Lee-Davis registers over 65% of eligible seniors in pursuit of voting award Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com STAFFORD — Since Virginia’s Nov. 7 General Election in 2017, high school students across the Commonwealth have been planning and organizing voter registration trainings and drives to empower their peers to vote.

These “Inspired Leaders,” students support-

ed by the nonprofit, nonpartisan organization Inspire U.S., have registered over 5,000 students in Virginia schools over this past spring. Many of them hope to win the Commissioner’s Award for Voter Registration, an award sponsored by the Governor of Virginia, Virginia Department of Elections, the League of Women Voters, and Inspire U.S.

High schools that have registered over 65% of their senior class registered to vote will receive the Commissioner’s Award.

The mission of Inspire U.S. is to “transform young leaders' inspiration into action that improves our communities and strengthens our democracy.”

Inspired Leaders not only register their peers

to vote, but focus on connecting their classmates with elected officials and turning young people out to vote on Election Day. Lee-Davis High School has registered 69% of its eligible senior class, around 256 students.

Rachel Donlin, a senior and Inspired Leader at Brooke Point, said she hopes to see more see LEE-DAVIS, pg. 4

"Registering to vote means that you're finally able to have a voice in our democratic process. Doing this in high school helps to remind us that it is now our responsibility to take part in deciding the course of

Stephen Salvato, government department chair at LeeDavis, echoed Donlin’s sentiments. "Voting is one of the most important tools we have; our democracy only works when people are able to voice their opinion.

Registering students to vote in high school is so important because if they register now, they are more likely to vote in the future."

Planning director David Maloney displays an example of the type of summary currently provided to board members regarding upcoming zoning cases.

ago, and, currently, only board members whose district contains the application location receive full packets.

“The staff is here to accommodate your desires as a board,” Maloney said.

“We don’t want information overload, but obviously we’re at information underload,” assistant county administrator Frank Harksen said.

Chair Sean Davis, Henry District, cited a current rezoning involving 233 acres off Route 33 near the Holly Farms Plant. The application is scheduled to proceed to the Planning Commission next month for consideration, and at least one community meeting has been held with adjoining neighbors.

But Davis said many in the area are unaware of this massive project that will increase the county’s size by “the size of Ashland,” in Davis’ words.

“I think there’s some confusion with the big development proposed on Route 33. My planning commissioner said he hadn’t seen this,” Davis said.

“That doesn’t mean he didn’t see the application … but he may not know what it entails.”

In any case, Davis expressed concern that a project as big as Lake District, the Route 33 project, should have more time for board members than the 70 days now remaining before the case could be heard by supervisors.

“This is going to the Planning Commission in June and coming to the board in July,” Davis said. “You can’t have a board member looking at plans 65 days before the possibility of coming before the board for a project that is the size of the Town of Ashland,” Davis concluded.

County administrator Rhu Harris said complete applications are sent to every Planning Commissioner meeting days after it is filed.

Supervisors receive a cursory summary on those applications that sometimes is too brief.

Several members of the committee said more information is needed for both officials and the citizens affected by the changes.

HANOVER — The Hanover County Board of Supervisors is searching for a better method of staying informed when it comes to board notifications on upcoming rezoning requests and Comprehensive Plan changes.

Planning director David Maloney outlined the current system at a recent meeting of the Community Development Committee, and heard concerns from some members that major rezoning projects are sometimes, taking them by surprise.

Maloney said his department employs a detailed process once an application is received in order to ensure critical information is contained in the request.

While Planning Commission members receive full packets regarding the applications, board members receive a “name, rank and serial type” summary.

“What we’re here to do is to ask you to give us some guidance as to what you would like to see in terms of applications that are being filed and how we communicate that information to you,” Maloney said.

He suggested keeping the same system but providing more details in those reports to board members, similar to the staff reports they receive at board meetings.

“That will provide some insight into details of what’s been filed even though you don’t receive the full application packet,” Maloney said.

Past boards have requested full packets for each application for all supervisors, but that policy changed several years

LETTERS

From the managing editor

| Reader Views

There were five and now there are three

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Alice, Cindy, Leah, Pam and I first met in junior high school (grades 7 through 8 -- before the middle school concept was implemented in my hometown). Our friendship grew stronger as we entered high school, with all of us being members of the marching band.

We didn’t have some cute or cool name (like the “Pink Ladies” from the movie “Grease). We were five friends who shared many laughs and mischievous moments (yes, we were known for Halloween pranks like “TP’ing” a teacher’s house).

We had slumber parties where we’d stay up all night listening to the hits of the 1970s, eating junk food, and, of course, talking about boys. Back then, you could make prank calls because Caller ID didn’t exist.

Growing up in a small town had some advantages, especially the hangouts like sitting on the curb of two popular drive-ins.

We would circle the block in the downtown repeatedly to see who was out and about.

I’ll hold to those memories and relive moments through photos. Writing and fighting back tears is oddly therapeutic.

Band trips, school dances, graduation, college, employment, marriage, children, grandchildren and retirement filled in the years as some of us went our separate ways. Then an event like a parent’s death would bring us together again -- even if only through calls and cards.

Technology then provided an outlet for each to stay in touch, without worrying about someone’s schedule or responsibilities. We all turned to social media, and, then, as our 40-year reunion approached (2014), a couple of us went to a minireunion in 2011.

We were Baby Boomers, all born in 1956.

Alice had been ill, so her death, while still heartbreaking, wasn’t as surprising as Pam’s passing last week. Both were mothers and grandmothers.

Alice had been an elementary school teacher and Pam was an RN. They loved their families with such great devotion and dedicated their lives to their work.

Last Wednesday was filled with sadness and a numb feeling. Where had the years gone and how was it that there had been five and now there are three?

We seem too young to have experienced two significant losses in just over a year.

When I learned about Pam’s death Tuesday night, my mind swirled with disbelief and attempts to focus on the many good times -- and there were many. She hosted the after-party the night of our Senior Prom. I’m not sure why that came to mind as I tried to reconcile what had happened to her.

As we prepare to say goodbye to Pam, I’m blessed in knowing that the last few years were filled with texts ending with “Love you.”

Cindy, Leah and I will continue to share stories of when there were five.

A soldier’s boots proving to be a family treasure

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist When my father returned home from World War II, he left most of the reminders of Army life behind, and, unlike many of his friends dads, he left uniforms, weapons and mementos behind.

He had other things on his mind,

namely a newlywed wife and a strong desire to get on with his life. Besides a couple of trunks that sat in our attic never opened for years and a pair of old worn combat boots, that portion of his life seemed buried.

As children, we would gather the few items he did retrieve and play army in our backyard. Two older

shelter halves and some rickety poles served as our headquarters, and we huddled in what we called our bivouac and made plans to defeat the Germans.

I had my father’s old canteen, a few badges and medals whose meanings I hadn’t a clue and an old hat from his days as a lieutenant in the quarter-

master corps.

It seemed my friends had much more WWII paraphernalia, and some wore old uniforms, wore battle-worn knapsacks, and bragged that their fathers still had a knife from the war.

Kudos to you since it is imperative that people need to truly understand the impending danger Donald Trump poses in general to us all. To continue to deny Trump’s criminal activities as he bolsters his own coffers is surely denial on levels beyond cognitive dissent.

Folks here and everywhere have seen in just two or three weeks, three more issues which will affect them in direct fashion (chronologically backwards): 1) Dodd/Frank has just been laid to rest. This was a mechanism that helped protect “these people” (ardent Trump supporters [as well as us all]) from losing their mortgage so easily.

Trump has already decided to give his approval. My son lost his mortgage (and home) because of greedy bank practices Dodd/Frank went after.

2). Trump took a sympathetic tone for “Chinese workers” then relieved a $500 million stipend for his Malaysia Trump development project (from Xi Jing Ping). This will facilitate and enable global organized crime to grow like a Hanover Tomato using Miracle Grow just before our county’s Tomato Festival. Additionally, China’s control of the global economy has gone from 4% in 2000 to 31% today as our involvement has shrunk considerably (this is a direct danger to our global strategic interests).

3). Trump’s decided to “investisee LETTERS, pg. 8

I never paid much attention to the old boots, but, they, somehow, seemed like his most valued memento from his war days. Despite my mother’s insistence that we throw the old eyesores out, he managed to hang on to those boots.

We only saw him wear the boots when it snowed, and while the rest of us struggled with non-forgiving rubber boots, he slipped on what must have been familiar-feeling boots.

He would tuck in his tailored pants into the worn boots, and, as he stood outside, you could sense the boots transformed him to his days in the Army. We thought the boots looked funny with his pleated pant legs tucked neatly around the tops, but we showed him and the boots the

Not to mention, the inability of law enforcement agencies to implant vice detectives where a magistrate has had evidence presented to them that criminals are “engaging in high crimes, misdemeanors and felonies.” No one will want to conduct ardent and vital undercover work for fear their identity will be compromised.

As they years passed, the boots were relegated to a corner in our furnace room.

Each year, they became more weathered and worn, finally approaching what looked to be an unwearable condition.

The boots were there on Christmas Eve 1960 when he died unexpectedly from a massive heart attack. My mother always believed my father’s time in the Army contributed to his early demise, and the boots became a reminder of that sad reality; but, somehow, they survived and remained tucked in that corner, undisturbed.

Decades later I returned to my mother’s house to change the filter on the furnace, and noticed that the boots were no longer there. I didn’t ask.

I didn’t have to. I was convinced the boots had finally received their just reward from

my mother.

Years later, when my mother passed, my daughter and I were cleaning out an old jewelry box and discovered all of those old medals we wore as children tucked away in a small pouch. The fact she had saved the faded silver and gold bars, the brightly colored decorations from the campaigns in which he served and the numerous patches from his uniforms surprised me. It shouldn’t have.

I realized that because those things were important to my father, they were valuable to my mother, an important memento of a span in his life.

I immediately thought of those boots and had a degree of lament as I considered their fate.

Years later, the furnace finally quit and had to be replaced and I went by the house to watch as workers

Then there are the Trump worshippers in and around Mechanicsville Local land who really would allow him to shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not do anything.

As for Dr. Richard Ryder’s “battering of Trump” ....

From the week after President Obama was inaugurated (vastly more in attendance than Trump’s, by the way) until Jan. 19, 2017, I was embarrassed by all the racehate he had to endure from the likes of Mr. Germeroth to Mr.

Memorial Day observance in Hanover gets bigger each year

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

Siz

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

Brigadier General William Jones, above, provided the keynote address. At right, United States Navy retired Jay Kelley places a wreath at the base of the Memorial.

He shared his memories of his visits to the Memorial, and the thousands of stories that accompany each memorial brick at the site.

He spoke of Kenneth Clodfelter, a young Hanoverian killed in the attack on the U.S. Cole, and reflected on the impact that each death represented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know there were many families in Hanover County touched by war,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our presence here today is testament that we will never forget the sacrifice of those who, in the words of President Lincoln, gave the last full measure of devotion.â&#x20AC;?

Dan Johnson, chairman of the Hanover Veterans Memorial Committee, emceed the event that is sponsored by Hanover County Parks and Recreation. American Legion Post 175 and VFW Post 9808 also participated in the service, highlighted by a rifle salute from the Hanover County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Color Guard that featured deputies who have served in various services.

The Hanover Concert Band provided patriotic music but missed one of its members for this performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some say they sound bet-

ter without me,â&#x20AC;? Jones joked.

A number of Hanover officials attended the ceremony, including board of supervisors and school board members, administrators and other elected officials.

All noted a solemn significance that accompanies Memorial Day in Hanover County, a community that values and appreciates those who served or continue to serve at posts around the world and closer to home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see people out here who are not veterans, like me, celebrating our veterans.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud of my fellow Hanoverians for showing what this holiday is truly about,â&#x20AC;? said South Anna supervisor Wayne Hazzard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great representation of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great about Hanover,â&#x20AC;? said school board member Bob Hundley who attended the service with his father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to get earlier and earlier each year,â&#x20AC;? said board colleague Roger Bourassa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to honor those who served this country.â&#x20AC;?

HANOVER -- There are a lot of things to do on Memorial Day. Some families hurry to the pool for the first hints of summer fun while others gather with family and friends for a backyard barbeque. For others, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one place to be on this solemn day reserved to recognize service members who gave their lives for their country.

The Hanover Veterans Memorial held its 11th Memorial Day ceremony last week, and, from all indications, it drew record crowds.

U.S. Air Force (retired) Gen. William Jones provided the keynote speech at the celebration, which drew veterans, local officials and citizens who gathered to show appreciation for the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

He served all over the world during his military service.

After retirement from the Air Force, Jones became a corporate pilot and volunteer high school track coach and serves in the Hanover County Concert Band.

Jones talked about a group of students questioned regarding the meaning of Memorial Day. He said they responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the day the pool opens.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those of us here, this day certainly has a deeper meaning,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one day each year set aside to honor men and women who died in service of our country.â&#x20AC;?

Originally called Decoration Day to honor fallen soldiers from the Civil War, the holidayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s origins date back to 1868.

Jones recalled the dedication of the Hanover Veterans Memorial more than a decade ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This memorial is a place for remembrance and reflection.â&#x20AC;?

By Lorie Foley Ashland Strawberry Faire ASHLAND – The Ashland Strawberry Faire is a tradition not only for families, but also long-time vendors like the Clay Springs Ruritan Club.

Clay Springs Ruritan Club Donald Loving, a longtime member of the Clay Springs Ruritan Club, remembers the first Ashland Strawberry Faire in 1982. “We brought a ring toss game for the kids when the Faire was held on the R-MC football field,” Loving said.

Clay Springs Ruritan Club was chartered in 1962 with the mission of fellowship, goodwill and community service. “We raise money and then give it to the rescue squad, fire department, ACES, Christmas Mother, and other community groups,” said Loving.

In recent years, the club has donated a $1,000 scholarship to a Hanover high school senior.

Since the mid 1980s, Clay Springs Ruritan Club members have been grilling hamburgers, cheeseburgers and hot dogs for Faire guests in all kinds of weather. “We do pretty well at the Faire,” Loving said.

New this year, Haley is bringing strawberry honey to the Faire.

In two weeks, Haley’s Honey is expanding its business in Hopewell to include the production of honey wine, a modern twist on mead, an ancient drink.

Asked why she has been coming to the Faire so long, she said “The Faire is a family-oriented event, it is wellorganized, and there are a variety of vendors.”

They specialize in crocheted kitchen towels, plastic bag holders, dishcloths and kitchen angels. Her son makes “goodie gloves,” an oven mitt stuffed with baking mix and a spatula.

“We think the Faire is great … we try to stay in the same place every year because our repeat customers seek us out,” says Stetler.

Wood That Walks Don Varner has been bringing his walking sticks to the Ashland Strawberry Faire for at least eight years. “I do really well at the Faire,” Varner said.

Varner whittles walking sticks with a pocket knife, carving objects in wood that he picks up in New Kent County.

This is the 15th year that First Baptist has been doing the Faire. But what Dixon is most proud of is that all of the money raised from the Faire goes directly to local and international missions outside of church.

For the past two years, 100% of the funds raised have gone to Operation Shoebox, an international ministry.

Church volunteers pack shoeboxes with clothing, crayons, balls, dolls, toothbrushes, etc, and the boxes are shipped all over the world. It is a year-long project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2017, we packed over 4,000 shoeboxes,â&#x20AC;? Dixon said proudly.

Change announced for Atlee High School polling precinct HANOVER -- On Tuesday, June 12, the Republican and Democratic parties will hold a dual primary election to elect candidates for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, respectively.In a Dual Primary, the parties’ primaries are held on the same day.

There will be one change in Hanover County voting locations on June 12, affecting those who vote at Atlee High School. Atlee High School serves as Hanover’s 304 Atlee polling precinct.

Due to the high number of registered voters in the Atlee polling precinct, the expected large voter turnout on election day and school being in session on June 12, the voting area for the pri-

mary has been moved to the back of the school adjacent to the parking lot used by school senior class members.

The voting area will not be in the previous location in the front foyer of the school.

On June 12, large signs will be located along the service road winding behind the school complex to lead voters to the new voting area.

A white-gloved volunteer turns one page of a special memory book in the hospital chapel and names are remembered for that particular date.

The ceremony and the wall are holdovers from the hospital’s origins at another Richmond location.

Celebrating 20 years at its current location, MRMC has its roots deeply implanted in Richmond history with its association with the former Richmond Memorial Hospital.

ing World War II. Pastor Theodore Adams of First Baptist Church, Richmond Times Dispatch publisher D. Tennant Bryan and real estate developer Morton Thalhimer raised $6 million to make Richmond Memorial Hospital a reality, and the state-of-the-art facility opened its doors in 1957 on Westwood Avenue in Richmond’s Northside.

The hospital merged with Bon Secours and eventually closed, opening the door for a new facility in the Northeast corridor, and MRMC made its Hanover debut in 1998.

The original Westwood location housed those memorialized names in a dramatic five-story display. When MRMC opened, the names were place on five separate slabs located near the chapel.

20 years later, MRMC still serving and remembering

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE -- Since opening its doors in Hanover County 20 years ago, Memorial Regional Medical Center has become an integral part of the local healthcare community and a center for a variety of health services.

Last week, the hospital celebrated its 20th anniversary and officials, staff and volunteers gathered for a special Memorial Day prayer service in the courtyard. The area is bordered by walls that contain the names of 984 area service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

MRMC CEO Mark Gordon led a group of volunteers, staff and clergy in a solemn ceremony recognizing the names inscribed on the walls.

After acknowledging the sacrifice of the Richmond natives whose names appear on the wall and their fellow servicemen and women who served or continue to serve, Gordon recognized the people who continue to serve the MRMC community.

“At the same time today, in a few minutes, we will launch a year of celebration and gratitude for the 20 years of ministry at MRMC,” Gordon said.

“So we also remember all those who have served and still serve, in this place, to this community, over these years, which we have been able to provide to those in need in our local community … So let us join in asking for God’s blessing for 20 more years of service and beyond,” Gordon concluded.

On the job for two and half years, Gordon is well aware of the important role MRMC plays in the county and metro areas, and the special relationship the hospital enjoys with the people it serves.

This is a uniquely special place,” Gordon said. “The community is 100 percent behind us. This is the community’s hospital, the community’s healthcare provider.”

Gordon described the people who visit the hospital, the staff and the people who support the hospital as neighbors.

“That’s the way it should be,” the veteran administrator said.

“It’s been an honor for me to be

here and serve and be part of the Mechanicsville community.”

The 15-year Bon Secours veteran also acknowledged an important part of the hospital’s mix of providers, the 375 volunteers who provide a myriad of services for patients and their families.

But, it’s their connection to the people they serve and the comfort they provide that is immediately evident when talking with any of them, most of them boasting many years of service at MRMC. “They take care of their neighbors, people they know,” Gordon said. He said it’s easy to underestimate the significance of a hospital visit for hospital personnel, but a visit to a medical center means “something uniquely special is happening.

Our volunteers understand that and recognize that anxiety and help calm patients.”

Gordon said he appreciates another aspect of those volunteers, many of them senior citizens who retired from careers, raised families, and now want to give back.

“They give us that important life experience and we

Mark Gordon, above, CEO of Memorial Regional Medical Center, addressed the crowd last Wednesday as the 20th anniversary launched. At right, longtime volunteers Carter and Arlene Berry are shown with the wreath placed at the wall inscribed with the names of those who paid the ultimate price for their country, as well as those who have served and are serving.

really appreciate that,” Gordon said.

Two of those volunteers have been there for the bulk of the hospital’s tenure in Hanover, but have been together far longer.

Arlene and Carter Berry “It’s a way of giving back,” Arlene said. “Everyone here is so gracious and you meet people who you’re helping, but it really helps you more than

you are helping them. I feel like we are being blessed.”

Carter agreed. “Arlene and I wanted to give back once we retired. It’s been so rewarding being able to help people and we get so much more out of it, knowing we are successful in making their visit here more comfortable, making sure they leave with a happy face.”

Carter said he performs any task needed, including taking patients for blood work and x-rays, while Arlene works in labor and delivery.

Mary Kellison is another veteran with 22 years of volunteer service under her belt, and said she never tires of coming to work at MRMC. “I love dealing with patients and making them feel welcome,” Kellison said. “It’s such a joy to work with such a

good group of volunteers and patients.

Volunteer services director Michelle Shepherd said the volunteers are an integral part of the MRMC experience. “They love our patients.

It’s one more touch point for our patients,” she said. “The volunteers are vital to the daily work we do here. It provides a real personal touch.”

The 375 volunteers also provide a sense of familiarity that makes patients feel at ease, among friends. “They know many of the patients who come here,” Shepherd said.

lower tax bill than any other county in Northern Virginia.”

He also said that small business is a priority for him.

Freitas said he is “a battletested, battle-ready constitutional conservative.” He said he has been involved in the grassroots Republican movement since he was 15. He is serving his second term in the Virginia House of Delegates, representing the 30th District.

After Sept. 11, 2001, Freitas served two combat tours as a Green Beret in the Middle East. He then became director of operations for a service-disabled, veteran-owned defense contractor.

Freitas said he defends the Right-to-Life Movement, and has sworn to uphold and protect the Constitution. “I am first and foremost a Christian.

My dedication to the belief that we all have inherent value and are entitled to liberty and equality before the law is rooted in this worldview,” Freitas said. “Individual liberty, personal responsibility, respect for God and limited, constitutional government are not merely convenient political concepts, but essentials which are fundamental to our liberty, prosperity and security.”

Jackson said he is “a true believer:” in God, the vision and ideal that birthed America, and the Commonwealth of Virginia, the spiritual and intellectual well from which the Declaration and Constitution were drawn.

A former foster child, Jackson considers himself a symbol of “the hope ignited by freedom and the right to pursue happiness and the fulfillment of our God-given potential.”

Jackson said he is “far from being a politician,” but he has a passion for people and making sure every citizen has the

opportunity to experience the best the country has to offer.

He is Vietnam era veteran, having joined the U.S. Marines in 1970.

Williams said she is “a public servant who solves problems for our federal government.” She has 30 years of experience, and said she “is not a career politician who will put corporate interests above people.”

She is the wife of a small business owner and “knows that hardworking families in the 1st District deserve a chance to succeed.”

Williams list her issues of concern as: healthcare, invest

initiative, education, environment, gun reform, reforming the VA, military families, women’s rights, immigration, human rights, broadband, and net neutrality.

Suddarth is an Army veteran, businessman and active community leader. A native of Prince William County, he is a longtime resident of Hanover County. He is a graduate of West Point, and served as an artillery officer in Germany, rising to the rank of captain.

“I am called to serve now because I’m deeply concerned about the direction our country is taking under Trump’s divisive right wing agenda,” Suddarth said. “So many politicians seem hell-bent on reversing all the progressive accomplishments of the last 100 years.”

Suddarth said he “will be a strong voice for: universal healthcare, an excellent education system for every child

in every zip code, action on climate change, reduction of gun violence, a rational foreign policy, major investment in infrastructure and campaign finance reform so that government will hear first and foremost the voices of average Americans rather than the biggest donors. America can be a far better place to live, work, raise a family and to enjoy a healthy and prosperous retirement, but only if we embrace a progressive agenda, address our many problems and issues, and learn again to work together for the common good.”

Santana said he is a Puerto Rican, father, husband, son, engineer, USMC officer and logistics consultant “with a commitment to service and to the progressive ideals needed to secure a better future for all Virginians.” In seeking the 1st District seat, he said he is “continuing his public service by fighting for a single-payer healthcare system, strengthening of our public school system, fighting for common sense gun reform, securing economic opportunities and broadband internet access for all Americans, protecting the local environment, and bringing an end to our culture of sexual violence.”

“If there’s anything we’ve seen and learned in the age of Donald Trump, it’s that unapologetic progressives can win anywhere, with a peoplepowered, back-to-basics strategy of going out where people live, talking to them, listening to them, being unapologetic about the progressive values we hold and fight for, and then organizing street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood and precinct by precinct,” Santana said.

He said he lives his life by the motto at USMC Officer Candidates School, “Ductus Exemplo” or “lead by example”.

We need a Representative who will show up and be held accountable, one who will meet constituents where they are and not hide when times are tough. It’s time to elect a congressman who will represent the interests of this district’s working families and not multinational corporations and special interests.”

Wittman was first elected to the House in December

2007 and re-elected to his fifth full term in November 2016.

He has served on Montross Town Council, including mayor, Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors, including chairman. In Congress, he serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the Committee on Natural Resources.

He said he has “earned a reputation for being an advocate for our men and women in uniform and for being a champion of the Chesapeake

Bay.” His lists defense, veterans, and reforming Congress as his top priorities. Also included among issues of interest are: federal employees, budget, immigration, health care, transportation, family values, taxes and economy, environment, energy, and education.

“Delta Pure Filtration’s decision to remain and grow in Virginia is a strong testament to Hanover County and the Commonwealth’s quality workforce and competitive business climate,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Brian Ball. “In addition, Delta Pure’s strategic location off Interstate 95 and just minutes from Interstate 64 has provided the company easy accessibility to markets—another reason Virginia continues to attract and retain manufacturers of all sizes.”

“About a third of our business is export, so being close to The Port of Virginia is a plus. Taxes are lower, and there are many potential employees within a few miles of our plant. Hanover County Economic Development and the Virginia Economic Development Partnership have been very supportive of Delta Pure and our continued growth.”

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) will support Delta Pure Filtration’s job creation through its Virginia Jobs Investment Program (VJIP).

VJIP is state-funded, demonstrating Virginia’s commitment to enhancing job opportunities for its citizens.

“One major indicator of the economic success of any locality is the strength of their existing industries,” said E. Linwood Thomas IV, director of Hanover County Economic Development. “Many times we get credit for the large announcement, or relocation projects from another state or community, but the majority of growth comes from our current businesses like Delta Pure which have been here for years.

“Delta Pure’s decision is a strong vote of confidence in Virginia and in Hanover County,” said Sen. Ryan T. McDougle. “An outstanding corporate citizen that is already providing jobs and contributing to our economy, Delta Pure’s decision to expand its operations here is great news for Virginia and our region.”

“Hanover County is incredibly appreciative of the contributions Delta Pure Filtration has made to Hanover County over the past 35 years,” said Del. Hyland F. “Buddy” Fowler Jr. “They have been and will continue to be a great employer of our citizens, and their upcoming expansion is both proof of their continued success and a humbling reminder of the trust they have in our community.”

Hanover girls almost finish fourth in state One event left in rain-plagued Group 4 championships; Atlee boys 2nd in Group 5 meet “The girls were just really good,” Firth said. “Every kid that competed today scored, which is pretty amazing. … I couldn’t ask for anything more for the kids.”

Hanover’s boys were led over the weekend by their 1,600 relay team of Isaiah Williams, Matt Cole Myers, Khaliq McQueen and Khalil Reid, which finished second. Joel Bowers finished fourth in the 400 and Myers finished seventh in the 800.

Patrick Henry athletes also scored in the state meet. The Patriot girls 3,200 relay team of Alycia Richardson, Hailey Draper, Caroline Joyce and Emmy Joyce finished sixth.

Cedrick Carter led the Patrick Henry boys with an eighth in the shot put.

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor HARRISONBURG – The weather made a mess of things at the Class 3/4 combined track and field championships at Harrisonburg High School last weekend.

Heavy rains and local flooding forced the postponement of most events until Sunday.

Even then the championships are not completely finished: the pole vault competition was postponed until Tuesday after this edition went to press.

Despite that, the two Hanover County teams in the Class 4 competition had a good weekend, with Hanover’s girls in fourth place after Sunday and it’s boys in 13th place – with a chance to rise into the top 10 once the pole vault competition finished.

“It was a mess,” said Hanover head track and field coach Rich Firth. “I have never seen rain, thunder, lightning [like that.]

The first two days were nonstop torrent. I don’t mean drizzle – pouring rain, torrential downpours, local flooding.

There was nothing you could do about it. It was just horrendous weather.”

Sunday was an improvement over the two days originally scheduled for the meet.

Mary Ann Magnant for The Local

Atlee’s Cason Gardner set a meet record with a 6 foot, 8 inch win in the boys high jump in the Class 5 championships Friday.

Sunday it just drizzled most of the time, allowing events to proceed, though not without significant squeegeeing, especially of the jump runways, pads and pits.

But the athletes rallied. Rachel Crytser brought Hanover its second state cham-

pionship in school history in the 1,600-meter run, which she won in 5:09.62.

“Times went out the window today – windy, cold, rainy – so it was all about place,” Firth said. “She had the lead from the gun. She controlled the race from wire to wire. She

was never challenged.”

Makenzie Joiner finished second in the 400 and third in the 800 – just a second ahead of Crytser, who finished fourth in the event. Kayvon Bagby finished fourth in the 100 hurdles and Deysia Oakcrum sixth in the long jump.

The Hawk girls’ two qualifying relay teams also did well.

The 400 relay team of Mogan Ferguson, Morgan Crocker, Oakcrum and Bagby finished second and the 1,600 relay team of Shelly Underwood, Crytser, Joiner and Ferguson finished eighth.

Class 5 championships NEWPORT NEWS – Atlee’s boys, led by Cason Gardner and William Chapman, finished second in the Class 5 outdoor track and field championships at Todd Stadium Saturday.

Atlee finished behind L.C. Bird – the Region 5B champion – with 53 points to the 94 amassed by the Skyhawks. LeeDavis’ boys finished 13th with 16 points.

Atlee girls outgun Wildcats for lacrosse title

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – Playing just their second match since May 3, the Atlee Raiders were more than ready to finally lay claim to the Region 5B girls lacrosse championship. And, even though the Deep Run Wildcats won the opening draw and raced down for a score in the first minute of the match, Faith Anna and the rest of the Raiders refused to let a little stage fright affect them.

“It was definitely a little nerve wracking at first, I know, I took the first draw and had so many nerves,” Anna noted. “Once we got that out, we picked up our game. I go into the mentality that they’re going to get a goal, they’re a good team and have a strong offense. But we have to get back and score two more when they get one.”

Instead of just two, how about thirteen? That was the Atlee response to Deep Run’s opening tally, including a 7-0 run in just under four minutes of play to send the Raiders to the region championship with a 19-5 triumph on Day Field at Randolph-Macon College Tuesday evening.

Anna, a senior who remembers the disappointment of a year ago when Atlee lost in their first-ever state tournament appearance, led the early charge, scoring four of her five goals in a dizzying stretch that left the Wildcats in shock; the Raiders running around, past and through them to finish the first half with a 13-1 advantage.

The second half was mere formality for a team that remained unbeaten (14-0) and hasn’t given up more than six goals in their last nine matches.

“I was a little nervous about [the match] leading up to it, because we really haven’t been

in a tight game so far this year,” said Atlee head coach Christina Dobson.

Their closest match was their regular season affair at Deep Run on April 23, which the Raiders won 12-6.

“Once they got the first goal, we really, really were pushing the fast break, that’s our strength, let’s stick to what we know. There was fight in them, because this game was so close last year,” Dobson explained.

Atlee made sure there was no late suspense as freshman

The Mechanicsville Local

June 6, 2018

Kate Miller led the Raiders, tying her season and career highs with eight goals. Reaghan Kolb and Kellyn McGlamery each scored twice, while Ashley Karn and Jesse Peffer also had goals. McGlamery added four assists, including two in the seven-goal early first half stretch.

The Raiders next prepare to host a Class 5 state semifinal, where they will either face Deep Run a third time, or Potomac Falls, who are twotime defending Virginia High School League (VHSL) Class 5

(formerly known as Group 5A) champions. Dobson looks to use the experience of last year, and the exuberance of this year, to prepare her girls for battle.

“We’re going to see teams we don’t know much about, so that will be a whole different type of challenge, but I think it makes it exciting,” Dobson opined.

“These girls step up when the pressure’s on. It’s a group that kind of likes that pressure.

They’re having so much fun.”

ASHLAND – Atlee boys lacrosse coach Fielding Crawford describes the play in the faceoff circle as a snowball effect.

“When you’re able to keep winning it, you can really dominate the game,” the Raiders coach said.

In the first quarter of Tuesday night’s Region 5B final against No. 2 Douglas Freeman, his top-seeded Raiders kept on winning it, and kept on scoring. The effort led to a 17-7 victory and the right to be a host in the first round of the state tournament.

Atlee followed a simple blueprint in scoring the game’s first six goals in the first quarter. Senior midfielder Kevin Dunne would win the faceoff, the Raiders would eat away at the Freeman defense with careful passing around the net, score and repeat.

“That’s something that our guys have really bought into. They really understand that with Kevin [Dunne] at the ‘X’ we have the ability to have huge chunk possessions,” see ATLEE, pg. 29

Lee-Davis upsets Royals for 5B softball title Confederates oust Atlee in semifinals

By McKenzie Terrell and Jonathan Howard Richmond Times-Dispatch RICHMOND – Lee-Davis ended Prince George’s reign Friday night with a 2-1 victory in the Class 5, Region championship at Mills Godwin High School.

Jesse Gentry and Sydney Guess scored the Confederates’ two runs, both off solo home runs. Gentry knocked one out of the park in her first at-bat of the evening in the second inning, and Guess followed suit in the fourth.

Left-handed pitcher Savanah Henley threw the whole game for the Confederates (19-2), finishing with seven strikeouts.

Henley and the other Confederates began to struggle in the second part of the game, but managed to hold the lead.

Coach Jackie Davis said her team handled its errors well, remaining determined.

“They fought through, and never hung their heads when they made mistakes,” Davis said. “Savanah came through for us on the mound, and they didn’t let those mistakes hurt us.

But that’s what good teams do.

Good teams can play through bad innings, and still find their way through.”

Laura Thompson, Prince George’s star pitcher, also performed well in the circle, recording 12 strikeouts. Davis said her team practiced hitting low, outside pitches, but still struggled to get hits off Thompson.

“She still got us with some

tonight, but luckily, Sydney and Jesse were able to hit one out,” Davis said.

The Confederates had also focused on defensive work in

practice, which they demonstrated by chasing down any hit the Royals (21-1) managed, often making the out.

“They believe in each other

and trust each other. They know if you make a mistake, it’s OK, because someone will be there to back you up,” Davis said.

Lee-Davis hammers Atlee RICHMOND – Softball games between Hanover County schools typically have been close contests this season.

Wednesday night’s Region 5B semifinal matchup between county rivals Lee-Davis (seeded No. 2) and Atlee (seeded No. 3) was far from typical.

Lee-Davis banged out 11 hits and Atlee committed five errors as the Confederates ran away with an 11-2 victory and a berth in the state tournament for the third consecutive year.

The Raiders, who have made a habit of appearing in the tournament, will stay home.

The Confederates got the night started in the bottom of the first with a Sydney Guess RBI double. Atlee tied it up in the second thanks to a sacrifice from left fielder Sydney Kuester.

From there, however, Lee-Davis starter Savanah Henley kept the Raiders off the base paths and got plenty of run support.

Lee-Davis scored two runs in the second and third innings.

Third baseman Hayli Wagner drove in two runs in the second with a double, and the Confederates crossed the plate unearned in the third, because of two Atlee errors. Four of the Raiders’ five errors led to LeeDavis runs.

Meanwhile, Henley kept the rival Atlee batters at bay. She faced only one batter over the minimum between the third and sixth innings until she surrendered a home run in the seventh inning to April Hooper.

While Lee-Davis had a comfortable lead through three innings (5-1), it would further open break the game in the sixth inning — sending 10 batters to the plate, scoring six runs on four hits, including a tworun homer by catcher Logan Hawker. McKenna Mehlbrech drove in two runs with a single, and Lauren Taylor also had an RBI in the inning. The final run for Lee-Davis was scored on Atlee’s fifth error.

Hanover can’t hold line, falls in 4B semifinal

By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch RICHMOND – The Hanover baseball team was one out from playing in the state tournament. Strikeout Powhatan batter Hunter Hopkins in the bottom of the seventh inning, and Hanover wins the game. Instead, it all fell apart.

The Hawks were clinging to a one-run lead in the bottom of the seventh inning, and the bases were loaded. A fastball came off the right hand of Hanover relief pitcher Nick Zona, and Hopkins laced it over the third baseman’s head.

Jacob Beil scored, then Tanner Ritt followed. Powhatan had won 6-5 on a walk off, and the Indians – not Hanover – claimed victory in the Region 4B semifinals Tuesday. With the win, the Indians claimed a berth in the state tournament, which began Tuesday.

Hanover led 5-2 after six innings. The Hawks had taken advantage of shaky Powhatan pitching early in the game, and Hanover starter Jack Dragum had avoided trouble throughout the game. He gave up 11

In the seventh, he couldn’t keep Powhatan at bay anymore.

Matthew Church led off with a double, then Dragum was

pulled when he reached his pitch limit.

An error, two walks and a double loaded the bases, cutting Hanover’s lead to 5-4. Zona struck out Tymmie Hart for the

second out. But Zona couldn’t get one more to end the game.

Hopkins hit his two-run single, and the game was over.

It was Hanover’s fourth loss of the season by two runs or

less. Hanover had reached the state tournament five years in a row.

The season started surprisingly slow. The Hawks were 0-4 after playing Mills Godwin,

POWHATAN – It was not ideal playing conditions at Powhatan High School on May 29 for the Region 4B semifinal.

But, despite rain throughout most of the game between Hanover and Powhatan, the game played on.

And, the Indians softball team wasted no time putting runs on the board.

Led by a three-run home run by Tori Gilbert in the first

inning, Powhatan rolled to a 9-2 win over the Hawks in the region semifinal, ending Hanover’s season.

“We just didn’t show up,” said Hawks head coach Rebecca Parramore. “There are reasons why teams who are continuously good show up, regardless of their talent that year. We had a lot of talent, but we’re just young. We just didn’t show up and we picked the wrong game to not show up.”

Hanover had one batter reach base in the top of the first

inning but was unable to do anything with that opportunity.

Powhatan’s Mason Basdikis opened the bottom of the first with a single, followed by Sami Pleasants reaching on an error.

Basdikis had advanced to third on the single by Pleasants and Pleasants advanced to second with a stolen base.

Then, Gilbert took an offering from Hanover pitcher Leslie Currie over the wall in center field to make it 3-0 Indians. see HAWKS, pg. 30

James River and two out-ofstate teams. Camden Grimes and Will Lopez played through back pain. Dragum dealt with a sore hamstring.

The level of urgency wasn’t what it should be, coach Charlie Dragum said.

“We want to try to win every game and play at the state level,” the coach said. “We just never got in a groove.”

Thanks to rain, the Hawks played just four games in the month of April. Practicing all the time and never playing becomes a grind, the coach said.

But Hanover jelled and won 10 of its next 11. The seniors began displaying the leadership they needed to show, Charlie Dragum said. The postseason felt right, like the team had the potential to do something big.

“It was a totally different feel in the postseason than it was in the regular season,” Dragum said. “If we had kept it going, I thought we had chance to do something special in the state tournament.”

Dragum never set any goals for how many games the team needed to win or how far it needed to go in the postseason.

His goals are more about the progress the team makes. But he knows that in the minds of his players, if they don’t win the state championship, they might consider the season a failure.

Those are unreasonable expectations for any team.

Grimes and Dragum were four-year starters for the Hawks. Dragum (University of Virginia) finished 2 for 2, and threw 6-1/3 innings, allowing three runs (two earned) and 11 hits, striking out five.

Grimes (Virginia Tech) went 0 for 2 with a walk and an RBI. Will Lopez was walked twice and scored two runs.

Hanover boys, girls advance to state semis

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – After having to deal with the sudden loss of his No. 1 singles player heading into the Region 4B boys tennis championship Wednesday at Burkwood Swim and Racquet Club, Hanover head coach Bill Wheaton readjusted his lineups, and gave his Hawks a message of confidence as they prepared to face longtime rival Midlothian.

Former members of Conference 20, the Hawks and Trojans have done battle many times this decade, but, strangely, not this season until the title tilt.

Wheaton and his players took advantage of what they knew about returning players, and gave it their best. Ross Violi, stepping up to Turner Cole’s top position, earned an early 6-4, 6-1 win over Venkat Cheekati, but after that, Midlothian found its groove, winning the next four singles and only doubles match to complete a 5-1 win for the region title.

The loss sent Hanover on the road in the Class 4 state

Joel Klein for tThe Local

Hanover’s Ross Violi returns a shot in a Region 4B championship match against Midlothian Wednesday. The Trojans won.5-1

quarterfinals on Friday to face another familiar foe this time of year, the Eagles of Jamestown.

The good news for the Hawks

was the return of Cole, the Region 4B singles champion – who had hurt his foot the day before the Midlothian match –

at least for doubles action. Cole with a 5-2 win over the Eagles.

“His presence was immense and Violi teamed up for the clinching victory as Hanover in the final outcome,” Wheaton advanced to state semifinal play said of Cole’s performance in

into the halftime break.

The Rebels looked to take some momentum back as the third quarter began, getting quick goals from Kevin Kiester and another from Smith to cut into the Atlee lead. The five-goal deficit was as close as the Rebels got thereafter as the Raiders answered with goals from Dunne and Walker Everhart to regain lost footing.

“The key in lacrosse is definitely keep your head up no matter what,” Dunne said. “In lacrosse, anything can change and anyone can score in three seconds.”

Drew Miller led all scorers with four goals for Atlee.

Atlee defender Walker Everhart leaps and passes the ball at Randolph-Macon during the Raiders’ 17-7 win in the Region 5B boys lacrosse championship on May 30.

Crawford said. “They’ve been really patient with getting the right look and making the great decision instead of the good decision.”

Freeman lit up the scoreboard at the end of the first quarter by taking advantage of an Atlee penalty that left the Raiders a man down. Brandon Smith found the back of the net with 8 seconds left in the quarter, but the momentum would not last. Atlee would score the first three goals of the second quarter and took an 11-3 lead

Goalkeeper Jackson Baitinger recorded seven saves. For Freeman, keeper Easton Chucker made 20 stops while Pierce Martin added two goals to the offensive effort.

doubles play. “I think having him out there for No. 1 doubles sets the tone for our team and how we hope to play. It was last minute in the sense that we knew he wouldn’t play singles, but we were hoping that he would be able to play doubles.”

Before the doubles match became the clincher, other Hawks played pivotal roles in the state quarterfinal win. No. 4 Andy Loce won a very tight singles match 7-6 (7-0), 7-6 to, at that point, tie the quarterfinal at 2-2.

Action had been moved indoors to the McCormackNagelsen Tennis Center at the College of William and Mary due to the heat, but that change didn’t phase either No. 5 Vance Woolard or No. 6 Charles Adams. Woolard pulled out a tense second-set tiebreaker for a 6-0, 7-6 (7-4) win that gave the Hawks the lead for good.

Adams followed with a 6-2, 7-5 triumph.

With the lead now at 4-2, it was time for the return of Cole, who joined Violi for a 6-2, 6-4 doubles win to keep Hanover’s season alive, setting up a quick rematch with Midlothian, who eliminated Grafton.

“I think the biggest difference with having Turner back and playing Midlothian so quickly again is that the players will not have a bit more confidence in their respective lines,” explained Wheaton.

“Obviously, having a leader like Turner back in the playoffs is inspiring and motivating for our entire lineup.”

While the Hawks push for a shot at a state team title, Cole and Violi also look ahead to state singles and doubles tournament action later this week.

In doubles, they will face Albon Yowell and Jordan DeBerry

Hanover girls soccer advances to state tournament

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – For 67 minutes, neither Hanover nor visiting Chancellor could find an open path to the opposing team’s net in their Region 4B girls lacrosse semifinal Tuesday night.

That changed in the 68th minute, with Hanover forward Lauren Didlake dumped the ball to midfielder Maggie Sobel on the right side of the pitch.

Didlake, a senior, added another goal four minutes later, and the Hawks’ defense took over to keep Chancellor from mounting a counterattack as time ran out to finish Hanover’s 2-0 win and earn the Hawks their first trip to the Virginia High School League state tournament.

“It feels incredible,” Didlake said. “Last year we were so close, by one goal, so it feels amazing to finally get that bid to states.”

Sobel wasn’t sure where the ball was going when she got her goal.

“I guess, when I kicked it … I didn’t really know where it was going,” she said. “I guess it just kind of worked out for me.

Once it hit the back of the net, that’s when I knew it went in.”

The goal lightened the Hawks’ mood. They had plenty

of opportunities, but the ball would hit a bar and bounce away, get blocked by a Powhatan defender, or end up on top of rather than in the net.

“We had so many opportunities and we could not put [the ball] in the back of the net,” Sobel said. “I was so happy I could not stop smiling.”

Didlake said her goal

allowed Hanover to shift gears.

“Once we got that second goal, we tried to lay back and play more defensive so we could hold them back,” Didlake said.

“If you’re already up two goals, you should play it, play it the field, waste some time on the clock – and that’s what we did.”

First-year Hanover head coach Manny Tavares was

grateful for the talent he has to work with.

“I feel like a jockey on a horse,” Tavares said. “I have a team that is incredible.

Everyone on this team is just amazing. I’m just holding on to the reins for dear life.”

Pleasants would score on a wild pitch to make it 8-0.

Gilbert worked a walk and would score the ninth run of the game on a wild pitch.

Hanover scored its only two runs in the top of the third inning.

After Currie and Lauren Hughes reached on a fielder’s choice and error, respectively, Julia Mardigian knocked both runners in with a single to make it 9-2.

For the remainder of the game, though, Basdikis allowed just two runners on base over the final four innings and struck out four batters in that span.

The first of those was in the top of the fourth inning

when Bella Pastore reached on an error, but she was thrown out as part of a 6-4-3 double play.

In the seventh, Pastore led the inning off with a double and advanced to second on a wild pitch.

However, she was stranded there after two strikeouts and a groundout to the pitcher ended the game.

While the weather certainly was a factor at times, Parramore said that both teams equally had to deal with the conditions.

“We both have to play in it,” she said. “We both have to adjust to it. They made the adjustment a little better than we did.”

Parramore said that, overall,

the season was a good one for the Hawks.

“We had a great season,” she said. “We had great leadership from the upper and lower class.

They really fell in line and knew their jobs and performed. I hate how this is how it ends. This is not indicative of our season as a whole.”

Parramore said that she will not be returning to coach the Hawks next season, but she believes that the team has the talent for continued success in the seasons ahead.

by American Legion Post 175 and Post 175 Auxiliary.

Principal funding is being provided by the Rotary Club of Mechanicsville, Lions Club of Mechanicsville and American Legions Post 206 of Ashland and Post 90 of Beaverdam. The group received an orientation Sunday, May 20, enthusiastically conducted by Noah Campbell and Madison Lee, both of whom attended these events last year. The boys will be at Radford University and the girls at Longwood University. Shown are, from left, front row, Kip Vehorn, Justin Davis, Jack Gable, Kristin Williams, Chloe Shermer and Emily Callahan, and, back row, Ben Dibble, Cameron Boxley, Libby Klinger, Kaitlin McLendon, Anna Holzem, Grace Phillips and Georgia Temple. Tyler Palicia and Madison Gardiner also will be attending. The rising high school seniors said they are excited about their upcoming experience.

bring picnic blankets and food. Chairs will be available as well.

Hanover County writer and historian Walter Hempfling opens the series on June 7 with “Edmund Ruffin: His Agricultural Genius”.

Ruffin is remembered mostly as a defiant advocate for the secession of South Carolina and other states in 1860 and 1861, and also for his dramatic suicide as the Confederate States of America collapsed in April 1865.

But in the decades before the Civil War, Ruffin gained fame was the “father of soil science” in this country. He was widely respected for developing methods to preserve and improve soil productivity. He recommended crop rotation and soil additions to restore land exhausted from tobacco monoculture, and studied bogs and swamps to learn how to correct soil acidity.

Hempling has studied and spoken about Ruffin for years,

and brings to life this fascinating figure from history.

Next, historian Jon Kukla returns to speak about new insights he gained while researching and writing his recently-published major biography, “Patrick Henry: Champion of Liberty”.

Kukla has written extensively about Henry and other Revolutionary leaders, but said his work on this biography opened new avenues of inquiry that should keep historians busy for years.

Among other posts, Kukla served for many years as director of the Red Hill Patrick Henry National Memorial.

Finally, Anne Geddy Cross relates the early history of one of Hanover’s and Virginia’s most historic churches in her talk “St. Paul’s Parish, Hanover County and the Dissenters”.

St. Paul’s (which was led for a time by Patrick Henry’s uncle, the Rev. Patrick Henry) played in crucial role in the early development of the county, performing many functions we now associate with civil government. It also was in the thick of

the fight for religious toleration sought by the “Dissenters” — those who sought their own way of worship outside the Church of England.

Cross, a past Board

President of Preservation Virginia and noted local historian, brings to bear years of research on St. Paul’s.
