Celebrating Hanover style
40 years! Tomato Festival embraces history in 2018 By Melody Kinser Managing Editor
Joel Klein for The Local
What heat? These kids, photo above, didn’t care about the temperatures last Wednesday. They were interested in checking out all the activities at the Ashland Fourth of July Celebration. Below, Charles, Courtney and Sylvia Link of Montpelier enjoyed a shady spot and a hamburger during the 2018 Beaverdam Independence Day Parade. More photos of both events can be found on page 16; a story about Beaverdam’s day is on page 13.

MECHANICSVILLE – An idea that was spawned in 1978 has turned into the biggest event of the year in Mechanicsville. Seeking ways to raise funds for the fire station, the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department decided to sponsor a festival, with the star attraction being the Hanover Tomato. That fruit has brought widespread attention to the county, in addition to muchneeded financial aid for the VFD. This year’s festival will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pole Green Park at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville. Forty years ago, President Larry Sutton and Fire Chief Oscar Watson spearheaded the project, with all agreeing
to a small local festival at the site of the former firehouse on McClellan Road.

This is what it’s all about! The Hanover Tomato will be sold in the center tent on Saturday as the 40th Hanover Tomato Festival fills the grounds of Pole Green Park.
Once the decision was made to go the route of a festival, the next question was “What will the theme be?” Black Creek VFD members were aware that the Camptown Races was being used in Ashland and the Oyster Festival in Urbanna. Unique was the next word to be considered in determining a theme. Looking around the rural community, everyone saw the fields of vegetables, especially tomatoes. Eureka -a theme was found, with the Hanover Tomato Festival. That first festival 40 years ago at the original fire station location featured a Fireman’s Parade and contests, including one eating tomatoes. About 300 people came to the event. Samples of dishes prepared with the famous tomatoes were brought in by local homemakers. see HISTORY, pg. 4

ongoing commitment to upholding the highest academic standards,” Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent of HCPS, said. “Each day, our teachers, administrators, and staff work tirelessly to provide our students with the most relevant, equitable, and innovative education possible. “I am grateful for their efforts and proud of our students’ hard work and achievement,” he added. Information submitted by Chris R. Whitley, Hanover County Public Schools public information officer.
and Recreation approached the VFD about assisting with manpower and planning. The opening of Pole Green Park provided the perfect space for the ever-expanding Tomato Festival. As more vendors and activities were added to the day, the crowds filled the park, with a record 42,000 turning out for the 2009 event. The now-defunct Herald-
Progress newspaper joined the board as a sponsor to help market the festival. In 2009, The Mechanicsville Local was added to the board. Through four decades, the Hanover Tomato Festival has become the largest single day event in Hanover County. The past few years have seen Friday evening additions, including a Pizza Run. Watson, who passed away in 2012, purchased tomatoes from Robby Dodd. Sadly, Dodd died last year, but his family did supply the tomatoes for the final time. This year, the tomatoes, still grown locally in Hanover County, are being provided by Rosa’s Gardens and Hanover Vegetable Farm. Forty years later, the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department is still involved with the Hanover Tomato Festival, as well as Hanover Parks & Rec and The Local. Proceeds from Saturday’s festival will hold to tradition by benefiting the BCVFD. Those monies go toward buying equipment and undergoing training. For more information about the 32nd Annual Hanover Tomato Festival, visit https://www.hanovertomatofestival.com/. Larry Leber of the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department contributed to this article.

Michelle and Mark Friedhoff recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary by taking a 12-day cruise through the Greek islands. The ship would cruise between islands at night and they would join a tour group and explore a new island every day.It was while on one of these tours, halfway around the world, that they heard the most amazing thing. Standing in line, they heard the gentleman behind them ask his wife “Did you remember to bring The Local?” Mark immediately turned around and asked, “Do you mean The Mechanicsville Local?” To which the stranger replied “Yes!” Mark said, “I have mine!” David and Cathie Arthur also are from Mechanicsville. They were in Greece celebrating their 37th anniversary and Cathie’s retirement after 44 years at VCU’s Children’s Hospital NICU.

Wow! Four decades of celebrating the tomato By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Pole Green Park will come alive on Saturday with the biggest event in Mechanicsville celebrating 40 years of food, fun, games, entertainment, vendors, and, most of all, the Hanover Tomato. My start date with Richmond Suburban News was scheduled for Monday, July 14, 2008. I was still living in Winchester when the 30th Hanover Tomato Festival was being held on Saturday, July 5, so I decided to drive down to check out the festivities at the park. Suffice it to say, arriving around 1 p.m. meant encountering lots of traffic, which is a good thing. So I did a slow drive-thru (an easy task since there were so many vehicles entering and exiting) to check out the sights and sounds. First impression was “Wow!” The scale of the festival was beyond my imagination. As I was becoming acquainted with Mechanicsville, I
quickly learned why the Hanover Tomato Festival was “the” event of the year. Let’s fast forward to 2009 when I showed up early to wander around the grounds and help coworkers in The Mechanicsville Local’s tent. My inaugural appearance at the Tomato Festival proved memorable, to say the least. That was the year that 42,000 people attended and traffic stretched out to U.S. 360 and Interstate 295. Pole Green Road seemed to be back-to-back traffic in every direction. But, despite the overwhelming attendance and traffic, it was an incredible day -- and one I’ll never forget. With the 2018 Hanover Tomato Festival being held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 14, thoughts always turn to the late Oscar Watson who devoted himself to the festival year-round. In 1978, the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department started the festival to raise funds for
equipment and training. Sales from Robby Dodd’s Hanover Tomatoes brought in the money. BCVFD benefited after expenses were paid. Sadly, Oscar passed away in 2012 and Mr. Dodd died last year. Their names will forever be tied to the festival. Oscar was a great help to me through the years. I miss him when we start publishing promotional stories about the festival. He was so kind and helpful, and I enjoyed our talks. Back to the tomatoes. This year, they are being provided by Rosa’s Gardens and Hanover Vegetable Farm. The Hanover Tomato Festival is presented by the Black Creek VFD, The Mechanicsville Local and Hanover County Parks and Recreation. Pole Green Park is located at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville. For more information, go to https://www. hanovertomatofestival.com/.
Defining civility, or the lack of, in today’s society By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I began the process of writing this column early in the week, the first step of a process that first involves a thought, then an outline, then a rough draft of a column. With every intention of addressing the question of civility, or the lack of, in today’s public forums, and how
recent events test our ability to determine what is offensive and what is not when it comes to discourse, I began that familiar routine. Now, civility is one of those subtle issues whose parameters are, at best, difficult to define, and, more often than not, the beholder defines the line. There’s also no doubt that what is acceptable behavior to some may

seem totally civil, while the same action may deeply offend others. For me, the definition is no easier, but the ability to decipher just when someone has crossed that blurry line is best evidenced by my gut reaction. For example, when protesters showed up at Barack Obama’s rallies with guns strapped on their sides, the cringe factor was immediate and
clearly defined. My first thought was there’s no place for this type of behavior in the America that I know and love. I got that same uneasy feeling when White House spokesman Sarah Sanders recently was asked to leave a well-known eatery in Lexington. My first thoughts affirmed an abilsee CIVILITY, pg. 7

Surprised by editorial opinion on immigration If you feel guilty, see a priest! Wow -- how far does the left have to go? I read your editorial on June 27 and I was very surprised. How can you equate illegal immigration with legal immigration at Ellis Island and the horrors of Nazi Germany and World War II internment camps? You really are clueless about the subject. U.S. global standing is solid today versus Obama, and people of the European Union are rebelling, i.e., Italy, Spain, Austria, Romania, Greece and others because of today’s EU/ German illegal immigration policies of their leftist governments. What happened to your outrage under Obama’s eight years of family separations and beating children? The 2014 picture show all that and their stories. Where were you then? To make your point even more ridiculous you end with “If it can happen to these illegal immigrants and their children, who’s to say it won’t happen to you to? Think about that.” Well, your last point first. I thought about that along with my family and friends. This might be a shock to you, but it does happen to Americans here in the USA every day. If a cop stops you and let’s say you are drunk driving (like illegal immigrants do) and happen to have your children with you, guess what happens next, they will separate you from your “screaming children” and you go to jail. Why? Because you broke the law, you did something illegal. The parents that you support are coming to the USA illegally! In other words, they are law-breakers and willingly bring their children (their responsibility) and don’t make it ours. Social Services do it daily, taking children from their parents. I guess that see LETTERS, pg. 8
Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Hodnett
The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Bella, 515907, is an 8-year-old (estimated) female pitbull. She has has her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Bella has come a long way in the month she has been in the shelter. She arrived with some serious skin issues. She has since been treated twice with medicine and her skin looks much better. Bella has a very sweet personality. She loves to be around people. Bella also does well around other dogs. If you are looking for a laid-back doggie, then Bella would be a perfect fit for you. Emily, 514662, is a 1-year-old (estimated) female domestic short-haired feline. She has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Emily has been at the shelter since mid-May. She has developed into a really super cat. She was timid at first, but she has become really outgoing with a little TLC. Emily is well litter-trained. She is not very active, but she loves to be pet and loved. She also doesn’t seem to mind socializing with new cats she meets. She will make a perfect family companion. For more information on these great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays.

CIVILITY Continued from pg. 6
ity I depend on to determine when someone or something has gone too far when it comes to civil discourse. The thought of anyone being asked to leave a public establishment due to his or her political beliefs is clearly over that line. Realizing that Sanders regularly berates the press and attempts to diminish their important role in our society, does not diminish the freedoms she and her family have — a right to eat or gather anywhere in America, without repercussion or biased-based objection. In my original plan, I intended to address recent examples of uncivil behav-
ior, including Maxine Waters’ call for obnoxious actions of harassment. It’s not my idea of civil disobedience to physically confront or harass political enemies, or those who don’t agree with a certain point of view. The plans changed when a gunman entered the Capital Gazette in Annapolis and killed five people whom I consider my colleagues. Their deaths shed a whole new light on civility in America in 2018, and exposed a frightening environment where disagreement leads to life-altering outcomes. I’ve watched without comment as members of the press have been mocked, singled out for public harassment, and accused of unprofessional and biased reporting.
The response has been somewhat unnoticeable, just the way it should be. It’s not the job of the press to defend a tradition of seeking answers to difficult questions, or respond to those who take pleasure in arousing the masses against the Fourth Estate. Learning more about the journalists who lost their lives doing what they loved only intensifies the depth of the loss. They were part of a collection of journalists nationwide who cover the news in their communities and offer insight and oversight where none would otherwise be available. For every talking head featured on the 24-hour cable news cycle, there are tens of thousands of community journalists who work their beats see CIVILITY, pg. 8

Stop your comparison to Nazi Germany and other such nonsense to make a losing point about breaking the law. Illegal is illegal period. I know something about legal immigration first-hand. I am a legal immigrant and became a proud U.S. citizen many decades ago. I also proudly served in the U.S. Marine Corps and as a city police officer. Do you and your ilk know what it takes to come to this country as a legal immigrant? Find out and write that in your Mechanicsville Local. In other words, do something useful instead of creating fantasy and fear to readers that are clueless as you are about right or wrong, legal immigration vs. illegal immigration, what are parents’ responsibilities and our government’s. Also educate your readers about what is asylum, that the first country a seeker comes to is responsible to grant it! In these cases, it’s Mexico the first country they arrived so don’t make it a U.S. problem. The Democrats prefer it to be our problem.

Just as a couple of examples: The Time magazine picture of the little girl crying over being separated from her mother was fake; she was really standing next to her mother. The picture of two little boys in a cage was from 2014, during the Obama Administration, as were many others that have been used by “news� outlets to vilify President Trump. Your comparison of the detention facilities to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany was totally ridiculous; the poor souls in the concentration camps would, I or monitor their sources for news that is important, all in an effort to provide facts and
am certain, have preferred air conditioning, showers, decent food, and a safe, short stay to being worked to death. I also failed to see you mention anything about American children that are separated from their parents when their parents break the law and go to jail, or about the American children of military members that are separated from their parents, or about the American children of law enforcement officers that are separated when the parent is killed by a criminal. Most of all, you did not mention the thousands of unborn American children ripped (separated) from their mother by abortion. Do you only feel sorry for the children of illegals? If the parents did the process legally there would be no separation. Thomas E. Williams Mechanicsville
What’s best for the child must be priority (Editor’s note: The following letter was submitted in response to an editorial concerning the separation of immigrant children, some illegal, from their parents by Managing Editor Melody Kinser that appeared in the June 27, 2018, edition of The Mechanicsville Local.) scenarios that allow you, the reader, to make decisions on important issues.

Although, as a mother of three children myself, I certainly feel the same way as you stated in your article. It pulls and tears at my heart as a mother to even imagine our child being taken away from you. But, I must point out something you failed to address in your article that needs to be added for a more objective point of view. Before moving to Virginia, I was a court-appointed officer of the court as a guardian ad litem in the state of North Carolina. My sole job as a GAL was to represent abused and neglected children completely free of charge —total volunteering time, without influence of anyone! I represented that child only! Children are taken away from their homes their parent every day of the week in your state, in your town and maybe even on your street from “legal� residents because of either abuse, neglect, parents deemed unfit, and/or incarcerated! Incarcerated parents cannot take their children into the jail with them. Every day, when a mother and/or father make bad decisions and are incarcerated, their children have to be taken away from them. That is here in the United States! No one is screaming about them . . . or at least not in your article. So, it seems, your article, per-
haps, is maybe more politically slanted. If one is here in the U.S. “illegally,� then they must obey the letter of the law, just like you and I have to do. Otherwise, we must suffer the consequences of our poor choices. Isn’t that what we, as parents, should be teaching our children? The natural consequences of their behavior . . . If we make bad decisions, then we must be prepared to suffer the natural consequences of that decision – some source of punishment. If we do not have laws in our nation, our nation would be utter chaos, and we now this. Perhaps I wanted to run a red light because I wanted to get to the grocery store before it closed. I know, it is against the law to do that, right? But, I do it anyway. You, Ms. Editor, are going home after a hard day’s work of reading letters like this and mulling over what you have to do once you get home. But, instead, my huge vehicle collides with your car – no fault of your own because you were a law-abiding citizen and certainly had the “legal� rightof-way to go through that intersection without having to worry about an “illegally� approaching vehicle. But, the end result was, you were killed by my poor choice of disregarding the law. Would
you not want me punished to the full letter of the law? Of course, you would . . . and so would I! We cannot arbitrarily pick and choose what laws we want to abide by. I know this “simple story� is of the magnitude of the “illegal citizens crossing into our country,� but laws are laws, regardless if we like them or not. Our judicial system has, in its infinite wisdom, determined that in order for you to legally reside in the United States, you must do the steps to become a legal resident and these people have failed to do so. As adults, we all are responsible for our children because we are supposed to be more mature and make better decisions than a child. It is very unfortunate for the many parents who have been separated from their children because of this poor choice. I do not believe that our government would ever harm a child, or even from another country, as you implied in your article . . . “caged like animals.� They were provided with healthy shelter, food, warmth and love. Even children removed from homes here in the United States that have to wander the streets at night and eat out of peoples’ trash cans
Community journalism is up-close and personal. Those five professionals exemplified that tradition, witnessed by the outpouring of compassion and sympathy displayed by the people who knew them best -- their readers. My column on the lack of civility suddenly seemed trite and insignificant when compared to the loss of these dedicated newspapermen and women. After all, a complimentary
cheese plate and some hurt feelings or a disgruntled politician’s unruly display are certainly items worth discussing, but not life-ending. The right for the public to know is an often-overlooked stalwart of our democratic process. Insightful reporters who speak truth to power and provide the only oversight available for the public to consider are an important element of that concept. The thousands of words
that might have been penned by those five journalists are lost forever, but the spirit in which they performed their job is forever reinforced by their inspiring sacrifice. As for civility, any semblance of that was clearly not present in that newsroom. Even in the face of that disaster, the paper made its regular run the following day, a clear message to the resilience of people who are dedicated to something we all hold dear: The public’s right to know.

Parade entries were judged and the Classic Car Show and Miss Beaverdam Pageant were concluded at the Ruritan Park after the parade was over. Members of the Beaverdam Ruritan Club extended their thanks to all the parade participants, parade watchers, Miss Beaverdam contestants, Car Show participants and those that helped celebrate at the Ruritan Park and making the 42nd Parade another great success.

New state accreditation system started on July 1 By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- Rising ninth-graders in Hanover County Public Schools will be playing by a different set of rules when it comes to Virginia’s Standards of Accreditation. Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Greif presented the new guidelines passed by the Department of Education earlier this year that went into effect on July 1. “SOL testing will continue,” Superintendent Michael Gill said. “However, that will not GREIF be, officially, the sole judge of accreditation.” The new state Standards of Accreditation expand current guidelines that require passing rates for whole groups of students, a 75 percent passage rate in literacy and writing and a 70 percent pass rate for science math and history. “We also look at graduation rates in our

schools; and that’s it,” Greif said. “This is an expanded accountability system that looks a little more like the federal system that we have been living with for quite awhile,” she added. Changes in the system allow for the consideration of several additional factors, including comprehensive data like student growth. “This is an amazing opportunity for us to work with all of our students,” Greif said. Other metrics included in the state’s new accreditation system is a measurement of how ESL (English as a Second Language) students are progressing, metrics for socio-economic and ethnic makeup of a district and a system’s ability to prepare students for post-graduate pursuits. Officials will monitor quality indicators to assess accreditation requirements, including overall proficiency rates in reading and math, science and English. In addition, chronic absenteeism will be considered and graduation and dropout rates continue to be a metric. Systems will be evaluated on each indicator and issued one of three classifications. They include Level 1 where standards are met or exceeded. Level 2 indicates near the standard or
BONNY BROWN TATE Bonny Brown Tate, 68, of Mechanicsville, passed away on Sunday, July 1, 2018. She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, John D. Tate; and is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Tate; brother, William TATE Brown;
brothers and sisters-inlaw, Jean Johnson, Stuart Tate (Donna), Gail Adams (William), Ross Tate (Paula), Rose Tate and Keith Tate; as well as several nieces and nephews.

complete the following courses for a standard diploma: Four English credits with one verified course in writing and reading. Three math credits, including one verified credit (Algebra I or higher). Three science credits (one verified). Three history and social science credits.
Two health and physical education credits. Two world language, fine arts or CTE (career and technical education) credits. One economics and personal finance credit. Four elective credits. CTE credential or AP/IB (Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate) or DE (dual enrollment) advanced credit. Advanced diplomas will require an additional credit in math, science, history and world language and a single fine arts credit. Verified credits can be achieved through several methods, including end of course SOL tests, a state-approved substitute test or a performance-based assessment. “This is much more complex compared to what we currently have,” Gill said. “It will be a learning experience for all of us. I think the state has shown that they are interested in more than the metrics and that’s important. It’s certainly far better than the current system and we are eager to rise to the challenge.”

because their parents don’t care enough about them to #1, be there in the home to protect them; #2 provide food for their children; or #3 just plain care enough about their children to rise up beyond their need
for drugs or alcohol or whatever . . . When the child or children are removed from that awful quagmire, they cry, they call out “Papa” or “Mama” because that is all they know. They have never experienced a safe place in life. This is very sad, but very true! I have seen it too many
times and I, like you, awake at night hearing those cries. But what I do know is that I know that sometimes our decisions, as hard as they may be for the child is “for the child.” As a mother, my heart is always on the side of nurturing and loving every little creation
God has made -- and, so, we as all Americas should be! It is a shame that their parents didn’t make better decisions for their children. Perhaps they’ll learn how to come into our country the legal and right way next time. Trish May Lennick Mechanicsville

Trivett moves into mayor’s seat; Hodges, McGraw sworn in ASHLAND -- Ashland has a new mayor. Vice Mayor Steve Trivett was unanimously selected by his fellow council members to fill the shoes of outgoing Mayor Jim Foley. Trivett, an Elmont native, was first elected in 2012 and has served as vice mayor for the past year. “I think we have a great council and great staff and a great community that can accomplish great things,” Trivett said after his selection. John Hodges was selected as vice mayor following a swearing in ceremony that included Hodges and new council member Dan McGraw. Former Town Manager Frank Hargrove Jr. administered the oath of office. As the new council members took their office, it was also time to say goodbye and acknowledge the work performed by the outgoing mayor. Council presented Foley with a resolution recognizing his accomplishments in his six years on council. The resolution noted suc-
cesses that included fending off an effort to construct a third rail through downtown Ashland, the initiation of legacy projects like the pool renovation and new Ashland Town Hall, and installation of a fiber network. The resolution stated that the former mayor preformed his duties with an “informing and entertaining” style. Foley accepted the resolution surrounded by family members. The list of upcoming changes for council continued when Town Manager Joshua Farrar announced the departure of Joseph Collins, who currently serves as clerk of the council and management analyst. Farrar suggested a change in the current organizational structure that included the creation of an assistant town manager’s position that would encompass current duties performed by Collins with some additions. “Every loss is an opportunity. Unfortunately, we are going to lose Mr. Collins in the next 30 days,” Farrar said. “I think this is a good opportunity for us to change that posi-

tion to assistant town manager, changing back from the deputy of finance.” Duties would include parks and recreation, IT, tourism, public information and budget development. “Quite frankly, a lot of things that I do now,” Farrar said in describing the proposed position. “We do change positions over time. That’s one of our regular practices based on the needs of the community.” Farrar said that having an assistant town manager helped former town manager Frank Hargrove in his duties and allowed him “to fulfill the potential he had as a town manager. It frees you up to focus on the really big stuff of moving the organization in a strategic direction rather than project management. Right now, I spend a lot of time in project management.” Farrar suggested reclassifying the position once Collins departs on July 31 to accept a position in Boston, Massachusetts. There is a financial impact

Reynolds professor, graduate working on Hanover projects RICHMOND -- Reynolds Community College biology professor Dr. Richard Groover and Reynolds graduate Donald Cooper (May 2018) have teamed up to work on two of Groover’s summer ecology and business discipline research projects. One project involves the Hollows Golf Course in Hanover County. Groover and Cooper will research the effects of lake shore management to entice dragonfly abundance and variety by cutting less of the water’s edge vegetation. Groover said that will save the golf course the expense of hand trimming along the 12-acre lake, while an additional benefit for the

looking at the biodiversity of dragonflies on these protected lands with additional consideration of economic aspects. “Working with Dr. Groover has been an illuminating experience with how I conduct research,” said Cooper. “I have always had an interdisciplinary approach to thinking and learning, so when I asked Dr. Groover if we could in some way tie economics to his study of Dragonflies, I was excited to hear that he had some ideas for us. It’s even more exciting that our findings, through the support of collected data, may
help a lot of people in the near future.” Cooper completed his studies at Reynolds and has been accepted at the University of Virginia for the 2018 fall semester. He is a recipient of the Valley Proteins Summer Stipend program and also was a Coca-Cola Bronze Scholar and was in the Honors program while at Reynolds. Groover’s research is partially funded by a Small Project Grant from the Virginia Academy of Science.

Atlee, Rockville teams claim district titles By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Insurance is usually a good thing to have when it comes to the important things in life. It can also to extend to areas where a policy isn’t available. Just ask the Atlee Little League All-Stars Majors softball team. On a night where a big fourrun third inning provided a comfortable mid-game advantage, the young ladies soon realized their work wasn’t done. In the end, two insurance runs in the sixth inning were needed to quell the continued threat of rival Tuckahoe and take the 2018 District Five Championship with an 8-6 triumph at home last Tuesday night. “We were extremely happy with the way they played,” said Atlee coach Steve Duling when asked about the need to remind the team to keep up the offensive pressure. “They had to be reminded, but I also think knowing that was within them.” Opportunities came and went for both teams early, until the third, when Atlee took a 1-0 lead. Then, with two aboard, Mollie McArdle, and Ireland native who moved to Virginia a few years ago, launched a fly ball down the right field line, finding its way into the corner 207 feet from home. McArdle never hesitated, rounding third base to finish a three-run inside the

Post 175 rides grand slam, no-no to victory including our pitching coach, they were right on the money, every call they had,” Powers said. “Woody really believed in coach Setelin and coach Setelin really believed in Woody. There were a lot of full counts where [Woodall] threw some breaking balls and they were located for a strike. That’s a credit to him and the confidence that our staff has in him to be our No. 1. “We’re looking to that guy to be the No. 1. He’s done a pretty good job of making his case.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor COLONIAL HEIGHTS – Two games, two grand slams. Mechanicsville Post 175 has been on quite a roll this season, with an offense that has steamrolled its opponents: Just past the midpoint of the American Legion baseball season, the team stands undefeated, with its smallest margin of victory at nine runs. Post 175’s potent offense was on display in that game – a 9-0 shutout against Colonial Heights Post 284B Saturday night at Shepherd Stadium, as Post 175 generated eight hits, including one by Zach Beach. Beach’s hit was, however, a grand slam. Beach’s second grand slam in as many games. Beach credited his teammates for helping him in the RBI department. “I’m just getting lucky. My teammates are putting me in a good spot,” said Beach, who hit a grand slam in the team’s previous outing at Powhatan High School on Thursday. “They’re getting on base, wreaking havoc on the base paths just so I can have the opportunity to hit the ball far. I’m just trying to barrel it up and make something happen.” In an earlier outing against Post 284B, Beach went 0-for-4. “I had four strikeouts in that game,” Beach said. “So I guess it really drove me to not let that happen again. I’ve been working really hard to see the ball hit the bat, try to find the barrel. … I’m focusing in the on-deck circles, trying get my timing down so I’m ready for anything they throw at me.” Whatever he’s doing is working. In the eight games the team has played so far – which includes a 15-3 pounding of Lakeside Post 125 Sunday

Above, Mechanicsville Post 175’s Austin Odell gets past Colonial Heights Post 284B catcher Collin Short’s tag attempt in Post 175’s 9-0 win over Post 284B at Shepherd Stadium Saturday. Right, Post 175 pitcher Justin Woodall struck out 11 Colonial Heights batters while turning in a no-hit effort.
– Beach is batting .435 so far this season, with 10 hits in 23 at-bats for a team-high 21 RBI. His 15 runs scored is second only to Brian Sisson (.586 BA, 16 RBI) and Nick Zona (.385 BA, 10 RBI), who each have scored 17 runs. Top to bottom, the batting order is stacked with players hitting, on average, .300 or better. Sisson tops the list, followed by Zach Lass (.462), Beach, Braden Lambert (.429), Camden Grimes (.417), Austin Odell (.389), Zona, Dalton Davis (.333) and Trey Karnes (.308). For the first four innings, Post 175 was held scoreless and hitless by Colonial Heights starter Hunter Vaughan. But Mechanicsville’s bats awakened with two outs in the fifth
inning. Grimes walked and stole second. Beach was hit by a pitch, then J.T. Fitzpatrick (.286 BA) drove a 1-0 pitch into left field for a double and two RBI as Grimes scored easily and Beach dove headfirst to beat the throw at home. Beach’s grand slam came in the sixth inning. The offense spotted Post 284B two outs again. Sisson singled, Zona singled, and Grimes hit into a fielder’s choice that yielded no outs: the target was Zona, who beat the throw to second. Beach stepped up and fell behind in the count 1-2 before hammering the ball over the center field fence. The Mechanicsville offense wasted no time getting runners on in the seventh inning, as Lambert opened the inning
with a single and Odell followed one out later with a double. Lass followed with a double to score Lambert and Odell (who slid under an attempted tag to score) and advanced to third on the throw home. He then scored on a sacrifice fly by Sisson. Post 175 then turned the game over to starting pitcher Justin Woodall, who slammed the door on the Colonial Heights batters. He allowed just three baserunners – two on
errors and one, in the seventh inning, on a base on balls – but got Post 284’s Nate Tuck to pop up to Fitzpatrick at second base and end the game with a nohitter. Woodall finished with 99 pitches, 64 of them strikes, and 11 strikeouts. Powers credited the teamwork among his battery – Woodall and catcher Hunter Beck – and pitching coach Jeremy Setelin. “The battery right there,

guys are mature. They play a lot of tough competition and we have them on the Legion field together. They’re used to seeing competition in Hanover County. You get some good arms coming through there. It makes you mature a little bit. They put good swings on the ball in hitter’s counts.” Two more runs would score on wild pitches to make it 3-0.
Powhatan brought in a new pitcher in Austin Nicholas, who got two quick outs before the Mechanicsville offense struck again. Austin Odell doubled to bring home Beach and Fitzpatrick to make it 5-0. Odell would score on a double by Dalton Davis to make it 6-0. On the mound, Travis Shumate dominated the Post
201 lineup. Shumate allowed just three hits over the five innings, struck out four and walked four. “Shumate did a heck of a job,” Powers said. “Our defense made plays behind him. That’s all you can ask for. We make plays in the field, we throw strikes and we produce at the plate.” Powhatan only had more than one runner on base one
time in the game. After Post 201’s lone run scored in the bottom of the second to make it 6-1, Post 175 put up a four-spot in the top of the fourth. Zona worked a leadoff walk, followed two batters later by Beach reaching with a single. Two batters later, Braden Lambert brought both runners home with a double.
Hunter Beck reached on an error by Post 201 shortstop Cale Agee, which allowed Lambert to score and make it 9-1. Odell brought Beck home on a two-out double to make it 10-1. Post 175 scored seven of its runs in the game with two outs. In the top of the fifth, Sisson led the inning off with a single, followed by a walk to Zona. Grimes reached on an error by Agee. Then, Beach hammered a pitch offered by reliever Owen Agee over the right-center fence for a grand slam that put the period on the win for Post 175. Powers said that he feels that the team is in a good place at this point in the season. “We’re trying to feel guys out,” he said. “Some guys like to start, some like to come out like a bulldog from the bullpen. It’s only a 14 game season, so you have to figure it out quick. But, we’re gearing up for the second half of the season. We want to keep it on a positive note and we’re figuring things out as a coaching staff.” Billy Fellin is sports editor of Powhatan Today, Goochland Gazette and Cumberland Today. He can be reached at wfellin@ powhatantoday.com.
inning left, Atlee’s lead was a precarious 6-5. Liz Crafton, a late inning speedster used as a pinch runner, scored her second run of the game on a single from Blake Jamerson in the top of the sixth. Then McArdle came up big again, beating a throw on a grounder deep in the hole at shortstop, allowing Jamerson to score. It would be Crafton’s run, however, that proved most crucial, as Tuckahoe would score one on a Katelyn Hubley twoout double, but Atlee pitcher
Peyton Chambers induced a groundout to Jamerson at third to set off the championship celebration. It was the second District Five softball title to come home to Atlee, who has hosted most of the district tournaments this season. The previous Friday, the Atlee 8-10 Softball All-Stars experienced a similar title tilt, holding off a late Chesterfield rally for a 3-1 victory and a championship. This group began state tournament play on Friday in Bristol, Virginia, and used
potent offense, and strong pitching, to sweep to three victories in pool play, 3-0 over Coeburn, 20-4 over Western Prince William, and 14-0 over McLean on Sunday. In Little League District Five Baseball, the Ashland Senior All-Stars had to do it the hard way, after losing to long time rival Central Chesterfield in the second round of their tournament, but bounced back with three victories to force a winner take all final with Tuckahoe National, winning that game by a 12-8 margin to clinch the title.
Ashland opened state tournament play falling 13-3 to Lower Loudoun, but was victorious 13-1 over Lebanon on Sunday night to advance in the elimination bracket. The Mechanicsville 9-11 Baseball All-Stars, meanwhile, moved undefeated through their District Five tournament, capturing the title Saturday with a win over Tuckahoe National. Mechanicsville reports to Woodstock, Virginia, for its state tourney beginning July 19. In Babe Ruth Softball, the Rockville 12U All-Stars won
their district tournament last weekend with three straight victories in Hampton. They advance to Virginia State Tournament action beginning Thursday when they face host Northeast Augusta County in Fishersville at 10 a.m. The Rockville 8U All-Stars finished as district runners-up, also earning a bid to state tourney play. They, too, will begin on Thursday in Manassas, facing host Manassas American beginning at 7 p.m. Rob Witham can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.
By Billy Fellin Richmond Suburban News POWHATAN – The only thing that was hotter than the temperatures on July 5 at Powhatan High School was Mechanicsville Post 175’s offense. Fueled by a six-run first inning and capped off with a grand slam by Zach Beach, Mechanicsville Post 175 rolled past Powhatan Post 201 14-1 at Powhatan High School which ended due to the slaughter rule after five innings. “We swung the bat well,” said Post 175 manager Brandon Powers. “Their pitching wasn’t bad. We just hit the ball really hard.” Mechanicsville got on Post 201 from the get-go, as leadoff batter Brian Sisson and No. 2 batter Nick Zona both reached base to start the first. Then, Post 201 pitcher Josh Dawson had trouble finding the strike zone and the Post 175 hitters had a good eye on Dawson’s offerings. Camden Grimes, Zach Beach and J.T. Fitzpatrick all worked walks, which forced a run home to make it 1-0. “We have a lot of advanced hitters,” Powers said. “These

the fourth and fifth innings, extending their lead back to four, only to watch as Tuckahoe rebounded with three huge runs in the bottom of the fifth. Pitcher Allie Hazlegrove’s sharp line drive to third was knocked down, but not fielded to score one run. Kellyn Stack followed two batters later with an RBI groundout to plate A.G. Howe, and Hazlegrove later came home on a wild pitch. With an

Lottery scratcher nets local woman $1 million Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com
Photo submitted by the Virginia Lottery
Joan Hennis, center, celebrates her $1 million win in the Virginia Lottery with her daughter Jennifer and son Tommy.
RICHMOND -- Joan Hennis of Mechanicsville had a $50 winning ticket in her hand, and she was happy about it. She went to Fas Mart at 10030 Sliding Hill Road in Hanover to cash it in. That’s when she hesitated. “Something just told me to buy another one,” she later said. So she bought a 100X the Money ticket from the Virginia Lottery and took it out to her car to scratch it. That’s when she discovered the ticket was a $1 million winner.
“I said, ‘No, this can’t be true!’” she said. “I thought it was a joke.” She called her son, Tommy, who also initially thought there had to be a mistake. “When she started crying, I knew it must be true,” he said The 100X the Money game features prizes ranging from $30 to a $10 million top prize. This is the third and final $1,000,000 prize claimed. One $10 million top prize is unclaimed in this game. The odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 2,611,200. The odds of winning any prize
in this game are 1 in 2.78. Hennis had the choice of taking the full $1 million prize over 30 years or a onetime cash option of $630,915 before taxes. She chose the cash option. The store receives a $10,000 bonus from the Virginia Lottery for selling the winning ticket. When it comes to education, the Virginia Lottery is game. Hennis lives in Hanover County, which received more than $2.8 million in lottery funds for K-12 education last fiscal year.
Northam and Piland joining in kickoff of Fill the Boot event Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND – Hanover Fire/EMS Chief Jethro Piland will take part in the Richmond Fire and Emergency Services and the Richmond Professional Fire Fighters Local #995, along with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), in hosting a special event to kick off the firefighters’ annual Fill the Boot fundraising campaign to help kids and adults with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related muscle-debilitating diseases live longer and grow stronger. Gov. Ralph Northam, has declared by proclamation, August as Fill the Boot Month in
Virginia and will read the Proclamation at the event on Monday, July 23. City of Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney also has declared by proclamation, August as Fill the Boot Month in the City of Richmond. The proclamation will be on display for spectators. The event will be held from noon to 12:30 p.m. at the James Center Plaza sat 1021 E. Cary St. in Richmond. In addition to Northam and Piland, those par-
ticipating include: Robby Bragg, president, VPFF; Chief Melvin Carter, Fire Chief, Richmond Fire and Emergency Services; Chief Edward Senter, Fire Chief, Chesterfield Fire and EMS. Deputy Chief Alec Oughton, Deputy Chief, Henrico County Division of Fire; Keith Andes, president, IAFF Local 995; Louise Zingaro, executive director, Greater Virginia MDA; Emily Withers, Fill the Boot coordinator, Greater Virginia MDA; MDA Goodwill Ambassadors; and state and local government officials. The Fill the Boot kickoff event on July 23 continues more than 60 years of firefighter tradition providing steadfast drive and uncommon caring
to help free individuals from the harm of muscle diseases that take away everyday freedoms like walking, hugging, playing and even breathing. This year’s Fill the Boot campaign officially begins Aug. 1 and runs through Sept. 3 at hundreds of locations across Greater Virginia. Thousands of firefighters will fan out across the city with boots in hand as they greet citizens asking them to make a donation in support of MDA’s mission to find treatments and cures for muscle-debilitating diseases. Funds raised through 2018 Fill the Boot events help MDA’s efforts to fund groundbreaking research and life-enhancing programs.

ECHANICSVILLE – Tasty tomatoes. Those two words pretty much sum up what you can expect at the 2018 Hanover Tomato Festival on July 14. In 1978, the Black Creek Volunteer Department launched what has become the most successful and well attended event in Mechanicsville. Funds raised support the purchase of equipment and training for members. As the BCVFD, The Mechanicsville Local and Hanover County Parks and Recreation prepare to present the 40th Annual Hanover Tomato Festival, the tradition of the Hanover Tomato being in the center tent continues. It’s a certainty that there are countless delicious dishes to serve up with the famous tomato. Let’s talk cuisine. With the Hanover Tomato, you can make fried green tomatoes, Hanover Tomato pie, a tomato po’ boy, tomato tacos, tomato burger, fried tomato chips, tomato wraps, and salsa. These are just a few ideas of what can be done with Hanover’s fabulous fruit. The following vendors will be offering tantalizing tomato treats, including: Carytown Burger & Fries – Fried Green Tomato BLT, and Burger with Hanover Tomato Salsa. Cool Concessions – Fried Green Tomatoes, BLT, Tomato Salad, and BLT Wraps.

HANOVER TOMATO FESTIVAL
Pizza Run set for Friday, July 13 By Melody Kinser Managing Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Sounds emanating from Pole Green Park on Saturday will be shrieks of fun with pizza, as well as a variety of musical tastes. This year the Hanover Tomato Festival celebrates 40 years of bringing games, vendors, food, competitions, entertainment, and, most of all, the Hanover Tomato. In 1978, the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department started the festival as a fundraiser to get monies for equip-
ment and training. The festival has grown by leaps and bounds over four decades, with a record 42,000 people filling the park in 2009. The 2018 Hanover Tomato Festival will kick off with a Tomato-Palooza from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Friday, July 13, at Pole Green Park, located at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville. Friday’s event will include The Royal We plus contests, Papa John’s 4K Pizza Run and Relay, food and other vendors. The festival officially opens at 9 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m. on Saturday,
July 14. Parks and Rec staff, volunteers and the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office w Fair-goers will be treated to performances by the Hanover Concert Band from 9 to 10 a.m., Addison Liming from 10:30 a.m. to noon, Commonwealth Bluegrass Band from 12:30 to 2 p.m., and Susan Greenbaum from 2:30 to 4 p.m. In addition to the Black Creek VFD, the festival is presented by The Mechanicsville Local and Hanover County Parks and Recreation.

40 years later the Hanover Tomato Festival is top event in The Ville By Melody Kinser Managing Editor MECHANICSVILLE – An idea that was spawned in 1978 has turned into the biggest event of the year in Mechanicsville. Seeking ways to raise funds for the fire station, the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department decided to sponsor a festival, with the star attraction being the Hanover Tomato. That fruit has brought widespread attention to the county, in addition to much-needed financial aid for the VFD. This year’s festival will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pole Green Park at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville. Forty years ago, President Larry Sutton and Fire Chief Oscar Watson spearheaded the project, with all agreeing to a small local festival at the site of the former firehouse on McClellan Road. Once the decision was made to go the route of a festival, the next question was “What will the theme be?” Black Creek VFD members were aware that the Camptown Races was being used in Ashland and the Oyster Festival in Urbanna. Unique was the next word to be considered in determining a theme. Looking around the rural community, everyone saw the fields of vegetables, especially tomatoes. Eureka -- a theme was found, with the Hanover Tomato Festival.

That first festival 40 years ago at the original fire station location featured a Fireman’s Parade and contests, including one eating tomatoes. About 300 people came to the event. Samples of dishes prepared with the famous tomatoes were brought in by local homemakers. The crowds may have been small compared to the attendance of recent years, but that didn’t quash the need to continue with the festival. In 1999, the Hanover Tomato Festival
to the day, the crowds filled the park, with a record 42,000 turning out for the 2009 event. The now-defunct Herald-Progress newspaper joined the board as a sponsor to help market the festival. In 2009, The Mechanicsville Local was added to the board. Through four decades, the Hanover Tomato Festival has become the largest single day event in Hanover County. The past few years have seen Friday evening additions, including a Pizza Run. Watson, who passed away in 2012, purchased tomatoes from Robby Dodd. Sadly, Dodd died last year, but his family did supply the tomatoes for the final time. This year, the tomatoes, still grown locally in Hanover County, are being provided by Rosa’s Gardens and Hanover Vegetable Farm. Forty years later, the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department is still involved with the Hanover Tomato Festival, as well as Hanover Parks & Rec and The Local. Proceeds from Saturday’s festival will hold to tradition by benefiting the BCVFD. Those monies go toward buying equipment and undergoing training.

moved to Battlefield Park Elementary School. Growth continued as arts and crafts vendors came to Mechanicsville to sell their wares at the festival. The festival once again became too large for that location. It also became evident that the Black Creek VFD needed some help in organizing and presenting the annual event. While it seems unthinkable now, there was even talk about no longer having the festival because of a lack of manpower. Hanover County Parks and Recreation approached the VFD about assisting with manpower and planning. The opening of Pole Green Park provided the perfect space for the ever-expanding Larry Leber of the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Tomato Festival.
