HCSB reviews attendance zones

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

ASHLAND -- Hanover County School Board members are considering a change in school attendance zones for residents of a new subdivision proposed near the intersection of New Ashcake Road and U.S. 301.

Students who reside in the area of the proposed Caldwell Park subdivision attend Pearson’s Corner Elementary School, Chickahominy Middle School and Atlee High School.

Projected attendance num-

bers figured over a five-year period indicate the increased number of Caldwell Park students would place all three of those schools at over-capacity enrollment levels.

Based on five-year projections after build-out of the proposed development, enrollment would increase by 143 students at Pearson’s Corner and over 70 at both Chickahominy and Atlee.

When those same numbers are run with an attendance zone change, none of the increases would result

in over-capacity scenarios.

Students from Caldwell Park would attend Rural Point Elementary School, Oak Knoll Middle School and Hanover High School if the adjustment was approved.

“We took the same buildout number and compared to those schools. At the end of five years, none of those schools would be over 100 percent capacity,” Terry Stone, assistant superintendent for finance, said.

A similar approval was issued regarding students from

Garrison Manor in 2015.

The school board adopted a policy change in 2015 that allows board members to consider changing attendance zones for new developments that pose capacity problems for existing placements at Atlee High School and its feeder schools.

Stone presented the enrollment numbers for board information and discussion at the June 12 meeting, but it is unclear when the item would be placed on the panel’s action see HCSB, pg. 4

Caldwell Park was originally proposed as a 532-unit development with 115 designated as single-family. While the single-family portion of the project has been approved, the remaining units have not.

“There is no specific timeline for any of these units at this point,” Stone told the board.

Earlier in the meeting, a parent of two Patrick Henry High School students, one of whom attended the class of a

teacher recently dismissed for inappropriate behavior with students, addressed the board and voiced serious concerns regarding the school’s current management.

Stigma of mental illness must be erased

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor The recent suicide deaths of celebrity personalities Kate Space and Anthony Bourdain have placed a spotlight on a topic that, sadly, is far too often hidden away or discussed in hushed tones.

Mental illness is just that: an illness. A conversation last week with a physician turned to the deaths of Spade and Bourdain and the growing number of people taking their own lives in this country.

A tragic part of dealing with mental illness is the stigma still attached after years of open dialogue to the situation.

We’ve all heard the stories about hiding away loved ones who suffered from varying conditions of mental illness.

It’s heartbreaking to think about someone

being locked in an attic or basement to avoid the public knowing about an all too real illness.

Whether it’s depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsion disorder (OCD) or schizophrenia, among others, it is an illness -- no different than high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes.

There appears to be a generational stigma about openly discussing or confronting mental illness. For those who still consider it a taboo topic, shame on you.

How do those who need treatment feel comfortable to seek help if they’re being subjected to less than kind reactions?

Until you walk in someone’s shoes who is dealing with any of the issues listed, keep your judgmental opinions to yourself.

If you know someone who is battling any form of mental illness, please offer support and compas-

sion. Yes, some of these illnesses may be lifelong while others may be treated through counseling or medication.

My father died suddenly in July 1992 and sent my world reeling. I didn’t seek medical attention in facing the loss, because a co-worker’s father also passed away unexpectedly just weeks before mine.

We formed a bond and spent a lot of time together talking and socializing with friends. That friendship, which remains intact, helped both of us through a traumatic time.

I can’t imagine the grief the Spade and Bourdain families are experiencing. Both left young children.

My prayer is for a more sensitive society because we never know what someone is going through in life.

We aren’t the judges; we should be the support.

IHOP changes name to IHOb for its burgers

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist It’s a marketing tsunami that will surely be remembered as the greatest public relations gamble since Coca Cola pulled its favorite blend off the shelves three decades ago.

Last week, International House of Pancakes, better known to all of us as IHOP, abandoned that recognizable

trademark after 60 years and rename the eatery IHOb. Recognizing the reality that a little suspense might add just the right amount of drama to the unveiling of its new name, restaurant officials announced the new name on Tuesday, June 12.

When that tidbit of information was released, it sent the social media world into a frenzy trying to decipher

Investigative reporter types immediately began contacting sources to gain some insight and reveal what the inverted “P” could be hiding.

Twitter devotees expressed immediate displeasure with the name change, with one stating he would now only visit the Domestic House of Pancakes.

And then there were the barrage

of suggestions on what the “b” might denote. Everything from breakfast and bacon, to biscuits and bologna was offered, but burgers emerged as the ultimate winner.

As the week progressed, the fog surrounding the name change began to lift. The first hints came in the company’s announcement claiming see BURGERS, pg. 7

Service to nation ensured right to kneel, not salute If you’ve been watching der Drumpfenführer’s flagrant weaponization of the Star Spangled Banner for the past several months ... let’s take this to the next level, shall we now?

Here’s the second sentence/third stanza of the Star Spangled Banner: “No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

This was a warning to all slaves (who had been promised freedom by the Royal British Navy/Court) during the War of 1812.

A black guy gets shot eight times as he runs from a cop (traffic stop). A black 12-yearold gets shots within seconds of the police stopping at a park play ground.

Without going into numerous other examples of racism, I’ll just remind Mechanicsville Local readers that Colin Kaepernick knelt to protest this treatment.

“IHOP is changing its name to IHOB and while people think it stands for “breakfast” I’m putting my money on BETRAYAL”, one disgruntled fan wrote.

During the Coca Cola dilemma, it looked like one of the biggest mistakes in marketing history when the soft drink giant introduced a new flavored cola that left devoted fans at almost riot level.

For weeks, devotees searched for the last remaining old recipe Cokes, saving them for special occasions as sales for the new product plummeted.

After nearly two months of public outcry, the company relented and brought the old formula back to enormous demand.

So, what does the New Coke episode have to do with IHOP changing its name?

Maybe, nothing, or more probably, everything.

What seemed like a Titanic disaster at the time didn’t end badly for Coca Cola. Their sales increased following the

debacle of the reemergence of what was not called Coca Cola Classic, and the Atlanta-based company eventually became the world’s leading soft drink manufacturer.

of your public education that has led you to this important moment.

Thirteen years. That is a significant portion of your life spent in pursuit of one goal — a goal that you will reach very shortly. I wonder, though, if you’ve ever stopped and thought, “What now?” No, I don’t mean the more obvious responses, such as college, military, career, or even beach week. I mean the question in a much larger sense, as in: “What does it all mean?”

Robert Fulghum wrote a book of short essays entitled, All I Really Need to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten. From the title, you might surmise that he is suggesting you have wasted the last 12 years of your life, and we could have held a similar ceremony when you were only 5 or 6 years old.

Although his message transcends this notion, Fulghum does, in fact, make a compelling case. For instance, in one essay, he lists a variety of essential life skills that we learn. The first 10 go like this: 1. Share everything.

2. Play fair.

3. Don’t hit people.

4. Put things back where you found them.

5. Clean up your own mess.

6. Don’t take things that aren’t yours.

7. Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.

8. Wash your hands before you eat.

9. Flush.

10. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

It’s hard to argue with any of this advice. Will it be all that you need in order to be successful for the rest of your life? Probably not. I think that Fulghum’s larger point, though, is that the lessons we

learned in our most formative years are applicable for a lifetime. For many of us, we made some of the best memories of our lives while viewing the world through the lens of a child. In the same book, Fulghum writes, “I want to be 5 years old again for an hour.

I want to laugh a lot and cry a lot. I want to be picked up or rocked to sleep in someone’s arms, and carried up to bed just one more time.”

Award at the inaugural ESPYs. He was also giving the final speech of his life that he knew was quickly coming to an end because of cancer. The message he delivered that evening is among the most memorable of the last quarter century, and among the most impactful, as it launched his V Foundation for Cancer Research. In several ways, it was reminiscent of Robert Fulghum’s desire to embrace the memories and

“So, as you take your next steps, I also challenge you to play fair, say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody, and take the time to enjoy some warm cookies and cold milk.”

DR. MICHAEL GILL Superintendent, Hanover County Public Schools

Obviously, for him, those days were perhaps among his very best. I, too, believe that we should strive to extend the innocence of childhood as long as possible, but I also feel that we can make incredible memories at any point during our lives.

When we were children, though, a wide range of emotions seemed more vivid and occurred with more frequency. Perhaps, those who seek to reclaim their childhood, to be the Ponce de Leon in search of the fountain of youth, are really trying to recapture the vibrancy of life that is often experienced at a younger age.

What if we could do just that, though? That is, experience life to its fullest every day.

The following setting is in stark contrast to an author reflecting on his childhood. It was 1993 and Jim Valvano, former basketball coach at North Carolina State University, was accepting the Arthur Ashe Courage and Humanitarian

simple lessons of his youth.

Coach Valvano said, “To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh.

You should laugh every day.

Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day. That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special.”

Facing the end of his life, Valvano was trying to live every day to its fullest. One might say, he appreciated it as a child might. During the same speech, he joked about the fact that he was being given a cue to wrap it up so that the TV network could cut to the scheduled commercial break and get on with the show. He contin-

ued speaking anyway, noting that those types of worries were no longer concerns for him. It put things in perspective for all of those privileged enough to hear him, whether in person or on television, and, frankly, no one wanted him to stop.

Robert Fulghum was on to something in his book.

Kindergarten was a simpler time, with fewer cares and new experiences every day. However, as important as that first year was, we do not learn everything we need to know in kindergarten. So, what does it all mean?

It means that the 12 years that followed your initial year of schooling has molded you into the person you are today. The lessons you have learned, the knowledge you have gained, and the experiences you have had can help you to approach life in a more meaningful way than when you were younger … if you will allow it to happen.

Now, as you prepare for the next chapter in your lives and begin to take on the mounting responsibilities of adulthood, I challenge you to take stock of what might appear important at the time versus those things that actually are important as Coach Valvano demonstrated. Perhaps then, we can slow down enough to laugh, to cry, to think, and to experience many more of those “full days” that he was describing. I also have to believe that some of those things that are truly important are the same timeless truths that Robert Fulghum described. So, as you take your next steps, I also challenge you to play fair, say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody, and take the time to enjoy some warm cookies and cold milk.

Congratulations, Class of 2018. May each of you enjoy many more full days, and may you impact others so that they may do the same.

The Scotchtown Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) presented its annual Youth Citizenship Awards to Hanover County students on Sunday, June 3, at Fairfield Presbyterian Church. This award is presented to girls or boys in fifth, eighth and 12th grades (public, private or parochial), who fulfill the qualities of honor, service, courage, leadership and patriotism. High school senior DAR Good Citizens also are recognized at their individual schools. Dr. Jamelle S.

GRAL summer swim season gets underway

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – Normally, the thought of a shark attack and a tidal wave coming together would spawn ideas for either a nightmare or maybe a campy late night horror movie. Neither was the case on a pictureperfect Thursday evening at Hanover Golf Club as the host Shark Attack opened the 2018 Greater Richmond Aquatic League swimming season with a 1249-847 victory over the Tidal Waves from Kings Charter.

GRAL regular season events are quintessential summertime evenings in America. Dozens of families bring not only the competitors, but blankets, chairs, and activities for younger siblings. The host club fires up the grill, filling the air with an alluring combination of summertime treats and chlorine.

On this night, a pool constantly filled with Sharks and Tidal Waves swam the evening away, unchained by the freedom of knowing there wouldn’t be a bus waiting to pick them up for school the next morning.

Opening night also brings change, like a 9-year-old boy who swam his 25 yards in the backstroke as he did the year before, only to be told by supporters beside the pool that his race was only half completed, dutifully turning around and

heading back to the starting block in his first 50-yard competition. There are new swimmers of all ages, returning swimmers trying new events.

Bringing symmetry and occasionally some sanity to the affair are the familiar faces of

head and assistant coaches, and an army of volunteers, handling time cards, getting competitors ready for races, and keeping score. And while the home team won this meet, you would never know it looking on the faces of all competitors. At these meets,

it is more about improving one’s own performance, and – while attempting to grab a first place for your team – little scoreboard watching as competitors from both teams talk and enjoy the evening.

When the swimmers get

older, there’s a delicate balance between competing and directing. Just ask Logan Amatruda of Kings Charter. His older brother, Tristan, coaches the Tidal Waves, and Logan, a rising junior at Atlee, is not only competing – one of six quadruple

winners for Kings Charter on Thursday – but lending a hand at directing, too.

“I’m swimming, and I’m also coaching. You’ve got to balance those, help the little ones,

Hanover youth discover the ‘Ultimate’ experience

By Monica Hunsaker For the Mechanicsville Local HANOVER – A strict code of conduct that holds individuals accountable for fairness and fun makes Ultimate Frisbee one of the most dynamic youth team sports and lays the foundations for unprecedented camaraderie.

“The spirit of teamwork characterizes the sport,” Randy Lee of the Richmond Ultimate Youth Organization said. RUYO aims to create opportunities for kids to learn and play Ultimate Frisbee in Richmond and the surrounding areas.

The sport, developed in 1968 by New Jersey high school students, is a high-intensity non-contact sport played with a flying disc – such as a Frisbee – that encourages players to develop throwing skills as well as stamina and agility in addition to its social benefits.

Randy Lee is a passionate advocate of the sport, helping to coach players and organize camps and events in Hanover County and elsewhere in the Richmond metropolitan area.

“Just coming to these events, you really can see the brotherhood behind Ultimate represented between Randy and his guys,” said Sandy Miller, who’s been watching son Sean play at Lee’s events for almost two years now, said.

Those “guys” are those who not only help Lee regularly teach, coach and guide the young players, but also played a role in developing his own passion for Ultimate – one that would persist throughout Lee’s life.

“Randy played with all these guys for years before any of us had kids and now we all have our kids out here playing together,” his wife Michelle said.

One can see that bond is a special dynamic. Their love for being right on the field with the

kids is apparent and they run a well-oiled machine. The kids naturally take to helping one another and no time is wasted on banter, but they immediately delve into play.

The Mechanicsville Local

June 20, 2018

“One of the big pushes of Ultimate is good sportsmanship and it’s rewarded in every game.

I love that the kids are encouraged to call their own fouls,” said Sandy’s husband, Ross Miller.

The intention is for Ultimate Frisbee to be played without referees at the professional level and until that point, the game is played just so.

“Ultimate relies on a game

spirit which places responsibility for fair play on every player,” Lee explained. “Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rues and the basic joy of play,” he added.

This attribute unique to Ultimate Frisbee could one day set standards for competitive conduct. Many sports could benefit from embracing similar codes.

“The guys can usually find a way to come to an agreement themselves when things come up and that’s not easy to do.

Calling your own fouls is toplevel sportsmanship,” said Artan Cami. He’s already seeing the

benefits that participating in Ultimate and learning to work with peers has had on his son Aiden, who began with Lee’s league just this season.

Ultimate Frisbee challenges and helps grow any type of young athlete physically, too.

The fun sport uniquely mixes the need for quickness of both body and mind. Because there aren’t set plays, players must learn to react most effectively, quickly and in a coordinated manner.

The Millers appreciate that Sean, while playing Ultimate, isn’t at risk for many of the injuries common to most sports.

Yet they’ve still witnessed those skills learned in Ultimate exponentially sharpen his play level within the various sports he participates in throughout the year. They’re confident the league and camps will remain a constant for him as he enters Lee-Davis next year.

Coach Lee is determined to introduce Ultimate to more and more Hanover youth and to help create the necessary organizations to keep their learned skills competitive. Having played while at William & Mary from 1991-95 and even leading as his team’s captain during his junior and senior years, Lee remains passionate about creating such opportunities for Hanover kids who might just find their niche in Ultimate.

Last Sunday’s high turnout for D-League is itself a testament to the growth of interest in the sport locally, even in just the last year. Twenty-nine kids showed up to play and looked to be having a blast at Dorey Park.

At the same event last year, they they hosted just 14.

had strategy to help his performance, partly due to a hot rivalry provided by the Shark Attack’s Brendan Cox. “I try to go out and have good under waters, swim as fast as I could,” Amatruda

explained. “It’s definitely nice having someone to race.”

For Hanover Golf Club’s Sydney McAdoo, opening night means a chance to see friends, and improve times. Her firstplace finish in the 11-12 girls 50-yard backstroke in 34.90 included shaving a third of a second off her best time, a positive start to a road which has its

Picks Panthers

destination.

“I try to make it to Champs for every event I swim,” McAdoo noted. “Champs is a big meet that comes together at the end of the year where swimmers from all different kinds of clubs, even if they’re not in your division, come and compete.”

Champs, the two-day GRAL finale, is set for July 28-29 at

the Collegiate School Aquatic Center in Chesterfield.

As for the opener, Amatruda was joined by Tyler Caten, Roger Humberson, Caitlyn Lane, Campbell Whyte and Cole Whyte as quadruple winners for Kings Charter. Triple winners for the Tidal Waves were Maggie Caten, Henry Crain, Lucy Henning, Megan

Nix picks Wasps

Lane, Hudson Lutton, Ethan Salser and Hannah Sherrill.

For the victorious Shark Attack, Cox was a triple winner joined by Cameron Greene, Samantha Cox, Robert Jones, Anne Stewart Mallory, Melanie McAdoo, Will McAdoo, Ava McKinney, Cole Nuckols, Dylan Schloss and Hilton Sanders.

“I’m trying to do my best, try hard, and try to beat my best times,” Sanders said after competing in the 9-10 boys 50-yard backstroke.

His first action after clearing the pool? Finding a coach to see if he had a new personal best. see GRAL, pg. 32

How to read a nursery plant tag

S

hopping for new plants for a home can be an exciting undertaking. Nurseries and garden centers are often home to dozens of types of plant species that come in various colors, leaf variations and sizes. Such variety can make choosing plants more fun while also making the process of buying plants a bit complicated, especially for novices. Thankfully, plant tags can help consumers make informed decisions.

Understanding how to read plant tags is key to making good choices. Such labels contain a lot of information, but once a person knows how to decode that data, he or she is well on the way to choosing the right plants.

Such names will be written in italics on the tag and are usually one or two words. The scientific name includes the genus (group) and the species of the plant.

Cultivar A plant tag may further describe the type of plant by including the cultivar. A cultivar is the variation on the species. It may describe a size or color variation. The cultivar is listed in single quotations by the scientific name.

Sun requirements The tag should list how much sun exposure the plant requires to thrive. It may be anywhere from full sun to full shade.

Common name The common name of the plant tends to be the most noticeable word or words on the tag. This is the name the plant is referred to outside of scientific circles. Most plants have one or more common names in addition to their botanical name.

Height and spread The label frequently includes the maximum growing height and width the plant should reach when mature. This gives gardeners an understanding of just how much room the plant will take up in the garden and how to space plants in a landscape.

Scientific (botanical) name

Water needs

Scientific names are also known as the Latin names of the plant.

How much water the plant requires may be featured on the tag

as well. This helps gardeners know if they need soil to be damp or relatively dry.

Hardiness or zone Tags that list zones will describe the coldest zone in which the plant can exist. Otherwise, it will give a range. Many annuals will not list a hardiness zone because they are not expected to last beyond one season.

Perennial or annual The tag should designate the plant as an annual or perennial.

Annuals are not expected to last through the winter and will need to be replanted the following year.

Perennials can over-winter and will regenerate year after year.

Tags also may list information such as special care needs, drought tolerance, uses for the plant, and when the plant blooms. Some plant labels will inform gardeners if the plants were produced organically or without GMO practices. Trademark information also may be included.

Plant tags provide important information for selecting and growing plants. When noted, tags help gardeners make the right selections and keep plants as healthy as possible.

Did you know?

A

ccording to the Penn State Department of Plant Science, thatch is a loose and intermingled organic layer of both dead and living shoots, stems and roots that develops between the zone of green vegetation and the soil surface. While leaf clippings may be found in a thatch layer, they do not typically contribute to thatch buildup because clippings are easily broken down by microorganisms in the soil. While some homeowners may only know thatch as a threat they must periodically address by aerating their soil, thatch can benefit turf depending on the amount of it that is present. For example, a layer of thatch that is 1 to 2 inch or less can insulate the turf from extreme temperatures and fluctuations in soil moisture. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that homeowners address thatch before it gets too thick, as excess thatch can harbor disease-causing organisms and insects. - Metro Creative Metro Creative Graphics
