PHHS principal’s contract not renewed School leaders agree to remove Beth Smith after 13 hours of talks in two meetings

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

BETH SMITH

ASHLAND -- Following a two-hour closed session special meeting on Thursday, the Hanover County School Board voted 5-1 to remove Beth Smith from her position as principal

at Patrick Henry High School (PHHS).

Sue Dibble abstained and Ola Hawkins was not present at the meeting due to a death in her family.

Officials were tight-lipped regarding the decision following the closed session, but took the

County financial offices to start moving next week HANOVER -- Hanover County’s main financial offices are moving into a new building in the government complex.

On Wednesday, Aug. 15, the Treasurer’s Office and the Department of Internal Audit will open for business in the Chenault-Weems Building.

This is the former Circuit Court building, which the Hanover County Board of Supervisors renamed the Chenault-Weems Building on July 25.

vote to accept the recommended action in public.

The decision comes days after an 11-hour marathon session earlier in the week where a number of witnesses were called by both sides in the case.

As midnight approached on Tuesday night, board members

announced no decision had been reached.

Smith served as PHHS principal for two years, but, according to reports, was not offered a contract for the upcoming year.

State and local code prevents school system officials from discussing personnel issues, or pro-

viding details of specific cases.

Due to the immense interest in this case, Hanover County Public Schools issued a statement addressed to Patrick Henry families, faculty and staff following the decision just after 9 p.m. see PHHS, pg. 15

Train station readies for ADA project

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- With all the hoopla created by efforts to bring a third rail to Ashland last year, a project that could greatly affect the community has gone mostly unnoticed.

“The third rail thing was such an awful thing that it took all

of our attention,” said Ashland Main Street design committee chair Bob Brown. “If that issue hadn’t been here, and Amtrak started to fiddle around with our historic station, there would be a lot of noise about it.”

The Local Pick:

eon Eugene App recently received the William T. Hornaday Award for a lifetime commitment to conservation service.

His contributions have been made in paid and volunteer service to the environment and to educating tomorrow’s conservation leaders. His paid service was as a state employee of the Commonwealth of Virginia, for over 38 years, while his volunteer work was through several professional societies, as well as his 68 years of dedicated leadership in the Boy Scouts of America.

App started his formal education at the Mont Alto campus of the Pennsylvania State University in 1959.

He was an active member of Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity throughout his college years, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Forestry in 1963. The Penn State Forestry School later named him a Mont Alto Century Fellow (2004) in honor of his lengthy career and the accomplishments listed below.

Before serving his commitment to the U.S. Army, he worked as a crew leader on the U.S. Forest Service’s Ash Dieback Survey in 1963.

As green and white ash trees in New York began showing shortened stems, smaller leaves, earlier foliage loss (in the late summer instead of the fall), and the appearance of cankers, the

U.S. Forest Service began measuring trees and recording the spread of the symptoms in neighboring states.

App’s work in 1963 was primarily in land surveying and data collection on ash trees. This work helped lead to the conclusion that the problem existed well beyond New York, and

He was a county forester with the Virginia Division of Forestry from 1966 to 1972.

During this time, he was responsible for forest protection in Chesterfield, Henrico, James City, York, New Kent and Charles City counties. As such, he regularly interacted with and developed partnerships with hundreds of land-

rather throughout the entire Northeast.

App then served in the U.S. Army as a specialist and battalion clerk while stationed at Fort Knox. He left active duty and was honorably discharged in 1966.

From there, he embarked on his 38-year career with the Commonwealth of Virginia, leading various natural resource fields, beginning as a county forester in the Division (later Department) of Forestry in 1966 and retiring as deputy director of the Department of Conservation and Recreation in 2004.

owners.

He was appointed forester planner in 1972 by the Virginia state forester. He and another colleague appointed to that position were the first two to be appointed nationally.

U.S. Forest Service funding allowed technical forestry expertise and forest resource data to be made available to Virginia’s state agencies, Regional Planning District Commissions, and localities developing comprehensive plans. see APP, pg. 4

App’s trailblazing leadership became the model, nationwide, as other states followed Virginia’s example.

At the local level, he led outreach programs in schools on the value of forest lands to communities. This included the Tree Farm project, forest fire prevention, and character visits from Smokey the Bear and Woodsy Owl from 1966 to 1978.

He developed and trained others on forestry best management practices, and traveled throughout Virginia giving related programs to Society of American Foresters’ industry and landowner meetings.

The industry practices he promoted were voluntary measures adopted to main-

tain water quality during and after timber harvest; to establish wildlife travel corridors; to establish and maintain tree buffers to protect cemeteries, historic structures and sites.

These provided the maintenance of greenbelts along banks of water bodies, and other practices such as postharvest closure of skid roads to prevent soil erosion and stream degradation. These best practices allowed Virginia’s forest industry to operate within the Clean Water Act and other Federal laws.

He wrote and developed methodologies on the protection and establishment of trees and tree canopies in urban areas and during construction, from 1972 to 1976.

He created a program and gave frequent presentations on

He organized and led a tree inventory survey for the Town of Ashland, Virginia, from 1975 to 1976.

Control Law and various other field manuals and regulations.

In 1978, App was promoted out of the Division of Forestry to the Department of Conservation and Economic Development (later the Department of Conservation and Recreation), and began work as program manager. Along with Forestry (prior to its emergence as an independent department), his new billet positioned him to take an active role in leadership and coordination of the department’s other divisions: Soil and Water Conservation, Mine Land Reclamation, State Parks, Landmarks Commission (before it emerged as the Department of Historic Resources), and the Natural Heritage Program.

He coordinated and led Virginia to be the first fully approved state program for mine land reclamation under the Federal Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1979.

This work, carried out from Aug. 3, 1979, to Dec. 31, 1984, allowed the Commonwealth of Virginia to maintain the economic viability of the Virginia coal industry under the laws of Virginia and in conformance with Federal law. The program approval on Dec. 31,

1983, eliminated the threat of Federal takeover of Virginia’s regulatory authority over its coal industry.

Through his leadership, Virginia was the first state in the nation to bring all coal mining operations completely under state and federal permanent program permits.

App led Virginia to be the first fully approved program in the country that was compliant with the Abandoned Mined Land Reclamation Program.

His work allowed Virginia to receive the full amount of federal funds available to the state for rehabilitation of former abandoned coal mining sites, re-establish water supplies, and eliminate the threat of earth slide to populated areas in Virginia’s coal fields.

Virginia’s Abandoned Mine Lands Program became the model state program utilized by other states to develop their submissions.

Appointed by Gov. John Dalton in 1979 and 1980, App led the effort to attract the Boy Scout National Jamboree to Virginia. Through his coordination with state and federal agencies, he successfully identified Fort A.P. Hill, in Caroline County, as the home site of

eight straight National Scout Jamborees from 1981 to 2010.

He coordinated and led Virginia’s programs for six years during the national Take Pride in America campaign, during the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush Administrations.

App served on the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s National Take Pride in America Advisory Committee for those six years.

As a result of his work and leadership, Virginia’s related volunteer programs won more national awards than any other state during that period.

He coordinated the Department of Conservation and Recreation’s (DCR) actions, which resulted in the establishment of the Virginia Natural Heritage Program in 1989, in cooperation and partnership with The Nature Conservancy.

His work led the transition to a fully state-funded program as the DCR Division of Natural Heritage. He interviewed and hired the original staff.

In 1994, the Nature Conservancy recognized this program as the “Best in the Western Hemisphere.”

The Virginia Natural Heritage Program reviews over 1,600 construction projects per year for natural heritage resources and provides advice on how to avoid sensitive habitats.

Land conservation acquisition resulted in over 35,000 acres of land placed under permanent protection by the time of his 2004 retirement, as part of the Natural Areas Preserve System. This work has led to the present permanent protection of 63 sites and 56,285 acres, and two additional awards as the “Best in the Western Hemisphere.”

His expertise and influence was well-known by members of the Virginia General Assembly for all conservationrelated legislation between see APP, pg. 8

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor

Vanity and realizing aging requires more products

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor On July 25, I reached what I consider to be a milestone in the aging process: I celebrated my 62nd birthday. To some, that may not seem so significant, but, to me, it opened the door to start planning for retirement.

No, I won’t be departing any time soon, but the Social Security Administration and I have finally agreed on a date. It is gratifying to know that I’ve been employed for 43 years and certainly feel that I’ve paid my dues for that monthly check in a few years.

Anyway, 62 also provided a reality check in terms if what is involved in preparing to be seen “out in the world.” A process that used to take about 10 minutes has expanded to 20 or 30.

I’ve reached the point where I may need a check-off list before heading out the door to work.

About a year ago, concealer became a mandatory addition to my cosmetic case, which now won’t even close due to the increase in products.

My affinity for makeup goes back to my childhood when Mom would give me the small lipstick samples from her Avon lady.

Even though I spent a lot of time with the neighborhood boys playing whiffle ball, 10 can alley, volleyball and basketball, I always had a fascination with makeup. Now its use has taken on a necessary role.

As I sit here typing, I’m somewhat impeded by way too long acrylic nails (this falls under the “What Was I Thinking?” category). By the

time you read this, they will be either considerably shorter or gone.

Another aspect of aging has been the locked-in hair appointment. (What gray?)

Without question, I am my mother’s daughter. Few are convinced upon meeting her that she is almost 88 years old. We’ve always attributed it to good genes from her paternal grandmother.

Although I used the word vanity in the headline, I prefer to think I’m concerned about preservation.

I will confess, though, that there are times during the weekend when I may be seen running errands wearing glasses (instead of contacts) with no makeup on in my attempt to hide aging. I’ve also been known to pick up carry-out dinner while wearing my favorite

Ugg house slippers.

Sometimes I remember being in a twovehicle accident in my hometown. What an image: I had on a jogging suit and my hair was in curlers. I knew the city cop who responded to the scene.

No citations were issued related to the mishap, but I should have been ticketed for looking scary out in public.

One more thought in this I-just-returnedfrom-vacation column: I observed my 10-year anniversary with Richmond Suburban News on July 14.

Thank you for being so welcoming.

Mechanicsville is home and everyone has been so gracious in this memorable decade.

It is definitely a pleasure being part of Hanover County.

Krispy Kreme promotion drew crowds of doughnut devotees

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Friday, July 27, hours before the sun made its first appearance in a week, cars began lining up on Broad Street near Willow Lawn.

Now, the smell of hot doughnuts at Staples Mill and Broad Streets is not an unusual occurrence. It’s something that’s permeated the air and issued a tantalizing invitation

to anyone within smelling distance of that corner for decades.

For the life of me, I could not understand why an increasingly long line formed on Broad Street waiting to enter Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. There’s always a brisk business at the location every morning, but this seemed unusual and out of the norm even by Krispy Kreme standards.

Now, I was still trying to figure out what I was doing up at this early hour. I had an excuse and was headed out to perform everyone’s favorite errand, servicing your automobile.

I was grabbing an egg biscuit for the long trip to the dealership for what is never a pleasant couple of hours sitting in a lobby that reminds me that my car is not new.

And now the line of cars was as far as the eye could see looking like a caravan of chariots lined up for battle.

As evening approached, I was again in that area and noticed the line of cars still extended a fair distance down the street and the lobby was packed.

I had since discovered what was causing the chaos. Krispy Kreme

Honestly, the recent Build a Bear stampede didn’t interest me, but the crowd of folks that jammed the lobby at Krispy Kreme did get my attention.

I’m sure that I am not the only Richmonder who has a long relationship with the outlet on Broad Street.

When I had my first morning paper route as a preteen, my final stop was always Krispy Kreme. The doughnuts were always hot, served by little ladies with starched white aprons.

1978 through his 2004 retirement and for many years afterwards.

He was instrumental in the initial drafting and review of proposed legislation and bills, testimony to General Assembly committees, and passage of over 100 separate pieces of legislation.

He led departmental legislative coordination and contributed to the development and review of virtually every major piece of conservation-related

legislation with Virginia’s Secretary of Natural Resources and the Governor’s Policy Office from 1978 to 2004.

The volume of significant legislation requiring his review and input ranged from 30 to 100 bills, annually.

Gerald Baliles’ Efficiency on Government Commission, the Commission on the Future of Virginia’s Environment, the Uranium Mining Technical Advisory Committee, and many others. He also served as staff on many departmental boards.

As a member of the Uranium Technical Advisory Committee, he reviewed the various studies which provided the potential impacts of probable run-off from uranium mining. This also included information on the likelihood of permanent contamination of the Kerr Reservoir, which supplies drinking water to multiple localitiles in Virginia and is otherwise used for recreation in both Virginia and North Carolina. The result was passage of the so-called “Uranium Mining Moratorium” (Code of Virginia 45.1-273) in 1985, which remains in effect.

He is recognized professionally as one of the most knowledgeable Virginians on land conservation in general, particularly regarding land use tax assessment, open space easements, conservation easements, and related purchase of development rights programs.

His work resulted in over 100 Virginia localities’ participation in the open class option in the land use tax program.

He coordinated the state’s response, representing the Department of Conservation and Recreation on the State Land Evaluation Assessment Committee and his service resulted in the establishment of much-needed benchmarks in recommended tax values that remained stable, reliable and equitable for localities across the Commonwealth.

He is an associate member of the Virginia Association of Assessing Officers.

He led the Department of Conservation and Recreation in the development and legislative proposal that led to both the Virginia 1992 and 2002 General Obligation Bonds and Virginia Public Building

Authority Bond Acts for State Parks and Natural Areas.

Over $225 million was made available for acquisition and development through these four public bonds. As a result, Virginia was able to acquire eight new state parks and identify and set aside 19 protected natural areas, while also funding 279 facility improvement projects within Virginia’s State Park System. Though ranked last, nationally, in terms of park funding, the Virginia State Parks System was named “Best Managed State Park System” in the nation in 2001.

App contributed 30 of the original entries in the Virginia Forestry Association’s 1970 Social Register of Trees, and his work formed the foundation of its lists of historic trees and champion trees in Virginia.

App also led the American Forestry Association’s (since 1992, “American Forests”) first efforts in Virginia to identify and record its “notable and historic trees” and to identify Virginia’s 20 largest trees by species as contributions to its original 1976 publication, Famous and Historic Trees, co-authored by Charles Edgar Randall and Henry Clepper.

These references are continuously updated and remain popular, today.

During the 1970s, he worked with the Maymont Foundation to survey and record every species of tree on the 100-acre Maymont estate (and City Park) in Richmond, Virginia. For the next decade, he led exotic tree tours of the property as a forestry expert and park volunteer. The organization, a public private partnership, remains one of the top 10 public spaces in America according to the American Planning Association.

App is a Gold Helmet member of the Society of American Foresters (for 50 years as a registered member) and Society of Urban Foresters, and is a life member of the American Forestry

Association/American Forests.

He also is a member of and/or philanthropic donor to a number of conservation organizations, including: The Chesapeake Bay Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, World Wildlife Fund, National Audubon Society, International Society of Arborculture, National Arbor Day Foundation, Virginia Forestry Association, Virginia Urban Forestry Council, National Park Foundation, National Parks Conservation Association, and the Virginia Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.

In retirement, App remains active as a volunteer member of the Henricopolis Soil and Water Conservation Board.

In 2016, he was awarded the E.C. Compton Associate Director Award by the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts for his many years of leadership and expertise.

As an active member of the Boy Scouting movement since 1949, App advanced through every level as a youth member and has led Scouts and Scouters in every level and on the district committee as an adult leader ever since his 18th birthday in 1959.

App remains an active merit badge counselor, having counseled Scouts earning Environmental Science, Forestry, Pulp and Paper, Soil & Water and Landscape Architecture merit badges, for four decades.

As an active adult leader, App led forestry and basic botany education programs for WEBELOS and Scout camporees, Klondike Derbies, Scout camp, and Adult Leader Training sessions for the Heart of Virginia Council over several decades.

He was an active and contributing member of the Heart of Virginia Council’s committee to survey and study the site of the council’s scout reserva-

tions, most especially through the 1980s. During that time, the site plan of the Boy Scout reservation, Camp T. Brady Saunders, was significantly redesigned, including the installation of a lake and multiple capital improvements.

Meanwhile, the adjacent Cub Adventure Camp, Camp Douglas Fleet, was laid out and later implemented. App’s particular contribution included surveying the property for significant species of trees and the health of larges stands of trees near the new lake. He submitted reports in 1983 and 1986 as part of the master site plan that remains in use today. His lasting legacy is that the two sites continue to feature excellent natural areas set aside to maximize the learning environment for Scouts.

He served as an Explorer Post advisor from 1967 to 1969, Cubmaster, 1976 to 1982, scouting coordinator from 1976 to 2000, District Committee member from 1980 forward, and served as the district advancement chairman from 1981 to 2003.

He was the district chairman in 1989, and served as an ex officio member of the executive governing board of the Robert E. Lee (now Heart of Virginia) Council.

Since 2004, he remains active as the Eagle Advancement Chairman for Battlefield District. In those roles, he has approved Eagle Scout projects, advised Scouts, and organized district boards of review for over 1,100 Eagle Scouts. This body of work – related to assisting boys earn the rank of Eagle Scout – is what he considers his greatest contribution to the Scouting movement.

As a Scout, App earned the Arrow of Light (1952), Eagle Scout (1956), Explorer Silver Award (1957), and Pro Deo et Patria (1959), and was a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow. see APP, pg. 20

ECHANICSVILLE -- Atlee Church will host a “Night to Unite” gathering to pray for the school community at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 22, at 7171 Verdi Lane in Mechanicsville.

The event is open to the

entire community and church leaders said they hope the invitation will be accepted.

“One of the most important things we can do for our children is pray,” Pastor Jeff Boggess said. “Yet, sometimes, we forget to do it as consistently as we should. As our children head back to school this year, now is a great time to come together as a com-

munity to pray for their wellbeing.”

The night of prayer is for students, teachers, parents, administrators, support staff and community leaders.

Prayer will be offered for children who will be homeschooled, attend public school, or receive a private education.

The Cold Harbor Ruritan Club is challenging all other sister clubs in Hanover County to match its donation of $100 worth of school supplies.

The Hanover Youth Service Council is coordinating a county-wide school supply drive to benefit Hanover’s elementary, middle and high school students in need. Cold Harbor Ruritan members extended their thanks to fellow member Don Ward for bringing the need to the club and making it a reality. Norman Griffin also was thanked for shopping for the best deals.

Thursday.

“We are writing to inform you that Beth Smith is no longer employed by Hanover County Public Schools (HCPS) and will no longer serve as the principal of Patrick Henry High School (PHHS),” the email stated.

Several speakers spoke in favor of retaining Smith at last month’s school board meeting, and many comments, both positive and negative, regarding her tenure have been received at the central office in Ashland.

Other parents and stakeholders had expressed concern that the system was not keeping parents and students informed of the decision. The letter, signed by superintendent Michael Gill and school board chair Bob Hundley, addressed that very issue.

“We understand that this news may be concerning, but we wanted to communicate with you as soon as we were permitted to do so by policy

to help eliminate any further uncertainty in the community about her role and the future of PHHS.” The lack of public information regarding the action also also addressed in the letter.

“Regrettably, this has caused a lot of speculation, misinformation, and frustration in the community. Nevertheless, we want to assure you that we make decisions based upon facts, policy, and, most importantly, what we believe is in the best interest of students.”

The search for an interim principal begins immediately, and filling that position temporarily allows officials time to conduct a comprehensive search for a replacement.

“In the meantime, we will work as quickly as possible to identify and hire a well-qualified and experienced interim principal before the start of the upcoming school year. This will allow us the necessary time to conduct a thorough search for a permanent principal.”

That process will involve

the input of stakeholders, parents and students.

“During this process, there will be several opportunities for you to provide input on the qualities and characteristics you want us to consider in a new principal. We are committed to hiring the best candidate, and we genuinely encourage, want, and need your participation as we move forward.”

Officials assured parents and students that the upcoming school opening will not be affected by the change in leadership.

“As the new school year approaches, we want to reassure you that school board office administration and staff will continue to provide strong and direct support to PHHS administration, faculty, and staff to help ensure a successful start. Without question, our primary focus will be on helping every student maximize his or her potential and succeed by providing them with exceptional instruction in a

safe, supportive, and welcoming environment,” the email concluded.

of two longtime Hanover County elected officials, the late George M. Weems and Lois B. Chenault.

At the time of his death in 1985, Weems had served nearly 50 years as the county’s Treasurer. He was elected in 1935 and was re-elected 12 times.

Chenault served seven terms as Commissioner of the Revenue, and is the only woman to serve as a constitutional officer in Hanover County. She began her career in Hanover County government in 1967 and was appointed Commissioner of the Revenue in 1974. She won election six times before retiring in 1999.

Last year, all of the county’s Courts and Court-related offices moved into a new building located to the north of the Vaughan-Bradley Sheriff ’s Office building. That freed both the old Circuit Court and old General District Court buildings to be repurposed for other county offices.

Bids for the renovation of the former General District Court building will be issued this fall with the plan to award the contract next spring.

Several other county offices will be moved to that building when the renovation is complete.

“The historic station will still look the same,” Brown said.

The construction is expected to take about 12 months and train service will not be interrupted during that period. The platform on the college side of the track will require an increase in width from 4 feet to 12 to allow the handicapped lift.

That will eliminate some parking on the Randolph-Macon College side, but still allow street traffic to access the numerous parking areas located near the school.

Railroad Avenue also will remain open during the construction, allowing access to shops and businesses located near the station.

for local residents as well as passenger train riders.

In order to meet those requirements, Amtrak will rebuild the platforms that allow access to trains on both sides of the track, raising them to a level of about 18 inches from their current position.

The new platforms will be bordered by metal fences, constructed with matching bricks to the existing structure, and will be located

The increased height necessitates the required railing, and mobilized lifts will be utilized to raise wheelchair-bound riders to train level. A small storage shed will be constructed on the R-MC side to provide a storage area for the lift.

In addition to the new lifts and expanded platforms, a new ADA compliant walkway across the tracks also will be included in the project.

Brown said Amtrak met with his committee last fall and has continued communication with members and Town of Ashland officials throughout the design process.

“They (Amtrak) are very nice people and they tried hard on this project,” Brown said.

Rockville finishes sixth in 12U World Series

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local It was the longest and toughest walk of the season Friday in Jensen Beach, Florida, when the Rockville 12U Softball AllStars headed to their dugout after being eliminated by the Wilmington All-Stars of North Carolina. But the finality of the moment was overshadowed, for Rockville fans, by an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

Christi Loving, mother of team member Breanna Loving, perhaps said it best when she characterized the week at the Babe Ruth World Series as being filled with “bumps and bruises...sunburn, tears, wins and losses.” A journey long dreamed of by the team, coaches and Rockville community had finally come to pass, giving a quintessential American hamlet great pride and purpose.

“I think all of our girls really loved the experience,” said Rockville head coach Keith Winder on Sunday, just hours after returning home from Florida. “To get to play against teams from all over the country – they never thought they would play teams from California, Louisiana, or Indiana. They loved it.”

The on-field journey began with a jolt, as in the opening round, Rockville took a 5-1

lead into the bottom of the fifth inning over Mount Olive of New Jersey. The Marauders, however, exploded for six runs to take a 7-5 lead with an inning to play. Resilient Rockville plat-

ed four runs in the top of the sixth to retake the lead at 9-7.

It set the stage for a painful ending, as the Marauders took a walk-off win 10-9. It was an early pivot point for Rockville,

and Winder watched carefully as to how his team would rebound.

“It motivated them a little bit. The sixth inning proved to everyone that we came to play,” Winder said.

A 4-2 loss to Los Altos of California Tuesday set up a must-win situation against Ellensburg, Washington. Any frustration held by the girls was taken out via their offense, scoring six runs in the first inning, then seven more in the third to take a run-rule victory, 13-0. The win was just enough

for Rockville to grab the eighth and final seed into the championship bracket.

It also meant a date with the top seed in the tournament to that point, the East Side AllStars of South Bend, Indiana.

Though they knew they were in a double elimination bracket, Rockville played as if there was no room for error.

After East Side took a 1-0 lead in the second inning, Rockville plated four runs in the top of the third. Brookelynne Winterson had two RBI on a double to lead the charge, then

Madeline Winder took control in the circle, throwing 25 strikes in 35 pitches, allowing just a run in the fifth, as Rockville held on to shock the top seed 4-3, and prove they would not be an easy out.

“I scouted [East Side] the afternoon before we played them and saw that all the pitchers used their changeup,” Winder said. “So we really talked about waiting on their pitches, and when we finally got the ones we wanted, we took

Weather drowns Post 175’s state title dreams

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Even though Mechanicsville Post 175 began a game Friday, the team’s American Legion Virginia state championship campaign effectively ended Wednesday.

The weather, which forced the cancellation of the loser’s bracket in the District 11 tournament – which Mechanicsville won – the previous week, repeated its interference with the state tournament which was held in Winchester last week.

Unfortunately for Post 175, it ran into a scrappy Kilmarnock Post 86 team Wednesday. Kilmarnock scored five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to break a 6-6 tie and claim an 11-6 victory to send Mechanicsville into the loser’s bracket.

Heavy and persistent rain made conditions at the state tournament’s primary field – James Wood High School in Winchester – challenging.

Being cooped up in hotels awaiting a chance to play also took a toll on participants.

“It was a messy week down there,” said Post 175 manager Brandon Powers. “We knew going into the tournament that weather was a problem and we don’t want to be in the loser’s bracket. We ended up finding our way there.”

Tournament officials tried to keep the tournament going by using a backup site and a compressed timeline. Friday night, Post 175 was playing host to Lynchburg Post 16 at a Jim Barnett Park while the winner’s bracket game was being played at James Wood High School.

In the second inning, the managers of the Mechanicsville and Lynchburg teams were informed that another band

Weather thwarted Mechanicsville Post 175’s state tournament campaign, which ended prematurely Friday, but the team can still celebrate a successful season.

of rain had rendered the field at James Wood unplayable; the loser’s bracket was being canceled so that the winner’s bracket teams could use the secondary field at the park.

The teams were given a choice: stop now or finish the game they had started.

Powers and the Post 16 manager opted to finish, Powers using the time to make sure all his players had one last chance to play Legion baseball.

“I didn’t tell my players that, but the coaching staff knew,” Powers said. “We were trying to get as many people in – it was going to be their last Legion experience.

Unfortunately, with Post 175 trailing 7-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning, the team got just one pitch: which was fouled

by Mechanicsville slugger Zack Beach. The rain started again and Post 175’s season finished unfinished as the team’s final game didn’t last long enough to

be registered as complete.

“We knew we were going home at that point,” Powers said. “Then the skies opened up.”

Powers said the field conditions made it tough on a defense which had made played mostly error-free ball throughout the regular season and district tournament.

“The field conditions were rough,” he said. “The first day we get there, the field was underwater. We were shocked we were able to play. I think we made four errors, when we hadn’t made more than two errors in a game. … But everyone had to play on them.”

Other teams struggled with errors, too. While Post 175 won its state opener Tuesday with a 15-9 win over Leesburg Post 34 – despite five errors – it had just three errors to four for Kilmarnock in its loss Wednesday.

Strike zones did not help

any team.

“We had some tight strike zones with the umpires,” Powers said. “They were good strike zones, but they were tight. We walked more than we had all year. That’s coming into play with the wet ball and everything.”

All the factors combined to create an atypical performance

by Post 175.

“We usually played solid defense and threw strikes all year, and it was uncharacteristic of us to kick the ball around a little bit,” Powers said. “We were playing in the rain and it was a tough situation.”

Despite the disappointing outcome, it was a good year for the team.

“I’m proud of the guys and how they played – and our style of play,” Powers said. “It’s fun baseball. It’s fun summer ball. It’s positivity around Post 175. Everyone knew about us at that tournament. Everyone

knew. They heard that we were a machine. The offense was a machine that could hit. We played good defense, had good pitching. It was nice to know

that people recognized us from the season we had this year.

advantage of it.”

The victory would, however, prove to be the apex of Rockville’s Babe Ruth experience. Later on Thursday, they had no answer for eventual World Series champion Patterson, Louisiana, who breezed to a 14-0 victory to

send Rockville into the elimination bracket Friday morning.

Rockville would experience no bounce back. Wilmington scored two runs in the second, four in the third, then ended the game, and Rockville’s season, with five runs in the fourth for an 11-1 victory.

“I really think we ran out of steam. After the East Side win we knew, going into the afternoon, if we win again, we’re in

the final four no matter what,” Winder said. “But the heat really got to the girls. That Florida really took its toll.”

With a softball complex surrounded by water with few trees and a hot Florida sun baking the fields, you end up with not just a softball tournament, but an endurance test. But there is nothing wrong with falling to teams which outperform

you, and despite not getting the result they wanted overall at the World Series, the girls left with not just an experience never to be forgotten, but likely, for most of them, some big-time motivation.

Eight of the 12 players on the Rockville roster are eligible to return to play at the 12U level next season, a bittersweet fact for Winder, whose daughter is

one of the four who will graduate to the next level. So don’t be surprised if, come eleven months from now, Rockville is again gearing up for the opportunity to make a return trip to the Babe Ruth World Series, and, with experience in tow, make even more noise.

Meanwhile, the Rockville 9U Baseball All-Stars began

pool play in the Cal Ripken World Series, also in Jensen Beach, on Tuesday, with single games scheduled each day until Friday. Based on those performances, championship bracket play would begin on Saturday, with the World Series champion crowned on Sunday.

by the construction,” Brown said.

“The garden has to be removed to build this, but, hopefully, we can take the tree and some big bushes and store them for a year, and then bring them back.”

Even with the tweaks, Brown said the project does represent a change in the historic station’s setting, and summed up his feelings regarding the plans. “It’s not going to look good enough, but it’s going to be pretty good. Amtrak has tried to minimize the impact of the construction, but it’s still going to be a big deal.”

A garden and sitting area maintained by the Ashland Garden Club on the north side of the station will be greatly reduced to the construction of a sidewalk on that side of the tracks.

The three-day camp covered field hockey basics like how to play the game, positions and rules, plus skill development to help prepare the girls for high school team tryouts. The camp turnout was described as “fantastic and wouldn’t have been possible without the support of her coach and teammates.” Her takeaway from the experience was the satisfaction of helping others.
