RICHMOND – City of Richmond Mayor Levar M. Stoney will deliver the commencement speech at Reynolds Community College’s 45th Commencement, which will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 13, at the Virginia Commonwealth University Stuart C. Siegel Center, located at 1200 W. Broad St. in Richmond. Mayor Stoney was sworn in as Richmond's 80th mayor on Dec. 31, 2016 -- he is the youngest mayor elected to serve the city. After serving as a Governor's Fellow in then-Gov. Mark Warner's office, he became the first African American Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the youngest member of Gov. Terry McAuliffe's cabinet. As Secretary, he led the largest, most public-facing office of the Governor's cabinet, and was the driving force behind transforming the process that restored civil and voting rights. Under his leadership, Virginia restored more rights than any other state in the country and more than the past seven administrations combined.

From the editor
Be thankful and tell mom you love her By Melody Kinser Managing Editor I’m blessed because my mother is here with me. She is 87 years old and still a dynamo: She drives around Mechanicsville taking care of our grocery shopping, her favorite pastime of retail buying, and making her weekly appearance for her hair appointment. When Mom moved here in 2009 from our hometown, she had lived in the same house she and Dad purchased in 1961 for 48 years. She was born in a house nearby and spent most of her life within two miles of the neighborhood in which I was raised. Even though her life was full in the coal mining hollow we knew as home for so long, Mom was well traveled. She and Dad were fortunate to cross
the country due to business and pleasure. Their goal with retirement was to travel more. Sadly, Dad died suddenly in 1992. Mom retired when they had planned and, she, along with other widowed educators, toured the United States and United Kingdom. She volunteered at one of the hometown hospitals, was on a bowling league for decades, and, most of all, served her church faithfully. She is considered the Church Mother and always acknowledged when we visit. Side note: Dad’s maternal grandfather was one of the founding members. Sunday we will celebrate Mother’s Day. I am fortunate to be able to still share the day with Mom and treat her special (I try to every day). It’s been an adjustment for the two of us living under the same roof again. Her move was prompt-
ed by my sister’s declining health, which also led to my relocation to Virginia in 2005. I had been on my own for more than 30 years and Mom had been living alone for 17. There are times when tensions may rise, but, despite any upheaval, she knows I love her. I thank God for every day we have together. We enjoy our lives in Hanover County and the fortune of having extended family in Chesterfield and Powhatan counties. I’ve already made lunch reservations for Mother’s Day at one of the city’s finer restaurants. Mom and Dad sacrificed for my sister and me so I’m happy to do what I can for her. On Sunday, if your mother lives nearby, spend time with her. If not, call her. Most of all, tell her you love her. That’s a year-round emotion.
Innovation brings new meaning to working for a living By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local
Making a living in America has become almost as diverse and innovative as the independent group of entrepreneurs who come up with the various methods to make a buck in the new millennium. You can have your dog walked, buy a new car or find a reputable roofer all with the touch of a finger aimed at the appropriate app. Just about anything
you can imagine you might desire or want is a click away, and there’s a universe of unique services out there just waiting for a customer. Some of them seem far-fetched, but in a new innovative world, who knows what the next million-dollar business is just around the corner. I suppose the first days of Facebook and Amazon were met with a fair amount of skepticism, and look how the future turned out for those companies. And who’s to say that a good idea

in one person’s mind is not a viable business in the estimation of another more skeptical opinion. Nonetheless, I fear some seemingly innovative ideas and products are providing solutions for problems that don’t exist, and some inventors and innovative entrepreneurs have become enthralled with the journey and less interested in the destination. Americans regularly tune in to shows like Shark Tank to see the latest innovative ideas and the brave entre-
preneurs who stake their life savings on the success of a dream. No doubt all of us like the idea of the little guy making it big with a simple idea that makes us all wonder “Why didn’t I think of that?” The last two entries in this infinite list of new services and businesses did not evoke that response from me, but, again, who I am to judge the validity a service that seems futile to me may provide to someone seeking that very assistance. see WORKING, pg. 8

Reader offers ideas on using $$ other than name changes This is in response to the letter about changing the names of some schools in Hanover County because they were named after Civil War generals. I agree that it is from a bad part of our history, but it is “part of history” and I think that is one way of preserving that part to show that part of history! And Petersburg wants to rename its schools also and it is broke! The dollar amount that I have heard is $18,000 to rename them. A private person would be willing to pay for that, but my question is why won’t they pay the city to help get out of debt? Just amazes me how they can waste money when so much is needed elsewhere! Whatever happened to common sense in this country? Just as leaving the statues on the Boulevard. Both are a waste of our money that could be better spent on something else. Like paying for fixing the housing problems the RRHA (Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority) is having. There are so many other places that the money could be put to use. Keeping the warming houses open when it’s cold, feeding the hungry, helping the homeless, fixing up the schools that are in need of repair. Why is it that the few can decide for the many? And they could use the money to pay their bus drivers better; some of us don’t make much. Ever notice the buses with the “bus drivers needed” signs on them? That is why they need drivers – they don’t pay enough to keep them. After they have been there awhile, they find better paying jobs – either driving for a different county or the City of Richmond.

I listened intently to a story about a woman who described herself as a professional cuddler. For $60 or so, a person can go to one of these snugglers’ homes, climb in bed and be caressed for 30 minutes. I know what you’re thinking. These folks are just finding a new variation in a profession that’s as old as mankind itself, but the cuddlers vehemently deny any sexual connection to what they do. Now, I’m not disputing the power of human touch to soothe and heal battered nerves, or the need of humans to experience the touch of fellow humans, but I’m not sure paying for it in half-hour sessions is a path to tranquility or well-being. One cuddler describes her services as a non-sexual positive touch, a description that some would define as an enigma. The lady on television said she made $85,000 last year hugging strangers. So somewhere out there exists a group of adults seeking a pajama
party kind of closeness that most of us have abandoned. And all of this makes me feel guilty for wanting the fair share of a double bed with clearly defined areas for each occupant, most of the time. Thankfully, I’ve mostly outgrown the urge to utter wellmannered outrage at these kinds of stories, so I made no comment as the story ended. I could feel my children as they silently awaited what they thought was a predictable reaction to this type of story. I didn’t say a word. The next story finally began, an in-depth investigation on what could become the latest money making trend in the Midwest. An enterprising lady was describing her new venture, a new form of meditational exercise called Goat Yoga. I only watched for a few seconds as members of her class achieved downward dog with a goat standing precariously on their back. “Now, that’s something that could really catch on,” I said as I exited the room. Sometimes, you have to cross them up!

Responding to politics and Trump’s impact (Editor’s note: The following is in response to a letter to the editor from Raymond Germeroth that appeared in the May 2, 2018, edition of The Mechanicsville Local.) Mr. Germeroth, first and foremost, I’m truly sorry for your family’s recent loss. That being said and re: your letter to The Mechanicsville Local on May 2 and all the delusional ranting therein (again) . . . believe me, I’ve tried soooo hard to forget that some people are merely blinded by race hate, ignorance and issues to the extent they cannot “see the forest for the trees.” Your “something tragic is about to happen . . .” is well, yes, it is truly tragic . . . but your timing is just off a bit. It’s tragic that the hatred of the black guy that headed up the 44th administration is still being obsessed over. It’s tragic that Trump lovers/worshippers bought all the lies. It’s tragic that the “Evangelical Community” has forgotten Jesus and has now (apparently) adopted Trump as
their lord and savior. Democrats (and I’m an Independent) have been winning from Southwestern Pennsylvania coal country to Deep South Alabama to all across my home state of Virginia, and, yes, they will continue this forward momentum and take over both houses of the United States Congress (bolstered by the 3.2 million high school seniors who’ve decided to trash the NRA and their Republican whores after the Parkland massacre). Then (if not before, please, Jesus) your god Trump will not only get impeached but he and his swindling adult children and his evil mob lieutenants will all see Leavenworth Prison walls from the inside out. “Thrown out of office” is just the beginning. As for “what did he do to be impeached” . . . 1. Fraud 2. Money laundering 3. Tax evasion 4. Collusion(s) 5. Treason . . . and that’s just the legal “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Then (as for immoral and unfit) . . . add 1. Stiffing vendors 2. Housing discrimination 3. Union busting 4. Fake charities 5. Scam university 6. 2,000-plus civil law suits 7. ½ dozen bankruptcies 8. Five military deferments
9. Three marriages 10. Multiple adulteries 11. Mocking the physically handicapped 12. Mocking a Gold Star Family 13. Disrespecting women (remember the “grabbing thing”) 14. Facilitating white supremacy (there’s more, but I’ll stop there). As far as “proving” or “disproving” ultimate collusion, the jury is still out. Robert Mueller was a
lieutenant in Vietnam. He earned the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. Mr. Mueller is a “long-time” Republican. He was originally appointed (FBI director) by George Bush. He is a “life-long legendary” prosecutor. He was the director of the FBI. Every high-level lawyer on Mueller’s team(s) is/ are Republican(s). Sir, the very first time I became interested in Donald Trump (June 2015) was when he said (during his “scam-pain” for “Oval Office occupier”)
what he did about Lt. Cmdr. (and Sen.) John McCain getting shot down over Hanoi (that’s the capital of [then] North Vietnam) . . . sickened me!!! Imagine (if you can) what being an F-4 fighter pilot must have been like (during peace time, even). I cannot, I was just a combat engineer in the U.S. Army (for a total of 24 years). Sen. McCain was “just above the deck” over Hanoi. Think about that for a moment see LETTERS, pg. 21

AAA recognizes Beaverdam student’s safety patrol efforts RICHMOND – As the 2017-2018 school year begins its final quarter, the MidAtlantic Foundation for Safety and Education and AAA MidAtlantic honored nine deserving students at this year’s Outstanding AAA School Safety Patrol Awards Luncheon in Richmond. The Foundation received dozens of applications from schools throughout the Commonwealth and selected the top nine nominees. The winners excelled in the areas of leadership, dependability, character and academics. These nine extraordinary students each received a $100 gift card and plaque from the Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education. Autumn Reed from Beaverdam Elementary School is among the nine winners chosen as 2017-2018 Outstanding
AAA School Safety Patrols of the year. When Autumn sees a student struggling with school safety -- for example, running into the school and pushing others -- she takes the time to talk to the student and hear their side of the story. Asking, “Why are you in a big hurry?” and “Do you need my help?” She encourages everyone to think of others’ safety as well as their own, to try better next time, and to learn from every situation. After an incident, she keeps her eyes out for that student and praises them for making the right choice. This followthrough and personalized commitment to safety has really helped make a positive difference at her school. “Every student involved in the School Safety Patrol program plays a key role in
keeping their fellow classmates safe,” Haley Glynn, traffic safety community educator for the Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education, said. “It is an honor to recognize the patrollers that have gone above and beyond the call of duty. These nine students truly exemplify the leadership skills we look for in great safety patrollers, and I know they are destined to go on to do bigger and better things.” The School Safety Patrol program began in 1920 in Chicago, Illinois. Today, there are approximately 654,000 students who serve as safety patrollers throughout the United States helping make schools safer; over 93,000 alone are in Mid-Atlantic territory.

Mechumps Creek Loving Critter Camp registration continues Restoration continues ASHLAND -- Construction for Phase II of the Mechumps Creek Restoration project started on April 9 and is expected to be completed by July 30. This section of the Mechumps Creek is between Hill Carter Parkway and Interstate 95. The Town of Ashland and Randolph-Macon College (R-MC) have been collaborating on restoring Mechumps Creek for several years. The current project is the second of two phases. Phase I, which was completed in 2009,
is between Cottage Greene Drive and Hill Carter Parkway. The purpose of a stream restoration is to reduce the effects of land development on the water quality in local streams, rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. The area draining to Mechumps Creek has been increasing developed over the past several decades. Much of the development was done before there were requirements for stormwater management. see MECHUMPS, pg. 17

ASHLAND -- In July, Hanover Humane will once again offer its "Loving Critter Camp" for animal-loving children (rising second through fifth graders) during summer vacation. Hanover Humane has dedicated this educational program for children in honor of Diana Lynn Loving, one of Hanover Humane’s patrons. Through eyes of the children enrolled in “Loving Critter Camp,” Loving’s respect, love, and appreciation for animals will live on.
"Loving Critter Camp" is the place where campers will learn about the animals that share our world from a knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff. Rising second through fifth graders will participate in age-appropriate lessons, crafts, and hands-on animal encounters that teach them respect and compassion for animal, and they also will learn how to provide a lifetime of care for
animals. During Camp, children will encounter all sorts of creatures, large and small, and will handle a wide variety of friendly pets. They will examine animals, both domestic and exotic, and learn what it takes to care for these animals as pets. The children will have the opportunity to meet individuals in the field such as animal trainers, animal handlers, etc., and will learn what it takes to work with these amazing creatures as pets. "Loving Critter Camp" is a five-day program, offered from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

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. Brittany, 507396, is a 2-year-old spayed female coonhound mix. She has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Brittany is a sweetheart of a dog -- and very, very friendly. Brittany has been in the shelter since February. She would love to find a forever home. She is super playful with both people and other dogs. She also is great on a leash. Brittany seems to be house trained. She will make a great pet for any household. Cotton, 512566, is a 1½-year-old spayed female domestic long-haired feline. She has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Cotton is a very nice cat. She was surrendered to the shelter last month. Cotton has been an indoor/outdoor cat so she is used to both environments. She is sweet around people, but does not like to
be held that long. She also is well litter trained. Cotton is ready to go home with you today. 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 804-3656485 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/.

jobs that are open. “So what it comes down to is for the jobs that are open, are there people out there currently looking who want a job or who are willing to take another job and have the right education, the certifications, the experience and wage expectations for those job openings. A lot of times the answer is no,” Davis said. The Partnership attempts to prepare those unemployed or displaced job seekers for alternative careers, or sets them on paths to obtain certificates that make them more viable in the job market. “We look at data to see what are the most in demand certifications that are advertised; what are the most in-demand skill-sets that are advertised and we try to work with the job seekers to get a base level of individuals that have those basic skills or certifications in the most demand industries.” Funding for those services is provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, as well as local funds from participating counties and cities. The Partnership operates three regional resource workforce centers located in Chesterfield, Henrico and Richmond. They offer job search resume assistance in addition to provided occupa-
tional training like tuition for certified programs or on the job training where the partnership covers half of the intern’s salary. The group also assists with clothing, transportation; childcare and even offers paid internships for those entering the workforce for the first time. Relying on a working relationship with local businesses by sponsoring job fairs and recruitment assistance, the Partnership can even financially assist businesses to upgrade their workforce. In Hanover, the Partnership joins forces with the Social Services Board to make clients aware of the services available at the three resource workforce centers. “That outlines how we refer customers between our services and increase awareness of what we are able to do and what other agencies are able to do,” Davis said. The agency also is establishing satellite access points at local libraries where citizens can access services and link to more extensive information. “We’re going to cross-train the library staff and give them access to online resources such as workshop information that they may not have had access to before,” Davis said. In addition, the Partnership will hold workshops at these
regional libraries to increase awareness and enhance accessibility. The bulk of services provided last year, about 39 percent, went to accommodate Richmond clients, and 29 percent originated from Henrico. Hanover County recipients represented about 6 percent of services rendered by the Partnership last year. More than 480 Hanover residents received services at one of the centers last year. Four businesses and more than 90 residents received training or assistance in 2017. Davis said the Partnership’s success is gauged by the number of people who get jobs and retain them in addition to job placement rates. Last year, about 74 percent of applicants were placed in jobs with an average retention rate of 89 percent and an annual average salary of $27,000. Supervisor Angela KellyWiecek, Chickahominy District, is Hanover’s board representative on the Partnership, and said the organization is performing “serious work.” “I think all of us can appreciate the frightening situation that some of our constituents find themselves in,” Kelly-Wiecek said. “This agency is ready to help. It is important that we move individuals and families forward with livelihoods.”

R-MC work delays variety show for a year ASHLAND --The producers, directors and music directors of the Ashland Musical Variety Show, sponsored by the Hanover Arts & Activities Center, announce that the next show will take place in 2020, instead of 2019. Blackwell Auditorium, on the campus of RandolphMacon College, is going to be renovated with exciting new construction that will include a new Black Box Theatre, studios, offices and some new areas for Blackwell. Blackwell Auditorium will be restored to its orginal style with an orchestra pit and new sound and lights. All of this is very exciting for the college
and the community. The leadership team of the show appreciates how the faculty, staff and administration at the college have generously worked with the show since 1982, making it possible for over 400 people to participate in each show. The show could not be done without the support and generousity of R-MC and Duncan Memorial United Methodist Church, which provides the backstage space for the large cast. After construction is complete, the show can easily go on, with rehearsals and performances that will not conflict with drama and musical instruction and performances of the college.

Students reminded of dress code ASHLAND – As temperatures start to become warmer, students in Hanover County Public Schools are reminded of the dress code. The Hanover County School Board adopted the following revised dress code for 2017-2018: Student Dress Code Student dress is an important factor in maintaining a positive educational environment. The school board and school division staff rely on parents and students to support the division’s emphasis on safety and avoiding disruptions in the learning environment. A student’s dress and appearance should not cause disruption, distract other students from their school work, or compromise health or safety. This dress code applies to all school functions. 1. For health and safety reasons, appropriate footwear, as determined by the building principal, must be worn at all times. 2. Skirts, dresses, jumpers, and shorts must completely cover the pelvic area and extend to the mid-thigh at all times, including while students are standing, sitting, or engaging in physical activity. 3. Clothing should not expose the student’s midriff, chest, or private areas at any time. 4. Sleeveless garments must have 2-inch straps and not expose undergarments. Spaghetti straps, tube tops, halter tops, camisoles, and tank tops may be worn under tops, shirts, and blouses that have at least 2-inch coverage across the shoulders.
5. Yoga pants and leggings may be worn with tops that provide additional coverage of the pelvic area. 6. Pants and shorts must be worn and secured to prevent the student’s undergarments from being exposed, to prevent the waistband from sagging below the student’s hips, and to prevent the garment from dragging on the floor. Students MAY NOT WEAR the following: 1. Clothing, jewelry, and other personal belongings displaying language or images that are vulgar, lewd, or obscene; that reflect adversely on or disparage another’s race, gender, sexual orientation, skin color, religion, national origin, ancestry, or disability; that promote the use of drugs, illegal substances, or alcohol; or that contain threats, gang symbols, symbols of groups associated with threatening or violent behavior, or groups that promote the unlawful use of weapons or other criminal behavior. 2. Hats, hoods, face masks, or head coverings of any kind while inside school buildings during regular school hours, unless worn for religious or medical reasons or approved in writing in advance by the building principal. 3. Sunglasses while inside school buildings unless required under a physician’s prescription. 4. Chains of any type or studded/spiked jewelry. 5. Pajamas, sleepwear, swim wear. 6. Clothing that is constructed of see-through fabric, is revealing, or that resembles undergarments.

votes, 2.68%. In absentee balloting, Hodges received 24 votes, 40.68%; Cook, 14, 23.73%; McGraw, 9, 15.25%; and writeins, 12, 20.34%. Of his victory, Hodges said, “I am so grateful to the voters of the Town for the trust they have placed in me as a council member. I will do my best to be worthy of that trust.” He also congratulated McGraw, who he said “ran a vigorous and comprehensive campaign that gained valuable knowledge of the sentiments of the voters that will be invaluable in his service on town council.” “It is shame that there was not another slot for Les Cook to serve on council,” Hodges added. “He ran a principled campaign that was a credit to the town. The town was fortunate to have these two such great candidates and it was an honor to run with them.” McGraw said his campaign took him door-to-door throughout the town. “I tried to hear from everyone so that I can represent the community well. Listening to all constituents is important to me and to the value of government.” “This is a wonderful town. Each candidate was uniquely qualified and all of us ran positive campaigns,” he said. McGraw congratulated Hodges and thanked “Les Cook for running a great campaign. I hope to see Les active in the community because this is a better place with him involved.” “I am thankful for everyone who supported me, and I look forward to the challenge of being a good steward and servant leader in the Town of Ashland. We need to maintain our town character as we move forward,” he said. Cook congratulated Hodges and McGraw, and noted, “This was an incredibly positive election of three candidates who all see HODGES, pg. 21

. . . I’ll wait. OK, then. Those who flew (and fly) fighter jets will tell you . . . the average Joe can’t even take the excessive G-Forces needed for a leisurely Sunday cruise over Byrd Field.” Then . . . over Hanoi??? All the while, “Cadet Bone Spurs” was being groomed by “Daddy Warbucks Frank” to swindle black apartment seekers (1973 and 1979) . . . up to and including the cheat of laborers for demolition for Trump Tower (Google Trump’s Polish Brigade). Your hero super-Trump was eluding the draft . . . five times; cowardly turning his back on our country when needed; huh, calling a war hero out for “getting shot down” . . . gimme a break !!! “Raiding Trump’s lawyer’s office” . . . was the U.S. Department of Justice going before a magistrate to obtain a warrant. The Justice Department clearly said they were “in fear that highly critical evidence would’ve been destroyed.” Say what you will, however, in order to get a warrant against an attorney at the federal level with a magistrate’s approval is nearly impossible. Ask any lawyer. For the magistrate to have been convinced says everything!! Have you ever noticed that Trump literally “could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue” and (you people) would let him get away with it ?? And make no mistake, sir, they (DOJ) have not strayed from the treasonous acts by Trump in the Russian probe. “Firing Robert Mueller?” First of all, that would not stop the investigation. Second (and more importantly) Trump (Treasonous Trump) was initially told by Assistant Attorney General Sally Yates that Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn could be compromised by
Russia . . . she (acting in a professional manner) got fired for this. Then James Comey was fired. Now it’s “Fire Rod Rosenstein?” Question, sir: Do you see a pattern?? “What is the President afraid of?” . . . personally I think Trump has been afraid all of his life!!! Oh, yes, and “Chuck Schumer/Nancy Pelosi Fake News” . . . “Fake News” ... ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NYT, WAPO, AP were never ever referred to as “Fake News” until the fake idiot used the term. Ask yourself, “Is Fox News all you listen to?” “We’re tired of the witch hunt” . . . speak for yourself. Critically thinking people are not tired of the intense investigation being conducted at the highest levels of our federal government by people who are career specialists and hot on the trail of “real crooks and criminals” (in Trump’s back pocket). Then you rattle on about “Democrats and taxes and ruining our country.” Then you go to (my favorite, “Trump’s nominees”). Each and every Cabinet member is the very antithesis of what the office is all about . . . two words, “Scott Pruitt.” Then, oh, yes, my true favorite “he (Trump) has brought many jobs back to our country” . . . Ha!!! If you were to bother to check out Trump’s “overseas companies” you’ll see sweat shops, forced labor, child workers. Where do you think 90% of Trump’s products are made . . . well, Eric and Donnie Jr. spend lots of time in Malaysia, don’t they?! Look at Ivanka’s clothing to see . . . yup, “ made in China.” Then (here it comes) “strongly pro-life, pro-Christian, pro-Israel” . . . and further (he he heh) “for God, for Israel . . .” How about you go to this link and see for yourself the “evangelical worship of god
Trump”:. https://www.facebook. c om / 3 1 2 3 8 3 7 6 1 8 7 1 / v i d eos/10154707764051872/ Then (here we go again, again) the “recent move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem . . . “. . . I’ll tell you what (without getting too deep into Judeo-Christian philosophy) since Trump touts himself as a “builder/developer” . . . I wouldn’t be surprised for one millisecond if Trump would tell his good buddy Beebee Netanyahu that “he’d also be glad to rebuild Solomon’s temple.” Admirals, generals . . . higher-leveled Republicans . . . all of Bush’s family even Ted Cruz . . . have said over and over how concerned they are for our future under this petit dictator. As for all the pomp and ceremony with evangelicals . . . Jesus said out of His own mouth, “Many will come in My Name saying they are the Messiah . . . sir, go read the Synoptic Gospels . . . Mathew 24:5 . . . Luke 21:8. . . Mark 13:6 . . . these all tell it like it is. The likes of Jim Jones . . . David Koresh . . . (Charles Manson) will all pale in comparison to this . . . mark the words of “one in the wilderness.” Shucks, even now Dr Borenstein’s admitted his original report that “Trump’s health is the greatest ever” says the original was a “fake diagnosis” orchestrated by . . . you guessed it, your god Trump. A “patriot” is best defined as a first responder or a military member who’s donned a uniform and risked death if need be to protect people like you with your First Amendment rights (unfortunately) . . .certainly not one who cowers behind five bone spurs!!! Finally, with your insults of “punks on the left . . .” I could easily counter with “Nazis on the right” (who, by the way, showed their evil and murdered a lady with a car in Charlottesville last August).

It is comforting to know that so many people care about the future of our town,” Cook said. “I hope that our election can serve as an example of how civil political campaigns can be.” Hanover County Voter Registrar Teresa “Teri” Smithson said there were 40 absentee voters in the town election. “A special thanks goes out to Hanover County’s Officers of Elections serving the Town of Ashland citizens: Maureen Wright, chief; Quentina Kinney, assistant chief; Janet StraussJones, officer of election; and Joyce Smith, officer of election,” Smithson said. Ashland’s General Election provided an opportunity for Smithson’s office to help in training a newly-appointed deputy registrar from Goochland County. She was contacted by Winston Forrest, who serves as general registrar/director of elections for Goochland, who asked if Kendall Hutchinson could receive hands-on training and experience as an officer of election in the town election. see HODGES, pg. 24

end of the high school playoffs. After the end of the regular season, the Post plays in the District Tournament to determine who goes on to the State Tournament. Beyond that, there is the Regional Tournament and then the American Legion World Series in Shelby, North Carolina. There is no cost to the players to play for Post 175, and
they are issued uniforms provided by the Post, which makes them stand apart from other Summer Baseball Programs. The cost is completely covered by Post 175. American Legion Baseball has produced many Major League Baseball players, and many that have gone on to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame, including, this year,
Chipper Jones and Jim Thome. Other Hall of Famers who played American Legion Baseball include Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Yogi Berra, Frank Robinson, Johnny Bench, Steve Carlton, George Brett, Tom Glavine, Mike Piazza, and Greg Maddox, just to name a few. Many favorite players played American Legion
Baseball, such as Roger Clemens, Joey Gallo, Bryce Harper, Matt Holliday, Rick Porcello, Albert Pujols, and Justin Verlander. In 2017, Post 175 had a player from Hanover High School, Antonio Balducci, who was submitted to the American Legion Department of Virginia as a candidate for an American Legion Baseball Scholarship.
He received a scholarship award from the Department of Virginia and an All-Academic Team Scholarship from the American Legion National Organization, sponsored by Diamond Sports Inc. For more information on the Post and team, go to www. post175.org and click on the “Legion Baseball” tab on the left.
of those localities.” “The Commonwealth’s Registrar Community is a strong and tight-knit group of professionals that continuously work together to retain continuity throughout the state’s election process,” she added.
Smithson said she and her staff “were happy to assist.” Deputy Registrar Sheilah Frattini, who handles all of Hanover’s election officials, had Hutchinson report at 5 a.m. at the poll. The trainee performed the same duties as
any officer of election -- from training, to setting up the voting precinct, and not departing until every vote was accounted for on Election Day. “The experience Mrs. Hutchinson took away from that day was invaluable,”
Smithson added. “She not only got to see the processes, and work with the election equipment during a live election, but she was able to take away many of the ‘best practices’ used in Hanover County. What better way to learn what your offi-
cers of election do and need on Election Day than to be one yourself? This experience has given Mrs. Hutchinson not only the knowledge of what goes on out in the voting precincts but she gained it through an officer of election’s perspective.”

Softball contests spark plenty of fireworks By Jonathan Howard For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – There was plenty of excitement on Hanover County softball fields Friday night as both inter-county matchups ended in walk-off fashion in extra innings. Atlee came from behind to defeat visiting Hanover 3-2, while Patrick Henry toppled Lee-Davis 4-3. Atlee’s victory came one out later than scheduled, on a base hit from third baseman Victoria Bernardini. Hanover put runners on second and third in the top half of the inning but did not score. The Raiders answered in the bottom half with three consecutive singles off Hawks reliever Leslie Currie from Atlee pitcher Rachel Davis, Kayla Maxson and Sydney Kuester. Riley Smith followed the trio with a fly ball to left field that was caught, and Davis’ courtesy runner, Brooke O’Donell, sprinted home from third to score what appeared to be the winning run. Hanover felt that O’Donnell left the bag too early, however, and challenged the play. The umpires agreed and called O’Donnell out. Bernardini then shot a single to center to score Maxson and end the game. “I was really nervous. We had two outs and if I don’t get a hit, or anything that will score a run, we’d have to go into [inter-

an eighth-inning jam to set the stage for Bernardini’s heroics. Davis finished with 14 strikeouts on the night. Atlee was able to put run-

C-feds blow lead, still earn victory over PH he needed the perfect throw for any chance at preserving his team’s precarious one-run lead. His throw landed right at the plate, beating Oxendine by a split second, the tag earning the second out. “He’d already hit it to me once, so I was out there praying for the ball,” Davis said. Strattman, after walking Nick Zook, struck out Taylor with the winning run at first as the Confederates improved to 8-7. “Patrick Henry is always a close game, it’s a big win,” Davis said.
By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – Jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first against your oldest rivals on the road is a good thing, but isn’t without its pitfalls. “We kind of fell into that lapse of, okay, we’ve scored a lot of runs, we’re going to cruise in this game. We’ve got to remember, they are teenagers,” said Lee-Davis head baseball coach Tyler Johnson. “It really took until that seventh inning when we had to battle back to regain their focus.” The seventh inning began with Lee-Davis down 5-3, as Patrick Henry sought another comeback victory over a county rival like its win at home over Atlee two weeks earlier. But the Confederates would not be denied, tying the game, then seizing it back on a Braden Lambert solo home run to lead off the eighth, finishing the 6-5 victory with a defensive gem for an important win in the Region 5B playoff race. For the Patriots (10-4), the loss was especially tough, losing both a late lead and two key starters, center fielder Zack Plageman and shortstop Hunter Hart, to injury. Starter Gabe Lassiter bounced back from giving up those three first inning runs to shut out LeeDavis over the next five innings. In the seventh, Lassiter allowed a single to Lee-Davis reliever Jalen Strattman, struck out Hunter Beck, and got Brent Allen to fly out. But he couldn’t get the complete game victory as Patriots head coach Sam Hart went to reliever Connor Logan with a 2-0 count on Jack Rice, who had two hits coming into the at-bat. Rice walked, bringing up Zach Lass, who drilled a 1-0 pitch into right center field for a base hit. Cole Harding,

On the first pitch of the eighth, Braden Lambert stepped to the plate. “I was thinking, man, I’ve got to get a team hit, get in scoring position,” Lambert recalled. “[Zach] Lass, before I got up there, said all he’s doing is throwing fastballs. Be ready for
that first one and jump on it.” Lambert did, sending the first pitch down the left field line and over the fence for the 6-5 lead. It would be the pitching of Strattman, a freshman, and a remarkable defensive play by right fielder Logan Davis, that would seal the key Lee-
Davis victory. Terrance Oxendine singled to lead off the Patrick Henry eighth, moving to second on a sacrifice bunt. Timmy Matthews, batting in Hart’s spot, launched a single to right field. The blazing fast Oxendine rounded third, and Davis knew
Hawks come from behind MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee also needed a win to improve its standing in the Region 5B playoff race, but after scoring three runs to tie Hanover 4-4 after five innings, watched the visiting Hawks score four of their own in the top of the sixth to help seal an 8-5 victory The result sent the Raiders to 9-6, while Hanover moved to 8-5. A sacrifice and three walks loaded the bases for the Hawks with one out in the pivotal sixth. Colby Hutnan scored on a passed ball to retake the lead at 5-4, then Nick Zona lined a single to center to bring home Will Lopez and Jack Dragum. Zona wasn’t done, stealing second, third, then home for the final run of the inning. Camden Grimes got the win with 2-2/3 innings of relief, striking out six while giving up just a run in the bottom of the sixth. “We struck out eleven times and that’s a credit to their pitching,” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum. “I thought we put pressure all night on them on the bases.

Benedictine defense clamps lid on Hanover By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch GOOCHLAND – With a healthy lineup, the Hanover baseball team had won seven straight games and made up for an 0-4 start to the season. But on Wednesday, the Hawks were outplayed by Benedictine, and their bats were subdued by Casey Green in a 2-1 loss. Hanover (7-5) got the tying run to third base in the top of the seventh inning. Blake Doggett led off with a double, a shot he sent to the left-field warning track. Then a wild pitch put pinch runner Noah Biggs at third base. With the tying run 90 feet from home, Green went to first base and was replaced by freshman Jay Woolfolk. On a 2-2 count, Hanover’s Colby Hutnan sent a hard-hit ground ball to the right side. But Green dived to his right and snagged the ball. He leaped up, threw home, and catcher Holden Fiedler put the tag Biggs. “It’s just instinct,” Green said. “It’s over before you know it.” Woolfolk struck out the next two batters and ended the game.

He had a diving stop in the season opener against Potomac, and he threw a runner out at home against Midlothian. “He’s a really athletic kid, and he’s smart,” Benedictine coach Sean Ryan said. “He gets tremendous reads off the bat.” Green’s worst inning came in the third. He plunked three batters and loaded the bases. But he forced a pop out, then picked off Dragum at second to escape the jam. Then he cruised through the next two innings before allowing an unearned run in the sixth. He often pitches better as the game goes on. His approach is to dominate the first inning, because he knows it’s when he’s most susceptible to getting hit. This time, he cruised in the first, worked out of trouble in the second and third, then eased his way through the next two innings. Hanover left five runners on base, four of whom were in scoring position.

R-MC baseball advances in ODAC By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – RandolphMacon’s baseball team began the last weekend of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference regular season with a topsy-turvy performance: a blowout win over Roanoke in the opener of a doubleheader, followed by a blowout loss to the Maroons in the closer. Friday, after walloping Bridgewater 17-7 in the opener and then falling behind 3-0 in the first inning of the nightcap of a doubleheader against the Eagles in the first round of the ODAC baseball tournament, the Yellow Jackets had some wondering if they had a repeat
performance in mind. The wonderers need not worry: Nothing of the sort was in order. Instead, RandolphMacon scored four runs in the second inning, then added six in the fourth – four on a grand slam by Michael Nickles – to give Bridgewater another walloping, this time by a 17-3 margin. The Yellow Jackets head to City Stadium in Lynchburg Saturday for a second-round game against Shenandoah in the second round of the ODAC tournament.

would take advantage of a series of Lee-Davis miscues to get back in the game. Caroline Quigley started it off by drawing a walk one-out walk. Saxon Radcliffe, Blair Rhodes, and Erin White all followed by reaching on errors. Combined with aggressive Patriot base running, it was
a recipe for disaster for LeeDavis, leading to game-tying runs for Patrick Henry. Dull gave up a single in the top of the eighth inning, but allowed no runs, setting up the Patriots’ victory. She led off the bottom half of the inning with a single and was replaced by courtesy runner Avery Houchens. Houchens advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, went to third on a wild pitch, and scored on another wild pitch to give Patrick Henry the win. Patrick Henry head coach Lance Lestourgeon said his job was to manage his team’s emotions. “I focus more on the mental part. It was my job tonight to keep my team medium: not too high, not too low.

He said the Yellow Jackets’ response in the second inning was critical. “That was a big four-spot we had in that second inning,” Hedrick said. “Ryan Duphorn had a really big at-bat, had a [triple] in that inning that was the difference. It kind of got our mojo back for us. And then [starting pitcher Nick] Roth was able to settle down and be effective.” Duphorn stepped up to the plate with two outs. Michael Nickles had drawn a one-out walk and Zach Evans had singled one out later when Duphorn hit a deep ball to leftcenter field. He scored on a Jeff Butler double and Butler scored on a Cole Migliorini single to make it 4-3. Roth went sent innings, striking out eight while allowing eight hits and three runs. Mike Gallagher and Cullen Moore came in for an inning of shutout relief apiece. As evidenced by their run production in the opening game, a one-run margin wasn’t enough to keep the Eagles at bay.

Examples include elbow and arm injuries to teenagers who play baseball or softball all year long, shoulder injuries to year-round swimmers, wrist and elbow injuries to gymnasts, and stress fractures to soccer players. The culprit, most often, is what’s commonly known as
“sport specialization,” the process of playing the same sport all year long with the goal of either gaining a competitive edge or earning a college scholarship. It involves intense, yearround training in a single sport. Research shows that sports specialization is putting teenage athletes at risk.

the Confederates into mistakes in the end, but also noted that more can be learned from a loss of this magnitude than a blowout win. “We gain so much more from a game like this – regardless of the outcome – in preparing for the playoff season than we do beating a team 10-0 or

of Wisconsin, high school athletes who specialize in a single sport are 70 percent more likely to suffer an injury during their playing season than those who play multiple sports. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons says much the same. It reports that “overuse injuries” (injuries caused when an athletic activity is repeated so often that parts of the body do not have enough time to heal) are responsible for nearly half of all sports inju-
ries to middle school and high school students. There is a solution. Young athletes should be encouraged to play multiple sports. When student-athletes cross-train, they work different muscle groups and joints which, in fact, results in better overall conditioning. They also develop a new set of athletic skills like hand-eye coordination, balance, endurance, explosion and agility that are transferable to their primary sport.
It’s no coincidence that 30 of the 32 first-round picks in the 2017 National Football League draft played multiple sports in high school. Parents can play a key role in preventing these overuse injuries by encouraging their kids to play multiple sports rather than pushing them to specialize in one sport. They will have more fun, will be less likely to suffer burnout and will become better athletes.
