HHS student’s poster wins area, state for CrimeStoppers

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor MECHANICSVILLE – A sophomore at Hanover High School won $1,000 for her entry in the Metro Richmond CrimeStoppers Poster Contest. Kaitlin Kilgore of Mechanicsville received $500 each on the area and state levels.

Her winning design included two German Shepherd K-9s. “My love of animals really made me decide to go with it. When I thought of policemen, I thought of the K-9 unit.�

The design also featured police cruisers, but Kaitlin said her emphasis was on the dogs.

County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu� Harris Jr. addressed the Hanover County Board of Supervisors concerning the FY2019 initiatives.

FY2019 initiatives that included a promise to examine and assess

a compensation issue that is effecting numerous employees in various county departments.

The issue of salary compression is a growing problem that began when numerous incentives were eliminated after the economic downturn in 2008.

It’s a problem that equates to some employees with lower seniority and responsibility being compensated at a higher rate than more experienced and higher ranked employees.

When Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, addressed the board during a recent budget oversight session, he said some sergeants in his office make more than some lieutenants due to a system that has compacted categories and eliminated step increases or seniority-driven compensation.

The problem also exists for school employees as well as a number of other affected employees in various county

Residents reminded not to place signs within VDOT’s right-of-way

HANOVER – Residents are reminded that it is illegal to place signs within the Virginia Department of Transportation’s right-of-way and that violations of this law can result in fines.

The VDOT right-of-way typically includes median strips, utility poles, street signs and the area between the road and ditch line.

Hanover County actively enforces this state law throughout the county, and violators can be assessed a $100 fine per illegal sign.

David Maloney, director of Planning, said his office has received complaints about these signs over the years and has assessed a number of fines.

“A majority of these illegally placed signs are constructed of inexpensive materials and they remain within the public right-of-way and neglected,” Maloney said.

“They are very unsightly and become a form of litter.”

He said that signs within the public right-of-way present many nuisances and dangers to motorists.

“They become visual distractions to drivers and they can block sight lines, especially at intersections and driveways,” Maloney said.

“The county’s goals are to keep our county beautiful and achieve compliance with this state law,” Maloney added. “We

PERSONALIZED GIFTS, DECOR & MORE

MOTHER’S DAY SPECIAL

do not have a goal of collecting fines, but we will do so where necessary to discourage businesses and individuals from posting illegal signs.” In an effort to enforce the regulations, the zoning enforcement staff periodically performs sweeps of the county’s roads to remove illegally placed signs.

Also remember that signs may be posted on private property only with the permission of the owner and in compliance with the county’s sign ordinance.

Questions about the requirements of the county’s sign ordinance may be directed to the Planning Office at 804-365-6171.

From the managing editor

Hey, buddy, can you spare a dime?

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor He was standing outside the convenience store when I was headed toward the door to go in and purchase a newspaper (take note: purchase a newspaper). He said something to me that I didn’t quite understand, so I said “Pardon?” at least twice when I finally realized he was asking for change. I told him I’d be back out shortly.

Now, a few months ago, I probably wouldn’t have acknowledged he was speaking to me, much less tell him I’d be back, giving him the hope I was going to respond to his request.

After buying the newspaper, I walked out the door and turned to the left where he was leaning into a corner of the store’s exterior wall. I handed him some cash and said, “God bless you;” he said the same to me. I then looked him right in the eyes and said, “God has blessed you.” He thanked me

and I turned and went to my vehicle.

I know there are some people who think I’m wasting my money with these recent stories about paying for meals in restaurants or handing cash to people on the street.

What I do know about this is that it’s as if it has become my personal ministry. I don’t know the circumstances of others and we shouldn’t immediately think the worst.

Giving someone $5, $10 or $20 doesn’t mean they’re going to buy alcohol of drugs. I’m not naive, but I’m hopeful that the money goes toward a meal.

I can’t imagine being in the position of standing outside a store asking for change. The man, who appeared to be in his 30s, could just be down on his luck. My reference to God was to serve as a reminder that, no matter what put him in that place at that particular time, the Lord is always with him and supporting him.

I believe the majority of our readers are Godfearing people who agree that we need to help those in need.

All I know is that when I help someone the blessing is overwhelming.

There was a time when I would have acted like I didn’t see someone or hear that individual address me.

I’ll go with one of my father’s favorite songs, “I Saw the Light,” in why my life has taken a 360-degree turn in doing what I can for others.

I will add this most recent encounter, which occurred while my mother and I were enjoying a long weekend at Virginia Beach, to what I hope will be a growing list of giving opportunities.

That Saturday will stand out because I felt good about helping someone when my intent was to buy a newspaper. I got the newspaper and he got the change.

As coach changes positions, memories spill out

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

When a mobile version of the College Football Hall of Fame rolled into Goochland Courthouse almost two decades ago, there were only a handful of visitors who took the brief tour filled with historic momentos that exemplified spectacular moments in a

long, illustrious history.

That’s the first time I met Joe Fowler, Goochland’s recently named football coach. He was assuming a position that placed him at the top of a uneventful program. That’s not to say those first teams weren’t a hearty bunch of athletes who struggled to maintain pace with their traditional

rivals.

And those first few games didn’t go the way Fowler would have liked, but, even in those losing efforts, it was evident that the new coach had a plan, a long-term program designed to produce a lasting and solid foundation for what would follow.

When I decided to assist my sports

editor and cover Fowler’s team, it wasn’t my first rodeo covering high school athletics. But, novice would be a kind way to describe my skills, and I had much more experience as a sports photographer than a sideline reporter.

Resident defends president’s actions as election nears Something tragic is about to happen in our beloved country unless we the voters stand up and stop it. If, as many polls are now predicting, the Democrats take over the House this coming November, our great president will be impeached; and if they also take over the Senate, President Trump will be thrown out of office!

But you ask, “What did he do to be impeached?” Nothing, but that doesn’t seem to matter to the Democrats and the Far Left. His main crime is that he is a strong Conservative and is not afraid of these crazy people.

The Democrats don’t need a reason to impeach. Their hatred of a duly and lawfully elected president is enough for them.

Just look at the current political climate, the witch hunts, and charade of the Russian probe.

Many months ago it was proven that the president and his campaign staff had nothing to do with any collusion with the Russians. But that doesn’t matter.

The crooked Robert Mueller and his radical liberal staff of Hillary Clinton supporters all are determined to pin something on the president.

They have strayed far from the Russian probe; and all are now looking at President Trump’s family, raiding his lawyer’s home, office, and hotel room, and are focusing now on his sex life from 10 years ago. Why is that any of their business, and what does that have to do with the Russian probe?

Remember Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy who were committing acts of fornication, some right in the White House.

President Trump should fire Robert Mueller and all his staff, including Deputy Attorney General Rod see LETTERS, pg. 7

known, Joe dragged me along on the journey, always patient with my progress.

There was an excitement in those years that is hard to describe. All associated with the program knew the Bulldogs were headed for great things.

None of us were sure when that would happen.

It culminated on a windy November day at James Madision University when the Bulldogs faced Giles County for the state championship. Fowler arrived at that contest with one of his best teams, a squad that included Brian Jordan, DJ Coles and John Hicks. Even with that barrage of talent, Giles presented a hefty challenge, and, late in the fourth quarter, held a small lead over the Bulldogs.

We all held our breath as Jordan ran a quarterback keeper and scored, just barely, from a yard out, giving the Bulldogs the final edge and a state championship.

In six short years, Fowler had claimed the top spot in the state and returned Goochland’s football program to a position of dominance that became the hallmark of the teams fielded in the following years.

Throughout those 17 years, I’ve been there for an untold

number of great moments, big wins and championships. I’ve also witnessed the most bitter of disappointments where little mistakes or bad calls ended a season.

In the good times, and the bad, Fowler remained optimistic and always kept the game in proper perspective for his group of impressionable youths.

“You’ll do a lot more important things in life than win a football game,” he often told his troops.

Joe’s insightful perspective and compassion hit home with my family when my son was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. I was too devastated to share the news with anyone, but I did confide in Joe. That season was tough for me and he knew it, and I can’t count the time he gave me a supportive hug, or shared a tear in my moments of despair.

His efforts didn’t stop with moral support, and Joe organized Goochland’s first Coach to Cure, a joint effort by The American Football Coaches Association and Parents Project for Muscular Dystrophy designed to raise money and awareness for kids with the disease.

He included Jack as a member of his team, always placing his name in the #1 position on his roster. Each year, he welcomed Jack to his sidelines, the

locker room and even allowed Jack to flip the coin to open the game. It remains a highlight in Jack’s annual schedule, and is a gesture that Fowler believes is equally beneficial to his team members.

That act of kindness is only one example I’ve witnessed in those 17 years I’ve spent with Joe. While most of the parting articles highlight the wellknown stars produced from those Bulldog squads, there were players who progressed to Division One football and excelled, or transferred talents to the baseball field.

Somehow, I think Joe takes more pride in the number of good fathers, husbands, employees and friends he’s produced, for, in the end, it’s always been more about life and less about football for Fowler.

I’m not sure how many more seasons I’ll be on that Goochland sideline, but I know it won’t be the same without Joe at the helm. Fortunately, his influence will be felt throughout those ranks and the legacy of Joe Fowler will live on in Goochland’s long history of athletics.

But, maybe, his mark will better be reflected on the hundreds of student athletes whose lives he influenced, changed, and prepared for a lifetime of wins and losses.

Rosenstein immediately! This should have been done months ago.

What is the President afraid of? Does he fear the rage of Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi? Tell them and their entire fake news media crowd to suck it up and get a life.

We’re tired of the witch hunt

by Mueller that is costing us, the taxpayers, millions of dollars.

Leave the president alone and go after the real crooks and criminals.

Place the blame of the condition of our country where it belongs: on the Clintons, the Obamas, and many in the radical Democrat Party.

Most of these Democrat politicians are despicable, deplorable people, much more concerned about destroying our president than they are in helping the American people.

All the Democrats voted against a tax cut for us; and anything the president proposes in order to help the American people, they vote against.

Most all of the Democrats have voted against all of President Trump’s nominees or anything that he introduces.

Is President Trump always right? Does he always say the right thing? Of course not. But he has done far more to help us in one year than President Obama did in eight years.

He has kept many of the promises he made during the campaign and, hopefully, has seven more years to complete the rest.

He has brought many jobs back to our country, has given us a good tax cut, and is working to undo the disasters of Obama Care.

He is strongly pro-life, proChristian, and pro-Israel, all of which Obama was against.

The Bible says that those who are for Israel, God is for; and those who are against Israel, God will be against.

President Trump’s recent decision to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Israel was a great move, which many presidents said they would do but never followed through.

Only President Trump had the courage and backbone to do it. He promised a wall along our Southern border, and construction has begun.

Many immigration officials and border sheriffs agree that a wall would do much to stop the flood of illegal immigrants into our country.

How proud I am to see our strong president and our gracious First Lady go overseas and tell the Europeans that they need to pay their fair share — that the American people are tired of “footing the bill” for them.

The European leaders don’t like this blunt talk, but there are some who do respect our president.

good politician until he got mixed up with Hillary Clinton; now he is just as much a radical liberal as she is.

When he runs for reelection this November, we should replace him with a far better candidate, such as the Republican Corey Stewart who believes life begins in the womb, that a marriage is between one man and one woman, and that immigrants should enter this country according to the laws of the United States.

My precious wife of over 50 years went to be with the Lord this past December. She is in a far better place with no more pain or sorrow or the behavior of sinful people with which to deal.

There are my children and grandchildren about whom I am so concerned.

The sins of abortion (the murder of millions of unborn babies), homosexuality, samesex marriage, and gender confusion (where supposedly one can be whatever sex one wants to be) are just some of the evils endorsed by the liberalism of the Democrats.

For the sake of my family, your families, and our beloved country, please, I beg of you, don’t cast another vote for a liberal Democrat.

‘Peter and the Starcatcher’ opens tomorrow at HHS MECHANICSVILLE -Hanover High School will perform “Peter and the Starcatcher” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 3-5.

If the name “Peter” brings to mind Neverland and fairy dust, you’re on the right track. This is the original story of Capt.

Hook, the Lost Boys, and other familiar characters from that tale.

Based on the novel by Dave Barry (Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist) and Ridley Pearson and adapted for the stage by Rick Elice, this Broadway hit won numerous Tony Awards during its stint on the Great White Way. Hanover Theatre Company students are being directed by Debra Clinton.

This prequel to Peter Pan conveys a wonderful message as well.

Asked why she selected “Peter and the Starcatcher,”

Clinton cited its universal appeal: “We all know how hard it is to be a grown-up; this show is an opportunity for us all to revisit our childhoods.

Moreover, it’s an iconic story about friendship, love, and trust.”

Freshman Stone Casey, cast in the title role of Peter, echoed her sentiment by responding to the question “What is Peter looking for?” with the instantaneous reply of “a family and a home.”

Accordingly, the production will feature a number of fresh new faces, students not typically participants in HHS shows who have found a sense of belonging as part of the Hanover Theatre Company ensemble.

Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for students with ID, and free for Gold-Card-carrying seniors as well as active and retired military (with valid ID).

Each graduating senior will still receive two parking passes (this is the same).

VIP SEATING SECTION: All full-time Hanover County employees may request seating in the reserved VIP seating section. However, due

to space constraints, there will be a limit of 6 reserved in that section per graduating senior.

capacity, enhances networks and provides laptops for teachers and eventually students.

Harris also noted a completed list of board initiatives from FY2018 that included renovation of the Circuit Court Building, revision of the Strategic Plan, an update of the Comprehensive Plan and the conclusion of an extensive Citizen Survey.

He also noted the initiation of the vendor payment reports that are accessible to the public so citizens can assess just where the county’s money is being spent.

After a unanimous adoption

of the FY2019 Board Initiatives, Chickahominy supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek said the list is a guideline, but does not include all items that still represent priorities for the board.

“Just because something doesn’t appear on this list doesn’t mean there aren’t other issues that we are working very hard on -- transportation challenges would be a good example of that, she said. “I just want people to know we spend a great deal of time of effort on many issues. These just represent the specific objectives that we are working toward that we’ve been able to identify.”

During a public comment period earlier in the meeting, Honey Meadows resident Bob Nelson said a plan to use proffer funds to build an access road from Chickahominy Middle School’s parking lot does not qualify for use of proffered funds for Atlee Station Road.

“Here's the problem,” Nelson said, “using cash proffers for a parking lot on school property violates applicable subdivision ordinances. The middle school parking lot exit is not a road improvement in the Transportation policy adopted March 13, 2013.”

County Attorney Sterling

Rives disagreed and said the project fits appropriately under proffer guidelines and directly impacts traffic on Atlee Station Road. He noted the improvement is part of a larger project to enhance travel along that corridor.

“The improvements described are part of a group of interrelated and interdependent improvements at the schools on Atlee Station Road and at the intersection of Atlee Station Road and Honey Meadows Road, all of which are designed to improve traffic flow on Atlee Station Road,” Rives said. “We feel comfortable that this an appropriate use of the funding.”

to completion, a project that will provide additional space for several county departments, the board now sets its sights on renovating the District Court Building. That project will provide even more space for crowded county departments and agencies. That project should take 12 to 18 months for completion.

Another approved board initiative is the planning of a birthday bash for the county’s 300th anniversary. Harris said officials are seeking public input

and board recommendations on how to celebrate this milestone in the county’s history.

Cold Harbor supervisor Scott Wyatt and Beaverdam’s Aubrey M. “Bucky” Stanley have been tapped to head a committee to begin the planning.

The county also is implementing a new community development software system and hopes to go live with that significant upgrade within the coming 12 months.

The board also approved a recurring item on the initiatives list, a continuation of the school system’s five-year technology upgrade plan that improves

Enon UMC, brothers celebrate new home Staff Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE -Enon United Methodist Church celebrated the new home of brothers Junior and Melray Alexander on Georgetown Road in Mechanicsville on Sunday, April 29.

The Alexanders shared a dream that became a reality thanks to Enon UMC. To pro-

vide the manufactured home for them, $102,000 was raised.

According to Gibson, the manufactured home was purchased late in 2017.

“Land was cleared, a new

septic system installed, well line and electricity connected, porches put in and landscaping finished. Then all of your wonderful donations for the interior were lovingly placed and Junior and Melray moved in.”

Gentry breaks drought with winning RBI

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – It had not been the best of nights for Lee-Davis first baseman Jesse Gentry.

Coming to the plate with four frustrating at-bats behind her, the table was set with the winning run at second base in the bottom of the ninth in a 7-7 tie.

Wasting no time, Gentry launched the first pitch into center field, and – when Atlee outfielder Kelly Ayer missed the ball trying to grab it to launch a desperation throw to the plate – Hayli Wagner cruised home to end the latest chapter in the classic rivalry between the Confederates and Raiders as Lee-Davis came back from a 5-0 deficit to win 8-7 and sweep Atlee in the regular season series.

“Before I went to the plate, my teammates told me to just make that small adjustment, just stay on top of the ball,” Gentry recalled. “I went up looking for my pitch, looking to drive it and stay on top.”

The fact that Lee-Davis (8-1) even had a chance to win was an accomplishment in itself. Before fans were comfortable in the bleachers, Atlee struck for three first inning runs on singles from Ayer, Alyssa Bernardini and Jordan Durbin, and a wild pitch from Lee-Davis

Hawks ‘best’ performance nets win over PH

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – After a physical and sometimes contentious 12-10 win over Patrick Henry at home on March 29, Hanover’s girls lacrosse team knew the rematch in Ashland would be nothing less than a battle.

The Hawks responded with what their coach said was their best performance yet as Hanover built a first half lead, then steadily pulled away for a surprisingly comfortable 15-6 win Thursday night for their sixth victory of the season.

The Hawks earned the proclamation from head coach Matthew Ellinghaus by following through in the most basic of ways.

“It comes down to getting back to fundamentals,” Ellinghaus said. “There were a lot of sloppy mistakes in that first game and the past couple of games going into this one. We had close games that shouldn’t have been. It was all about the fundamentals, and we executed in this game, a total team effort.”

While the Hawks ran a clean offense and dominated draw control, Patrick Henry (5-4) struggled all evening to control the ball and move it around successfully. Turnovers were prevalent, long offensive possessions were few, even passing the ball successfully in transition became a stumbling block in the second half when the match was still in reach. After an early Patriot timeout, Emily Flinn’s second goal brought Patrick Henry within a goal at 3-2.

But Hanover scored five of the last seven goals of the first half for an 8-4 intermission lead, as Taylor Wayne and Brandilyn Williamson each scored twice for the Hawks.

be a completely different game, so we were preparing for both,” Willett opined. “We came in confident, knowing we were capable of this.”

Hanover now gets another shot at undefeated Atlee Thursday night, trying to avenge a 16-7 loss to the Raiders three weeks ago. Atlee handled Lee-Davis on Thursday 17-1, scoring thirteen goals in the first half to win their tenth match of 2018. Kate Miller continued her impressive freshman season with four goals. Faith Dave Lawrence/The Local Anna added three, while Ashley Hanover’s Keegan Smither (2) whips around a crowd of Patrick Henry defenders for a shot in the Karn, Jessie Peffer and Reaghan Hawks’ 17-7 win over the Patriots Thursday. Smither had one of three hat tricks for Hanover.

“As we get into the later part of our season, it’s more about refining some things, and improving on some of our weaknesses,” Dobson explained.

Boys MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover, led by a trio of hat tricks by Peyton Grubbs, Draven Reed and Keegan Smither, walloped visiting Patrick Henry 17-7 in a crosscounty boys lacrosse contest Thursday night.

Grubbs finished with four goals – completing his hat trick within the first five minutes of play.

“He’s a senior on the team, so I expect him to be aggressive from the get-go and kind of set the tempo for us,” said Hanover head boys lacrosse coach Zack Carey. “It’s just ball movement

Didlake’s hat trick paces Hawks past Patriots

By Jonathan Howard For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Friday night was senior night for Hanover’s girls soccer team.

Lauren Didlake made sure to make her last regular-season game on her home field a memorable one. The forward had a first-half hat trick and added two assists to lead Hanover (9-1-1) to a 9-0 victory over rival Patrick Henry (2-7-1).

Didlake assisted on the game’s first two goals before finding the net three times over a five-minute span.

“Putting the ball in the net three times on senior night was probably one of the most amazing feelings I’ve had in a long time on a soccer field, and it was just very exciting to share the moment with my team,” Didlake said.

The Hawks got on the scoreboard just under two minutes into the first half. Rachel Andrzejewski took possession following a throw-in and made a run down the right sideline.

She then centered the ball into the box to Didlake, who fired it across the box to Sarah LePeter.

The sophomore finished with a ground ball to the bottom right of the net to break the ice.

The Hawks struck again midway through the first half when a Didlake corner kick found Maggie Sobel open in the middle of the box. Sobel headed the ball home to give Hanover the 2-0 lead.

With the 2-0 lead in hand,

Hanover forward Lauren Didlake (10) outruns Patrick Henry defender Cameron Cox in the Hawks’ 9-0 win over the Patriots Friday.

Didlake got to work scoring.

She started by taking a pass from fellow senior Mackenzie Hoang and firing it through the hands of Patrick Henry

keeper Sarah Ailor. Three minutes later, Didlake recovered a deflection at the top of the goal box, and chipped it over the defense and keeper for her sec-

ond score. She finished it out less than two minutes later by taking an assist from LePeter and sending a hard shot to the top of the net to give Hanover

fourth quarter with five unanswered goals. “[Hanover] played a very good game tonight,” said Patrick Henry head coach Blair Penny. “They’re athletic and quick and fast, anyway – and they definitely took advantage

of that tonight. … We’ll go back to the drawing board tomorrow and see what happens.”

give Hanover a 6-0 lead heading into the break. LePeter finished with two goals and two assists to add another solid performance for Hanover, which executed its game plan nearly perfectly.

“Our styie of play is intended to be that way – crisp, fast, hard, push forward and attack from the defense,” Hanover head coach Manny Tavares said. “I couldn’t be prouder of these ladies tonight. They are on a good run.”

Hanover ended the game early, adding three more goals in the second half. LePeter started it off with a hard shot to the lower right corner of the net. Olivia Adams sent home a goal off a corner kick from Willa Coombs and Ciara Kocik rounded it out at the 22:35 mark.

Didlake praised her team’s complete performance.

“Our team came together really well to support senior night,” she said. “I feel like my team did a tremendous job passing, crossing the ball and every aspect of the game. We were a little bit slow to start with, but our team jumped back.”

GENTRY Continued from pg. 22

“I was worked up, and I wanted to hit and get on base, and I did,” Taylor said.

Her three-run homer a week earlier was the margin of victory in a 3-0 win at Hanover.

In the fourth, Sydney Guess singled, then Logan Hawker sent a line drive just over the right center field fence, and suddenly, Atlee’s lead was a single run at 5-4. Davis calmed down, retiring the next three batters, then her teammates went back to work at the plate.

Durbin was hit by a pitch, then, two batters later, catcher Emily Friel walked. That brought up April Hooper, who lined a double down the left field line, scoring both Durbin and courtesy runner Kayla Maxson. The Raiders had breathing room again at 7-4.

This game bore no resemblance to their first encounter March 29, when the Confederates outlasted the Raiders in a 2-0, eight inning pitchers’ duel. Fans could sense more offense was to come.

Hawker did not disappoint the Lee-Davis faithful, sending another line drive over the fence, this time to center field, the two-run blast making it, again, a one-run game at 7-6.

Henley, who along with Davis struggled with gripping the ball thanks to the muddy conditions and humid evening, turned a corner after the Hooper double in the fifth. The sophomore earned 10 of her 14 strikeouts in the final 4-1/3 innings to keep the Raiders off the scoreboard, and give her teammates what was at the time a final shot in bottom of the seventh.

In perhaps the biggest atbat of the night, McLaughlin, after falling behind 1-2, found healthy doses of resolve and patience, fouling off several pitches before drawing a leadoff walk. Taylor followed with a

double to send the tying run to third base.

Atlee intentionally walked Wagner to bring up Guess, who lined a hard grounder to Bernardini at second, who threw home for the force. When Friel threw to first to try for the double play, Taylor, rounding third, saw her opportunity.

“I was just going around third base, making sure she was throwing the ball, and when I saw her throw it, and she was off home plate, I just took my chance,” Taylor explained. The throw back home from Kara Hammock at first was late, and the game was tied.

“That was all the instinct of Lauren,” Lee-Davis head coach Jackie Davis said of Taylor’s tying run. “In the past two games with Atlee, we’ve had two very instinctive plays that have put us in a chance to win the game, and that was a hell of a play.”

Henley struck out the side in the eighth, while Lee-Davis left the winning run at second. In the ninth, international rule placed a runner at second base to begin the inning.

Bernardini’s sacrifice bunt sent sister Victoria to third base with two outs, but Henley fanned Davis to set up the game’s finale.

Wagner began at second, and after a popout from Guess and an intentional walk to Hawker, the stage was Gentry’s, getting her only hit of the night when she needed it most.

On Davis’ mind following the contest was the presence of the mental toughness necessary to overcome adversity.

“They were able to persevere tonight, they never got down, and they showed the fight that I wanted them to show when we played Prince George,” Davis noted, referencing her team’s only loss, 7-1 on April 16. “The way they were able to fight back tonight and give us a chance to win it in the end is huge.”

Lee-Davis still has three tough road trips beginning Friday at Patrick Henry. But a

Randolph-Macon center fielder Ryan Duphorn beats the throw to Roanoke shortstop Eli Sumpter to steal second in the Yellow Jackets’ 11-3 loss to the Maroons in the nightcap of a doubleheader Saturday. Despite the loss, Randolph-Macon, which won the opener 12-0, clinched its first Old Dominion Athletic Conference regular season title since 1987.

top seed in the Region 5B tournament, which begins May 25, is not out of reach.

Atlee, meanwhile, is looking up in the region standings at Lee-Davis, Prince George, Glen Allen and Mills Godwin in the loss column. Having five of their last seven games at home helps, as the Raiders hope 2018 mirrors 2015 when, despite six losses, they won the state championship.

For those hoping for a third round between these rivals, don’t be surprised if, come the end of May, that wish is granted.

Strawberries and bands make beautiful music

A

SHLAND – Each year, the Ashland Strawberry Faire showcases an abundant amount of musical talent on the Blackwell Stage.

Kevin Damian, the Faire’s music coordinator, has been booking bands for the Faire since 2010.

“The stage schedule books up really quickly. We have bands from all over contacting us now to play for the Faire,” Damian says proudly.

This year, the Faire is excited to see one of Hanover County’s own join the impressive list of bands playing on stage. Alex Roberson, a 2011 Patrick Henry High School graduate, is playing with his band, Honest Debts.

“I am the only Patrick Henry alum, but three of the four are Richmond natives … (drummer Blake Hurt and guitarist Matt Elgin), and we all live here now,” Roberson said.

Honest Debts is a four-piece blues rock ’n’ roll with diverse musical backgrounds. They mold elements of funk, rock, blues, and classic soul into a sound that’s all their own. The band is influenced by artists such as John Mayer, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Allman Brothers Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Dawes. The resulting songs are classic, fresh and exciting.

PumpHouse, another band based in Richmond, is excited to share its soulful originals

on the Blackwell Stage. The six-member band puts a creative spin on traditional blues and rock, and they deliver an engaging foot pumping groove.

The Hanover Concert Band, also known as “the musical ambassadors for Hanover County,” regularly performs at Ashland’s 4th of July Parade, the Hanover Tomato Festival, Ashland Train Day and other county events.

Started in 1989, the 40-member band is under the direction of Karla Bloom and rehearses at the Hanover Arts & Activities Center.

Recently crowned Hanover Idols, Jason Call and Madison Cox, are slated to perform on stage after the Hanover Concert Band. By day, Jason Call is a certified hand therapist and by night, he leads his own band, the Jason E. Call

Band. Jason also is an avid scuba diver and a marathon runner.

Madison Cox is 15 years old and a rising star on stage. She is currently rehearsing for the lead role in “Mary Poppins” for the Center Players. The show goes up in June at the Hanover Tavern.

Two more bands, Counter Point and Main Line also are scheduled to perform.

The Blackwell Stage is sponsored this year by Railside Law Group -- on the tracks in downtown Ashland.

Performances for the June

16th Ashland Strawberry Faire start at 10 a.m.: 10 to 11 a.m. – Hanover Concert Band 11:15 to 11:45 a.m.

– 2018 Hanover Idol and Hanover Jr. Idol (Jason Call and Madison Cox) 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. – “Mister and Miss Strawberry Pageant” sponsored

In preparation for the build week, Hanover Habitat and Lowe’s are asking women to get involved by signing up to volunteer and build!

“We’re excited to partner with Lowe’s to educate, inspire and empower women to advocate and help Habitat homeowners love where they live through building or improving an affordable place they can call home,” said Linda Tiller, executive director of Hanover Habitat for Humanity. “We want to engage women of all skill levels to join their friends, families and neighbors to build up their communities and volunteer where women will gain invaluable skills to

American Legion Riders Post 175 to host Poker Run

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Hodnett

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Carter, 511310, is a 1-year-old neutered male domestic short-haired feline. He has had his first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Carter is a very nice cat. He is young and playful. Carter has been in the shelter for a few weeks now. He has a playful personality, with a sweet demeanor.

Carter is really good around people. He also is litter trained.

Carter is the perfect family cat. Lexie, 508252, is a 3½-year-old spayed female pitbull. She has had her first set of vaccines given and is Heartworm test negative. Lexie has been in the shelter for almost two months now. She was surrendered by a previous owner who could not take care of her anymore. Lexie is well acquainted with being around all kinds of people. She is really friendly and easygoing. Lexie also seems to be house trained. She loves to go on leash walks. Shelter staff said that she will fit in with any household looking for a friendly dog for a pet. For more information on these great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays. You also can visit the website to see other animals available for adoption at http://hanovercounty.gov/ Animals/Adopt-a-Pet/.

“Lowe’s is in the business of helping people improve and maintain their homes,” said James Frison, Lowe’s director of Community Relations. “Lowe’s Heroes have helped build hundreds of Habitat homes across the country and National Women Build Week is another chance for Lowe’s to reinforce our long-standing commitment to Habitat, Women Build and communities where our employees and customers live and work.”

To learn more about National Women Build Week, visit Habitat.org/wb.

There are a few open spots available to volunteer in Hanover. If interested in joining other women for this event, contact Amanda Gunter, director of Community Engagement, at 804-569-6108 or agunter@ hanoverhfh.org.
