"The BSN program will be a powerful academic offering for our students," Lindgren said.

"There is enormous enthusiasm at the college for the establishment of this program. In March, our college faculty voted unanimously in favor of approving the degree and nursing curriculum. I have no doubt that nurses who are educated at RandolphMacon College will be exceptionally well-equipped to enter the healthcare arena and become leaders in their profession."

The establishment of the nursing program, and the new state-of-the-art nursing building that will be constructed by fall 2019, is covered fully by private alumni donations.

Randolph-Macon College alumni are among the most loyal in the nation, ranking R-MC 20th last year out of over 3,000 public and private institutions for alumni loyalty.

Living and Learning at R-MC The new nursing major and BSN degree will be an outstanding complement to the college's over 54 current academic offerings. The program will integrate the college’s liberal arts tradition as it prepares students to work as collaborative members of interdisciplinary healthcare teams.

Kendra Anderson’s kindergarten class at Pole Green Elementary School has been collecting postcards from across the United States as a class project. She said they were “finally able to get at least one post card from every state! It was a very fun project, the people that sent in post cards sent in facts about their state so our students learned a lot of interesting facts all of the states. We also kept tally marks for each post card we received to see which state had the most post cards at the end of the project. The students really had a lot of fun with this project! We are still hoping to get more postcards!” Anderson’s kindergarten assistant, Jenny Kusnerik, has been helping her with the collections.

Bluemont announces termination of programs Staff Report news@mechlocal.com

The Kiwanis Club of Ashland recently honored Joe Stiles (posthumously), Andy Stiles, Eddie Stiles and Jack Luck by presenting the club’s Legacy of Service Award to them for almost 170 combined years of service to the community and the community’s children. The recognition took place during the club’s last dinner meeting. The club also celebrated its 95th birthday at the dinner meeting, which was attended by most of its members and spouses. It was described by one member as “Quite a celebration of many years of service to the Town of Ashland and surrounding Hanover communities.”

Lauterbach named Top Agent of the Year at Weichert

Bluemont announces termination of programs BERRYVILLE – Effective June 30, the Bluemont Concert Series programs and administrative operations will be terminated following a decision by the Board of Directors.

After a series of planning sessions over the past 18 months, the board agreed that the nonprofit Bluemont Concert Series as currently organized lacked the financial footing to continue.

Since 1976, Bluemont’s unique public/private partnership has been a part of the cultural fabric of 34 Virginia communities. It has presented more than 9,648 cultural programs in local schools, nursing homes, special events and summer concerts to 3.2 million families and visitors.

Bluemont’s extraordinary cultural legacy was built on the generous support of local government and private donor

ASHLAND – Weichert, Realtors® - Home Run Realty, located in Ashland, has announced that realtor Ann Lauterbach has been named the company’s 2017 Top Agent of the Year.

“We are immensely proud of our history over the past 41 years and treasure the many wonderful memories created by quality entertainment and cultural enrichment that we were so fortunate to present,” the board said.

The Taters performed last August during the 2017 season of the Bluemont Concert Series in Ashland.

In an ongoing attempt to maintain its popular cultural programs, Bluemont has been actively engaged in reactive downsizing for the past 10 years. Traditional funding from state and local government appropriations has been steadily reduced from $263,000 in FY2008 to $59,434 in FY2018.

Bluemont strived to maintain community programs while offsetting the funding deficit each year by cutting costs and seeking other sources of revenue.

“While we continue to believe that music and art are critical to a well-rounded education, and vital to our beloved communities, our programs require resources to operate,” the board added. “Despite a storied 40-plus year history, and ongoing conscientious budgeting, our resources have been exhausted.”

Effective Jan. 1, the Bluemont Board of Directors, with great reluctance, released Lily Dunning Widman, its

award-winning executive director, and her staff.

The board extended its appreciation of Widman’s “outstanding professional service and we wish her much success in her future endeavors. She and her staff gave countless hours to make Bluemont truly special and their commitment to excellence is to be commended.”

Bluemont began in 1976 as a series of concerts and old-time country dances in the Bluemont community but grew to include regional cultural programming in many Virginia communities such as its Artists In Education, Healthcare Outreach in nursing homes, and various other music, theatre, and dance special events.

Bluemont stepped in to fill this important need when school budgets in the cultural programs were non-existent.

“We built support for the programs through the years and have been blessed to share our passion for the arts with young see BLUEMONT, pg. 17

Programs like Bluemont do not exist without leaders and visionaries.

The Bluemont board’s recognition and appreciation for its many volunteers and sponsors cannot be adequately expressed in words.

“We are mindful that without their commitment and energy, Bluemont would have never existed and flourished for over 40 years. They have given more to the heart, soul and vitality of Virginia than they know,” board members added.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to fulfill the Bluemont mission by helping to build our cultural programs for the people in our communities. We thank everyone for their support over the years, and will continue to treasure fond memories of families singing, dancing and sharing art in their own community,” the members said.

Presented by:

HANOVER -- Every year, beginning April 1 through June 30, it is unlawful for dogs anywhere in Hanover County to be running off their property without being leashed.

The county’s “leash law” applies throughout the year in the suburban area.

Between April 1 and June 30, it is extended to the rural areas as well because the births of vulnerable livestock, such as baby lambs and calves, tend to take place during this period.

Wildlife activity and rabies cases also generally increase in the April 1 to June 30 time frame.

Any dogs caught running off their owner’s property will be impounded.

Impoundment fees are $25 for the first violation and an additional $10 for each subsequent violation within a 12-month period, including a $5 per day boarding fee.

Violations also can result in uniform summons or a written warning being issued.

Each instance of a dog belonging to a particular owner running at-large is a separate violation, and an additional penalty will apply regardless of whether the same dog is involved.

If you see a dog running at large, call Hanover County Emergency Communications at 804-365-6140.

Any dangerous animal can be reported by dialing 911 for immediate assistance, 24/7.

For more information about Hanover County’s running atlarge laws, call Animal Control at 804-365-6485.

Dogs cannot run off their owner’s property at any time of year without a current county license tag affixed to their collar.

She also said she likes to collaborate and work on a team. “Robotics is something I was just really interested in. I either want to be like an aero-

starting deputies are making more than seasoned veterans, due to the lack of funding for merit and longevity raises in past years. “In the Sheriff ’s Office, they have patrol officers who have been recently hired and are making as much or more as some of the deputies who have been there for a number of years,� Cook said.� They have

sergeants who are making as much as lieutenants . . . You can see the inequity in that.�

He said the City of Richmond is facing a $6 million compression problem, and urged the Hanover County Board of Supervisors to address a problem that is already present and growing in the county’s sheriff’s office as well as other departments.

“This problem has been building for many years and if we don’t deal with it will become a monster that we will have a difficult time overcoming,� Cook said. “We don’t expect you to address this in one fatal swoop,� the former sheriff said. “What I am asking is that the board take a look at this and put a plan into

place with the county administrator so this can be dealt with over a period of time.�

The former sheriff said about $400,000 would be required to rectify the compression problem in the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office. That figure does not address similar problems in other departments like Fire/EMS and schools.

Ashland Volunteer Fire Chief Phillip Hutchinson urged supervisors to approve the FY2019 budget tempered with a forecast of future Fire/EMS needs.

Hutchinson said a five-year staffing plan and equipment allowances contained in the CIP (Capital Improvement Plan) are critical to the department main-

I just thought it would be an opportunity to increase my knowledge and develop some of those engineering skills.�

He became involved with Circuitree last year.

With graduation fast

approaching, he said he is “either planning on majoring in environmental science or environmental engineering at Virginia Tech or the University of Vermont.�

Maria started taking computer design classes her freshman year. “By the time I had gotten to my junior year I was already certified in a couple of programs, and I was looking for ways to use my certifications,� she said.

She said she was talking

to McPhipps who asked her, “Why don’t you join the robotics team? I help with that a lot.�

Maria attended a meeting and started the CAD (Computer-Aided Design).

Like Tyler, she will be gradu-

ating in June.

Maria said, “I am hoping to become an aerospace engineer. I was actually admitted and have now accepted at Virginia Tech for their engineering school.�

Circuitree has accomplished

a major feat as the journey now takes the team to Detroit and the possibility of a world title. April 25 is a mere two weeks away, so those wishing to help the team with finances are encouraged to do so as soon as possible.

taining its critical edge.

He also addressed future staffing needs.

“The day is nearing when I believe all stations across the county must have 24/7 coverage, both in fire and EMS,” Hutchinson said.

Currently, the county crossstaffs at five stations, meaning some crews serve multiple stations.

Hutchinson urged the board to add one to two positions a year in addition to the three to six allotted in the five-year staffing plan.

Bob Nelson addressed the removal of funds for the Atlee Station Road widening project, delaying the start of the project for two years.

Currently, more than 900 unoccupied residential lots have been approved along the

corridor, and Nelson said the improvement should have remained unchanged in the new Capital Improvement Plan.

Those funds were removed and placed in funding for Pole Green Road improvements.

The proposed FY2019 CIP eliminated $1 million from approved funding for the Atlee Station Road widening.

The proposed CIP calls for the design phase for Atlee Road to begin in 2023.

“This year, the proposed CIP reveals a moratorium on widening Atlee Station Road.

The message is clear — rezoning for developers and road moratoriums for citizens,” Nelson said.

Ashland resident Rachel Levy delivered a renewed request for more funding for local schools and a restoration of pre-recession level spending, noting the need for renovation

and replacement of aging facilities.

“You don’t have a great school system without sufficient funding,” Levy said.

“Unfortunately, we haven’t had sufficient funding since the recession and there has been a slow erosion of quality and services offered.”

She also revealed figures that could indicate a top-heavy salary scale for county administration, noting that recently revealed salary figures show the system rewards its highestranking employees at a higher pay scale than many of its neighboring systems.

According to Levy, who gathered her numbers from recent Richmond TimesDispatch listings of government officials and their salaries, most counties pay their top position holders approximately two to three times the median salary, Hanover’s top earners are

compensated at five times the median.

“If we don’t have money to pay our teachers and other staff what we should, then how is it we have it for such high salaries at the top? Something is not adding up,” Levy said.

John Szewczyk is an advisor to the Hanover Professional Educators and spoke in support of the FY2019 budget, a proposal that includes a 2 percent increase for all employees and the continuance of an aggressive five-year technology plan.

He urged supervisors to utilize any additional funds that might be forthcoming as the Commonwealth finalizes its final budget to further compensate the county’s teachers.

A Cold Harbor resident spoke against the inclusion of $3.1 million in the budget for the recently named Elton Wade Sr. Park at Cold Harbor.

After moving to Cold Harbor to escape growing congestion in the Suburban Service Area (SSA), the father of a special needs father said the park will destroy the tranquility he sought for his son’s well-being.

He likened the project to a sports complex with few traditional park amenities, designed and built to attract large tournaments to the county akin to events currently held in Northern Virginia.

Community Services Board (CSB) chair Scott Bateman also urged supervisors to approve the FY2019 proposed budget, citing its impact on the board’s ability to provide services for an increasing number of clients in the county.

The board continues its consideration of the budget with adoption anticipated at its upcoming meeting on April 11.

Community pancake breakfast set Staff Report news@mechlocal.com HANOVER -- A community pancake breakfast will be held from 8 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 14, at the Hillcrest Baptist Church at 11342 Hillcrest Rd. in Hanover.

County teams fare well in busy baseball week

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor Most prep sports took a competitive holiday over spring break last week, but Hanover County’s baseball teams stayed busy. All four teams played at least one game, with Lee-Davis, participating in a tournament at Deep Run, took the field three times.

Not only were they busy.

All four teams were successful, too, improving their standings in the win/loss column.

Patrick Henry ASHLAND – Patrick Henry got off to a slow start Friday against Louisa pitcher Liam Grubbs, a Division I commit who will play for James Madison next year, but they recovered sufficiently to send him packing in the fifth inning Friday after Trey Taylor connected for a three-run home run to tie the game 4-4.

After that, the Patriots steamrolled the Lions in a 12-4 win, tagging reliever Austin Nicholas for eight runs – though a shaky Lion defense contributed to the outcome with five errors. In fact, only two of Grubbs’ runs and two of Nicholas runs were earned.

Taylor said he was just looking to “square up the ball and get on base.”

He ended up taking advantage of what he was given,

Patrick Henry’s Trey Taylor (8) launches a three-run home run to tie the game in the fifth inning of a 12-4 win over Louisa Friday.

despite what he was expecting based on the count.

“I was looking more for a curve ball because it was 1-and2,” Taylor said. “But he threw a fast ball and I squared it up. …

It felt good.”

Patrick Henry head coach Sam Hart was pleased with his team’s resilience.

“We competed today,” Hart said. “We lost a tough ball game to them last Thursday, that I thought we actually deserved to win. We didn’t swing the bats as well, but we did a lot of things offensively to get ourselves in a position to win the ball game – we just didn’t take advantage of them.

“Today we kind of fell behind, but I’m proud of the way we fought back after doing that.”

The Patriots had a number of multiple-hit performances.

Noah Zook was 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI. Cameron Reed went 2-for-2 with one run scored and

two RBI. Timmy Matthews and Austin Odell each went 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Odell also had a double while Matthews also had an RBI. Chase Mills went 2-for-5 with a run scored.

Lee-Davis GLEN ALLEN – The Confederates stumbled against

Benedictine 11-1 on the second day of the tournament, which began Monday, but given that Benedictine was the top-ranked team in the metro area, head coach Tyler Johnson wasn’t terribly surprised.

The main things were that they won their opener against Monacan 6-1 Monday and defeated Grassfield 6-0 in the third-place Wednesday.

“Going into spring break, we wanted to get to .500 or better for our overall record, and we ended up 3-3,” Johnson said.

“We knew [Benedictine] was going to be a tough battle, but I’m glad we came out 2-1 [in the tournament]. I’m pretty happy.”

The Confederates lost most of their pitching depth to grad-

Senior slugger helps Yellow Jackets sweep Wasps

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Randolph-Macon senior Harley Jones comes home with a big smile after her game-tying three-run home run in the sixth inning of the Yellow Jackets’ 7-6 victory over visiting Emory & Henry in a nine-inning contest Sunday. Randolph-Macon won the opener 3-0.

BASEBALL Continued from pg. 27

uation last year. This year, they have relied heavily on two freshman, Brett Allen – who went the distance against Grassfield – and Jalen Strattman. Strattman got them off to a good start, giving them five innings against Monacan. Strattman also went 2-for-3 with two RBI. “He threw a lot of strikes – very efficient,” Johnson said.

“He could have kept going, but he was kind of at that 80-pitch mark. … He did an awesome job for his first varsity start.”

Hanover MECHANICSVILLE – The Hawks planned a pair of games

last week, but the weather Saturday spoiled a chance to host Miller School. But they began the week with a 9-2 win over visiting Hickory Tuesday.

Nick Zona went 2-of-4 with two RBI against Hickory. Colby Hutnam was 2-of-3 with a run and an RBI and Michael Warley was 2-of-4 with a run and an RBI. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the third when the Hawks scored three runs. Will Lopez opened the inning with a walk, followed by a single by Jack Dragum.

One out later, Camden Grimes walked to load the bases, and Lopez scored on a passed ball.

Warley singled in Dragum and Grimes stole home.

in coming for Hanover, which has been plagued by nagging injuries all season long and has had to rely on small ball to get what production it can.

“We’ve gotten off to a slow start … but I think we’re getting better,” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum. “At some point, we’ll start swinging the bats better.”

Atlee MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee took advantage of an eight-run first inning to thrash visiting Massaponax 12-2 Thursday.

Ironically, only one of the Panthers’ six errors were committed in that eight-run inning.

Tucker Bratton opened with a walk. Nick Carlo singled, and

Zach Beach doubled Bratton and Carlo in. J.T. Fitzpatrick and Tyler Warren hit back-toback singles, with Fitzpatrick driving in Beach. Fitzpatrick subsequently scored on backto-back wild pitches to make it 4-0.

Hayden Harris walked. Eric Haynes singled in Warren, while Harris advanced to third. Brian Rollison sacrificed in Harris and Jayce Catterton walked. Back at the top of the order, Bratton grounded into a fielder’s choice that retired Haynes at home plate, then Carlo hit a double that scored Catterton and Bratton to make it 8-0.

Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

ASHLAND – RandolphMacon’s bid for a doubleheader sweep of Old Dominion Athletic Conference rival Emory & Henry looked unlikely as the Yellow Jackets entered the sixth inning of the nightcap at Randolph-Macon Sunday.

With one swing of the bat, the Yellow Jackets gave themselves the jolt they needed to tie the game and send it to extra innings where, in the ninth inning, Shelby Hill doubled in Sami Davidson to end the game in a 7-6 Randolph-Macon win.

After scoring a pair of runs in the second inning of the nightcap, Randolph-Macon fell behind in the next inning when starting pitcher Madie Rhoads, a freshman, gave up a pair of home runs: a three-run shot by Courtney Herron and a two-run shot by Caley Hodge.

Another freshman pitcher, Kayley Scott, came in for the duration, yielding just one run and striking out seven in 6 1/3

innings of relief.

“I knew that my team had my back and I came in with a lot of confidence,” said Scott, a Lee-Davis graduate who helps herself in the confidence department. “I like to talk to myself in my glove to give myself positive vibes.”

Both teams scored a run in their respective portions of the fifth inning. But RandolphMacon’s comeback was hampered by baserunning mistakes.

Still, they had two baserunners reach on walks when senior Harley Jones, on her senior day, stepped up to the plate.

She had struck out previously on Wasp pitcher Cameron Derr’s rise ball, and was ready for what she was about to receive.

“She had thrown it to me twice,” Jones said. “I wasn’t going to let her throw it to me a third time and whiff.”

Randolph-Macon junior Candace Whittemore struck out 12 Wasps and walked none to lead the Yellow Jackets to a 3-0 victory in the opener.

We are here to meet your stone and bronze memorial needs.

MECHANICSVILLE -- The Covenant Woods Continuing Care Retirement Community Board of Directors elected its 2018-2019 members at its March 28 meeting.

The senior living community in Hanover County has named Michael C. Carter as chairman of the board, Emily “Mimi” Coogan Bennett as vice chairman, and Michael Reynold as secretary. Jack Baynum will serve on the board during his second year as the Covenant Woods Resident Council chairman.

Carter is a graduate of Randolph-Macon College and the University of Virginia. He enjoyed a 37-year career in education, first as a history and geography teacher and then as a professional fundraiser for Randolph-Macon College.

Bennett is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University where she received

her Master’s Degree, as well as certificate from OB/GYN Nursing Practitioner program, and her Bachelor’s Degree in nursing. Bennett is a licensed registered nurse, as well as a Virginia nurse practitioner and has her NCC certification as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner.

Marks Family Dentistry Happy Spring!

Lee Nelson raising funds to help MS; walk scheduled for May 5

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

“For years you have taken care of my dental needs and most recently the most severe pain I’ve ever had. Your kindness and compassion in caring for me was extraordinary. You made me feel like family. I just wanted to express my gratitude for all that you do.”

Kara Mechanicsville, VA March 29, 2018

“I had excellent service. Dr. Marks was very good and took the time to explain matters.

The hygienist and dental assistant were excellent, very caring. Very good at what they did.”

Andrew Mechanicsville, VA March 28, 2018

“My hygienist provided an excellent explanation of x-ray results, suggestions to help my gum problem and a thorough cleaning. Dr. Marks, as always, asked the right questions in his own personal manner.

Warm, friendly, helpful office staff ended my appointment. See you in October.”

MECHANICSVILLE – When Lee Nelson takes part in her 18th Walk MS next month, she will be supporting the fundraiser without her husband Dana who succumbed to the disease on March 20, 2017.

As a top fundraiser, Lee said she has been invited to the National MS (Muscular Sclerosis) Society’s Tour of Champions, a gathering of top fundraisers from the Southeast region for Walk MS, Bike MS, and Challenge Walk MS. The Saturday, May 5, event will begin with check-in starting at 8:30 a.m. The walk gets underway at 10 a.m. at Innsbrook at 4200 Innslake Dr. in Richmond. It wraps up at the same location.

“Being surrounded by 76 top fundraisers was an amazing experience,” she said.” Each person raised at least $7,000 in order to be invited to this event.

Collectively, we raised almost $900,000!”

This year, they have a goal of $1 million.

“The passion, the commitment, the dedication that this group of people has was evident in the stories shared,” Lee said.

“It was inspiring to spend time

with people who are fiercely passionate about finding a cure.

My weekend in Savannah was spent meeting new people, networking, and sharing ideas.

Hearing everyone’s stories was so inspirational. As one participant said, ‘We arrived as strangers and left as family!’ ” Lee said the experience brought her home “so inspired and ready to raise the bar with Team Hanover’s fundraising.”

She said Dana “was always optimistic that a cure for

Primary Progressive MS would be found in his lifetime.”

Lee research “is moving forward and a new drug was approved last spring. This is why I walk and fundraise . . .to do what I can to find a cure for MS. My goal this year is $10,000. Over the past several years, you have helped me personally raise over $51,000 and Team Hanover almost $100,000,” she said.

She encourages the community to join her in supporting

OPINION

| The Local Views From the managing editor

Kids looking out for their future aren’t a threat

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor While some adults have taken to social media and other outlets to air their holier-than-thou attitudes about students around the globe stepping up to seek solutions to the issue of gun violence.

Before anybody jumps up and starts badmouthing me, I am not anti-gun. As I’ve stated repeatedly, I was raised in a home in which my father kept pistols and rifles. He was a member of the NRA. That being said, I can’t imagine how parents feel today when their children get on the bus to head to school. Will they return? What will trigger a current or former student or someone without any ties to the school to enter with an assault weapon and unleash terror?

When I think back to my high school years, I’d like to think my classmates would have been as passionate and active as the students of Parkland, Florida, have been since that horrific Valentine’s Day incident.

Don’t be dismissive because they’re teenagers.

They’re trying to make the future better for their generation. When they have taken to the streets to express their views, those addressing the throngs of supporters have been articulate and prepared with their comments.

I’ve read and listened in awe as these young people have made themselves heard. I expect their voices will have a significant impact on this year’s elections. Again, don’t be dismissive of what they can do for the country, which, by the way, is their country too.

As we continue to hear the term “Fake News,” consider the sources of where it’s coming from and how it’s being used to manipulate those who will succumb to whatever is said.

I find it unbelievable that a so-called TV commentator criticized one of the more vocal Parkland students about his college future. I can’t even find a word to describe someone who would bully a young man who survived a massacre.

Just because you’re over 30 doesn’t mean you have all the answers. Are you even listening to the questions? Are you trying to make a difference?

This is a nationwide concern. We are so fortunate to live in a safe county with leaders being ever-mindful of the schools. But we need to help and support those students who have suffered losses and witnessed the horrors of these shootings.

Nation continues to travel a long road to equality

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

As we prepare to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s death, it’s the perfect opportunity to take a personal inventory of our personal and public race relations.

Where exactly do we stand when it comes to racial harmony, and how far have we come? More importantly, it’s a chance to evaluate just how far we

have to go as a nation when it comes to equality and fairness.

As a child, I grew up in a city where racial lines were clearly drawn, and there was a separate but unequal status quo that seemed impenetrable.

In the early 1950s, that mood changed in Montgomery, Alabama, and the city became a focal point for racial inequities. The driving force behind that movement was a young minister named Martin Luther King,

Jr., who called for change from his Dexter Avenue pulpit.

Even with the frequent marches on weekends, and limited boycotts, life went on in Montgomery and the strife of the day had little influence on our daily lives.

On some Saturdays, we gathered as a group of curious children and made the short trek to downtown Montgomery and stood on Dexter Avenue as the protest marches con-

tinued.

An occasional firecracker would interrupt the unified voices of the protest, but the mood was largely non confrontational and forgiving.

I took special note of the nuns and priests who marched with the protesters signaling their solidarity in the fight.

Terrible advice for high school seniors

By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News Dear High School Senior, As you approach the end of your high school years, many of you are likely finalizing the next steps you will take on the path to a fully independent and satisfying adult life. And, for a good number of you, that means deciding where you will go to college.

You are probably well aware that choosing a college is no laughing matter. You must pick exactly the right college for you, one that fits you perfectly and will provide you with the kind of collegiate experience you have always pictured in your head (or seen on the front of every single college brochure).

The consequences should you fail to do this could be dire, up to and including: • Temporary confusion • Being forced to adjust to circumstances for which you are not totally prepared • Accepting the realization that sometimes what you didn’t expect turns out to be exactly what you needed ----Dear High School Senior, Once you have selected your perfect college, it will soon be time to choose the one subject that you will totally and completely devote yourself to for the next four years: your major.

Please be advised, you must make this decision quickly, and you must get it right the first time. Dillydallying, or accidentally picking the wrong major could lead to: Having to admit you messed up Learning to start over

ing them to Atlee High School at 9414 Atlee Station Rd. in Mechanicsville.

On Thursday, three members of the team talked about the competitions and fundraising efforts as they prepare to head to Detroit for the April 25 FRC (First Robotics Competition).

Senior Tyler Smith noted

that they had had “some very gracious sponsors like DuPont.� Maria Wass, also a senior, chimed in, adding the Department of Defense STEM (Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering), Hanover Education Foundation, National Defense Education Program, Hanover County Public Schools, and VERUS Financial Partners. “We’ve already raised a cou-

ple thousand, but that’s just helping get us there,� Maria added.

Team Circuitree involves all four grades at Atlee – freshmen through seniors. There are 61 members, with nine planning for the Detroit competition.

To attain the pinnacle of going to the world competition, the Atlee team took part in two regional events. The first was held at Deep Run High School; the second was scheduled for Blacksburg High School but

had to be moved to the Arthur Ashe Center in Richmond due to snow.

event followed at the University of Maryland in College Park.

As they get ready for the world competition, Maria said there will be “a lot of teams from Israel.� Junior Sabrina Chin said 60-plus nations will be represented.

With a smile of pride, Tyler pointed out that this is the first time that Atlee has ever qualified for the world event. Maria added that they are the only HCPS school to reach that level.

Samuel Kentner was the team’s original sponsor and club mentor. Thomas Larson now handles those responsibilities. He is assisted by physics teacher Ian McPhipps and shop instructor David Balderson.

Circuitree, Tyler said, “built a robot and we named it Splinter

and that’s because of all the metal shavings and jagged edges it has. We’ve had to remove a couple splinters from people’s fingers and things like that.�

The Circuitree logo featured “the general like tree design,�

Sabrina said, “which was made a few years ago. My friend Kolton Peyton and I added the Mario Warp Pipe.� “We designed this robot to be able to pick up like cubes, which are the size of a milk crate because they are a milk crate but they’re covered, and to be able to place them up 7 feet in the air and place them on a platform,� Tyler said.

He was quick to point out that it was not inexpensive to build Splinter. The cost was about $3,000.

Other funds the team faces in competitions are registration, which can range from $4,000 to $5,000 per event. “It’s a very expensive club to partake in so we’ve just got to be careful not to spend all of our resources,� Tyler said.

He did say the cost analysis a little different than the actual cost. “The amount of money we actually spent this year was $2,000, with the actual cost being $3,000.� He said they have to “factor in parts that we already have or you receive from the FRC.�

For those who may consider donating to the Atlee High School Robotics Boosters Club, Maria said it is a 501(c)(3) taxsee ROBOTICS, pg. 21

church in the march,” I quietly exclaimed to my cousin.

An angry man standing directly behind us made a hasty and stern reply as he looked directly in my eyes.

“Those aren’t real nuns.

They are protesters dressed up like nuns,” the man said in an agitated voice.

For years, I never questioned his assertions, but the statement always remained in my mind as I watched other protests in other venues over the years.

As I listen to my children, I realize that time indeed, is the great equalizer, and the years between today and those Saturdays in Montgomery have erased or hidden much of the hatefulness … but not all.

It’s reassuring when I hear my children speak of their classmates, never reverting to racial descriptions or stereotypes to describe their classmates. Their evolving minds are absent the

misguided stereotypes I grew up with as a child, and watched personified by adults for most of my life.

It’s a wonderful evolution to witness, as a silent observer who takes some pride in their attitudes and lack of natural racism. Different is not a negative concept to them, and discrimination is something they don’t know exists in America.

Sadly, not everyone got the memo, and the advances of Civil Rights and equality for all Americans still evokes hostility and resentment in some minds.

Even more devastating is the way these hatreds are passed down through generations, a learned behavior that perpetuates of atmosphere of inequality and racial tension.

And while many consider that racism in America was a problem long ago solved, the simple reality is that equality in America still has a long way to go.

For years, I’ve heard folks

Stone will get you

from my generation justify their racism by claiming they are victims of a generational phenomenon making them incapable of true change.

Some minds won’t be changed, but equality is a vision that has no beginning or end and represents a battle that is ongoing in our nation.

And one day, that vision of equal rights for all Americans will be a reality, and the ignorance of racism and bigotry will only survive in the minds of a few.

But, the mission of racial harmony is an ongoing assignment that requires constant vigilance to prevent situations like the ones many of us witnessed in the all to recent past.

Unrest on American streets reminds us all there is still work to be done.

For many Americans, real racial harmony and equality can’t come fast enough.

In the meantime, many of us will continue to keep our eyes on the prize.

important, but eventually you will have to make an even bigger pick: your career! This is that one thing that you will do from the time you leave college to the day you retire, so you better be sure to nail it the first time out. The world can be scary and unpredictable, so choose a conventional career path with minimal risk (save the “creative stuff” for a hobby).

Sure, you could try your hand at several different things over the course of the next 40-plus years, but studies have shown that having more than one career can be directly linked to:

Improved happiness and personal satisfaction

Self discovery and growth The realization that you control your own destiny and that life — and time -- are far too precious to waste, and that you should do, see, listen, feel, love, and learn as much as you can, in whatever way you can, until you run out of both.

op essential skills as they gain a deep knowledge of the sciences.

At Randolph-Macon, students are provided with opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom to learn while developing and refining critical thinking skills, problem solving abilities, and excellent communication skills. These are the hallmarks of a Randolph-Macon education, and will be a key component of the BSN program.

Dr. Susan Parker, R-MC Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, who has spearheaded the nursing initiative, said, "What will make our BSN program distinctive is the combination of an outstanding nursing program with a robust liberal arts curriculum and a residential experience. Our nursing students — like all of our students — will enjoy the full college experience, including opportunities to participate in athletics, campus activities, Greek life, internships, ground-breaking research, our study-abroad program, and more. Nursing students will be a vital part of our residential campus community."

Parker said R-MC also is looking forward to building on its existing partnerships with two major healthcare pro-

viders, Bon Secours Health System Inc. and HCA (Hospital Corporation of America).

"These relationships will provide a wealth of opportunities for our students," said Parker.

"They will be able to explore and experience the diverse roles of nurses throughout various healthcare delivery systems and settings and gain invaluable hands-on experience and future career opportunities."

Close, Personal Attention The proposed RandolphMacon BSN curriculum is based on The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice and will prepare graduates to

(Editor’s note: The following is published courtesy of Randolph-Macon College.)

ASHLAND -- RandolphMacon College President Robert R. Lindgren is pleased to announce that the college has formally submitted its application to establish a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program to the Virginia Board of Nursing.

The nursing program application is now pending Board of Nursing approval. This step is critical towards the formation of this new program, proposed to begin in fall 2019.

"The BSN program will be a powerful academic offering for our students," Lindgren said.

"There is enormous enthusiasm at the college for the establishment of this program. In March, our college faculty voted unanimously in favor of approving the degree and nursing curriculum. I have no doubt that nurses who are educated at RandolphMacon College will be exceptionally well-equipped to enter the healthcare arena and become leaders in their profession."

The establishment of the nursing program, and the new state-of-the-art nursing building that will be constructed by fall 2019, is covered fully by private alumni donations.

Randolph-Macon College alumni are among the most loyal in the nation, ranking R-MC 20th last year out of over 3,000 public and private institutions for alumni loyalty.

Living and Learning at R-MC The new nursing major and BSN degree will be an outstanding complement to the college's over 54 current academic offerings. The program will integrate the college’s liberal arts tradition as it prepares students to work as collaborative members of interdisciplinary healthcare teams.

Kendra Anderson’s kindergarten class at Pole Green Elementary School has been collecting postcards from across the United States as a class project. She said they were “finally able to get at least one post card from every state! It was a very fun project, the people that sent in post cards sent in facts about their state so our students learned a lot of interesting facts all of the states. We also kept tally marks for each post card we received to see which state had the most post cards at the end of the project. The students really had a lot of fun with this project! We are still hoping to get more postcards!” Anderson’s kindergarten assistant, Jenny Kusnerik, has been helping her with the collections.

The Kiwanis Club of Ashland recently honored Joe Stiles (posthumously), Andy Stiles, Eddie Stiles and Jack Luck by presenting the club’s Legacy of Service Award to them for almost 170 combined years of service to the community and the community’s children. The recognition took place during the club’s last dinner meeting. The club also celebrated its 95th birthday at the dinner meeting, which was attended by most of its members and spouses. It was described by one member as “Quite a celebration of many years of service to the Town of Ashland and surrounding Hanover communities.”

Lauterbach named Top Agent of the Year at Weichert

Bluemont announces termination of programs BERRYVILLE – Effective June 30, the Bluemont Concert Series programs and administrative operations will be terminated following a decision by the Board of Directors.

After a series of planning sessions over the past 18 months, the board agreed that the nonprofit Bluemont Concert Series as currently organized lacked the financial footing to continue.

Since 1976, Bluemont’s unique public/private partnership has been a part of the cultural fabric of 34 Virginia communities. It has presented more than 9,648 cultural programs in local schools, nursing homes, special events and summer concerts to 3.2 million families and visitors.

Bluemont’s extraordinary cultural legacy was built on the generous support of local government and private donor

ASHLAND – Weichert, Realtors® - Home Run Realty, located in Ashland, has announced that realtor Ann Lauterbach has been named the company’s 2017 Top Agent of the Year.

“We are immensely proud of our history over the past 41 years and treasure the many wonderful memories created by quality entertainment and cultural enrichment that we were so fortunate to present,” the board said.

The Taters performed last August during the 2017 season of the Bluemont Concert Series in Ashland.

In an ongoing attempt to maintain its popular cultural programs, Bluemont has been actively engaged in reactive downsizing for the past 10 years. Traditional funding from state and local government appropriations has been steadily reduced from $263,000 in FY2008 to $59,434 in FY2018.

Bluemont strived to maintain community programs while offsetting the funding deficit each year by cutting costs and seeking other sources of revenue.

“While we continue to believe that music and art are critical to a well-rounded education, and vital to our beloved communities, our programs require resources to operate,” the board added. “Despite a storied 40-plus year history, and ongoing conscientious budgeting, our resources have been exhausted.”

Effective Jan. 1, the Bluemont Board of Directors, with great reluctance, released Lily Dunning Widman, its

award-winning executive director, and her staff.

The board extended its appreciation of Widman’s “outstanding professional service and we wish her much success in her future endeavors. She and her staff gave countless hours to make Bluemont truly special and their commitment to excellence is to be commended.”

Bluemont began in 1976 as a series of concerts and old-time country dances in the Bluemont community but grew to include regional cultural programming in many Virginia communities such as its Artists In Education, Healthcare Outreach in nursing homes, and various other music, theatre, and dance special events.

Bluemont stepped in to fill this important need when school budgets in the cultural programs were non-existent.

“We built support for the programs through the years and have been blessed to share our passion for the arts with young see BLUEMONT, pg. 17

Programs like Bluemont do not exist without leaders and visionaries.

The Bluemont board’s recognition and appreciation for its many volunteers and sponsors cannot be adequately expressed in words.

“We are mindful that without their commitment and energy, Bluemont would have never existed and flourished for over 40 years. They have given more to the heart, soul and vitality of Virginia than they know,” board members added.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to fulfill the Bluemont mission by helping to build our cultural programs for the people in our communities. We thank everyone for their support over the years, and will continue to treasure fond memories of families singing, dancing and sharing art in their own community,” the members said.

HANOVER -- Every year, beginning April 1 through June 30, it is unlawful for dogs anywhere in Hanover County to be running off their property without being leashed.

The county’s “leash law” applies throughout the year in the suburban area.

Between April 1 and June 30, it is extended to the rural areas as well because the births of vulnerable livestock, such as baby lambs and calves, tend to take place during this period.

Wildlife activity and rabies cases also generally increase in the April 1 to June 30 time frame.

Any dogs caught running off their owner’s property will be impounded.

Impoundment fees are $25 for the first violation and an additional $10 for each subsequent violation within a 12-month period, including a $5 per day boarding fee.

Violations also can result in uniform summons or a written warning being issued.

Each instance of a dog belonging to a particular owner running at-large is a separate violation, and an additional penalty will apply regardless of whether the same dog is involved.

If you see a dog running at large, call Hanover County Emergency Communications at 804-365-6140.

Any dangerous animal can be reported by dialing 911 for immediate assistance, 24/7.

For more information about Hanover County’s running atlarge laws, call Animal Control at 804-365-6485.

Dogs cannot run off their owner’s property at any time of year without a current county license tag affixed to their collar.

sergeants who are making as much as lieutenants . . . You can see the inequity in that.�

He said the City of Richmond is facing a $6 million compression problem, and urged the Hanover County Board of Supervisors to address a problem that is already present and growing in the county’s sheriff’s office as well as other departments.

“This problem has been building for many years and if we don’t deal with it will become a monster that we will have a difficult time overcoming,� Cook said. “We don’t expect you to address this in one fatal swoop,� the former sheriff said. “What I am asking is that the board take a look at this and put a plan into

The former sheriff said about $400,000 would be required to rectify the compression problem in the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office. That figure does not address similar problems in other departments like Fire/EMS and schools.

Tyler said, “I had taken a plethora of agriculture and shop classes and actually done some shop work on the robot and figured that I’d get involved the next year when registration opened back up. I just thought it would be an opportunity to increase my knowledge and develop some of those engineering skills.�

He became involved with Circuitree last year.

With graduation fast

approaching, he said he is “either planning on majoring in environmental science or environmental engineering at Virginia Tech or the University of Vermont.�

Maria started taking computer design classes her freshman year. “By the time I had gotten to my junior year I was already certified in a couple of programs, and I was looking for ways to use my certifications,� she said.

She said she was talking

to McPhipps who asked her, “Why don’t you join the robotics team? I help with that a lot.�

Maria attended a meeting and started the CAD (Computer-Aided Design).

Like Tyler, she will be gradu-

ating in June.

Maria said, “I am hoping to become an aerospace engineer. I was actually admitted and have now accepted at Virginia Tech for their engineering school.�

Circuitree has accomplished

a major feat as the journey now takes the team to Detroit and the possibility of a world title. April 25 is a mere two weeks away, so those wishing to help the team with finances are encouraged to do so as soon as possible.

taining its critical edge.

He also addressed future staffing needs.

“The day is nearing when I believe all stations across the county must have 24/7 coverage, both in fire and EMS,” Hutchinson said.

Currently, the county crossstaffs at five stations, meaning some crews serve multiple stations.

Hutchinson urged the board to add one to two positions a year in addition to the three to six allotted in the five-year staffing plan.

Bob Nelson addressed the removal of funds for the Atlee Station Road widening project, delaying the start of the project for two years.

Currently, more than 900 unoccupied residential lots have been approved along the

corridor, and Nelson said the improvement should have remained unchanged in the new Capital Improvement Plan.

Those funds were removed and placed in funding for Pole Green Road improvements.

The proposed FY2019 CIP eliminated $1 million from approved funding for the Atlee Station Road widening.

The proposed CIP calls for the design phase for Atlee Road to begin in 2023.

“This year, the proposed CIP reveals a moratorium on widening Atlee Station Road.

The message is clear — rezoning for developers and road moratoriums for citizens,” Nelson said.

Ashland resident Rachel Levy delivered a renewed request for more funding for local schools and a restoration of pre-recession level spending, noting the need for renovation

and replacement of aging facilities.

“You don’t have a great school system without sufficient funding,” Levy said.

“Unfortunately, we haven’t had sufficient funding since the recession and there has been a slow erosion of quality and services offered.”

She also revealed figures that could indicate a top-heavy salary scale for county administration, noting that recently revealed salary figures show the system rewards its highestranking employees at a higher pay scale than many of its neighboring systems.

According to Levy, who gathered her numbers from recent Richmond TimesDispatch listings of government officials and their salaries, most counties pay their top position holders approximately two to three times the median salary, Hanover’s top earners are

compensated at five times the median.

“If we don’t have money to pay our teachers and other staff what we should, then how is it we have it for such high salaries at the top? Something is not adding up,” Levy said.

John Szewczyk is an advisor to the Hanover Professional Educators and spoke in support of the FY2019 budget, a proposal that includes a 2 percent increase for all employees and the continuance of an aggressive five-year technology plan.

He urged supervisors to utilize any additional funds that might be forthcoming as the Commonwealth finalizes its final budget to further compensate the county’s teachers.

A Cold Harbor resident spoke against the inclusion of $3.1 million in the budget for the recently named Elton Wade Sr. Park at Cold Harbor.

After moving to Cold Harbor to escape growing congestion in the Suburban Service Area (SSA), the father of a special needs father said the park will destroy the tranquility he sought for his son’s well-being.

He likened the project to a sports complex with few traditional park amenities, designed and built to attract large tournaments to the county akin to events currently held in Northern Virginia.

Community Services Board (CSB) chair Scott Bateman also urged supervisors to approve the FY2019 proposed budget, citing its impact on the board’s ability to provide services for an increasing number of clients in the county.

The board continues its consideration of the budget with adoption anticipated at its upcoming meeting on April 11.

Community pancake breakfast set Staff Report news@mechlocal.com HANOVER -- A community pancake breakfast will be held from 8 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 14, at the Hillcrest Baptist Church at 11342 Hillcrest Rd. in Hanover.
