The Black Creek Civic Association and Travellers Run joined with other communities throughout Mechanicsville and Hanover County in observing National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 7. In the photo above, Black Creek Estates residents welcomed Scott Wyatt, at the right in the back, the Cold Harbor District supervisor, to their event.

HANOVER -- Hanover County Board of Supervisors chairman Sean Davis recently told fellow board members he had received a number of calls from the “recovery community” offering support for the Healing Place, an in-house recovery program sponsored by CARITAS. “CARITAS is an umbrella organization that has four programs,” said executive director Karen Stanley. Those services include the Healing Place and an emergency shelter accessed by local church congregations. The organization STANLEY also operates a furniture bank and an employment program that assists people with significant barriers to employment. Founded in the early 1980s, CARITAS began the Healing Place for men in 2005 “to solve a gap we had in our homeless services system.” Stanley said more than 10,000 men have been helped by that program since it opened its doors more than a decade ago. In 2008, they obtained the furniture bank, allowing about 100 families a year to obtain the see CARITAS, pg. 18

The Local Pick:

Local woman wins $1 million in Second-Chance Promotion Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

ICHMOND -- When Andrea Stoneburner scratched her Extreme Millions ticket from the Virginia Lottery, she could see that it was not a winning ticket. However, instead of throwing the ticket away, the Mechanicsville woman entered it in the Virginia Lotteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Extreme Millions Second-Chance Promotion. That ended up being a million-dollar decision. When the drawing was held on July 3, her ticket was drawn out of more than 272,000 entries to win the million-dollar top prize. When she was informed of her of win, she said she thought it was a scam. In fact, when she told her mother about it, her mother sent her information about scams and fraud. Stoneburner, a labor and delivery registered nurse working toward her midwife certification, had the choice of taking the full $1 million prize over 30 years or a onetime cash option of $657,030

before taxes. She chose the cash option. There will be two more million-dollar prizes drawn in the Extreme Millions Second-Chance Promotion. Those drawings will be held on Nov. 6, 2018, and April 2, 2019. Players can enter their non-winning Extreme Millions ticket in order to be eligible for a chance to win. When it comes to education, the Virginia Lottery is game.

Stoneburner lives in Hanover County, which received more than $2.8 million in lottery funds for K-12 education last fiscal year. The Lottery generates more than $1.6 million per day for Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s K-12 public schools. Operating entirely on revenue from the sale of Lottery products, the Lottery generated more than $600 million for Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public schools in Fiscal Year 2018.

Buckle up: Simple action really does save lives

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor eed the warning. Electronic signs above the interstates remind motorists to buckle up -- and, yes, seat belts really do save lives. I know first-hand how a simple act can make a difference when an accident takes place. My brother-in-law was traveling to our hometown when a tire blew and flipped the small Toyota three times, landing on its roof. When residents of Kegley, a small community outside of Princeton, West Virginia, arrived at the scene, Michael was hanging upside down dangling from the seat belt. He was injured and transported by helicopter to a hospital in Roanoke, but there is no doubt that the seat belt saved his life. The bruises may have been reminders of how that lap belt prevented him from being ejected and possibly killed. Buckling up should be an automatic action as soon as you get into a vehicle. I don’t even think about it, as it’s become routine.

I once had a car that had an automatic belt that attached to the seat belt. There’s no way you can forget to buckle up when it’s halfway done for you. There’s no logical excuse not to use a seat belt. I’ve known people who said they were uncomfortable. Well, buckling up is better than the consequences of a wreck. I do appreciate the state’s efforts in reminding drivers to buckle up. I also applaud law enforcement officers who note whether someone involved in a vehicle mishap was wearing a seat belt at the time of the incident. A visit to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles website provided the following information as to why everyone is encouraged to wear seat belts during every trip. Seat belts are: m The single most effective traffic safety device for preventing death during a crash. m The best defense against

impaired, aggressive and distracted drivers. m Seat belts hold drivers and passengers in place, helping the driver maintain control during a collision. Seat belts keep the driver from pitching forward into the steering wheel, dashboard and windshield, and keep everyone from being ejected and from flying around the vehicle injuring others. The DMV site also stated that Virginia law requires all front seat occupants of motor vehicles be restrained, and any passenger from birth to 18 years old be properly restrained in an appropriate child safety seat or seat belt, no matter their seating position. Virginia law also requires that rearfacing child safety seats be placed in the back seat of a vehicle. Another segment on the website was titled “Busting Myths”. Myth 1: You are safe in the back seat without a belt. Wrong! Among rear seat occupants, seat belt use can reduce the

risk for death by 60%. Myth 2: Buckled drivers are safe even if their passengers are not wearing belts. Wrong! Multiple studies show the increased risk of death for those wearing seat belts when people in the back seat are not. One study by the Centers for Disease Control showed that the odds of driver death more than doubled in fatal frontal crashes when there were unrestrained rear-seat passengers. Myth 3: Larger vehicles, such as pickup trucks, will protect you in crashes if you aren’t buckled. Wrong! The research shows the opposite -- that there are more unrestrained pickup truck deaths versus unrestrained car deaths. Myth 4: Crash exposure is lower in rural areas because of less traffic. Wrong! More crashes, and more unbelted fatal crashes, occur in rural versus urban locations. Myth 5: Airbags replace seat belts. Wrong! Airbags may further reduce the risk of death or injury when used in conjunction with a seat belt. Bottom line: Buckle up! The life you save may be your own.

Citizens urged to attend meeting on Lake District At the Aug. 16 Planning Commission meeting, Marchetti Properties will present its proposal for “The Lake District at Glen Allen,” a gargantuan 323-acre mixed use development located on Mountain Road (U.S. 33) at the Henrico line in the South Anna District. Citizens need to show up and pay attention. By the numbers, this mixed use community will feature a build-out of 2,820 residential units; a minimum 313,140 square feet of retail and office space and various recreational amenities situated around an existing 16-acre lake. The residential metrics break down to 1,588 multi-family units, 1,103 townhouses and 129 single-family detached units. Residential density is 8.7 units per acre. This mammoth proposal will require mammoth tailoring to achieve something on a reasonable scale. That assumes that the citizens even want such a development. At a community meeting held by Marchetti Properties on April 9, citizens identified concerns over traffic, already impacted by the Tyson’s plant; school capacity; light pollution and success of the commercial area. Additionally, county departments have pointed out the probable need for a new elementary school; a possible new fire station and sewer improvements at build-out. These all come with whopping big price tags. How will these and other infrastructure improvements be funded? Serious challenges loom. Citizens should be asking pointed questions now of their Planning Commissioners, supervisors and county officials. Pattie P. Bland Hanover

Sights, sounds and smells that create a significant appreciation By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I stood in the checkout line of my local grocery store and waited my turn as a fully middle-aged couple completed their transaction. “Wow, this cake looks good,” the clerk smiled. “It’s for my husband. It’s his birthday today,” she replied. The clerk proclaimed her birthday wishes as the man continued to place his groceries in the bags. “Another day older and deeper in debt,” joked the man as he completed the task. No, some wouldn’t have known to what his comment referred, but my father was a Tennessee Ernie Ford fan and one of the few 45 rpm records we owned was “16 Tons.” I

immediately recognized the line from the lyrics. I thought about that man as I celebrated my 68th birthday on Aug. 5. I suppose his one-sentence quip could apply to many of us, but it’s not what I’m thinking about as I approach seven decades on this wonderful planet. The foremost thought in my mind as another year passes is how we increasingly appreciate the little things in life as we get older. Following that reasonable progression, I also questioned why those seemingly simple things don’t matter as much, or, in some cases, at all in younger years. I thought about all of this as I sat beside a large box of cantaloupes that sat near the entrance of a small neighbor-

hood market I frequently visit. When I returned to the car, I got one complete and glorious whiff of that odor that can only be described as heavenly. And that one aroma brought back so many memories of summer vacations, family reunions, beach getaways and early mornings at the breakfast table with that same smell permeating our small kitchen. I sat there for more than a minute, windows fully open in order to get the full affect of nature’s aromatherapy. The next morning I awoke to the sound of a distant lawn mower of some homeowner getting an early jump on a week of rain-infused grass. Again, the sound prompted memories of hot summer

The town also is studying the possibility of allowing the local YMCA to run the town pool for the upcoming season. “I really want to do the legwork first and see if this is something that the community is interested in and then proceed to the point where we present a plan of how it could happen,” Farrar said.

DANA NELSON by the BikeMS team Team Nelson. Inspired by Dana Nelson, who battled primary progressive Multiple Sclerosis for 20 years, family and friends joined together to form the Bike MS Team Nelson cycling team in 2014. Led by Danaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughters, Heather Nelson and Stephanie Russell, Team Nelson has cycled a combined 7,350 miles in Bike MS fundraising rides

So I know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making a difference.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Registration is now open and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thrilled with the outpouring of support weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re receiving from local sponsors, prize donors and players,â&#x20AC;? said event organizer Heather Nelson. Sponsors committed to date include Capital Interior Contractors, South State Bank and The Goddard SchoolAshland. All proceeds from the 18 To End MS tournament will go directly to the National MS Society to fund groundbreaking research and life-changing programs.

Those in need of shelter now utilize rotating churches. “It’s very difficult to move week to week, and it makes it very difficult when you are trying to help someone stabilize.” Last year, the furniture bank assisted 16 Hanover families and served 32 county residents in the Healing Place. A new program will provide similar services for women.

‘Circle the Wagons’ event to benefit local nonprofit Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND -- The second annual “Circle the Wagons” BBQ Cook-Off and Concert will be held from noon to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25, at Center of the Universe Brewing Company to benefit Circles Ashland. The event is being presented free of charge and will feature food from vendors Saucy’s Barbecue, Jake’s Place, GPE BBQ Mobile Kitchen, The UFO Truck, and Freekin’

In 2016, more than 64,000 Americans died from drugrelated causes, more than the 58,000 soldiers who lost their lives in the Vietnam War, according to Stanley. “This is a major issue and that’s why it is getting so much attention,” Stanley said. “This is a great time for us to be working on a new project.” The agency has obtained a 420,000-square-foot warehouse near Maury Street in the Southside that will house all of the services under one roof, a huge advantage for its clients. “Our vision and our dream is to create an innovative national best-practice model of incorporating all the solutions for treating homelessness and addiction under one roof,” Stanley told the supervisors last month. “This will allow us to have a Healing Place for Women and consolidate all of the CARITAS programs other than the Healing Place for Men,” Stanley said. “We’ll be able to have a total sober living community under one roof.” The new women’s facility will provide about 100 beds for clients.

Rican-Puerto Rican Food Carts and Catering. Live musical entertainment will be performed by Bluegrass Commonwealth Band and Undercover Bandwagon. There also will be a silent auction, raffle, and kids’ activities. Circles Ashland is a local nonprofit offering relationship-based, communitydriven initiatives that inspire, inform, and equip individuals, families and community to resolve poverty and thrive. To learn more about Circles Ashland, go to circlesashland-va.org.

The cost of the project is about $24 million, with more than $12.7 million of the $14 million required already raised. The remaining funds are derived from tax credits. Stanley said the agency hopes to begin construction on the project in 30 to 40 days. “We would love to have Hanover County’s help,” Stanley said, noting that Henrico Chesterfield and the City of Richmond are already committed to the project. “We’re hoping there is a way that Hanover County can be involved in investing in this project,” she added. Michael Carter has a painfully close relationship with the services associated with CARITAS. He and his wife lost their son to an overdose three years ago. Prior to his relapse, Graham had spent a year at the Healing Place and continued a relationship for the following year. “The Healing Place gave our son back to us, albeit for only two years, but it was a wonderful time and we cherish those memories,” Carter said. “I want that opportunity to be available to other people.”

Youth movement takes over area golf teams By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor

Rathbone paces PH to victory

MECHANICSVILLE – Area high school golf teams wasted no time taking back to their respective golf courses in August, but this year begins with a good but of uncertainty. Graduation took its toll on local schools’ rosters; in some cases, the toll was pretty high. Still, all local teams return key players – most notably defending King William’s defending Virginia High School League Class 2 state champion Taylor Hubbard – and, if those key players can get the support they need from improving teammates by the end of September, several local team should be able to mount credible postseason runs. Hanover The Hawks, with six seniors on the roster, may at first glance look to be the most experienced team in Hanover County, but few of them – mainly Christian Dyer, who appeared in the VHSL Group 4 state tournament as a freshman, and Robert Patina, a mainstay of the Hawks’ top six over the previous years – return with a significant amount of experience. Much of the Hawks’ punch will come from its sophomore class: Andrew Wilkinson, younger brother of Ward Wilkinson, who finished run-

but a tremendous amount of poise that has already proven to be an asset for him and the team in pressure situations. “He’s doing an phenomenal job,” Hoy said. “He’s one of those guys who gathers the respect of the other players, not just because he’s the best player,

but because of the way he carries himself. He’s positive. He doesn’t lose his cool when it doesn’t go right. “I think just from last year to this year he’s taken big steps with that. … Some kids you can see they wear their emotions on their sleeve. You don’t

see that with Andrew. He can have a bad hole and then come right back and pound the next one down the fairway onto the green and hit the next putt.” Dyer and Patina will scrap for the second position, and

MANQUIN – Patrick Henry’s top showed up ready to play, with the Patriots No. 1, Jessica Rathbone, hitting from the same teams as the boys and outscoring the lot in Patrick Henry’s 171-190 win over host Lee-Davis at Queenfield Golf Club Thursday. Ratbhbone posted a 2-over-par 38, three strokes better than her teammate, No. 2 Miles Krishnamurthy, to claim medalist honors on Queenfield’s front nine. Lee-Davis was led by Landon Watkins with a 44 to take third place. Rathbone said she feels better now than she did at the start of the season last year. Her win in the Region 4B championship with a 1-over 73 at Mattaponi Springs and her 10th-place finish as a sophomore see RATHBONE, pg. 28

see YOUTH, pg. 27

YOUTH Continued from pg. 26

Bond and Yager will likewise compete for the fourth position. Seniors Will Fahed and William Lipscomb – both relative newcomers to golf – will compete for the sixth spot in the rotation. Hanover will field a large girls contingent and Hoy hopes one or more of them will advance to play at the VHSL Girls Open in October. Patrick Henry The Patriots were cleaned out of seniors last year, losing have their team to graduation. This year’s squad is young – not a senior among its nine members. The eldest players are three juniors: Jessica Rathbone, Miles Krishnamurthy and Colin Baught – and two of them, Rathbone and Krishnamurthy, will take the top two spots in Patrick Henry’s order. “We have a bunch that are pretty close right after them,” said Patriot head golf coach Dave Hudak. “I told them it really doesn’t matter how we do in the matches. If we get a couple of people who improve enough by the end of September, we

as Rockville, once down 11-5, scored eight runs in the fifth inning, then held on for a 13-12 win over Perry County of Pennsylvania last Tuesday. John Fournier struck out Kane Kimmel with the bases loaded to preserve the win. Wednesday’s second pool play game was much easier on the nerves, as Rockville bested Palm Beach Gardens of Florida 7-2. Collin Felts went 4-for-4 in the victory, scoring twice and stealing two bases, while Savannah Martin went 2-for-3, also scoring a pair of runs to

could be decent.” Point of fact, Rathbone and Krishnamurthy already are. Rathbone, hitting from the same tees as the boys in their first match – against Lee-Davis at Queenfield Thursday – carded a 2-over 38 to claim medalist honors. Krishnamurthy posted a 41 for second-lowest score of the day. Their teammate, Daniel Ailor – younger brother of former team leader Rory Ailor, who graduated last year – scored a 45 to finish fourth overall. Still, improvement is key, even for Rathbone, who would like to improve upon her 10thplace finish at the VHSL Girls Open in October. But, despite their youth, the Patriots have strong leaders in Rathbone, Krishnamurthy and Baught, and that should help the squad mature. “If this was football team with no seniors, you’d go like, ‘Gosh, where’s the leadership going to come from,’ ” Hudak said. “Golf is different. … It’s such an individual sport even though it’s a team concept. The good part is the three juniors have been around. It’s their third year, so they can help the five freshmen.”

Lee-Davis The balance of the Confederates’ team is tipped toward seniors and juniors, but many of them haven’t had a lot of experience playing golf. But for those with less experience, the goal is to improve steadily throughout the season and make some noise at the end. “Roster-wise, we’re senior heavy, but match-wise, we’re young because not a lot of our guys have participated in matches in the past,” said LeeDavis head golf coach Tyler Johnson. “Our top guys will match up well with other schools’ top guys later on in the season. The more experience they get, the better they’ll be.” Lee-Davis will be led by senior Landon Watkins, who was the Confederates’ leading scorer in the match against Patrick Henry. Johnson expects a battle for the No. 2 spot. “There are three or four guys who can play our two spot. We’ve got Tanner Mahoney, Erik Hoare, Bradley Dillard and Drew Gilbert,” Johnson said. “They’ve been on the team but haven’t had much match experience. Those guys will probably round up our top

go with an RBI and stolen base. In Thursday’s game, Johnson felt that his team let one slip away, as Phenix City of Alabama scored seven runs in the second inning, eventually taking an 11-1 victory, which set up a final pool play game against the only unbeaten team left, the Southwest Athletics team from Clemmons, North Carolina, who had defeated Rockville in July for the Southeast Region Championship. After two innings, Rockville held a 6-2 lead, then added four runs in the third, seemingly cruising to

victory. Back came Southwest Athletics, scoring six runs in the fourth, then, in the top of the sixth, they struck for five runs to take a 13-12 lead. Their backs against the wall, Rockville rallied, as Fournier singled home Connor Papas, then Hudson Toone hit the game-winner, a single to plate Felts, for an exhilarating 14-13 win to give Rockville, Southwest, and Phenix City all 3-1 records. Rockville earned the second seed in the championship bracket, and all focus shifted to Saturday.

The day began with a rematch with Perry County, and a comfortable 10-0 win, setting up yet another battle with Southwest in the semifinals. After falling behind early, Rockville scored three runs in the bottom of the third to tie the game at four. Then, after being no factor all week long, Mother Nature made a difference. With a runner at third, rain began to fall, and thus, the wait. Eventually, the game was suspended, rescheduled to see ROCKVILLE, pg. 28

They walked past a sign on which read the names of current and former Major League Baseball players who once, as a youth, took to baseball diamonds much like the one back home in Rockville. But the fields that the 9U All-Stars competed on this past week were much different, not in dimensions, but in importance. On their version of the game’s biggest stage, the Cal Ripken 9U World Series in

Jensen Beach, Florida, Rockville head coach Afton Johnson offered his young men, and woman, a word of advice during a week filled with highs and lows, close calls and near misses. “I told them, y’all pause for a second and soak all this in,” Johnson recalled when asked by phone Sunday night en route from Florida. “Yes, you’re playing baseball, I said, but this is a pretty neat deal.” The first game of that experience certainly foreshadowed the week that was to unfold,

resume Sunday morning. Without offering excuses, Johnson felt it made a difference. “We had the momentum really going our way in the game when the rain started, and that kind of stung a little bit,” Johnson explained. “We were getting cranked up. Coming back [Sunday] was kind of tough because they were

been working at it,” Blanton said. “He’s been working on his short game, on his putting. He seems to think that he’s losing a lot of strokes – he’s missing more putts than he wants to miss. He wants to be more consistent from that 10- to 15-foot range. He’s going to be

able to reset with some pitchers because pitch counts were erased. It made it difficult, but we gave them a good run.” For a time, Rockville picked up where they left off Sunday morning, finishing with six third-inning runs for a 7-4 lead. But Southwest scored a run in the fourth, then two in the fifth to tie the game. Both teams failed to plate the winning run in the sixth, forcing extra innings, where Southwest scored three times to take the 10-7 victory.

just fine.” Hubbard has only one teammate older than he is, senior Brandon Silva, and one other player with varsity experience, sophomore Arria Grande. The other two varsity golfers are both freshmen. Blanton said Hubbard is not unduly affected by pressure to repeat his performance from last season. “He just comes across as

Southwest, who could certainly be considered Rockville’s top rival, from a neighboring state, from their same region, a team who, in the end, found a way to survive and advance against a group Johnson watched grow up in front of his eyes in five baseball-filled, drama-packed days. “Southwest, they’re a great group of kids, a lot of fun to play,” Johnson exclaimed. “Great sportsmanship on their end, which was a delight.” Rockville won four of their seven games, made the World Series semifinals, and were just six defensive outs away from one of those kids who came out the championship game. All and did what he was trying to do last year and now it is a new season and now he has another goal. His next goal is trying to repeat,” Blanton said. “I’m sure that there’s probably a little pressure on him, but the one thing about him is … he always seems to respond to pressure.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com. It stung, as Rockville was so close to reaching the championship game, instead having to turn around quickly and play for third place against Palm Beach Gardens. Once ahead 4-2, Palm Beach finally found its offensive groove in their second battle with Rockville, scoring five runs in the top of the sixth inning to take third place overall with a 9-5 victory to end the tournament. Phenix City won the championship game over Southwest 7-0. Johnson had high praise for

this from a group selected from a quiet, small hamlet just two months ago, pressed together to quickly learn, and grow, as a unit. In the end, they made an impressive impact in this, the first appearance at the Cal Ripken World Series by any Rockville baseball team, a feat that duplicated the efforts of Rockville’s 12U All-Star softball team, who had also competed in Jensen Beach at the Babe Ruth World Series the previous week. Johnson, who played baseball with Rockville emblazoned on his chest as a young lad, headed north Sunday night, ready to be back home, but for-

ever changed by the experience. “First of all, I’m a proud dad for sure, with my son playing. It was a ton of fun to see,” Johnson said, tipping his cap to Brooks, who was the winning pitcher in Saturday’s Perry County victory. “Then, our kids, how well they improved, and the support and rallying around from Rockville, the families. It was tremendous, and completely unexpected.” It’s safe to say life, and expectations, on the ballfields in Rockville, won’t be the same after not one, but two, unforgettable weeks in Florida.

RATHBONE Continued from pg. 26

at the Virginia High School League Girls Open last year has given her a well-earned boost to her confidence. But she wants to do better “I want to shoot under [par] at regionals and I want to get top-five at states,” said Rathbone, who has played fewer tournaments than in recent summers because she’s been attending classes at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College. “I played more tournaments in the summer last year than I did this year, but I’m playing the same that I did last year and I

can do better.” Watkins started the day a little rusty – the Confederates began tryouts just three days before hosting their first match. But the rust didn’t last for long. “I started off a little slow, but I came back and did better toward the end,” he said. His improvement was evident on the seventh hole. After Rathbone had drained about a 30-foot putt that bounced over the hole, ricocheted off the back lip back toward Rathbone, then reversed itself and went back into the hole, Watkins drained an even longer putt to match her score. The duel on the green had all its witnesses chuckling, some shaking their heads in

disbelief. For Watkins, this year – his second year of playing competitive golf – requires a different mindset than his first year. “It feels different because I kind of lead the team as a senior,” Watkins said. “Last year, you had people helping you out. Now you’re helping others out.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

CANCER • Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, sometimes the first step to starting something big is just believing you can do it. Then all you have to do is put all of the other factors in play.

LIBRA • Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you’re inclined to focus on others, but it may be time to carve out some time to care for yourself. If you burn out, everyone will pay the price.

CAPRICORN • Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, accept constructive criticism, which is a part of many successful endeavors. Take away important lessons and apply them now and in the future.

TAURUS • Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, asking for assistance is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it is a true test of strength because it means getting help before situations turn worse. Accept help graciously.

LEO • Jul 23/Aug 23 Stay focused on the journey and you will certainly get to the destination in record time, Leo. You have a passionate desire to see things finished through the end.

SCORPIO • Oct 24/Nov 22 It’s hard to run away from love and romance this week, Scorpio. Prioritize an existing relationship or devote more time to a budding one.

AQUARIUS • Jan 21/Feb 18 Sometimes the best way to improve your bank account isn’t by racking up long hours, but by moving into a career you love, Aquarius. Now is a great time to explore your options.

GEMINI • May 22/Jun 21 Express your creativity every chance you get, Gemini. Sooner or later one of your ideas will appeal to another person, and this could just be the catalyst you need.

VIRGO • Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, this week presents a perfect opportunity to focus on a project you have been meaning to revisit. It’s good to relax, but free time this week may be better spent working.

SAGITTARIUS • Nov 23/Dec 21 It is time to decompress between adventures, Sagittarius. Try sticking closer to home this week and take a breather. There will be plenty of exploration down the road.

PISCES • Feb 19/Mar 20 You often put other people’s needs before your own, Pisces. Others appreciate this and may attempt to express their gratitude in the coming days.

THIS WEEK’S ANSWERS

Beehive distribution program First case of Eastern Equine has been closed to applications Encephalitis reported in state Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND -- The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) recently announced that the Beehive Distribution Program is closed for the year due to the extraordinary number of applications received by VDACS. “The Beehive Distribution Program generated overwhelming interest from Virginia’s citizens,” said Commissioner Jewel Bronaugh. “We have received nearly 2,700 applications since the opening of the application period on July 1. Based on the number of applications received to date, we anticipate that the cost of the equipment to fulfill the current applications will exceed available funding for the program.” VDACS is reviewing applications and those applicants who will receive beehive equipment

will be notified this. Once all funds have been exhausted and beehive equipment distributed, VDACS also will notify those individuals who submitted an application but did not receive beehive equipment. The Beehive Distribution Program resulted from action by the 2018 General Assembly and provided funding for the hive units. The legislation provided equipment directly for up to three beehives per eligible individual. VDACS will register all individuals who receive a beehive unit, allowing for periodic inspection of beehives by the agency. “I am thrilled at the overwhelming response to the program,” said Commissioner Bronaugh, “and sincerely hope that it helps increase our populations of these vital pollinators.” To learn more about the Beehive Distribution Program, go to the VDACS website and search for “beehive distribution program.”

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND -- The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) announced on Friday, Aug. 10, the first case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) in a horse this year. The horse, a Quarter Horse mare from Suffolk, entered the North Carolina State Veterinary school hospital in late July and subsequently died. The disease has an 80 to 90 percent mortality rate. The hospital received notice Thursday, Aug. 9, of the EEE positive result. The horse was vaccinated incompletely with an initial vaccination but not the follow-up shot. For full effectiveness, horses must be vacci-

Main Street seeks feedback on town survey CALENDAR

Continued from pg. 22

ASHLAND -- The Ashland Main Street Association is conducting a survey to determine how to best serve its downtown business community. Maggie Longest, executive director, said, “We would like to get your feedback on some of the things you think of when you think of Ashland, and what businesses you would like to see which we do not already have.” To participate, go to https:// www.surveymonkey.com/r/XW2P6PC. “This survey is specifically designed for downtown business owners. Your responses will inform the work of

Ashland Main Street Association, as we set the year’s agenda,” Longest said. The survey asks about the type of business and its target customer. There are only 13 questions, and will take five minutes or less to complete. Ashland Main Street Association also is circulating a survey, asking for impressions of downtown and visions for the future. Results of the surveys will be the framework for Main Street’s strategic plan. For more information, contact Longest at director@mainstreetashland. org or at 804-496-1434.

There are topical discussions, snacks and crafts, and childcare is provided. They also plan Moms’ Night Out, kids play time and other fun activities. MOPS is an international organization, created for mothers with children age 0 to 5. The WGBC chap-

nated initially with a follow-up booster, and then again every six to 12 months. Sometimes called sleeping sickness, EEE is a mosquito-borne illness that causes inflammation or swelling of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include impaired vision, aimless wandering, head pressing, circling, inability to swallow, irregular staggering gait, paralysis, convulsions and death. Once a horse has been bitten by an infected mosquito, it may take three to 10 days for signs of the disease to appear. For more information on how to control mosquitoes around horses, see vdacs.virginia.gov/animals-eastern-equine-encephalitis. shtml. Horse owners also may contact VDACS’ Office of the State Veterinarian at 804.692.0601 or consult their local veterinarian.

ter meets in the evenings from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in order to accommodate working moms. For more information, contact the church office at 804-746-5081.
