Absentee voting rising as Christmas Mother: Focus mid-term election nears will be on helping the kids By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

HANOVER COUNTY – With the eyes of the nation focused on the mid-term election, Hanover County is already seeing a spike in voting. Teresa F. “Teri” Smithson, director of Elections/General Registrar, said, “Hanover County now has 78,711 registered voters. We started absentee voting on Sept. 21, 2018, and have processed over 2,900 applications and we still have four days of absentee voting to go.” In comparison, she said, “The 2014 mid-term only saw a total of 1,632 absentee applications.” Between the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 6, voters will be determining who they want to represent them in the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives. Those on the

ballot are: Senate – Corey A. Stewart, Republican; Timothy M. Kaine, Democrat; and Matt J. Waters. Libertarian. House 1st District – Robert J. “Rob” Wittman,

Republican; and Vangie A. Williams, Democrat. County voters also will decide the fate of two Proposed Constitutional Amendments (the choices are yes or no): Question 1 Should a county, city, or town be authorized to provide a partial tax exemption for real property that is subject to recurrent flooding, if flooding

Question 2 Shall the real property tax exemption for a primary residence that is currently provided to the surviving spouses of veterans who had a one hundred percent service-connected, permanent, and total disability be amended to allow the surviving spouse to move to a different primary residence and still claim the exemption? Smithson’s office is always ready when election time rolls around. For next week’s election, she said, “We have been rockin’ ’n’ rollin’! I have spoken with directors of Elections from across the state and we all agree, this is the biggest absentee voting we have ever seen!” “More than 800 voters have come into our office to vote In-Person Absentee.

Hidden in Plain Sight: What every parent needs to know about drugs Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – Hidden in Plain Sight will be presented from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 7, at New Song Church located at 7450 Colts Neck Rd. in Mechanicsville. Hidden in Plain Sight is a free community initiative and is suitable for parents, grandparents, other community members and any adult who works with or cares about young people. A replica of a teenager’s bedroom will be on display for participants to browse and observe, becoming familiar with where and how teens might hide drugs or paraphernalia. Seemingly innocent items commonly used by youth could actually indicate a substance abuse problem. Would you be able to recognize signs of substance use and effectively intervene? Do you know what a lottery ticket is used for, or what about a mason jar or a dryer sheet? Don’t know

the answer to these questions? Then this event is for you. It will allow you to be more knowledgeable and proactive in helping a young person who might be using drugs, but also prevent youth from even starting. This event is hosted by the Teens Care Too Coalition, which is comprised of Hanover County high school students dedicated to educating their peers and parents about the dangers of substance use. Heather Johnson, Adolescent Development specialist with the Hanover County Community Services Board, serves as one of the group’s advisors. “Parents in our community are often told to watch for warning signs that their teen might be vaping or using tobacco, alcohol or other see DRUGS, pg. 4

Marsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe parents will be amazed at what is happening now with our youth. Youth experience peer pressure much more now than 10 or 20 years ago, and often have a perception that all their peers are using drugs and alcohol, or even vaping, when in fact that is not the social norm in Hanover.

Do you care about your country? If so, then vote By Melody Kinser Managing Editor verybody has an opinion about how our government operates. That’s all well and good, but do you take advantage of the privilege of voting? I have never missed an election -- even special ones that were held on Saturdays. The democratic process was a frequent topic of my discussion in my home. Many subjects that affect us made their way to my family’s dinner table. For four people, we were very vocal -- and strongly opinionated. When I have been disappointed in the choices on a ballot or upset with an amendment, I hear my

father’s voice reminding me: “You have a responsibility to vote. It is an honor and a privilege.” Yes, Dad, I know. Today’s division in political parties and philosophies should prompt an increase in voter turnout. Your preference is your business. But, to be heard, you must take the time to go to the polls. Tuesday’s election is shaping up to be one of the most active mid-terms in recent memory. And that’s a good thing. This publication does not endorse candidates, but we do -- with a great passion -- encourage you to vote. I have no intention to try to sway anyone in any direction or toward any particular candidate.

Again, all I will say is go vote. While some of the campaigns have taken ugly turns, don’t buy into the hype. If someone is being negative toward their opponent, then what do they bring to the political table? I’ve always believed that an incumbent should seek re-election based on what he or she has done while in office. Attacking the opponent isn’t the answer throughout the cycle. So, it’s up to you. The choice literally is yours. Polls will open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. It is our future, as well as that of the generations after us, at stake. Going to vote is so worth the effort on so many levels. Make it a priority on Nov. 6.

Retirement dream changed from almost paradise By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I suppose my vision of retirement differed little from millions of Americans who pictured their later years sitting on a beach in Florida, enjoying a cool beverage and just relaxing. My choices in life nixed that plan and having children late in life has altered my later in life plans, and thoughts of retirement have turned to how to fund college for my kids.

Those leisurely days on the beach seem very distant. But, for many Americans, the trip South to Florida is a reality, and the Sunshine State still attracts snowbirds from all over the county, and the world for that matter. Low taxes, beautiful (for the most part) weather and a relaxed lifestyle are a perfect fit for retirees seeking a more relaxed schedule that allows time to enjoy the things in life that the work-a-day schedule would not allow.

As a child growing up in Montgomery, Alabama, we spent our summer vacations at a small panhandle beach called Panama City. Trust me, the small beach town in 1955 bore no semblance to what it would become, and I’m not sure many of the residents had heard of Spring Break. Driving from Montgomery, we passed small towns in the panhandle that offered a different view of the Florida most of us associated with the promotional flyers.

There were small country towns, most of the buildings painted white and situated around a small town square. It’s the part of Florida, long since disappeared, that I envisioned when I thought of my retirement there. When Hurricane Michael targeted those very locations, I watched in horror as those quaint little towns were virtually wiped off the map. The number of misplaced residents, see DREAM, pg. 8

Citizens urged To focus on fiscal analysis The Oct. 18 Hanover County Planning Commission work session on the mammoth Lake District mixed use application was full of many breathtaking moments, but citizens need to focus on the TischleBise fiscal analysis. The Planning staff and the applicant were way too dismissive of the information from the Sheriff, FireEMS and School Board. Those numbers in red ink should really capture our attention. Each side in this case has evidence and argument and that process must play out. But the county government and its citizens should be skeptical of the overly optimistic scenario being presented by the applicant. The reduction in Hanover’s cash proffers in 2012, the General Assembly’s quashing of localities’ ability to levy cash proffers and Virginia’s being a Dillon Rule state allow developers to bully the localities. There can be little equitable bargaining among the stakeholders. I urge the Planning Commission to ask serious questions of applicant, fiscal analysts—and the Planning Department.

Truck driver arraigned in crash that killed firefighter By Sean Gorman Richmond Times-Dispatch HANOVER -- A truck driver was arraigned Thursday on charges stemming from this month’s crash that killed Hanover Fire-EMS Lt. Brad Clark after he responded to an accident scene on Interstate 295. Lester Lewis Labarge, 49, of California, Maryland, appeared in Hanover General District Court on charges of reckless driving and having inoperable brakes in connection with the Oct. 11 accident that happened during Tropical Storm Michael. Labarge said little during the hearing where Judge Hugh S. Campbell set a March 21 court hearing in the case. The truck driver declined to comment after his court appearance. Clark and three other firefighters were struck during the 9 p.m. crash on Interstate 295 north of the Meadowbridge Road-Pole Green Road exit, according to the Virginia

State Police. They were outside their fire truck, which had its emergency lights on, when Labarge’s southbound tractor trailer rear-ended the fire truck that was stopped at an accident scene in the far left lane and shoulder, according to the State Police. Two firefighters were taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. One of them is now recovering at home while the other is in serious but stable condition, Hanover fire officials said last week. A fourth firefighter received minor injuries during the incident, the state police said. In addition to the reckless driving and inoperable brake charges, State Police have said that additional charges are pending. The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation announced last week that they are raising money to pay off Lt. Brad Clark’s mortgage through a fundraising campaign that can be found at www.crowdrise.com.

Frank Siller of the Foundation took part in last Wednesday’s program at Henry Station 6, which was Clark’s home station. Clark was honored at a memorial service at Meadow Event Park in Doswell that was attended by emergency officials from Virginia and beyond. In the days following the memorial service, Bob Clark, Brad Clark’s father, who is a retired Henrico fire batsee FIREFIGHTER, pg. 8

talion chief, released a letter to the community thanking them for their support. “As you can imagine, our family is devastated that our son, who was a husband, father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend to so many great people, is no longer with us,” Brad Clark’s family wrote. “He died doing what he so dearly loved. We are so heart broken about his crew. We love you guys so much, and we will be here for you. Yes, Brad is surely missed, but we believe

his legacy will apparently last for a while.” Here is the Clark family’s letter: Obviously, we are devastated with this horrific loss of our son, and we are heartbroken about both the physical as well as mental injuries to Brad’s awesome crew of firefighters. We pray for you all every day. (We are here for you all). First, to Chief [Jethro] Piland, Fire Chief of the Hanover FireEMS Department. Your demonstration of love and support is overwhelming! We have loved you all through Brad, but this love is now so much more personal.

Also the kind people who donated food for visitation and service. Your generosity was tremendous. As you can imagine, our family is devastated that our son, who was a husband, father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend to so many great people, is no longer with us. He died doing what he so dearly loved. We are so heart broken about his crew. We love you guys so much, and we will be here for you. Yes, Brad is surely missed, but we believe his legacy will apparently last for a while. The outpouring of love from friends, church, and community has been endless – We all appreciate you all so much. We are fighters and will push through this devastating circumstance day by day. During the procession, we apologize for the poor traffic conditions that so many people had to endure, but it was so heart warming for all moms & dads,

with their children who watched our Hero Son being transported to the Meadow Event Park. Tell your kids that firefighters and police officers risk their lives each and everyday for all of us. Many thanks for channels, 12, 8 and 6 for broadcasting his service to the region. Lt. Brad Clark left a large footprint. He is challenging all of us to laugh, love, and to be a better society. To be more gracious, understanding, patient with other. … and yes, to be more attentive drivers. Pay better attention to driving and ensure our vehicles are in good working order. We can only hope this tragic accident can bring a higher level of awareness to our driving habits. #MOVE OVER!!

me to another discomfort hitting the Sunshine State, one that has received less publicity that the recent hurricane. “You wouldn’t be able to breathe down here,” she said. She explained that a pesky red tide was affecting beach towns along the East Coast of Florida, prohibiting swimmers from enjoying that refreshing dip or even enjoying a carefree day on the beach. This tide comes with an odor that is affecting residents, causing eye and respiratory irritation and forcing many of those residents to don protective masks when walking anywhere near the beach. Many thought the recent

hurricane might wash out the impending red doom, but it didn’t seem to affect its migration or intensity. She sent me a photo of folks walking on Indian River County beaches with masks, and beachside businesses suffering from the diminished traffic along the boardwalk. The images did not evoke thoughts of paradise, but more closely resembled paradise lost. Now, I’m sure things will soon return to normal in our southernmost state, and those snowbirds will soon forget the inconveniences when they are sitting on a sunny beach while we are shoveling snow. But, for many, including

me, the thoughts of a Florida retirement have faded, and the thought of paradise found on a lazy stretch of beach is tempered with a fear of hurricanes and red tides. It also made me think that I wouldn’t want to spend my final years far away from my children even if it did include a permanent sun tan and a pina colada. And, after many years of thinking about where I’d like to spend my senior years, I’ve accepted the fact that it will likely be right here. I’ve also learned that paradise is where you make it, and the beauty of a swaying palm tree and cool ocean breeze don’t necessary equate to eternal bliss.

destroyed homes and futures and misery made what many Americans consider paradise seem more like a nightmare. But, those salty sea breezes and near perfect weather will return and most who call the state home will remain or return. In their minds, the threat of a hurricane is not a fear that can outweigh the benefits of a Florida lifestyle. And many of my friends still pack up and head South at the first sign of frost.

JEAN BURWELL FORD Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, there’s a star named Jean shining bright in the sky. Jean Burwell Ford, age 83, FORD passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 18, 2018, surrounded by loved ones. Born in Hanover County, she was the daughter of the late Newton Burwell Jones

and Agnes (Lucord) Jones. She was a 1952 graduate of Washington Henry High School in Hanover County. Upon graduating from high school Jean entered business school in Richmond. During a 10-year tenure working in a dermatology practice, she met the love of her life, her future husband and the “luckiest man alive,” Wayne Emrick Ford. They wed in 1963 and moved to Virginia Beach. As a child, Jean found her voice, her singing voice, that is. A voice that earned her several awards and contest wins throughout the years and included one very special performance. After having won several singing contests to get to the finale, Jean performed at what was then known as “The Mosque” in Richmond before a representative of The Original Amateur Hour who was the Master of Ceremonies for the evening’s talent contest. Her performance garnered not one, but multiple standing ovations. She was offered the opportunity to travel to New York to appear on The Original Amateur Hour. However, circumstances at the time made it necessary for Jean to remain in Virginia, alas denying America the joy of experiencing her immense vocal talents. Jean’s love of flowers likely led to her passion for butterflies. In 1992, she was a charter member of The Butterfly Society of Virginia and spent years raising and releasing butterflies, namely Monarchs and Black Swallowtails. A nurturer by nature, Jean loved all animals, especially cats, and leaves behind her beloved Baby Cakes, as well as a family of three (neutered) feral cats she took under her loving care. Jean’s gift for caring extended throughout their neighbor-

hood, especially to the neighborhood children who called her Miss Jean, Grandma Jean and even Babushka. After being “called out” by member “Steve” for attending a lunch and not joining the club, Jean made it official and joined husband Wayne as a member of The Norfolk Sports Club, finding enjoyment and camaraderie at countless meetings and events for the remainder of her life. Jean will be sorely missed by fellow Thursday night dinner group members with whom she and Wayne had been breaking bread since 2011. Jean will most assuredly be remembered most, however, for her tireless dedication to the patients of the Sentara Leigh Comprehensive Breast Center at Sentara Leigh Hospital in Norfolk. A four-time breast cancer survivor, Jean began volunteering at the breast center in 1993 and completed over 5,100 hours of volunteer service. She participated in a breast cancer survivor support group and was beloved by the doctors, nurses, technicians and patients, hundreds of whose lives were touched and enhanced by her warm smile, empathetic understanding and the York Peppermint Patties she was known for always having on hand. On the morning of Thursday, October 18, 2018, she was awarded her 25-year service pin by Sentara Leigh Hospital president, Joanne M. Inman, in the company of many hospital staff members who came to celebrate and honor Jean, her achievement and service to the hospital. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Wayne E. Ford; her surrogate daughter, Stephanie Slatner,who is the mother of her namesake, Caroline Jean Slatner; surrogate son, Andy Carwile; and many loving

family members and friends. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, October 25, 2018, at the Norfolk Chapel of H.D. Oliver Funeral Apts. A Celebration of Life service was held at 1 p.m. on Friday, October 26, 2018, at Shady Grove United Methodist Church at 8209 Shady Grove Road in Mechanicsville. Burial followed in Forest Lawn Cemetery in Richmond. In lieu of flowers, Jean would have preferred you make a donation to a charity that benefits animals. Online condolences may be sent to the family through www.hdoliver.com.

MAYSVILLE JANE PAGE Maysville Jane Page, 78, of Boca Raton, Florida, formerly of Richmond, passed away on October 15, 2018. Jane was the daughter of the late Dr. Sidney Grey Page and the late Dr. Maysville Jane Page.

Erin Schroeder; and a cousin, Maurice Owens III. Jane was fond of saying that she had not yet decided what she was going to be when she grew up. She was a beautiful and very talented performer and began that career with many lead roles in musical productions, including some at Thomas Jefferson High School, Converse College and local productions in Richmond. In 1961, she earned the title of Miss Richmond. She also was the singer for the Richmondbased big band “The Continentals” for many years. Jane enjoyed needlework. Her smocking earned blue ribbons at state fairs. Most recently, she was part of a knitting group in Florida, where she knitted blankets for U.S. troops, prayer shawls and caps for newborn babies. Jane also was an entrepreneur and small business owner. She owned and operated a mail order business, “Little Elegance,” which supplied materials for English smocking, including many smocking plates that Jane designed. She also opened and operated a shop, “Kiddie Korral,” in Richmond, which sold children’s clothing. Later in life, Jane had a career as a real estate broker and also became a certified gemologist. Jane will be remembered for her generous spirit, her smile that would light up the room, her sparkling sense of humor and personality, as well as her love for “bling.” In her retirement, Jane enjoyed living in Boca Raton, where she was referred to lovingly by her friends as “Madame Social Director.” Her last years of life included Mahjongg games, weekly Bingo (where she was famous for playing six cards at once), a knitting group, watching the stock market, and visiting her beloved children and grandchildren. All are welcome to attend her graveside service, which will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday,

Kelly-Wiecek to take part in Higher Ground Conference Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com HANOVER -- Chickahominy District Supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek will be participating in the 12th Annual Higher Ground Women’s Leadership Conference sponsored by the Grace E. Harris Leadership Institute. The one-day conference will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 2, at the Greater Richmond Convention Center. It examines the experiences of all women on the personal and professional spectrum by providing a space where they can translate the contributions of self to wider society. This year’s theme, “The Power of Collective Action: Shifting the Leadership Culture,” provides a game plan for capitalizing on women’s unique strengths for communal action. An agenda and conference details can be found at https://www. gehli.vcu.edu/conference/.

Kelly-Wiecek will be part of the Women in Politics Panel, which will focus on best practices and resources for women thinking about running for state, local and community leadership positions. She will join Chesterfield Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Leslie KELLY-WIECEK Haley, Associate Chair of VCU’s Department of Political Science Alexandra Reckendorf, VCU’s Legislative Liaison from the Office of Public Policy Outreach Jordan Stewart, and Radford University’s Interim Director of International Education Dietra Trent. “Our community is stronger when women fully participate in community leadership and the political process. I

want to do all I can to encourage others to get involved and positively influence issues that impact Hanover, the Richmond Region and the great Commonwealth of Virginia,” Kelly-Wiecek said. “I believe women can lead the way in encouraging civil discourse, listening to understand rather than listening to respond, and building on common ground. As such, I am very excited about The Higher Ground Conference and our potential to inspire more women to seek and successfully obtain community leadership positions.” Kelly-Wiecek is the immediate past chair of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors and the Greater Richmond Partnership.

Wittman updates supervisors on issues affecting county By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER – U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman, R-1, made an appearance at last Wednesday’s Hanover County Board of Supervisors meeting to present a Capitol Hill update. First elected in a special election in 2007, Wittman is seeking re-election in Virginia’s 1st District in the Nov. 6 mid-term election. Wittman focused on four major areas, all affecting Hanover County in a direct manner, including CTE (Career and Technical Education) training and funding, Chesapeake Bay TDML (Total Maximum Daily Load) and storm water regulations, broadband and transportation funding. The district representative said the Metro system in the Washington, D.C., area is a tri-state agreement that envisions the system becoming selfsufficient in the coming years. “I know Metro does have an effect on state transportation funding,” Wittman said There have been concerns raised by Richmond area localities regarding

the road funding flowing to Northern Virginia and Tidewater leaves communities like metro area counties with few options to fund vital road needs. Wittman acknowledged that federal funds are used for Metro issues, including safety upgrades, but said “The thought has always been that Metro should be, at some point on the track, self-sufficient.” “They’re soaking up a lot of transportation funds,” said Wayne Hazzard, South Anna District, a former chair of the VACo’s (Virginia Association of Counties) transportation committee. “It’s a tractate agreement and, ultimately, the funding comes from the states. I know there have been concerns about how much that takes away from transportation efforts in other portions of the state,” Wittman said. “So what’s happening is that we have two areas, Northern Virginia/ Tidewater, that end up soaking up a lot of transportation funds,” Hazzard said. He noted that Northern Virginia has a leg up to their ability to use fuel tax and establish authorities that give

the a “leg-up” when competing for state transportation funds. Hazzard said VACo decided to begin lobbying the federal government to help in those areas. “You’re right, it does create a challenge for the Richmond area and transportation projects around here,” Wittman said. As for the Chesapeake Bay requirements under the Clean Water Act, Wittman said -- thanks to a bill he introduced and was passed

-- localities can now actually access information on how these various programs are working, how much they cost, and results of the cleanup and storm water management efforts. “This will provide transparency as to how the money is being spent,” Wittman said. Noting that many of Virginia’s problems with the bay emanate from rivers upstream like the Susquehanna, and it’s important to see how efforts in those areas are performing. Vice chair Canova Peterson, Mechanicsville District, said it’s important to monitor what goes into the bay, but also relevant to study what’s coming out. Virginia has the number one clam oyster aquaculture business in the nation. Wittman said the recently passed Carl D.

Voters urged to support Waters in Senate race I want to urge the voters in Hanover to consider a different course this election. Cast a vote that will matter: A vote that will open up the politics in the Commonwealth. A vote against mean and hateful ads. A vote for more contested elections. A vote for elections filled with ideas and civil policy differences. A vote for liberty! That is a vote for the Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate, Matt Waters. Waters has been up and down the Commonwealth speaking to issues as the spiraling debt, trying to re-inte-

number one challenge facing businesses today. Wittman described broadband as the conduit to commerce and told supervisors that over $1 billion is dedicated to assisting communities with no service to obtain broadband. “This is about making sure we bring that technology into unnerved areas, and making sure the technology is upgradeable,” Wittman said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will manage the program. Details on how to apply are pending, but Wittman said he would update county officials on the application process. “We are glad to work with you to put in letters of support for your applications as you try to bring those dollars here and I urge you make sure you get Hanover County’s fair sure of those dollars because you have the population and need here to apply those dollars and have some impact,” the congressman added. Chickahominy District supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek said she hoped the qualifying factors for that

grate those who paid a debt to society back into the work force and as voters, criminal justice reform, and liberty in general. Moreover, if Waters can garner 10 or more percent of the vote in the U.S. Senate, the Libertarian Party of Virginia can gain major party status and this would allow the party to place candidates on the ballot, especially in cases where there is only one choice on the ballot as have occurred throughout the Commonwealth, including Hanover County. Also Libertarian statewide candidates can run without expensive petitioning. If you are a Republican and cannot in good conscience vote for your standard-bearer, the down ticket races need your vote. So vote for a great

see WITTMAN, pg. 24

cause and a great candidate: Vote Waters in 2018. If you have not voted in an election or two because the choices are just too mean and hateful -- vote for issues and policy. Vote Waters in 2018. If you are a Democrat and are not crazy about your standard-bearer, vote for a change. Vote Waters in 2018. Hanover can help make the difference. It is critically important to open up the political system. The best choice is Matt Waters for U.S. Senate. Maybe Wednesday morning, could be a great surprise: Waters wins! Even if Waters does not reach the office but gets 10 percent of the vote, we all win. Elwood Earl “Sandy” Sanders Jr. Mechanicsville

Traffic alert issued by APD for South Center Street on Halloween Staff Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND -- Due to an overwhelming number of visitors to the Center Street corridor in past years, South Center Street in the Town of Ashland will be closed to vehicular traffic from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Halloween night. This closure will be from Stebbins Street south to Francis Street. Both the Francis Street railroad crossing

and Myrtle Street railroad crossing will be open to all traffic. “In past years, many of our homes on this street have seen over 600 children trick or treating. Coupled with a high volume of motor vehicle traffic and the everexisting train traffic, a significant public safety hazard was presented. It is hoped that this road closure will greatly improve the safety of this corridor while we have so many young visitors going door to door,”

Officer Chip Watts of the APD said. The Historic District Neighborhood Watch is providing volunteers for this effort to serve as ambassadors to the area and to ensure the safety of all visitors. As has been in the past, the Ashland Police Department also will have a presence in this area as well as all other residential areas in town. see TRAFFIC, pg. 17

Science dominates as surface exploration of Mars continues By Dr. George Spagna Special to The MechanicsvilleLocal Our last column was in September – doesn’t time fly when we’re having fun? I suppose I could blame the lack of an October column on all the robocalls leading up to the election, but the reality is that it just slipped by me! Planets have been in the science news of late, so let’s see what’s new. Curiosity continues to perform its job of surface exploration on Mars. It hasn’t moved terribly far, since it keeps stopping to do science. They’ve analyzed soil samples (similar to

terrestrial basalts – i.e. volcanic rock from places like Hawaii), tested the atmosphere for methane (not much, if any), and measured the isotope ratios in atmospheric gases. They’ve found that slightly more of heavy isotopes of carbon are present in the carbon dioxide than in terrestrial CO2. This suggests that the currently very thin atmosphere (about 1% the den-

sity of our atmosphere) is the remnant of one once denser, and that the loss of gas was from the top of the atmosphere rather than being trapped chemically in the solid surface, because the lighter molecules would be more likely to escape at high altitudes. The Cassini probe at Saturn detected a huge “belch” of methane in a storm which carried warm

gas from the interior to the cloud layers. This gas was several hundred degrees warmer than the clouds it penetrated. Planets in the Alpha Centauri system are a long popular trope in science fiction – I can’t tell you how many novels I’ve read which include them! Now we know of at least one! A roughly Earth sized planet is orbiting Alpha Centauri A, an essentially Sun like star only 4 light years away. Before you pack your bags for a visit, it’s extremely close to its star, and the surface is likely to be molten rock rather than solid. see SCIENCE, pg. 17

Last August, observers using the Kepler probe announced the discovery of a pair of planets orbiting a pair of stars! Kepler 47 is a binary system which includes two stars. One is a bit cooler than the Sun, the other is much cooler and smaller. One of the two planets orbits in the so-called habitable zone, i.e. where the temperature would be close to what we find on Earth. However, these planets are probably more like

Because pedestrian injuries are the most common injuries to children on Halloween, remind Trick-or Treaters remain on well-lit streets and always use the side-

SCIENCE Continued from pg. 17

month, about two hours after sunset you will find the Milky Way dividing the sky from northeast to southwest. Deneb and Vega are the two bright stars to the west of zenith, with Altair to the southwest marking out a rich triangle. Near Vega, a clear night and steady hand with binoculars may enable you to see the Ring Nebula. This is an example of what will happen to our own Sun in another five billion years â&#x20AC;Ś as the fuel in the core is used up, the outer layers will eventually be expelled into an expanding planetary nebula. To the east of zenith, look for the Andromeda Galaxy, a faint smudge to the naked eye. This is actually a galaxy much like our own, over 100 billion stars

yet dimmed by its vast distance of some 2 million light years. Even though it is the most distant object visible without a telescope, it is close by on the cosmic scale of things. Deneb marks the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tailâ&#x20AC;? of the constellation Cygnus. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;headâ&#x20AC;? is a faint binary called Alberio, which is one of the most beautiful pairs youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see. With a small telescope, one star glows a brilliant blue while the other is bright orange. Cygnus lies in the general direction of the Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orbit around the center of the galaxy, which lies in the direction of Sagittarius, which is just setting on the southwest horizon. Just rising to the east is bright Aldebaran, in the constellation Taurus. This is a harbinger of coming winter. By monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end we will see Orion rising at this hour.

Fearnow-Kenney, Hubbard, New Song UMC named Harris Award recipients HANOVER -The Hanover Community Services Board recently honored several outstanding community advocates with the 2018 Jean C.

In addition to her advocacy for children with special needs, Fearnow-Kenney also is a champion for healthy, drugfree families across Hanover. “Dr. Mel”, as she is affectionately known to the substance abuse prevention community, has been a longtime supporter of Hanover Cares, the local substance abuse prevention coalition. She translates complex data analysis into realworld programs and helps Hanover Cares tell its story using evaluation, skills which have helped to leverage over $750,000 in prevention funding for Hanover County since

Hawks bog down Armstrong in 24-0 win By Jonathan Howard For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – With a pouring rain coming down and no relief in sight, Hanover coach Derek Stoudt had a very simple game plan for his Hanover Hawks against Armstrong on Friday night. “Run the ball, keep the ball on the ground, take care of the football, don’t turn it over and run time off the clock,” Stoudt said. The simple plan turned out to be a winning one. Sophomore running back Eric Rankin rushed for 123 yards and a pair of touchdowns and senior quarterback Tyler Elrod added 119 yards and a score in a 24-0 victory. With an assist from the offensive line, the backfield duo had plenty of room to work with all night, especially in the first half when all three touchdowns were scored. “They played great up front. That’s a group that’s really jelled as the year has gone on. The last four games they’ve played really well together,” Stoudt said. They know each other, they know what kind of calls we’re making and we’ve got two guys in the backfield that can make plays with the ball. It’s starting to come together really nicely run-game wise.” Hanover (3-6) received the ball to start the game, and after a rough start that included a

The Mechanicsville Local

SPRINGFIELD – Patrick Henry’s Jessica Rathbone was disappointed with herself. Judging from her assessment of her own performance, one would have thought she had meltdown on the final round of the VHSL Girls Open at Springfield Golf & Country Club Tuesday. The fact was, her final round score was virtually identical to her first round score – a 75 as opposed to a 74, for a remarkably consistent two-day score of 149. But two of her competitors had significant improvements over their first round scores, and they leapfrogged her to take the top two spots in the state. Great Bridge’s Kendall Turner improved seven see RATHBONE, pg. 28

Varina puts stranglehold on Atlee offense By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local VARINA – The Atlee Raiders left Varina High School Friday night thoroughly soaked, but not muddy, thanks to the new synthetic turf field debuted this season by the Blue Devils. One thing the pristine surface cannot do in a downpour, however, is make the football any easier to hold. On a night where the rain came down so hard at times teammates had a hard time seeing each other, the pigskin fell to the turf on at least 10 occasions between both teams. When Varina held onto the football, however, they took full advantage, scoring all five of their touchdowns in the first half en route to a 35-0 win over Atlee, the Raiders’ third loss in four games, all coming to ranked teams from the Capital District. Not helping matters was the absence of starting quarterback Tyler Warren. The junior did not play, and reasons were not disclosed. His availability for Atlee’s regular season finale against rival Hanover is uncertain. Warren’s replacement, Kody Ohl, struggled against the elements and the Blue Devil defense, which on multiple occasions met Atlee’s intended ball carrier as he received the handoff from Ohl in the backfield. The Raider offense man-

ended it with a head-over-heels flip across the goal line. The Hawks’ opening scoring drive ate up over half the first quarter. Stoudt said ball control was imperative in order

Justin Stafford – rather than the weather – actually forced a fumble, stripping an Atlee ball carrier to gain possession early in the second quarter. But moments later, the Blue Devils coughed it up, handing it back to Atlee. The Raiders, however, could never get offensive momentum, and Varina made them pay. Johnson, from the Atlee 34, rumbled up the middle to the 5-yard line where he promptly fumbled the football. Bobby Dunn fell on it in the end zone for a touchdown with 3:20 left in the half. Less than two minutes later, junior Brysen Ross scored on an 8-yard run to up the lead to 28-0. The costliest fumble of the game belonged to the Raiders, who lost the football at their own 13 on their next possession. Linard Scott picked up the ball and headed for paydirt, scoring with 1:19 left. It was 35-0 to make any Atlee secondhalf comeback unattainable. It was the last score of the game. Tucker Bratton led Atlee with 36 rushing yards on eight carries. Carter Nash earned 29 yards on seven carries, while Keith Green was limited to 18 yards on ten carries. Johnson only completed 2-of-4 passes Nick Liberante for The Local for Varina, but both were big Atlee’s Isaiah Abel gets free for an apparent 24-yard gain, but the run was nullfied by a holding penalty in Varina’s 35-0 win Friday. plays earning 94 yards total.

middle of the line, and scoring from 31 yards out. Armstrong’s next drive began with a long run, but would once again end in a turnover on downs. The Hanover offense likewise rewarded the efforts of the defense, finding paydirt just before halftime with a 3-yard run by Rankin.

Playing from behind, Armstrong was able to find no traction in the second half. Thomas finished with 96 yards on the ground, but only completed three passes for negative yardage. “The conditions helped us out a ton when it comes to that aspect of it. You watch them

Weather no obstacle in Henrico romp at L-D By Daniel Fritz For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – It turned out that the Lee-Davis Confederates would have to deal with a lot more than just the unfavorable weather conditions in their home finale on Friday night. The Henrico Warriors entered the game looking to prove they are one of the area’s top teams and a viable state champion contender. The game’s start time was moved up two hours to 5 p.m. in hopes of avoiding the worst of the field conditions that were to be expected that night. The cold rain that blanketed the region persisted throughout the contest. Unfortunately for the Confederates, neither the weather nor their play was enough to slow down a seasoned Henrico squad, who cruised to a 61-6 victory. Despite several of the Warriors’ key offensive weapons not dressing against the Confederates, including quarterback and Florida-commit Jalon Jones, the Warriors brought plenty firepower to bear. Backup quarterback Hayden Vozar threw for 145 yards and two touchdowns against the Lee-Davis defense in very unfavorable passing conditions, but it was the ground game that made a statement. The Warriors were led by

The Warriors defense added a second touchdown to their repertoire when cornerback Lamontre Satterwhite intercepted a Lass pass and returned it 10 yards for the score later in the first quarter. On the other side of the ball, Vozar executed two welldesigned wide receiver swing passes for touchdowns. The first was to Justin Goode going in from 47 yards out, and the latter to RaQuan Barksdale for 56 yards. As mentioned, the Warriors cashed in on three long touchdown runs by Harvey, Eric McDaniels, and John Neal, respectively., the longest of which was an 80-yard score by McDaniels, who went straight up the middle of the Confederates defense to give the Warriors a 33-0 lead in the second quarter. As for the Confederates, their lone bright spot came in the early minutes of the fourth quarter with a running game clock.

strokes on the second day to finish at 147, and Granby’s Rebecca DiNunzio improved six strokes to finish at 148 – both just a hair better than the Patriot sophomore managed. “I hit the ball a whole lot better today,” Turner said. “I hit a lot of greens and made some putts.” The combination of more familiarity with the course and more player-friendly temperatures – the starting of the opening round Monday was delayed because of frost – helped Turner the second day. “I played so much better

HENRICO – Two county field hockey teams lived to play another day, while the other two saw their seasons end in shutouts in regional field hockey action last week. Atlee and Lee-Davis, both competing in the Region 5B tournament, won their quarterfinal games: the second-seeded Raiders came back from a halftime deficit against Glen Allen to win 2-1 at Douglas Freeman Wednesday night, while LeeDavis’ Lilly Lutton, in what was possibly the shot of the night, slapped in a rebound at 8:27 in overtime to lift the No. 5 Confederates to a 2-1 victory in their quarterfinal at Hermitage. Lutton said she followed up on advice from Lee-Davis head coach Merridee Gibson. “Merridee’s been telling me to slap the ball in and she told me that I would get us a goal,” Lutton said. “I saw the ball coming and I just full-force slapped it into a corner.” When the sound of the

today, like I felt so much more comfortable,” she said. Rathbone knew she couldn’t really complain about how she finished, but she had reservations about some aspects of her play, such as her bogey on the final hole of the tournament. “I just chunked my first shot about 10 feet short of the green. My chip was not good,” Rathbone said. “My putt was all right – it was mediocre.” Then there was her performance on the fifth hole both days. “I went into a hazard both days. I could have chosen different clubs and got par,” Rathbone said. Instead of changing things up Tuesday, she went the consistent route.

ball hitting the wood in the back of the goal rang out, the Confederates erupted in celebration. “It was amazing,” Lutton said. “I saw all my teammates running to me. It was the greatest feeling ever.” Lee-Davis went ahead early in the game on a goal by Brynn Gibson. Matoaca’s Annie Grace Louthan tied the game at the start of the second half. Atlee’s Sarah Reutti scored a goal to tie Glen Allen, then Reagan Kolb added the game winner in the Raiders’ comeback win against the Jaguars. Lauren Meyers scored Glen Allen’s only goal to give the Jaguars a 1-0 first-half lead. In Region 5C action, Charlottesville squeaked by host Hanover 1-0 Thursday night, while Patrick Henry fell on the road at Courtland 7-0. Both Atlee and Lee-Davis advanced to the Region 5B semifinals, which were held at Douglas Freeman Monday. LeeDavis faced top seed Deep Run, while Atlee faced No. 6 Douglas Freeman.

“Same club, same spot on the tee, same swing – and same result.” Despite her grousing about the day, she said it has been a good year. “I’m happy with how I finished,” she said. Certainly the consolation prize – All State honors – was not too shabby. And she improved quite a bit over her 10th-place finish last year. Rathbone’s finish was by far the best from the metro area. The next best finish was a tie for 27th place by Midlothian’s Ester Choi. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

Ashland Train Day Guide October 31, 2018

Josh Grigsby and County Line is described as one of Virginia's fast-rising new bluegrass bands, and was awarded the 2015 Bluegrass Band of Virginia Championship by the Virginia Folk Music Association. The VFMA is the only organization in Virginia sanctioned by the Governor of Virginia to hold Virginia Bluegrass, Gospel and Country Music “Championship Contests” and to induct Virginia Artists into the VA Country Music Hall of Fame. In addition to winning the Band Championship, Josh Grigsby was voted first place Male Vocals and Judge Parker received third place Male Vocals. Members of the band are: Crystal Grigsby, vocals; Mark Mills, guitar and vocals; Whitney Perkins, dobro; Robert Kidd, bass; "Judge" Parker, banjo and vocals; and Josh Grigsby, guitar and lead vocals. The band's third CD, “Love, Life and Misery,” offers a mixture, of traditional, con-

temporary, original tunes, as well as some “grassed-up” country songs. The title came from an original on the album written by the lead guitarist Mark Mills and Tommy Valentine in the 1970s. Another original, written by Grigsby, is “You Can Call Me Lonesome,” which has a fast-paced traditional sound inspired by a friend’s recent break-up. The band’s previous CD, “Ruby Lane Memories,” has shown to be a fan favorite. The title cut was written by Crystal Grigsby and is based on true happenings at Josh's childhood home in Virginia. Two other originals are featured on the CD; one written by Josh Grigsby titled “It Happened to Me,” which is a gospel song he wrote as his own testimony. The other

original, “These Places,” was written by Judge Parker many years ago. The band’s first CD, “Changes in the Tide,” features many of the songs fans request. The title song was written for Josh's late father, who was a waterman in the Northern Neck of Virginia his entire working life. For more information about Josh Grigsby & County Line, call 540-376-2512 or email countylinepickers@ gmail.com. “Love, Life and Misery” and “Ruby Lane Memories” may be downloaded on Airplay Direct. Based in Beaverdam, The

Dust Cutters play traditional and contemporary bluegrass music, as well as bluegrass gospel music. Members have 50-plus years of bluegrass musical experience. The Dust Cutters regularly perform at fundraising events for the Ruritans and volunteer fire departments. The band also is available for private parties, festivals, weddings, and other functions. “We were delighted to be invited to participate in the 2018 Ashland Train Day,” band members said. “It's our way to help and give back to the community, as well as playing a high profile event. see BANDS, pg. 3

We hope to be asked to play in future events there.â&#x20AC;? Members are: Tim Blackburn, lead guitar; Kenny Atkins, bass; Melvin Dickerson, banjo; Dave Manley, mandolin; and Andy Balance, rhythm guitar. Members of The Little Birdies said they like to take their audiences â&#x20AC;&#x153;on a fun musical journey back in time, performing classic Appalachian bluegrass, gospel, folk, and country songs in a close harmony singing style.â&#x20AC;? They especially like to share songs that were made famous on the Grand Ole Opry in the 1950s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s. The Little Birdies band is based in Central Virginia, near to and motivated by the beauty, music and mystery of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Their music is inspired by the Carter Family, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, Hazel Dickens, and Doc Watson and Jean Ritchie. Alex Butterfield and Malcolm Pulley first performed together at the Galax Fiddlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convention â&#x20AC;&#x153;and people liked it!â&#x20AC;? They received

encouragement to continue performing together and it was then that the Little Birdies was born. Malcolm contributes several original songs to the mix and adds harmony to support the powerful lead vocals delivered by Alex. They support live music venues in the area, including the Ashland Coffee and Tea, which they describe as â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the best listening rooms in the state.â&#x20AC;? Marshall Johnson, program director for the Hanover Concert Band, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Train Day has always been an enjoyable concert for us. Sure, it is not in a concert hall and the audience is a very appreciative traveling group of people, but we have been part of this special day for about 12 years now.â&#x20AC;? He noted that the band, as long as it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raining, will be attired in bib overalls, red neckerchiefs and railroad caps. Johnson praised the organizers, saying they have â&#x20AC;&#x153;always been great to work with. This concert is our musical donation to Train Day and the Town of Ashland where we rehearse every week.â&#x20AC;? Founded in 1989, the band gave its first concert in 1990. Johnson said they have main-

tained a membership of from 35 to 45 musicians with an experience level from two to over 70 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have traveled throughout the Central Virginia area as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Musical Ambassadors for Hanover County.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Our live music exposes our audience to a variety of music. We have high school and college musicians in the band and with our seasoned veterans we play 14 to 16 concerts from mid-April to our annual end of the year Christmas Pops Concert in midDecember at the Hanover Arts and Activities Center in Ashland,â&#x20AC;? he added. Karla Bloom has been the conductor and music director since 1999. She was a high school music teacher and band director in New York before moving to Virginia. A flutist and a mezzo-soprano, she received her degree in music education from C.W. Post College.

ASHLAND TRAIN DAY What’s new for Ashland Train Day? By Lorie Foley Special to Ashland-Hanover Local ASHLAND — The 16th Annual Ashland Train Day is pulling into downtown Ashland on Nov. 3. To keep things fresh and interesting for repeat visitors and new visitors, Ashland Main Street Association is introducing new activities this year.

“Touch a Truck” “Touch a Truck,” sponsored by Randolph-Macon College, is a new area for kids. Little kids and big kids will enjoy seeing big equipment from Crane Masters, Ashland Fire Department and Junkluggers up close and personal.

Crane Masters, a Virginia company, fixes railroad tracks, picks up derailed train cars, repairs and maintains railcars, along with a host of big speciality lifting jobs. Junkluggers, a local Ashland company, is bringing one of their big green trucks to the “Touch a Truck” area. Junkluggers specializes in clean-up jobs with the goal of recycling and/or relocating items for folks in need. To round out the truck experience, the Ashland Fire Department is bringing a pumper truck.

These cameras are hugely popular with their 5 million monthly viewers from around the world on YouTube. Virtual Railfan is setting up a lounge at the Ashland Coffee & Tea for members who are making special trips to Ashland just for Ashland Train Day, but the lounge is open to everyone.

Seemingly innocent items commonly used by youth could actually indicate a substance abuse problem. Would you be able to recognize signs of substance use and effectively intervene? Do you know what a lottery ticket is used for, or what about a mason jar or a dryer sheet? Don’t know
