Businesses see value in Hanover County locations By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

ECHANICSVILLE – For the past 12 months, Hanover County has continued on a course of positive economic development, attracting a variety of new businesses and enhancing the county’s overall economic develTHOMAS opment outlook. With an award-winning school system, government

that welcomes and accommodates new business and supports existing ones and a growing viable workface, businesses of all sizes continue to eye Hanover as the right destination for their new ventures. “The last 24 months have provided some of the strongest economic development growth Hanover County has seen within the last 10 years,” Linwood Thomas, economic development director, recently said. Some of those developments included: Blue Bell Ice Cream, Hartfiel Automation, Publix, Northlake Commerce Center, General RV, Lansing Building Products, Red Rooster, Hobby Lobby, and Cascades. One of the biggest impacts

School calendar changed to make up for bad weather days ASHLAND -- Since the beginning of the school year, Hanover County Public Schools has used five inclement weather days due to two hurricanes and a major snowstorm. As outlined in the 2018-2019 HCPS school calendar, the following changes will take effect: Jan. 24 -- Full day (originally an early closing for a staff/faculty workday) Feb. 18 -- Full day (originally an early closing for parent-teacher conferences)

As a reminder, there are 10 inclement weather days built into the calendar to recapture lost instructional time and meet state requirements. Some of these days are designated as “banked” days where a makeup day is not required, while others are designated as makeup days. The first four inclement weather days are “banked” days that do not require a makeup day. Days five, six and seven are see WEATHER, pg. 31

was felt when Cascades reopened the Bear Island facility, restoring jobs for about 80 employees and reopening a

facility that represents a major portion of the county’s industrial base. “Cascades is one of the

biggest corporate announcements Hanover County has ever been a part of and when they take over operations

sometime in 2021 they will again be one of our largest taxpayers,” Thomas said. A major portion of those economic efforts focus on existing businesses and industries located in Hanover County. “The most critical asset you have in economic development is your existing industries,” Thomas said. “I am extremely proud that our team was able to play a small part in the expansion of over 40 existing industries this past year, which is almost double the number of expansion of 21 in 2017.” Thomas said the county enjoys a favorable position when new businesses consider Hanover as a potential location. see VALUE, pg. 15

Laws Committee, he held an educational session for his committee members to learn more about the Virginia Public Procurement Act, an issue very important to the Virginia engineering profession. Peace is known to work hard to understand the issues and to make sure his committee members also understand them. Surovell, representing Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford, has worked hard since 2010 when he was first elected to the state legislature to solve transportation problems along U.S. 1. He was elected to the House in 2010 and then elected to the Senate in 2016. As a state senator, Surovell has introduced legislation aimed at solving transportation problems on U.S 1 and has presented proposals for systematically adding funds yearly towards the Metro’s maintenance backlog. “Some of the most pressing problems we face in Virginia involve transportation and procurement issues,” Nancy Israel, executive director of ACEC Virginia, said. “These legislators are contributing solutions to solving the issue of our crowded roads and to building a quality environment. Both men represent leadership when it is badly needed.”

Publix hosts preview a day before first store opens in county By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE — On Friday, a day before Publix opened the doors on its newest store located in Brandy Creek Commons on Mechanicsville Turnpike, Hanover County officials and other interested citizens got a sneak peek at the latest edition to grocery shopping in Hanover County.

It’s the Florida-based company’s first venture into Hanover County, but 10 stores currently operate in the metro Richmond area. As groups of invited guests toured the new facility, first impressions were positive and officials said the new store provides shoppers with more options. State Sen. Ryan McDougle, a Cold Harbor resident, said

the new store is a welcomed addition for those residing in the area. “This location is in an area where those of us who have lived here forever have wanted a presence and I can think of no better presence than Publix — a great employer and community member.” McDougle also credited county officials with strategic planning that attracted the well-known chain to the area and said that reflects well on Hanover County. “We’re ecstatic that Publix is opening here,” he said. “They’ve been a great community member in every jurisdiction that they’ve been

in from Florida to Virginia and they are a tremendous asset to Hanover County and, particularly, Mechanicsville.” Tim McDermott, president of FeedMore, said that community presence extends well beyond fresh baked bread and great customer service. He said Publix donated $100,000 to FeedMore that allowed the agency to purchase two mobile food delivery trucks and also assists the group with its food collection efforts. “They’re a member of our direct store pickup program so local agencies that are near this Publix will be able to come

1930 with the philosophy of being involved as responsible citizens in our communities,” Reynolds said. “Through our support of education, we strive to enrich the lives of students and assist in preparing them for future success.” Additionally, the company introduced its Publix Partners program in Virginia, an effort that assists schools with financial support, a program that raised $1.7 million last year and more than $34 million since its inception in 1994. Reynolds said Publix believes in community service and a philosophy of giving back. She told the group of invited guests of an incident when founder George Jenkins was once asked how much he would be worth if hadn’t given so much money away. “Probably nothing” was his response. Store manager Lester Eytchison said the Mechanicsville job is a dream come true in his career path. “This is the store I wanted.” Like many of the managers working the reception, Eytchison is a Florida native who began his career at Publix, worked his way up, and wound up in Richmond. “It’s the only job I’ve ever had,” he said. The majority (100) of the 130 new associates, however, are locals, and Eytchison said 3they are beginning a path that will lead to their assumsee PUBLIX pg. 31

FeedMore collects and provides no-cost food for citizens in 34 counties and towns through a variety of local agencies, including Shiloh Baptist Church. McDermott said Publix is committed to projects like the one he heads. Before Publix opened its first store in this area, it brought 100 associates to the FeedMore headquarters for a workshop and public service project. “They’ve been wonderful,” McDermott said. Cold Harbor supervisor Scott Wyatt said the new opening provides citizens increased options regarding grocery shopping and pharmacy needs. “This is great for Hanover County,” he said. “Publix is a great community partner and we truly appreciate their investment in Hanover County.” The pre-opening reception provided the perfect opportunity for Publix to display that community support by donating $2,500 to the Hanover Education Foundation. Media and Community Relations manager Kim Reynolds said community involvement and support of local schools is a company staple, installed by founder George Jenkins, who opened the first store in 1930. “Publix was founded in

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

he week before Christmas was busier than usual around the office -- early deadlines to help with the press runs and preparing for vacation. With a staff of six, including yours truly, the news/sports operation was in overdrive. But something was amiss the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 18, with the sudden and compelling need to call a longtime friend. Personal calls are usually brief around here, especially during a frantic seasonal rush. Nonetheless, I grabbed my personal mobile and called. The distress in her voice was immediate. I knew she and her family had faced some financial struggles in recent months, but I had no

idea to what extent. She broke into tears and her voice was shaking. Alarmed, I tried to calm her down to learn how difficult her situation was as they prepared for Christmas. I had planned my holiday and the associated expenses, so I really didn’t know what I could do then. The conversation didn’t last long, but I got the gist of the severity of what was taking place. It weighed on me throughout the day. That evening, I was meeting some friends for a holiday dinner at a local restaurant. En route, the thought crossed my mind: Do they have money for Christmas dinner? I was so distracted I drove about two blocks past the restaurant. As soon as I pulled into the parking lot, I tried

calling my friend. The call went to voicemail, so I ventured into the restaurant. She returned my call right after my friends and I were seated. I excused myself because I had to ask about her family’s dinner plans. “Do you have money for Christmas dinner?” I asked. In a soft, teary voice, she said, “No.” I asked what she would need and then told her I would send more than that. When I got home, I told my mother about the day’s calls and the urgency in needing to help. She too sent money. I am blessed and I thank the Lord every day. We never know what someone else may be experiencing. With my friend, I told her sometimes we have to put pride aside. There isn’t anything wrong with asking for help, and it’s certainly right to respond.

Tyler Trent’s story is truly one that will inspire By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist End of the year columns often reflect or offer perspective on the stories that inspired during the previous year, or recognize the many famous faces who departed during the previous 12 months. And there was an abundance of both during 2018. Familiar faces who shaped many of our lives, including a beloved president made their

final appearances this year, almost too many to list. Each and every one of them probably well-deserving of a single well-worded farewell. And inspiring stories? There was more than an ample amount of tales depicting heroic and meaningful acts, some changing just one life and many others touching the multitudes. As I make a mental list of the important stories of the year, or the memorable individuals who passed the previous year, it’s difficult to

Tyler Trent is a Purdue University sophomore who was diagnosed with bone cancer two years ago as he prepared to enter college. Fighting through grueling chemotherapy sessions, Tyler continued to return to campus, carefully plotting

his classroom destinations to accommodate his wheelchair. Trent became known as the Boilermakers #1 fan, and his bravery and tenacity was not lost on his classmates who soon recognized that Tyler was something special. Sadly, a cruel disease continued to take its deadly toll on the young sophomore, and, when football season began this year, Tyler had entered see INSPIRE, pg. 8

Date personal property taxes mailed at issue Thank you for the article on the Hanover County personal property taxes in the Dec. 19 issue. It dawned on me that we had not received our bill and turned our house upside down looking for it. How could we have missed it? Did I throw it away by mistake with the thousands of catalogs we received over the month or the other thousands of groups also looking for money? If we gave everyone a dime we’d be poor. So I tried to go online to find my bill and, of course, couldn’t remember my password. Clicked on “forgot password,” put in my email address and ... nothing. So, it’s Friday morning and I call the county, “Silly me, can’t find my bill.” The response was, “Well, they were not mailed until Dec. 14 and you should get it soon.” Are you kidding me? They’re due Dec. 31 -- technically -- but were not mailed until the 14th over the holiday mail season? Thankfully, I did get my invoice to renew Southern Living as our subscription expires October 2019. Robert Bradshaw Mechanicsville

hospice care for his terminal illness. Through it all, Tyler’s dedication to this team never wavered and when his Boilermakers faced a daunting task in a seemingly unwinable game with powerhouse Ohio State, he may have been the only guy on campus that believed his underdogs had a chance at an upset. Tyler predicted a win and the team invited him to the game, made him a special part

LETTERS Continued from pg. 6

These men did this in a very careful and professional manner. I deeply appreciate their help. Upon their leaving they were offered money but refused it. Instead, I was greeted with a heart-warming gesture to

of the pre-game ceremonies, and then took the field and watched his team as they delivered one of the most shocking and one-sided upsets of the season. The week leading up to the game had been a rough one for Tyler and his presence was not assured until late in the week. The victory was important to Purdue fans for the obvious reasons, but also for the joy it provided for one of its students. The smile on Tyler’s face and the tears on the faces of the many fans who learned of his plight following the game

spoke volumes about one fan’s commitment, loyalty and tough-as-nails attitude. When the season ended, the Boilermakers got an invitation to the Music City Bowl in Nashville. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay offered his jet to transport Tyler and his family to the game, and the quickly becoming most famous Boilermaker served as honorary captain. Now, the game didn’t go well for Purdue, which faced a talented Auburn team that put the pedal to the metal against the Boilermakers. Somehow,

that final lopsided score didn’t deter from the joy of a team and its number one fan and a season that will last forever in the minds of those who lived it. A few days later, Tyler’s struggle ended when he peacefully passed surrounded by friends and family. The joy and happiness enjoyed just a few days earlier now turned to grief and sadness, and only the message of Tyler’s last days could console. But, his actions on a few Saturdays this past football season will inspire others who are facing enormous challenge or

perhaps fighting the same disease. His courage and enthusiasm for life offer a message for all of us as we enter a new year, full of hope and promise measured in daily doses. Perhaps, Tyler said it best in a letter he published shortly before the holiday season. “Though I am in hospice care and have to wake up every morning knowing that the day might be my last, I still have a choice to make: to make that day the best it can be. To make the most of whomever comes to visit, texts, tweets or calls me. Yet, isn’t that a choice we

all have every day? After all, nobody knows the amount of days we have left. Some could say we are all in hospice to a certain degree. So why don’t we act like it? Where is your gratitude? This Christmas, what are you thankful for? I had to write my will recently, and I’m just thankful I can give my family Christmas presents, maybe even for one last time. Let’s not forget my doctors gave me three months to live almost two-and-a-half months ago. So why can’t we live grateful lives? Why can’t we make every day count like it’s the last?”

“Have a Merry Christmas”. I consider their help as a very fine Christmas gift. I certainly hope that these men and their families had a very Merry Christmas and their New Year to be the greatest they have ever had. Thank God for these warm-hearted folks. Roger Frankey Mechanicsville

Time to balance the scales of justice

if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? -- Luke 11:45-52 Then answers on of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproaches us also. And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! For ye lack men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one

of your fingers. Woe unto you! For ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them and ye build their sepulchres. Therefore also said the wisdom of God. I will send prophets and apostles and some of them they shall slay

and persecute. That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation. Woe unto you lawyers for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye entered not of yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we look to attract new industries, our strategic location on the Eastern Seaboard lends itself well for logistics and distribution operations, but we must continue to work to attract advanced manufacturers, and technology-based companies along with middle office opportunities.â&#x20AC;? And recent developments on Interstate 95 will have a positive impact on the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development and allow increased opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though Ashburn, Virginia, will remain the data center capital of the world, Hanover should position itself to take advantage of some of these data center opportunities as we will see more interest in the Richmond Region in the years to come,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Facebook data center announcement in Henrico was just the start.â&#x20AC;? Thomas attributes the recent successes to the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness to work with new and existing businesses, but, more importantly, points to a positive working relationship with local government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hanover County Board of Supervisors has been extremely supportive of our efforts to attract new industries since my arrival in early 2017,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through their leadership and support we have been able to put together several major wins for the county over the last 24 months, including Cascades, which will eventually generate millions of dollars for the tax base.â&#x20AC;? Thomas said the county is not giving away the bank to attract new players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also think the citizens would be extremely proud as the county has remained conservative when negotiating incentives and has insured there are checks and balances in place so that no funding is provided by the county until at which point in time the company has made the promised investments in Hanover.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a plan that is working regarding economic development, and Thomas said that plan should serve Hanover well into the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe, based on our Comprehensive Plan, we can grow effectively in our Suburban Services Area over the next 20 years from an economic development perspective,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hanoverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s model is â&#x20AC;&#x153;healthy sustained growth,â&#x20AC;? with a true emphasis on the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;healthy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that development will not occur in other parts of the county but the bulk is slated for the SSA.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is very important to note; since our SSA is only a small portion of the entire county, we have to be very good in that area to attract the best companies and generate the most revenue for our tax base.â&#x20AC;? Thomas said his department would continue to rely on a variety of tools to achieve those defined development goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2019, our department will continue to build upon the Strategic Zoning Initiative and advance key sites that will attract major corporate investments both in the near and longterm,â&#x20AC;? he said. All of that takes place in a department that well understands the importance of existing industries and businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will continue to make our existing industries a top priority and work to address challenges that business face so they can be more competitive,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. It also means the county is becoming a competitor when industries search for new locations or areas to expand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hanover County has a .5% industrial vacancy rate and that is a challenge as companies want to be in Hanover but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a place to put them.â&#x20AC;? Innovative thinking, continued focused effort by the EDA and cooperation with local officials also could provide answers to that problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our department will work with our board of supervisors and the EDA to come up with creative solutions to address these challenges as well.â&#x20AC;? Looking back, Thomas said 2018 had its share of success stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, Hanover County has had an extremely successful year from an economic development perspective,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. That success also was evident on the state level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Virginia as a whole has announced some very large projects this year, including Amazon, Micron and Facebook to name a few -- even with success taking place across the state,â&#x20AC;? the director said. And how does Hanover stack up against other localities in the Commonwealth regarding economic development in 2018? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say that the county has performed in the top 10 percent of all localities across the Commonwealth over the last 12 months,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on our pipeline I believe that momentum should continue well into 2019.â&#x20AC;?

CIP public hearing set; council readies priorities list By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- Setting priorities for a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is easier said than done, and localities across the Commonwealth are required to update and revise CIPs on an annual basis. Last week, Ashland Town Council members heard a report by Assistant Town Manager Matt Reynal outlining projects currently listed on several priority lists — one from the Planning Commission, another from staff and preliminary listing by council. In the end, priorities set by council are the ones that take precedence and will

guide the town regarding future financial decisions and serve as a blueprint for public improvements and projects. Reynal’s report did reveal what some council members perceived as a minor disconnect between the three entities, and -- although many of the projects REYNAL appeared on all three lists -- their orders of priority differed. “Once we go through this process and

you determine whether or not you want to go through the ranking process again, then I will update the individual projects to reflect council’s priorities,” Reynal said. “At the end of the day, council’s priorities end up being those that are listed as priorities. These are Planning Commission recommendations to you and now your priorities will alter that recommendation,” Town Manager Joshua Farrar said. There were overlaps in the three priority lists, and some items council had prioritized didn’t make the list on the Planning Commission and staff priorities. For example, seeking solutions to

Talks continue on affordable housing By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- Ashland Town Council heard its third and final presentation regarding affordable housing in the Ashland and Hanover County areas. During the Dec. 18 regular meeting, Town Manager Joshua Farrar presented the final installment of a series designed to inform, educate

and provide possible paths forward for dealing with low income housing and how best to assist residents in finding affordable habitats. Farrar offered a recap of the previous two meetings, including additional data and current code and Comprehensive Plan guidelines. Following the last presentation, Farrar emphasized the see HOUSING, pg. 17

importance of community input regarding this issue, but the response has been limited. “Feedback, thus far, has been limited,” Farrar said. Circles Ashland has been involved during the process and a letter from Habitat from Humanity presented its take on the discussions regarding affordable housing. “I think we do need to focus on hearing from a more broad section of our community,” Farrar said. He told members he would like to see the same kind of public input that facilitated a

workable Comprehensive Plan and how that input is needed when addressing affordable housing. “This is a topic that deserves that same level of input and vetting,” Farrar said. “I’d be hesitant for just the folks on this dais and a handful folks in the audience to chart a course. I’d love for it to be Ashland’s course, not just Josh’s course or town council’s course.” Farrar presented figures that confirmed a significant number of Ashland residents are experiencing cost burdens regarding housing. The Commonwealth recognizes housing that requires more than 30 percent of

the resident’s income as not affordable. About 35 percent of Ashland homeowners pay more than that figure for their homes. For those renting in the Ashland area, that affordable mark is even more difficult to achieve. The number of available units for rental or purchase also is low in the Ashland area, and Farrar said those units are quickly acquired and don’t stay on the market long. “Ashland is a wonderful place to live and people want to be here, but it’s very difficult to get in to our wonderful community,” Farrar said. Rental vacancies in the

town are estimated at about 1 percent. And there’s also the question of when government can help and what is the minimum income required to even qualify for affordable housing guidelines. Farrar said it’s important to establish that “floor” in order to proceed. “Should the town or the community or the region be able to provide housing for folks who are only making $10,000 a year. Right now, we don’t have it and should it be there,” Farrar said. “We need to decide where our decisionmaking point will be.”

Farrar also addressed the question of who is responsible for providing affordable housing in Ashland. “No one can ignore this,” Farrar said. “The regional approach is going to be a bit more effective, even though your energy base is going to come from local initiatives. It’s not in town’s best interest to go at this alone.” Farrar said it’s important to establish that floor figure before making decisions regarding the need for more affordable housing in Ashland. “I think there is a need for additional in Ashland, but

In attempting to answer some of the nagging questions surrounding the issue of affordable housing, Farrar said he is considering all options. “I’m trying to create a path, not a solution,” Farrar said. Considering a regional approach to the problem also is important. “I’d hate for us to take an action that was in opposition to the region’s approach,” Farrar said. The state allows communities to set their own definitions of affordable, but Farrar suggested sticking with those state numbers until regional data is available.

Going forward, Farrar presented a list of to-do items that included: Proceeding with a regional approach and plan to address affordability. Meeting with stakeholders to gather ideas on how to address the issue. Providing additional information to council members to continue the discussion and

gathering their feedback on the subject. “I’ve tried to tell you where I think we can go, but I don’t have a solution today,” Farrar said. Mayor Steve Trivett said he’s had comments thanking the board for their courage to address this issue. Council member Kathy Abbott said more research regarding what other towns are

doing about affordable housing is important to illustrate what can happen when nothing is done. “It’s hard to do it retroactively. Now is the opportunity,” Farrar replied. Council members received a letter from Hanover Habitat for Humanity addressing many of the points contained in the three-part presentation.

Interment followed in Signal Hill Memorial Park. Woody Funeral Home, Atlee Chapel, at 9271 Shady Grove Road in Mechanicsville was in charge of arrangements.

But keeping housing affordable is an area that the town can address, according to Farrar. “Now is the time to strike when it comes to keeping housing affordable,” he said. Farrar said that can be achieved through neighborhood partnerships, effective communication and the community working with local government.

R-MC women finding growth after injury By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – For the past two and a half years, the Randolph-Macon women’s basketball team could rely upon a dominating All American presence on the court: forward Kelly Williams. That changed in December on the first day of the Las Vegas Hoopla tournament when Williams went down with a devastating, season-ending knee injury For an offense built around Williams’ towering 6-foot-3 presence, it was potentially a devastating, season-ending blow. But it won’t be if the rest of the team can help it. Williams’ absence has forced the rest of the Yellow Jackets play like headliners rather than supporting acts themselves, and, while the results haven’t always paid off with wins, even the losses – such as an 81-77 overtime loss to Old Dominion Athletic Conference nemesis Washington & Lee on Jan. 2 – revealed the team’s resilience. That resilience was on full display against visiting Ferrum at Crenshaw Gymnasium Saturday as 11-of-13 Yellow Jackets scored in a 73-41 taming of the Panthers. One of the players having to step up on the floor is fellow forward Charlotte Woods who now has to create the oppor-

tunities that she and the others often counted on Williams to create for them. “The whole situation with Kelly, that took a toll on the whole team,” Woods said after her game-high 14 point effort against Ferrum. “When we

The Mechanicsville Local

January 9, 2019

came back from Vegas, when we started our first day back from practice, we all sat down and talked and we all just wanted to focus on trying to improve our game and coming together as a team to make sure that – now that Kelly is not able

to play – that we’re able to continue keep pushing forward.” Woods herself has begun to assert herself as a leader for her mostly young teammates. “I’m always there during practice, working my hardest, trying to push everybody else

so that – since before we relied heavily upon Kelly – we get the mindset that we can progress and do as well with and without her,” Woods said. Woods was that leader against Ferrum, nearly netting a double-double with nine

rebounds in addition to her 14 points. She tag-teamed with fellow forward Aimee Debell, who also had nine rebounds, with Debell getting six of her boards on the offensive side while Woods got seven of hers on the defensive end of the court. Three other Yellow Jackets scored in double figures: Lauren Lewis scored 12 points, while Elise Knobloch and Michal Ross added 10 apiece. Ferrum was led by Jasmine Barr with 13 points and Maggie Self with 12. Williams should return next year, as should most of the team – only two seniors, guards Jayla Wade and Kelsey Wisner, will graduate this year. The experience of finishing this year, especially going through the usually bruising ODAC tournament, without Williams should be a good growth experience for the rest of the team. “Everybody, including me, … now we have to think, like, it’s my turn to get some points and show everybody what I’m capable of doing,” Woods said. “Kelly’s amazing. Before, I felt like most things were geared toward her. They’ll see her and just lob it up and she was able to grab it down and put it in the basket. But now everybody gets a chance to prove their skills.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

Hawks get schooled on finishing on court MECHANICSVILLE – One team finished, and one did not. In each case it proved lessons learned by both the Hanover boys and girls basketball teams at home Saturday facing Region 4B rival Eastern View. For the boys, it began with scoring the first 10 points of the game and enjoying a 24-13 lead after a period. But by halftime, the Cyclones’ withering backcourt pressure wore down the Hawks, and Eastern View took a 39-37 lead to intermission. Everything that could go wrong for Hanover did early in the second half, from constant turnovers to lack of communication. A free-wheeling Cyclone offense, intent on breaking to the basket at every opportunity, built a 75-64 lead with just under three minutes left. The remainder of the contest, however, became Exhibit A in the textbook of why a team doesn’t quit. It began slowly, as Kion Murphy was fouled twice, and hit all four free throws to make it 75-68. After a Cyclone turnover, leading scorer Will Fahed drained his third 3-pointer of the half. Eastern View, who a possession earlier decided to run a set offense for the first time in the second half, committed a travel. D.J. Sims answered with a 3-pointer, and it was suddenly a one-point game. “I think we just started getting to our spots and started doing our assignments a lot more clearly,” Hanover head coach Darren Thornton noted. “I think the communication near the end started happening, where guys were talking to one another, and that made the difference.” Cole Wallace gave Hanover

(6-4) the lead for good on an inside basket. Then, after forcing a steal, Sims laid one off the glass for a 78-75 edge. Ten seconds later, the Hawks forced another steal, and the final points came at the free throw line, Hanover scoring the game’s final 19 points. Hanover was led by Fahed with 25 points. Sims finished with 22. The win provides momentum as the Hawks prepare to host rival Lee-Davis Friday. Can they put together 32 minutes of solid, consistent basketball? “We have to make sure we have a consistent practice,” Thornton said. “They have ups and downs in practice. We look great at times, and sometimes, we look like a total mess.” The Hawks will face a LeeDavis team that ended the week with a 95-56 thrashing of Clover Hill Friday. The Confederates jumped the Cavaliers in the first quarter, outscoring them by a margin of nearly 4-to-1, 35-8. Lee-Davis let up a little in the second quarter, allowing backups a significant amount of playing time, then continued the pummeling of Clover Hill in the third. “We got off to an extremely hot start with a couple different

starters in Tyler Berry and Dana Woodley filling in,” said LeeDavis head coach Chad Bishop. “Avery Fusco made his first six 3-pointers to pace all players with 24 points. ... In the second half Eli Jones took control scoring 19 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. “All in all I was very pleased with our effort and ability to put them away and give us a chance to really expand our bench to some [needed] guys in the future such as Cody Willet, Manny Booth and Bain Marsh. It was another great bounceback win after a tough loss to close our tournament out the week prior.” The Hanover girls team members who cheered on the boys to their comeback win left the Bird Cage Saturday wondering why they couldn’t have enjoyed a similar finish. In a back-and-forth affair with the Cyclones, the Hawks used a 14-2 run in a three minute stretch midway through the fourth quarter to take a 52-48 lead. At that point, the Cyclones worked at answering basket for basket, then chipping away at the short margin. After a Julia Mardigian basket, the Cyclones scored twice to make it 56-54

with 1:22 left. Sarah Johnson worked inside for two, but Eastern View answered with a trey. It was 58-57 Hawks with just 52.5 seconds left. A Cyclone steal and basket gave them the lead, then leading scorer Jordan Davis was fouled. Davis went 1-of-2 at the line to tie the game at 59. With eight seconds left, Eastern View buried a 3-pointer to seal the win, as a Hanover heave from mid court missed as time expired. Davis led the Hawks with 24 points, but Hanover (4-7) went 10-for-18 at the charity stripe in the second half, a costly performance. They hope to right the ship Friday when they host Lee-Davis at 6 p.m. Mechanicsville Local sports editor Dave Lawrence contributed to this report. Rob Witham can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Ashland’s downtown parking problem was listed as a Priority Level 2 item on the panel’s ranking but not prioritized on the other two lists while downtown sidewalks appeared as a Level 1 priority on all three lists. That project could integrate with a revamping of England Street and would be completed in stages. Public input will be an important part of the process for that streetscape improvement. Farrar said he envisions that project beginning with a study much like the one conducted when Ashland Town Hall options were considered. Projects that did not fall into Levels 1 or 2 Priority were listed as Vision items. Other items like the Fiber Network Build-out, Comprehensive Stormwater Management and downtown sidewalks appeared as Priority 1 on all three lists. Some of the projects in the presentation are fully funded while others have obtained partial or no funding at all. The projects were divided in to three categories: Parks and Recreation, Transportation Facilities, and Public Facilities. Mike Davis, Public Works director, said a variety of funding mechanisms are utilized to accomplish the desired results including state revenue sharing, SmartScale and a variety of Virginia Department of Transportation assistance that could help in funding several of the projects.

The long list of projects presented included Railroad Crossing improvements, town drainage issues, numerous road improvements, several new park proposals, and the acquisition of additional undercover space to store town vehicles and equipment. Items such as a North Ashland Park were priorities for the Planning Commission and staff rankings, but it was not included in the council’s final list. “I’m kind of surprised that North Ashland Park is Priority Level 2 for Planning and Priority Level 1 for staff and it’s not in either bracket for us,” council member Kathy Abbott said. “Are we missing something? Why is this a high priority for Planning and staff?” Reynal said that project missed council’s final list by only one point, and Farrar cited the need for a northern located park. “I really do think we have a deficiency of parks on the north side of town,” Farrar said. “This is something that has been in the Planning Department for a long time.” Mayor Steve Trivett said the park was prioritized when he served on the Planning Commission. “That was pre2005,” he said. There was obvious overlap regarding some of the projects. For example, Trails and Pathways was listed as priority by the Planning Commission and staff, council addressed it by including a Community Connector Trail on its priority list.

“I think you’ll see the Trails and Pathways project being a catch-all and then individual portions being pulled out for funding over time,” Farrar said. Farrar said there has been increased community interest in pedestrian safety and walkable, connectable communities. “I think Trails and Pathways is a great way to accomplish that,” Farrar said. With the Feb. 5 public hearing looming, council opted to re-examine the priority list and present those changes to Reynal as soon as possible. That final priority list will be compiled and considered at council’s Jan. 15 meeting. “I understand that potentially we could consider adjusting priorities in the Jan. 15 meeting and still make the Feb. 5 public hearing,” council member John Hodges said. Farrar said that would not present a problem if priorities were just adjusted and no additional projects were added. Hodges said he didn’t foresee additions but wanted to digest what he had learned from the presentation. He also said updated and improved cost estimates for the projects would be helpful. “I’m rethinking some things,” Abbott said regarding priorities. “I think, given this discussion tonight, that my priorities might have shifted,” suggesting that council members supply staff with revamped lists for consideration. “In the end, it’s council’s priority that comes out of this and it will give us the direction we need,” Farrar said.

lions, and this has contributed to the cost of living skyrocketing. The only difference between a bank robbery and a bankruptcy is the one making the demands. A bank robber, if apprehended, will be put in jail for only a few thousand dollars. The bankruptcy lawyers will rob for millions and even cost people their businesses, and then the lawyers will laugh

all the way to the bank. Matthew 7:15 says “To beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. A lawyer puts on a robe and becomes a judge, but he is still a lawyer.” They say that crime does not pay. In 2017, the Supreme Court of Virginia paid courtappointed counsel $59,113,496.

It is time that we the taxpayers -- consumers and businesses of all types -- come together and balance the scales of justice. Let’s set pay scales for lawyers that are robbing the people blind and put them out of business like they have been doing to others for too long. We are spending more taxpayer money for lawyers to defend law breakers and jail them than we are on

our schools, roads and bridges. Our courts have become a welfare system for lawyers. Greed is never satisfied. These lawsuits against the manufacturers of asbestos were counterproductive. In years past this was the only product available for insulation from heat, sound or electricity in all types of buildings and ships. The war effort in World War I

and World War II would have been greatly impaired without the use of asbestos. There are no goods and services that are beyond the destructive reach of lawyers. When will the Lord be dragged into court and sued for acts of nature such as a tree growing too close to the road where someone may drive off the road and get killed? Charles Talley Hanover
