Chalkley reviews laws Bourassa retains seat that took effect Sunday By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by R.E. “Trip” Chalkley III, Commonwealth’s Attorney for Hanover County. He submits an overview of new laws taking effect on July 1 every year.) July 1, 2018, will, as always, have new laws or amendments to existing criminal statutes take effect. The following is only a summary of the legislative changes which I feel will be of interest to my fellow citizens. Please be cognizant that this is only a summary of new legislation and does not detail all changes. Should the reader have any questions, please call me at 365-6186. As always, my thanks to Senators (Ryan) McDougle and (Siobhan) Dunnavant and Delegates (Chris) Peace and (Buddy) Fowler for being receptive to my concerns and their efforts in the legislative process. Any private swim club may permit its members to bring lawfully acquired alcoholic beverages onto the premises and to consume The authority for multi-jurisdiction grand juries to investigate fraud crimes has been expanded.

them on the premises. Abandoning an animal will now be punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor (up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine of up to $2,500 either or both). This amendment increases the penalty from a Class 3 misdemeanor ($500 fine). Also, the definition of “abandon” is

changed from 5 days to 4 days of failing to provide basic care. An agency seeking asset forfeiture of money or property, must now inform D.C.J.S.

(Department of Criminal Justice Services) what CHALKLEY offense the requested forfeiture is based upon, whether the owner of the property has been charged and the status of any charge. In essence, asset forfeiture is the procedure whereby an agency seizes property gained by enumerated illegal means. No forfeiture can occur without a legal proceeding. The authority for multi-jurisdiction grand juries to investigate fraud crimes has been expanded. The threshold amount for felony charges in certain larceny cases has been increased from $200 to $500. The $200 threshold had been the standard since 1980. Among the statutes affected are grand larceny, petit larceny, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, certain arson offenses, and credit card fraud. Numerous offenses which punish larceny and fraud offenses are impacted by these amendments. The penalty for female genital mutilation see LAWS, pg. 4

HANOVER -- Any hint of suspense regarding the upcoming Hanover County School Board representative selection from the Mechanicsville District disappeared early in last week’s Hanover County Board of Supervisors meeting. Robert Barnette, one of two nominees, withdrew his name from consideration during a Public Comment period at the beginning of the meeting. The withdrawal left only one name -- incumbent Roger Bourassa -- remaining in the list of nominees, and Mechanicsville supervisor Canova Peterson made his reap-

pointment official w i t h unanimous support from his fellow board memBOURASSA bers. Bourassa currently serves as vice chair of the panel. Peterson said he was glad to be retaining the services of both candidates, who he described as excellent. “I’m glad he (Barnette) did not resign from some of the other positions he already held in this community,” Peterson

said. “Fortunately, I get to keep both of these people doing the work in good positions with this county.” Peterson noted the qualifications of both candidates before nominating Bourassa. “As I mentioned in our last meeting, I had a great opportunity to have two people with significant service to be nominated for this position,” Peterson said. “Both have a long history of service in this community. I couldn’t make a bad decision. Barnette gave no reason for his decision to remove his name from consideration, but thanked supporters for placing see BOURASSA, pg. 11

The mortality rate with WNV is 30 percent, but up to 90 percent with EEE. There is no proven cure for these diseases, but veterinarians can provide supportive therapy. VDACS recommends that horse owners check with their veterinarians and if she or he recommends vaccination, the time to do it is now. “Both the WNV and EEE vaccine are highly effective in minimizing disease, if given approsee HORSES, pg. 4

Although many groups, including Virginia Tech, are conducting research on honeybee losses, no one cause stands out. It is a combination of environmental conditions, loss of habitat, pests and diseases such as Varroa mites, small hive beetles and nosema, pesticides around beehives and other factors affecting the sustainability of honeybees and other insect pollinators. VDACS is addressing the problem by encouraging people to become new beekeepers and existing beekeepers to add to their existing hives.

RICHMOND -- The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) announced last week that the winter losses of honeybee colonies over the 2017-2018 season were greater than expected and greater than the average of 30 percent per year for the past decade. “The winter losses were 59.5 percent,” said Keith Tignor, state apiarist. He adds that this is the highest rate since 2000 when the state began monitor-

ing winter losses. There was a decrease in colony losses reported for the summer of 2017 when compared to the 2016 summer season. VDACS staff found high levels of Varroa mites and nosema infections in wintering bees. Both of these maladies shorten the lifespan of worker bees, increasing mortality rates in winter months. Nationally, 30.7 percent of managed colonies in the United States were lost during the winter of 2017-2018. This represents a 9.5 percent increase over the previous year.

intimidate or harass; or the drone operator has received actual notice to desist. This does not apply if the operator has consent or is authorized by Federal regulation. The new statute requires knowing and intentional use to contact or capture an image and is punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor. Registered sex offenders cannot use a drone to follow or contact someone without permission or to capture images of a person unless that person is unrecognizable. The respondent of a protective order cannot use a drone to follow, contact or capture images of the petitioner or persons named in the protective order. A violation of either is a Class 1 misdemeanor. Effective on March 9, 2018, a practitioner of medicine or osteopathy licensed by the Board of Medicine may issue a written certificate for the use of cannabidiol oil (CBD) or THC-A oil for treatment or to alleviate the symptoms of any diagnosed condition or disease determined by the practitioner to benefit from such use. This provides an affirmative defense

to the possession of marijuana for one who has a certification or that individual’s parent or legal guardian. One hunting from an enclosed ground blind during any firearms deer season, except during the special season for hunting with a muzzle-loading rifle only, is now allowed to display attached to or immediately above the blind at least 100 square inches of solid blaze orange or pink material visible from 360 degrees in lieu of wearing specialized hunting apparel. The material or apparel must be solid in color or fluorescent in hue. A licensed hunter may use tracking dogs to find a wounded or dead bear, deer or turkey. That hunter may have a weapon in his possession and use it to humanely kill the tracked animal, including after legal shooting hours, but cannot use that weapon to hunt, wound or kill any other animal, except in self-defense. Arrow guns are authorized for hunting and certain disabled hunters may obtain an archery license for hunting

with an arrow gun. The requirement that a juvenile be housed separately from adults in an adult correctional facility has been removed upon a finding by the court that the juvenile presents a threat to a secure juvenile facility. The State Board of Corrections must approve an adult detention facility for the detention of such juveniles. The venue (location where a case is tried) for child abuse and neglect cases may now lie in the city or county where the alleged abuse or neglect occurred, the city or county where the child resides or where the child is present when the proceedings are commenced. A person who, while a minor 14 years of age or older, was ordered to involuntary inpatient or outpatient treatment or was subject to a temporary detention order and agreed to a voluntary admission is subject to the same restrictions on possessing, purchasing, or transporting a firearm as an adult who was likewise ordered. The individual my utilize the same procedure

as such an adult to petition to restore the firearms rights. This statute became effective April 18, 2018. The Virginia Critically Missing Adult Alert Program (Ashanti Alert) was established. This provides for local, regional or statewide notification for a critically missing adult, which is defined as whereabouts unknown, believed to have been abducted and the disappearance poses a credible threat to his or her safety. This is similar to an Amber Alert. Again, this article does not address every new law or all amendments to existing statutes. This is only a summary of those new statutes or changes to existing statutes which may be of interest. This article does not discuss in detail each provision of a statute.

Memories of the 4th and its true meaning By Melody Kinser Managing Editor As we celebrate our nation’s independence, memories come flooding in of spending time with family and friends at cookouts and watching fireworks. Most importantly, we always talked about why we observe the Fourth of July in such glorious ways. Our house always had a big American flag mounted at the front. I can still see the red, white and blue waving in patriotic fashion. Sadly, our country today isn’t the one in which I was raised. The division and ugliness that are running rampant will not diminish what today represents though.

We are Americans and I still believe in all being welcomed here. Yes, I still adhere to the notion of coming here through legal channels. That being said, let’s strive for the positive of why we are special. Our forefathers sacrificed so much to create the United States of America. We are blessed. Today we must focus on being Americans and loyal to our country. The Fourth also stirs memories of a group of teenagers seated on the lawn of a friend’s home that overlooked the island where city firefighters lit up the night sky with fireworks. That tradition included a stereo blaring Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon.” Funny how that memory comes to the forefront as every Fourth approaches.

With age and change in community stature due to employment, the opportunity presented itself to sit ringside to the fireworks display. That small coal mining town went all out to pay tribute to our great land. Hanover County spreads its patriotic fervor every Memorial Day and Veterans’ Day as those who gave all and those who served are remembered. Look around this county when you travel -- the flag flies proudly. Enjoy your hot dogs, hamburgers, etc., but don’t forget that this day stands above many others in that we are here because of leaders like our own Patrick Henry. God bless the U.S.A.

Krauthammer and Bourdain: look at lives lived By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist When you reach a certain maturity in life, it seems like more people you know are departing this wonderful existence. Now, I’m quite sure the same number of people is passing away and it just seems like more of them are acquaintances or wellknown folks who have been in my life for decades. I’m convinced it’s a generational effect of aging. When you’re in your 30s, most of the folks departing are

someone’s grandmother, or parent, but rarely someone close to you. Of course, there are no notable exceptions, and life always deals unexpected hands to all of us. With all of that said, it seems I hear about more and more deaths of friends or people who inspired my generation. The latest news that hit close to home was the passing of Charles Krauthammer, a Pulitzer-decorated journalist and regular contributor on Fox News. Krauthammer gained the respect

His reasoned, almost scientific, approach to the issues of the day made his take on events significant, even to those of us who often disagreed with his expressed views.

Movie mirrors current situation and followers I want to invite all your readers to watch a movie called “A Face in the Crowd” from 1957 with Andy Griffith, whose vulgar character in this film is about as opposite as one can be from good ol’ Andy Taylor. Also in it are Patricia Neal, Walter Matthau, a young Lee Remick, a thin Logan Ramsey, and Tony Franciosa with his accent before voice coaching: “I own fi’ty one puhcent! Yuh in BED wit me!” The film is about a man who stirs the common people. He starts out as a bum but becomes a national personality, and a demagogue. He has no respect for his followers but he has the knack of knowing what to say to them and how, and when -- and manipulates them perfectly. There are a few differences from today’s situation. Today’s demagogue is the opposite of poor, and his followers are not good-hearted. Today, the followers dream of Jim Crowe days and whites being able to look cross at a Negro and have him get worried. A sick fantasy that is attempting to raise its ugly head, but it will NEVER, EVER happen again in this nation. The ignorant followers have been stirred up to think it might. There are wonderful quotes in the movie such as: “This whole country’s just like my flock of sheep: rednecks, crackers, hillbillies, hausfraus, shut-ins, pea-pickers ...” “They’re MINE. I own ‘em! They think like I do. They’re even more stupid than I am, so I gotta think for ‘em.” “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Aven ...” oops, wrong demagogue. The way the demagogue’s success builds is similar to Hitler of the 1920s and of the one today, and of those before our lifetimes. But he, like Icarus, can only go so high and keep ruining people’s lives and acting out as he pleases. You can either watch the end of the movie or wait a year and see it live. The world will enjoy the end of our current situation. Don Ducote Mechanicsville

him, moved to Washington, D.C., and began a lifelong love affair with journalism and politics. There are a thousand lessons one could learn from Charles Krauthammer and his journey, but his tenacity and determination wouldn’t be a

bad place to begin. Many who watched him on television never knew of his disability, and while cruel commentators took cheap shots at his sometimes-stuttered speech, a direct result of his spinal cord injury, Krauthammer delivered his usual thoughtful and relevant commentary minus the increased decibel levels often

displayed by those seated beside him. His colleagues noted his desire to be judged with his peers, and he refused and disdained any attempt to give him the benefit of the doubt due to his disability. He bravely issued a public letter two weeks ago stating his declining condition and accepting a fate that awaits us all, a final act of courage by a courageous man who lived an extraordinary life and left us much too soon. Do words count? Krauthammer proved that they do and his intellect, insight and compassion are evident in every one he wrote. We are fortunate to have those words preserved for future generations to benefit and offer inspiration for decades to come. The same could be said for Anthony Bourdain who died shortly before Krauthammer issued his letter. As a working journalist,

the news of Bourdain’s death seemed like losing someone who also performed his job without taking the shortcuts that highlight today’s commentary and news cycles. Bourdain possessed the unique ability to take us on eclectic journeys to places we’d only read about, and, somehow, made us feel like we were seated right beside him. He introduced us to a type of travel, an off-the-beatenpath approach, that few would pursue on their own. His approach to his work was diligent, and Bourdain went the extra mile to get the real story, or introduce us to easily relatable natives who provided a unique insight into the culture and spirit of a nation. His death in France earlier this month is puzzling. While Krauthammer had every reason to resent or resist the struggles of life from a wheelchair, Bourdain, for all outward purposes, seemed to have

the world by the tail, living a life many of us could only view with a degree of envy. While Krauthammer embraced the daily struggle that life presented, for Bourdain, it became just too difficult. It confirms something all of us know. What appears on the outside does not reveal much about the inner struggles of any man or woman. We have no insight when it comes to seeing the soul of another. Suicide claims more than 45,000 lives a year, the tenth leading cause of death in America. Bourdain’s death exemplifies the need for all to pay close attention to changes in behavior in our friends and family, and the importance of seeking help if you are having suicidal thoughts. In the end, both men leave us with a clear message of wisdom not in their deaths, but in the way they lived.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA NATURAL GAS, INC., FOR APPROVAL OF ITS 2018 SAVE RIDER UPDATE CASE NO. PUR-2018-00079 On May 31, 2018, pursuant to § 56-604 E of the Code of Virginia, Virginia Natural Gas, Inc. (“VNG” or “Company”), filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) its annual adjustment application with respect to its Commission-approved Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy plan (“SAVE Plan”), under which VNG’s SAVE Rider, designated Rider E, is reconciled and adjusted (“2018 Annual Adjustment” or “Application”). The Company’s SAVE Plan is designed to facilitate the accelerated replacement of SAVE-eligible natural gas infrastructure. Rider E is designed to recover eligible infrastructure replacement costs associated with the SAVE Plan. VNG states that the calculation of the revenue requirement and rates associated with Rider E consist of two components: the SAVE Actual Cost Adjustment (“SACA”) and the Annual SAVE Factor (“ASF”), which were approved by the Commission in its 2012 SAVE Order. According to the Company, the SACA is an adjustment that ensures that the SAVE Rider recovers no more or less than the actual cost of implementing the SAVE Plan projects during the prior calendar year. Based on this calculation, the Company is proposing a SACA adjustment for the upcoming rate period of September 1,2018, through August 31, 2019, of $794,490. The Company states that the ASF establishes the rate required to recover the costs associated with the expected SAVE Plan plant investment for the period in which the rate will be effective. Based on this calculation, the ASF for the upcoming rate period is $5,683,875. By combining the ASF of $5,683,875 and the SACA of $794,490, the Company calculates a SAVE Rider revenue requirement of $6,478,365 for the rate period of September 1, 2018, through August 31, 2019. The Company further states that for purposes of the 2018 Annual Adjustment, the Company is applying the same revenue allocation factors proposed in the Company’s 2017 Base Rate Case, with one exception. According to the Company, the monthly SAVE Rider rate for customers receiving service under Schedule 1 — Residential will be $1.42, while the monthly SAVE Rider rate for customers receiving service under Schedules 6 and 7 — Large Firm C&I will be $181.75 and $158.71, respectively. The details of these and other proposals are set forth in the Company’s Application. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Company’s Application and supporting exhibits for the details of these proposals. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Comment that, among other things, granted the Company’s Motion, directed the Company to provide notice to the public, and provided interested persons an opportunity to comment on the Company’s Application. A copy of the Company’s Application may be obtained at no charge by requesting a copy of the same from the Company’s counsel, Elaine S. Ryan, Esquire, McGuireWoods LLP, Gateway Plaza, 800 East Canal Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. The Application and related documents also are available for review in the Commission’s Document Control Center located on the first floor of the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, between the hours of 8:15 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Interested persons also may download unofficial copies from the Commission’s website: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case. On or before July 18, 2018, interested persons may file written comments on VNG’s Application with Joel H. Peck, Clerk, State Corporation Commission, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23218. On or before July 18, 2018, interested persons desiring to submit comments electronically may do so by following the instructions on the Commission’s website: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case. Comments shall refer to Case No, PUR-2018-00079.

He married Lynne Jones in 1990 and in 1991 they welcomed their son, Carey Elson, into their Mechanicsville home. At Philip Morris, Ned became certified in hazardous waste management and containment which led him to his next career. He donned a hazmat suit and cleaned up government waste sites and oil spills. A work accident in 2000 left him with a spinal injury that put an end to his physical labor and athletics, so he attended ECPI and received an Associate’s Degree in Technology. His last job was working tech support for Verizon. Life became more challenging for Ned as his health and mobility began

OSWELL—The State Fair of Virginia has been chosen to host the American Milking Devon Mid-Atlantic Regional Show in conjunction with its Dairy Cattle Show Sept. 28-30. “It’s a big honor to be chosen to have this competition hosted during the State Fair,” said Glenn Martin, director of livestock and equine events. “This shows the growth we’ve had in the program.” Richard Larson of Old Gjerpen Farm in Culpeper County raises American Milking Devons as part of his farm’s rare breed conservation efforts. Martin said Larson was instrumental in getting the regional event at the State Fair. “We sell cows and heifers mostly to families looking for a milk cow that is an easy keeper,” Larson explained. “We’ve shown our Devons at the State Fair for the past two years and will again this year.” Larson said he anticipates a strong turnout of Milking Devon breeders and cattle for

the event, which starts at 1 p.m. Sept. 29, and the Devon breed standard scoring of individual animals, which begins at 9 a.m. Sept 30. The breed standard scoring competition will be informative for those interested in learning more about the historic breed, he added. “This regional gathering of breeders and their cattle at Metro Creative Graphics the 2018 State Fair is a unique opportunity to learn more about the breed up-close and personal,” Larson noted. Milking Devon cattle first arrived in North America in 1623 from Devonshire, England. They are a tripurpose breed with fewer than 2,000 registered in the U.S. today. While not well known outside of the Northeast, the cattle’s milk is used for making butter and cheese. The breed performs best in a grass-based environment, routinely producing up to 6,000 pounds of milk per lactation. Their milk also is especially high in omega-3 fats. The Milking Devon breed can produce milk for up to 20 years, Larson explained. “These genetic traits make the Milking Devon an excellent breed for families.”

The place to go at the 2018 Hanover Tomato Festival is the center tent, where attendees can purchase all the Hanover Tomatoes they want. After 39 years of selling Hanover Tomatoes from Dodd’s Acres Farm, the Tomato Festival Committee – Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department, The Mechanicsville Local and Hanover County Parks and Recreation – is buying the fruit from Rosa’s Gardens and Hanover Vegetable Farm this year. Robby Dodd passed away last year after having supplied the tomatoes to support the BCVFD for nearly four decades. Proceeds fund equipment and training for the local fire department. In the photo at the top, volunteers take a break to pose for the camera. At left, Sharon Benenson, Jonnelle Morris, Danielle Morris and Chandra Rojero work together to pack tomato sacks.

GRAL teams focusing on sharpening skills By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – It only takes two calendar weeks for the first half of the Greater Richmond Aquatic League season to pass by. Now, after the final meets of June, and a month to go before the annual Champs event, teams are beginning to sharpen their focus on goals while trying to win bragging rights at meets. In the battle between neighbors Atlee and Ashcreek, the visiting Gators got the upper hand with a 1,035.50 to 930.50 victory last Wednesday in a four-hour battle of wills in the pool.

Simmons was joined by 1:25.19, later shaving almost four seconds off her 50 freestyle Connor Allison, Meredith time in clocking in at 37.41 for Boggess, Ames Hargreaves, Jake Kilpatrick, Isabelle Lindsey, a victory.

Post 175 recovers, erupts in 5th inning to win By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Last year, Mechanicsville Post 175 could not solve the South Richmond Post 137 problem, as South Richmond won all of the two teams’ matchups. For the first four and a half innings of the teams’ meeting at Atlee High School Wednesday night, it seemed the trend would continue. But Mechanicville’s potent offense erupted for 11 runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to take a lead it would never relinquish in a 20-10, sixinning win. Post 175’s first three games have all been shortened as Mechanicsville has slaughtered its opponents. It defeated Lakeside Post 125 13-2 in a five-inning game on June 24 and outscored Colonial Heights Post 284B 19-9 in a six-inning contest on June 25. “It’s exciting. We do have the shortened games, but it seems like we’re scoring more runs. We just have a really strong lineup,” Said Post 175 manager Brandon Powers. “Everyone is all-team first, and they’re all just consistently working together.

Mechanicsville Post 175’s Zach Lass launches a single to drive in Nick Zona in Post 175’s 20-10 win over Post 137 Wednesday.

Everyone puts in good at-bats. We don’t have a lot of bad atbats. “That’s tough for an opposing pitcher to face that kind of lineup where you’re always having to bear down every at-bat, every batter you face. … It takes

a lot out of you when you have to press for every batter.” Mechanicsville has amassed 36 hits in its first three games, but Post 175’s batters are not free-swingers: They have also been the beneficiaries of 22 walks and 14 errors by oppo-

nents. Their team batting average is .411. The top half of the Mechanicsville batting order was especially productive against Post 137. Leadoff batter Nick Zona went 2-for-3 with three runs and two RBI; No. 2

Brian Sisson continued his torrid hitting so far with a 3-for-4 outing for four runs and three RBI. (He is now 10-for-12 on the season with eight runs and nine RBI.) No. 3 Zach Lass went 2-for-3 with three runs and four RBI; and Zach Beach

went 2-for-4 for three runs and four RBI. Pitching is still something of a question mark for Post 175, however. After its eruption in the fifth inning to take a 14-7 lead, the team gave up three runs in the sixth inning. (To be fair, the pitcher who began that inning was recovering from an eye injury. It’s tough to hit a strike zone with one good eye). Still, Post 137 is a good offensive team, with 10 hits of its own. “They squared the ball up. They’re a good offensive team,” Powers said. “We couldn’t beat them last year and we haven’t seen they’re best pitcher yet,” Powers said. But he is getting to know his pitchers, including Travis Shumate and Orien Debres, two rising seniors at King William who played key roles on the mound against Post 137. Shumate gummed up a South Richmond offense that had scored six runs in the first three innings, and Debres put down a Post 137 uprising in the sixth.

Hart, Avery Jenkins, Andrew Layne, Elijah McEntire, Meghan Powers, Jack Pritchett and Lily Sanderford. The Crocs, meanwhile, got a big boost from Haley Lambert, a triple winner, including a victory in the 13-14 girls 50 freestyle, seemingly gliding across the water under the starlight sky in 30.69 seconds, also taking the 50 butterfly with a time of 31.56. For Potter, who also coaches at Lee-Davis, the GRAL journey has moments unique to summer swimming, ones she very much enjoys. “It’s a little bit different. You don’t often get those ‘firsts’, which is what you get here,” Potter explained, asked about the difference between her coaching jobs. “Doing their first flip turn, kids being excited about swimming their first 25-meter race. You miss a lot of that with high school.” One of those moments belonged to Julianna Hister, who broke the one-minute barrier while winning the 8-andunder girls 50 freestyle, finishing in 54.16 while taking over seven seconds off her previous best. Hister was a triple winner, joining Lambert, Samuel Dugger, Cere Duplissey, Reed Fisher, Jake Legg and Lily

Meanwhile, a few miles west in Ashland, the Barracudas won their second-straight meet, besting new Division 2 rival Chestnut Oaks 1,088.5 to 985.5. The meet was character-

ized by Barracuda head coach Kevin Trent as a battle of team strengths. “Our meet was basically a battle of depth between their younger swimmers and our

older swimmers,” Trent noted. “We’ve been a top-heavy team for a couple of years now, and it came down to the butterfly events.” Records fell as Christine

Datovech broke the GRAL record in the 11-12 girls 50 freestyle for the second time this month, posting a time of 28.37, .13 better than her opening swim two weeks earlier. Thomas Senfield broke the Ashland team record in the 9-10 boys 100 freestyle, finishing in 1:18.53. Senfield was a quadruple winner for Ashland, along with Grace Gordon and Mark Dinger, who won the 15-18 boys 100 freestyle, just missing the one-minute barrier, winning in a personal best time of 1:00.09. Datovech won three races, along with Kate Balut, Deklan Cauthorne, Paul Datovech, Claire Grant, Hunter Lee, Elizabeth Roberts, Emmeline Roberts, Samantha Senfield and Ethan Spencer. Ashland’s next meet takes them to Ashcreek on July 11, part of a new schedule that has boosted the already-high energy and excitement for the veteran Barracudas. “We’re enjoying new competition. We hadn’t faced Chestnut Oaks in probably a dozen years, and it was nice to swim against them again,” Trent said. It was also nice to get another victory as swimmers reach the wall, make the turn, some for the first time, and head straight for the season’s homestretch.
