HANOVER -- A second workshop session regarding a proposed mixed use project near the Henrico County line just off U.S. 33 provided some answers regarding the fiscal impact of the massive development, but also raised a number of additional questions.

Hanover County hired a

consultant to gauge those capital and operational impacts associated with the Lake District project and representatives from that firm presented their findings in a workshop session at Thursday’s regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting, the second scheduled to consider the project.

Planning Director David Maloney said the purpose of

the consultant’s study was to achieve a more clear undertanding of capital and operational costs associated with the project, “We have the revenue projections provided by the applicant …. but we didn’t have an understanding …. of the costs associated with the development. We wanted to understand if there was a revenue stream that would offset the

Wade Park’s fate still in limbo as sale talks continue

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER — The fate of Wade Park at Cold Harbor still hangs in the balance as the Hanover County Board if Supervisors met in closed session on Wednesday, Oct. 10, to consider the issue.

Parade’s original Mrs. Claus passes away at age of 64

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor MECHANICSVILLE – A family whose name has been known for spreading joy, as well as suffering great tragedy, has lost its matriarch.

Gloria Lorraine Clodfelter passed away on Tuesday, Oct. 16. The Mechanicsville resident was 64.

She and her husband John

started the Christmas festivities in the Village in December 1985.

The first holiday celebration was held at the windmill bank.

The Clodfelters then experienced the unthinkable on Oct. 21, 2000, when their 21-year-old son Kenneth was killed in the attack on the USS Cole. He was among 17 sailors who died in the terrorist attack

significance of the properties in question. The crossroads at Cold Harbor was the site of two important battles during the Civil War — Gaines Mill and Cold Harbor.

“This is hallowed land and it is sacred,” Kelly said. “You all have the opportunity to save that land.”

Arlington National Cemetery.

After his son’s funeral, John was quoted as saying, “Kenneth won’t be forgotten, the other 16 won’t be forgotten, the Cole won’t be forgotten.”

John Clodfelter made a vow to his son that he would not let people forget. He has kept that promise for nearly 20 years.

When the Clodfelters decided to bring some Christmas cheer to the Village, they invited Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Lee-Davis High School students and, of course, Santa Claus. John donned the familiar red suit as the jolly old elf.

Many questioned whether John and Gloria would continue with the parade after Kenneth’s death. “I couldn’t think of a better reason to continue,” John said. “Kenneth helped me make the first parade a success. I couldn’t stop doing it.”

Gloria is survived by her husband; a son, Joseph, and daughter-in-law, Sherrie Clodfelter; two sisters, Sandy Moss and Tammie Carter; a brother, Richard Carter; seven grandchildren; along with a host of family and friends.

In addition to Kenneth, Gloria was preceded in death

by her parents, Norman Eugene Carter and Kettie Pauline Clark; and another son, John Preston Clodfelter III. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 19, at Woody Funeral Home at 9271 Shady Grove Road in Mechanicsville.

Funeral services will be held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 20, at the funeral home.

Those wishing to send donations are encouraged to contribute to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Kelly voiced her support for the possible sale of the property to the trust.

“I understand that they are offering approximately $1 million, but I may not have my figures correct,” Kelly said. “I also understand that there is a 100acre estate near Beaverdam that may also be offered.”

Kelly suggested that the county use those funds to purchase land for a new park, and

cited the possibility that the county might acquire three new parks with one action, including a sports complex, a new park at another location and the battlefield site.

She also suggested a site on U.S. 360 that could accommodate the sports park and a new high school that will replace Lee-Davis High School.

“You all have the opportunity as our supervisors to save

the old Cold Harbor crossroads and adjoining 50-acre battlefield and getting in return two parks, maybe three,” Kelly concluded.

Other speakers spoke in support of the sale and said the new park should be located in a part of the county where residents could access and utilize its facilities.

Remembering a man who defined service

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor hose who have never been exposed to the world of emergency services may not fully understand the family type relationship and environment members share.

However, the untimely and tragic death of Lt. Brad Clark of Station 6, Hanover Fire-EMS, has affected our county in a way we will never forget.

Even if you didn’t know Clark, I’m sure you, like me, felt a huge loss.

Everything that has been said or written about him was positive.

He was a local resident who truly served his community and gave his all to his chosen profession. He may have been one of those who knew at an early age that he wanted to become a firefighter.

T

Learning of his passing in a horrible accident that took place while he was on-site helping others was heart-breaking. Prayers immediately were said for his family, friends and Fire-EMS colleagues.

I’ve mentioned in the past that I had the honor to serve on the Board of Directors for the ambulance authority in my home county. That’s when I first became aware of the camaraderie of those who literally risk their lives to help us.

I was impressed to witness the bond they shared, knowing they were working together for the betterment of their community. That’s how it was with Clark -- he served for us.

This is being written a couple of hours before Clark’s family, friends and brothers and sisters in emergency services gather to say their final good-

byes. We have kept them in our prayers throughout the morning.

Without a doubt, we know there will be an overwhelming crowd attending his funeral. He was loved and respected -- and he leaves an admirable legacy in Hanover County.

We also continue to pray for the two injured firefighters who were involved in the same wreckage as Clark.

Brad Clark made a difference in Hanover County, and he set an example for us to follow in how we serve and respond to our neighbors.

Hanover County was blessed to have had him among us.

In closing, keep your thoughts and prayers with Clark’s family, as well as those at Hanover Fire-EMS. We share their grief.

Blaming candidate considered bad scare tactic I realize it’s that time of year and I dislike political attack ads as much as the average person, but the one that’s really irritating me is the one chastising Abigail Spanberger for teaching at so called “terror high”.

The ad attempts to blame her for the actions of a few students.

Following this logic, would the teachers at Columbine High or Virginia Tech be responsible for those shooting events? This is a bad, ill thought scare tactic developed by narrow thinking minds.

Firefighter’s death leaves a community stunned and saddened

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist While most of us sat safely in our homes when the remnants of Hurricane Michael ripped through our area last week, a few brave public servants did not have that luxury.

Some of us lost power for a few hours, while others escaped the episode of heavy rain, winds and torna-

dos largely unscathed.

Most of us were concentrating on constant news updates about tornado and flood watches, keeping us alert to the danger that could arise.

And just when the winds and rain were at their height, a firetruck rolled out of Station 6 responding to a twovehicle accident on Interstate 295 just north of Pole Green Road.

The men on that truck were not

They departed the firehouse on a familiar mission, helping and assisting people in need.

No one knew or imagined that, for one of those firefighters, it was the last time he would roll our of that firehouse on U.S. 301.

It’s easy for those of us who don’t risk our lives in that type of service to

take their dedication and bravery for granted, but, on a night like this, their devotion is hard to overlook.

The conditions were horrendous as the truck arrived, lights activated with the four men aboard focused on what they do best: save lives.

In an instant, the lives of those four Hanover Fire/EMS men changed as a tractor-trailer slammed into the back of the parked truck.

Now, I suppose we’ve become accustomed to hearing death tolls associated with these types of storms, but when one of those fatalities hits so close to home it makes us reflect on the sacrifice that a few make regularly to keep our communities safe.

The loss of Bradford “Brad” Clark leaves a community in shock, a county that finds it hard to resume normal activities with such a tragic void so fresh in their collective memories.

The impact on this community was not lost on top state officials including the Governor, as they met with firefighters and their families the week of the accident at Station 6.

It’s also recognized by the hundreds of people whose lives were touched by Lt. Clark, a military veteran whose friends describe as a “man’s man.”

His loss reminds a community of the selfless sacrifice these public servants make every day of their lives, see DEATH, pg. 8

After two stop work orders, a civil fine and demand for an amended construction plan, he said the problem remains.

“Overall, Taylor Farm has been as dark as the water in Wachter Pond,” Nelson said.

He asked board members to require Taylor Farms to perform quarterly water quality tests to ensure compliance. He called for more civil penalties in the future if Taylor Farms does not file the amended construction plan.

“Wachter Pond should not become the construction runoff and sediment trap for Taylor Farm,” Nelson said.

Chickahominy supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek said, “We take the issues at Taylor Farm very seriously.”

Planning director David Maloney said the county does have a set of plans from the developer “that seem approvable” and are currently being reviewed by Public Works.

of a community are extended with a sense of sincerity and true compassion.

To his family and friends who take solace in the fact that Clark left this earth doing something that was dear to his heart, helping others, the coming days will be tough.

Two of the three other firefighters injured in that accident remain in serious condition with significant injuries.

The thoughts and prayers of a community are now focused on their recovery and rehabilitation, and the families whose lives have been changed.

Being well-acquainted with the Hanover way of doing things, I believe this community will supply the support, love and compassion necessary to make those recoveries full, and empower these families to deal with the unbelievable challenges that lie ahead.

The heartbreak of this catastrophe cut deep into the soul of a community, and, at times like these, that strength and commitment of a county is the tie that binds.

But, for now, it’s time for a county to mourn and remember the loss of Brad Clark, and

support the families affected by this terrible tragedy.

It’s a time when thoughts and prayers should be directed toward the loved ones of those who lost the most.

It’s also important to note that once the scene cleared, Clark’s colleagues returned to doing what they do 365 days a year, responding to calls and emergencies of their neighbors and saving lives.

And that might be the greatest and most appropriate tribute to Lt Brad Clark.

Somehow, I think that’s the way he would have wanted it.

This group from Hanover County recently traveled to Washington, D.C., for a Jim Jordan for Speaker rally held on the front lawn of the Capitol. The rally was sponsored by Freedom Works, a Christian Conservative organization. The Hanover group joined a massive group based from Pennsylvania to the Carolinas. Congressional and national leaders discussed issues facing the United States Congress. Jordan, of Ohio, was joined by U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows, founder of the Freedom Caucus. Meadows is from North Carolina. U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-KY, also spoke. After about 90 minutes of speakers, the various groups broke up into the respective states and visited their respective congressmen. The Hanover group visited Rob Wittman’s office and also met with Dave Brat. Wittman represents Virginia’s 1st District, while Brat is from the 7th District.

MARGARET PAGE BEMISS Margaret Page Bemiss, author, conservationist and philanthropist, died at her home on Monday morning, October 15, 2018. She was 85 years old. Mrs. Bemiss was born in Richmond on May 4, 1933, and grew up at Oakland in Hanover County. She was educated at St. Catherine’s School, Bryn Mawr College and Virginia Commonwealth University. Mrs. Bemiss was an active and enthusiastic supporter of educational institutions and of organizations committed to conservation of natural resources, to the preservation of historic places, and to betterment of the City of Richmond and the Commonwealth of Virginia.

She was co-editor of “A Taste of Virginia,” the beloved cookbook of the James River Garden Club, and later authored “Historic Virginia Gardens: Preservation Work of the Garden Club of Virginia 1975-2007,” a history

of the restoration projects of the Garden Club of Virginia, sales of which provided substantial support for the work of these organizations. Soon after her graduation from VCU in 1978, Mrs. Bemiss was appointed to the school’s Board of Visitors, on which she served for over a decade.

Mrs. Bemiss and her husband, Senator FitzGerald Bemiss, were passionate advocates for research, awareness and improved treatment options for Parkinson’s disease. Their inaugural gift launched the campaign to create the VCU Parkinson’s and Movement Disorder Center and led to the establishment of the Bemiss Endowed Chair. Mrs. Bemiss served with pride and passion as a founding member of the Center’s “Movers and Shakers” Advisory Council, and helped establish the Ladies Auxiliary, which created a network of support for caregivers, but also raised over $350,000 in five years. Her gifts of time and service extended to her advocacy, through which she successfully secured annual funding from the state legislature that continues to benefit all Virginians suffering from Parkinson’s and other movement disorders. Mrs. Bemiss’s intelligence, patience, humor and charm were essential elements of her effectiveness as a leader in the Richmond community, and she consistently practiced a kind of active and fully-committed philanthropy that brought real, positive change to Richmond, its institutions and all of the people that occupy and benefit from see OBITUARIES, pg. 11

leged to serve the students of Hanover County, and I am fortunate to work alongside so many talented and dedicated professionals who always have our students’ best interests at heart. Our sustained success is reflective of their efforts, as well as the remarkably strong support of our community that continues to support a robust public education system in Hanover County,” Gill said.

The RTD invites nominations from the community and selects some honorees based on achievements during a particular year or in recent years.

Covenant Woods updates cottages Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

ECHANICSVILLE -Covenant Woods has embarked on a forward thinking project to renovate its original cottages in the Brookview neighborhood, which opened with the Continuing Care Retirement Community in 2001.

Over the last 17 years, the market has changed drastically and Covenant Woods is prepared to meet the needs of today’s consumers with a modern product tailored to their wants and needs.

Submitted photo

Cottages in the Brookview neighborhood of Covenant Woods are being renovated.

The newly renovated neighborhood will feature four new floor plans, ranging

from 1,520 to 1,855 square feet.

Completion of the project

will bring the total number of residences in the neighborhood from 29 units to 21, with the elimination of duplex models.

The new, stand-alone cottages feature modern amenities not seen in the original 2001 models. Open floor plans encourage creative home décor, with large, open floor plan kitchens highlighting the living space. High ceilings in all new residences help open the space up visually, while the ample amount of storage, including one- and two-car garages, cater to the see COTTAGES, pg. 15

long-term, the operational and capital costs associated with the development outweigh the economic benefits, according to her study, resulting in an annual net loss for the county of about $4million when the project is completed.

The addition of a new element a r y school, forestation and a list of r o a d HERLANDS improvements would be necessary to accommodate the new development according to the TischlerBise report. “The intent of the analysis is to identify whether there is a surplus to offset potential capital impacts,� Herlands said.

The project is ongoing and is completing its second phase, opening five new cottages.

All five of these cottages are expected to be completed by the end of 2018 with one of these new cottages still available.

Construction of the homes is being managed by Henderson Inc., based in Williamsburg.

Known for being a key

resenting the developer Boyd Homes, disputed the methodology utilized to arrive at those conclusions, a n d GEIGER said the unique nature of the project was not considered in the consultant’s cost analysis. “In our analysis, the per student cost is reduced by more than 50 percent. The applicant does not believe that a new school is needed due to existing capacity in this area that could meet the number of students to be generated,�

Geiger said.

Maloney said the analysis did confirm the developer’s assertion that student ratios would be lower to the design of the project that features a number of one bedroom or studio apartments.

“We were able to determine that there is some validity to the applicant’s assumption that there will be a lower student generation rate with this project,� Maloney said. “We were able to substantiate the applicant’s claims that the project such as this actually generates fewer students than what we typically see with a more conventional development.�

Maloney also noted the costs associated with a new elementary school to accommodate the projected 240 additional students was proportional, and the developer’s portion would not fully fund a new school that could accommodate 750 students.

The developer also took issue with many of the cost assumptions for public safety, education and other costs identified in the TischlerBise analysis.

Those estimates include the need for a new fire station in the fifth year of development and the construction of a new elementary school. Road

improvement costs also were included in the study.

“The fundamental matter at hand is a land use matter, and land use decisions are based just on that,” Maloney said. “We typically don’t make zoning decisions based on forecasts or projected operational cost impacts rising from the land use. What we do focus on the capital impacts, particularly road impacts.”

Boyd had promised to contribute a substantial amount to the widening of U.S. 33, but the TischlerBise analyses identified seven road projects associated with the project that would need to be funded at a cost of $13 to $18 million.

ASHLAND – Ashland Town Council began a discussion regarding a topic that perplexes and challenges communities nationwide: the problem of providing affordable housing for its residents.

Council has planned three presentations to start that conversation, and the first took place at the Oct. 16 regular meeting.

“This is a setting the table type presentation that prepares for us the discussions. Can we agree on the facts? This is about informed decision-making.” Town Manager Joshua Farrar said.

In the first of three meetings centered on affordable housing, Farrar focused on data and emphasized the interdependent relationship between affordable housing, transportation and poverty levels. He also noted the significant differences of Ashland’s numbers regarding affordable housing and the remainder of the county and region.

The state defines affordable housing that allows residents with incomes below the median income to pay 30 percent of their wages for rent and utilities.

The median income in Ashland is about $49,000 a year.

Farrar pointed to the limited availability of land for new residential development and said the revitalization of the town’s housing stock could provide options for affordable housing.

While the cost of an affordable residence is about $181,000, finding one of those units is easier said than done, according to council member John Hodges.

Farrar said the term affordable does not always equate to rentals, and, in many cases, the

average monthly rental is more than a monthly mortgage payment.

Another problem with affordable rentals in Ashland is the low turnover rate of the 700-plus apartments within the town.

“We’re dealing with the stock that we have,” Farrar said.

He said there could be

affordable opportunities in the mobile home area. “There are some opportunities there.”

Farrar acknowledged the complexity of the issue.

“Affordability is relative.

It’s an interesting and unique scenario that we are dealing with here. If we try to tackle everything, we won’t get anything done.”

The second presentation is scheduled for Nov.20, where the next stage of conversation will occur, including town, county and state responsibilities and what has worked and what hasn’t in Virginia.

The final session will address definitions, identify the problem, and begin a community conversation, according to Farrar.

“I want us to create that forum. I’m happy to do a road show to get this out in the community.”

Maggie Longest, director of Ashland Main Street Association, updated council regarding the downtown business community.

According to recent business surveys, Ashland’s target customer base is between 35 and 50 years old and resides in the Greater Richmond area.

Longest said this is important information when marsee HOUSING, pg. 35

Randolph-Macon goes on OT for victory

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – After three dominant performances to begin Old Dominion Athletic Conference play, RandolphMacon entered Saturday’s Homecoming game with Bridgewater a certain favorite. However, if there were any Yellow Jackets who didn’t believe there were no down weeks in conference play, they do now.

Randolph-Macon saw a 17-0 lead evaporate as Bridgewater scored 24 unanswered points before it fought back to force overtime, finally clinching the victory on a 2-yard pass from Burke Estes to Robby Owens in the second extra session for a 44-41 victory in front of 3,216 fans at Day Field.

“I think the last three weeks we’ve had some things go our way,” said Yellow Jacket head coach Pedro Arruza. “We’ve been able to jump on some teams. I don’t know if flat is the right word. I don’t think we played well, but our kids kept battling and battling. You have to give Bridgewater credit.”

For most of the first half, it seemed like it would be another Saturday in the mode of the Yellow Jackets’ recent successes. Chris Vidal’s 35-yard field goal opened the scoring in the first quarter, then Tre Frederick broke off a 65 yard touchdown

run early in the second for a 10-0 lead.

After stopping the Eagles’ offense, Eric Hoy was the recipient of a lucky break, recovering a fumble on a punt return at the Bridgewater 46. Eight plays

later, Estes found Sam Tanner (Lee-Davis) for an 8-yard touchdown reception in the back of the end zone.

But Bridgewater ended the half on an 18-play, 71-yard drive capped by a 29-yard field

goal from Logan Weis to cut the halftime margin to 17-3. It was a portent of things to come.

Randolph-Macon’s defense spent the second half in a complete fit of frustration, as Bridgewater converted on 9-of-

PETERSBURG – Cosby freshman Gabbie Hollberg didn’t let nerves get in the way of making waves at the VHSL Central Zone qualifier golf tournament at Dogwood Trace Golf Course on Oct. 16.

When she found her anxiety levels rising, she followed a coach’s advice and counted her way to some semblance of serenity.

The counting paid off, as Hollberg finished atop the leaderboard with a 13-over-par 85 to qualify for the VHSL Girls Open, which was held Monday and Tuesday at Springfield Golf Club.

“I had a few bad shots in there. It could have been lower. But it’s pretty good,” Hollberg said. “I was feeling pretty good, especially on the front nine – I had see ZONE, pg. 26

Highland Springs runs roughshod over Atlee

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – To beat a three-time defending state champion, you need flawless execution, indomitable will and some breaks.

At Homecoming on Friday night, the Atlee Raiders suffered through a performance featuring none of those characteristics, leaving the field after a 44-0 loss to Highland Springs with plenty of unanswered questions and two difficult battles remaining in the fight to return to the postseason after a year’s absence.

For Highland Springs (8-0), which returned most of its starters from last year’s state championship team, the win was just another check on its to-do list to earn a return to the Class 5 state final. The Springers have outscored opponents 418-27.

The game was more a validation of Highland Springs than an indictment of Atlee, which has doubled its win total of a year ago. The win over the Raiders, along with the Springers’ victories over LeeDavis and Hanover attest to just how much better Highland Springs currently is than everyone else in its region.

“I’m very thankful for Coach [Devon] Simmons. He does an excellent job defensively,” said Highland Springs head coach

to his left first and they shut it down, so he rolled right. That’s a luxury, the same one that Atlee has, when your quarterback is your punter. Those are athletic kids who can do multiple things.”

The Springers got the ball back, feeding Smith again, who raced around left side for an 83-yard touchdown run, diving into the end zone to seal the score. A 1-yard touchdown run for Waller in the second quarter made it 21-0. Both scores were built off of Highland Springs’ interceptions.

The Springers defense rose up, stuffing an Atlee drive which advanced to the Highland Springs 4 in the final three minutes of the first half. A Brian Marcos’ 25-yard field goal try became a fake field goal try, ended by the Springers’ special teams’ Devyn Coles tackling Warren back at the 22.

biggest challenge was, not having golfed 18 holes for a while now, it was a lot to get through throughout the day.”

Even though the day was long, Lamb said she played better on the back nine than on the front. She said the other three girls in her group helped her get more comfortable.

Lamb said the qualifier helped her get ready for her final two years of high school golf.

“It’s good practice in controlling your nerves,” she said.

There was another big benefit.

“I got to know the girls I was golfing with a little better,” Lamb said. “Hopefully I’ll be able to go out for a couple of rounds with them later on.”

Hollberg was joined at the Girls Open by fellow Central Zone qualifiers Glen Allen’s Chae Han (85) and Maggie Walker’s Virginia Adams (91).

Austin steals away with Dominion Classic win

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor HENRICO – Even though defending Dominion Energy Charity Classic champion Bernhard Langer started the final round of the tournament three strokes off the lead, he still looked to be the man to beat when play resumed at the Country Club of Virginia’s James River Course Sunday morning.

But Woody Austin, who likewise began three strokes back of leader Jay Haas with a two-day score of 136, changed the script.

Langer, who in the two previous days had performed well on the back nine, struggled to find a birdie. Austin, on the other hand, made four on the front nine Sunday and added two more on the back – including a critical birdie on the 18th hole that gave him a two-stroke lead over Langer – to claim the championship and move into eighth place in the Charles Schwab Cub standings as they head into the second week of the PGA Champions Tour playoffs.

Austin joked about his spoiler role.

“Yeah, it seemed like [Langer] couldn’t quite get it over the hump, you know,” Austin said. “I’m not going to feel bad for the guy. The guy’s kind of had things go his way for the last 12 years.”

It’s not like things didn’t go Langer’s way. While he finished in a three-way tie for fourth after the second round with Austin and Billy Mayfair, Langer birdied the 18th hole to finish just a stroke behind Austin. He shot over par just once, triple-putting No. 5 for his only bogey of the day.

But it was the missed birdie putts that took a toll.

“I made a couple important

their heads, too,” Langer said.

“Definitely, the wind made it a lot harder. I think that’s why the scores are higher today. It was cold and quite windy.”

The challenging conditions, however, played to Austin’s strengths.

“I really enjoy a difficult test,” he said. “I showed even at the Senior British, the worst conditions the last day and I played phenomenal in those conditions and moved all the way up tied for sixth … I enjoy even par meaning something.

That’s my game.

“I mean, if I can get it to where it’s hard, I’ll just make a couple birdies just hitting good shot after good shot. I just don’t make 20-footers on a regular basis like these guys do. So you get me to a golf course where I don’t have to on a regular basis, I’ve got a chance.”

Nevertheless, Austin made more than a couple of birdies on the final day. Getting so many early helped his confidence.

“I hit a real good shot on the first hole, made a really good putt on the first hole, so that gets you in a good mindset,” he said. “Then I stuffed it on the par 3 No. 4. to 4 feet. … Then No. 9 was a tap-in. I chipped it up there to about 6 inches.

“It’s like anything, if you can give yourself enough chances, which is what I did … I got the break I needed at the end. I kept myself in there long enough and fortunately got it.”

The break Austin got came on this third shot on the par-5 18th hole. He chipped in from just beyond the fringe of the green, and the ball hit and rolled straight for the pin – but just a little too fast. It bounced Joel Klein for The Local off the flag, but left him a birdie Dominion Energy Charity Classic winner Woody Austin watches his birdie attempt on the 17th hole just slip by Sunday. putt about a club-length away ones and then I missed a couple about a 6-footer, something like Virginia course is always a chal- some of the hardest greens which he sank for a two-stroke important ones, especially the that, and I just didn’t hit it hard lenge – one made worse by the to read of all the greens we lead over Langer. play, at least that’s what I find. conditions Sunday. one on 16,” Langer said. “I hit enough.

Patriots win grueling match against Raiders

By Rob Witham and Dave Lawrence Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – The move of Patrick Henry in 2017 from Class 5 to Class 4 stole a level of energy and excitement from its boys volleyball rivalry with Atlee.

Thus, no longer destined to have a third (or fourth) meeting come November, bragging rights were on the line on Oct. 16 when the Raiders came to Ashland looking to take a win on their rival’s home court as the Patriots did to them earlier in the season.

For a late-season encounter, both teams showed flaws.

Both coaches saw work that still needed to be done. But, in an unusual twist, while Patrick Henry took a four-set victory (25-23, 25-23, 19-25, 25-22), it was Atlee head coach Randy Jones showing more optimism post-match.

“We’re right there in the top three of the region, Glen Allen and Deep Run being the favorites,” Jones noted. “We’re right there behind them. We’ve just got to cut out our mental errors.

We make more unforced errors than those teams, it seems. If we eliminate those come playoff time, we stand a chance against either one of them.”

“That’s probably the best we’ve played as a team together in quite a few weeks. We kind of look like we’re just going through the motions,” said Patrick Henry head coach Michael Townsend of his concerns over his team’s performance. “There’s no dire urge to get the very next point. Iit’s like, let’s walk through this until it’s 20-20, and then we’ll start playing.”

Jaxon Delgado led the Patriots with 14 kills, while C.W. McIlhenny had 13 and

Atlee (11-5) was led by Mason Ellenberger and Daniel Hooper, each tallying 17 kills, while Nick Conway had 45 assists to go with 11 digs.

The Patriots, who finish the regular season 14-3, begin postseason play Tuesday in the Class 4, Western Section tournament while Atlee will likely host a Region 5B quarterfinal on the same night.

Meanwhile, Nick Rodgers had 10 kills and 16 assists for Lee-Davis as the Confederates exacted revenge from an earlier loss to rival Hanover with a sweep at home, 25-18, 25-22, 25-19. The Hawks were led by Connor Askew with 10 kills, 12 assists, and 11 digs.

points – before succumbing to the Hawks in Hanover’s 25-19, 25-21, 17-25, 25-17 home victory.

Down the road, Patrick Henry outlasted host Atlee with a 23-25, 24-26, 25-22, 26-24, 15-12 win.

Hanover was looking at a potential sweep, lead”ing through much of the first half of the third game. But Lee-Davis rallied, catchup to and then – late in the game – overtaking the Hawks for the win.

Lee-Davis then took the early lead in the fourth set and looked poised to force a tiebreaker, but a bit of advice from Hanover head coach Greg Knight: to “not get so set on a team being a certain way.”

“I think the reason the third set got in the place that it did was, No. 1, they started swinging all of a sudden,” Knight said.

“We got so used to – in the first and second sets – nobody really hitting hard or well or in or effectively. In the third set, somebody really started to and that really shook us.”

One of the leaders in the Confederate rally was Tori Crabbe, who led Lee-Davis with 19 kills, an ace and 11

digs. Cate Pendlebury had nine kills and a block, and Jillian Turner finished with four kills, 41 assists, an ace and eight digs.

“It was a strong match,” said Lee-Davis head coach Kristy Porterfield. “We fell short in a couple of areas. We’re just trying to put all of the pieces together. We did a little shifting around of our lineup to try to play to some of our weaknesses and strengths. We’re getting

better, a little bit at a time. I’ll take it.”

Hanover was led by Megan Kratzer with 24 kills, two aces, two blocks and nine digs.

Quinn Kellogg finished with 32 assists and seven digs, while Leslie Anne Currie tallied five assists, two aces and 12 digs.

Patrick Henry was led by Alexis McNair with 19 kills, Phoebe McLaughlin with 14, and Claire Williams with five

kills and five blocks.

Atlee was led by Chayse Tyler with 19 kills, five aces, two blocks and 22 digs. Brianna Brown had 16 kills, 20 assists, three aces, four blocks and 19 digs and Leah Zatorski recorded 22 assists, an ace and 13 digs.

AUSTIN

“I played the first four holes like a champ, then got off the rails a little bit,” Haas said. “Had a good look at 13 for a birdie and left it short and then just made a mess of No. 14. That hole in the past has given me a big headache.”

Langer remains at the top of the Charles Schwab Cup standings. Austin, with his win, leaped 11 places in the standings to eighth place. Jones improved 12 places to 32nd place and Haas 13 places to 36th.

Quinn, who was looking to be eliminated from the playoffs without a big improvement, got the biggest boost on the week, climbing from 64th place to 45th – comfortably above

the cutoff to advance to the second round this week at the Invesco QQQ Championship at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California.

Langer, in the next group, wasn’t ready to concede, but he needed an eagle to force a playoff. He faced a longer chip for his third shot, and likewise dropped it about a club-length away from the hole. But close was not close enough.

Haas had struggled somewhat on the front nine, with two bogeys on the fifth and eighth holes. But he was still very much in charge until he double bogeyed the 14th hole.

He finished in a three-way tie for third with Fran Quinn and Kent Jones.

then the Springers’ offense proceeded to score three times in the period, twice on the same play call, a slant screen which on one occasion Antwane Wells Jr. took 83 yards to paydirt and, on its next possession, an 80-yard pitch and catch from Waller to Jennings to end the scoring.

The Raiders were held to 104 yards total offense, while the Springers racked up 485, 266 of them on the three long touchdown plays.

Isaac Abel led the Atlee defense with eight tackles, two for losses, while Andrew

Stevens added six and Isaiah Abel had four.

Now Atlee must prepare for another athletic team, a trip to 7-1 Varina Friday. The Raiders do not want to be in a position where they must win their final game at home against Hanover on Nov. 2 to clinch a Region 5B postseason berth. A much better performance, and a win over the Blue Devils, would guarantee Atlee its sixth playoff appearance in the last eight seasons.

total yards.

Down 24-17, RandolphMacon finally woke up, compiling a seven-play drive highlighted by a 51-yard pitch and catch from Estes to Hoy, who faked on a jet sweep and found himself all alone down the left sideline. On the next play, Frederick scored his second touchdown, from 2 yards, to tie the game at 24-24 with 12:10 left.

Bridgewater quarterback Jay Scroggins, who passed for 310 yards and rushed for 62, led the Eagles on another scoring drive, capped by a 15-yard run from Demetreus Jalepes, as they regained the lead 31-24.

The Yellow Jackets’ conference lead was now in jeopardy.

But Frederick, a senior, broke through a hole for a 62-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 31-31. Then, finally, the Yellow Jacket defense made a stand, as Bridgewater stalled at the Randolph-Macon 46, deciding to throw two Hail Marys towards the end zone in the final seconds of regulation. Both passes were knocked aside, forcing the first overtime

game for the Yellow Jackets in a decade.

Randolph-Macon began on offense, riding Frederick, who earned 12 yards, and Hoy, who nabbed 13, including a 4-yard touchdown run, for the 38-31 lead. Bridgewater answered on their possession from the 25, Scroggins finding Devonte Smith on a diving grab for a score. The Eagles lined up to go for two points to try to win the game, but a false start penalty negated the opportunity, and Bridgewater opted for the safer extra point, and a second extra session.

Scroggins led the Eagles down to the 5, but on fourth down and 4, Bridgewater opted for a field goal for a 41-38 lead.

The door to victory was finally open. Just like the first overtime, it was Frederick and Hoy combining for five rushes to the Bridgewater 2. On second and goal, Arruza decided to turn to Estes.

“I thought if we were going to throw it, second down would be the best time,” Arruza explained when asked about the game-winning call. “I didn’t want to get in a third down situation where they stuffed us. ... I

went with my gut. The coaches asked, what about this or this, and I said this is what I feel comfortable with.”

The first try, on second and goal, was incomplete, Estes unable to find Owens. On third and goal, running the exact same play, Owens got open, and Estes, rolling right, did the rest. The play set off an unusual combination of wild celebration, and a communal sigh of relief, as the Yellow Jackets remained unbeaten in ODAC play at 4-0, winning their sixth game in a row.

Frederick ran for 238 yards and the three touchdowns, while Estes finished 11-of-18 for 136 yards and two scores.

For the first time this season, the Yellow Jackets did not win the time of possession. Arruza is keenly aware of the glaring weaknesses a surprising Eagles team exposed Saturday.

“We certainly did not play like a championship team today,” Arruza opined. “We

played with the heart of a champion, but did not play or execute the way we should have.

I thought they out-executed us.

We could have done a better job coaching our guys up, and that starts and ends with me.”

In the end, the scare could be a blessing in disguise for Randolph-Macon, who should leave nothing to chance when they take the field at Emory and Henry Saturday.

“I think you need games like this. Games like this are important,” Arruza said. “Did I want to come out here and win a game by 40, 50 points? Would that have been the best thing for our football team? No. I think we needed to play from start to finish. These kids need to understand, these are tough games.”

SANTA MARTA, COLOMBIA

The Martians are invading the Center of the Universe with performances by The Ashland Players Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND -- To celebrate the 80th anniversary of Orson Welles’s 1938 broadcast of The War of the Worlds this month, the Ashland Players will perform a staged reading of the radio play as the group’s inaugural production.

The production is directed by Amy George Brown and Matteo Pangallo, and features the voice talents of Meriwether Delano Gilmore, Gina McKenzie, Jack Mooney, Don Polaski and

“We are more than happy to work with the applicant and talk about our methodology and address further questions as they come about,” Herlands said.

Geiger said his team will be taking advantage of that offer.

“We look forward to getting the actual methodology and a description of the methodology so we can understand the

Woody Robertson, with sound design and performance by Jason Morris.

“It’s been eight decades since the MercuryTheater-on-the-Air broadcast,” Pangallo said, “but that event still stands out in our national memory as a vivid demonstration of how public credulity can succumb to compelling, though fabricated, narratives that play on fear and hysteria.”

The radio play, which playwright Howard Koch adapted and updated from the 1897 H. G. Wells novel, aired on CBS on Oct. 30, 1938, and caused a panic among listeners across the

country who thought the fictional story of a nearly-apocalyptic Martian invasion of Earth a real news broadcast.

“The Ashland Players’ script is based on the 1938 broadcast,” Pangallo said, “but with a few revisions to really bring it home for a Richmond-area audience.”

Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26-27, at Ashland Coffee and Tea at 100 N. Railroad Ave. in Ashland. Tickets are $20 for adults and $12 for children 12 and under and include a choice from several differ-

“The applicant presented its own numbers showing a net positive impact,” Geiger said as he presented a 13-page letter from Figura addressing conclusions provided by TischlerBise.

The Planning Commission will consider the application at its upcoming November meeting and provide a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors, which will make the final decision on the project, a vote that seems likely for early next year.

businesses than we’ve ever had,” Longest said.

Light Up the Tracks, a seasonal lights event “creating a living holiday postcard,” is scheduled for December.

“We are pleased to be able to use that as an attraction for

downtown,” Longest said.

Thanks to a grant from Dominion Energy, special events such as carolers will be featured during this year’s Christmas event.

“We’re pleased to have all of these things coming together,”

ent meals Americans were eating at the time of the original broadcast, as well as coffee or tea and dessert. Wine and beer also will be available for purchase. Tickets can be booked at ashlandcoffeeandtea.com or by calling 804-299-3605.

The Ashland Players is dedicated to making meaningful, accessible, and enjoyable theater part of the cultural life of Ashland and the surrounding communities.

For more information, visit facebook.com/ AshlandPlayers or contact ashlandplayers@ gmail.com

Longest said.

Farrar explained that a proposed ordinance clarifying the town’s position on railroad crossing safety, specifically addressing the problem of stopped trains blocking all crossings for extended periods of time, makes the town’s position on this safety issue clear.

“It’s not a situation that just affects Ashland. We are noticing that we are having longer trains and higher traffic delays,” Hodges said. The delays affect business and public safety, according to Hodges.

The resolution asks federal officials to explore remedies that will alleviate the extended delays and crossing blockings.

Within 18 months, the request asks officials to establish maximum times a crossing can be blocked.

Council member Dan McGraw had perhaps the most dramatic example of how

those blockings can affect citizens. While waiting for one of those delays, he encountered heart problems that required Ashland police to assist him with transport.

In other matters, council appointed Martha Miller to the Ashland Parks Committee and reappointed Timothy E. Shelton to the Economic Development Authority. Both appointments were approved unanimously.

“We really appreciate the citizenry we have in this community,” Mayor Steve Trivett said.

There also was discussion regarding parking regulations that allow cars to park in either direction adjacent to the curb.
