Regional plan targets affordability issues By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER -- The mention of affordable housing conjures a variety of images and responses, some of them not as complimentary as others, but the problem is real and growing in the Commonwealth and across the nation. According to recent statistics, around 35 percent of metro Richmond residents are considered “costburdened,” paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Last week, Elizabeth Greenfield, Partnership for

Housing Affordability director, and Laura Lafayette, Richmond Association of Realtors president, presented a vision for a comprehensive regional plan that would address the problem in a variety of ways. “Fifteen percent are severely cost-burdened, paying more GREENFIELD than 50 percent of their income on housing,” Greenfield told the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. The

affected residents are evenly divided among renters and home buyers. Senior citizens also compile a large majority of affected cost-burdened homeowners. While the homes in which they currently reside may be paid for with equity available, the cost of transitioning to senior living can be expensive. Many of those seniors

ASHLAND -- Educators are constantly seeking new and innovative methods to teach traditional subjects or searching for new methodology that better prepares students for the future. Hanover County School Board members learned last week how two programs in Hanover County Public Schools are utilizing creative and nontraditional methods to teach English and mathematics. Some Geometry/Algebra students at Patrick Henry High School are exposed to new ways of thinking regarding problem-solving and some changes in the classroom that might buck some “old school” thinking. Mathematics curriculum specialist Ian Shenk outlined a program called Mathematics Workshop. “In short, the

mathematics workshop model takes an innovative approach to the traditional math sequence,” he said. Instead of a teacher beginning class by solving problems or a lecture, students are presented with problems that require creative thinking and problemsolving skills. “Unlike traditional classrooms where teachers do most of the math, the workshop model allows for students to be the ones actually doing the math,” Shenk said. “They talk with each other, work collaboratively, and have choice about the activities that they are going to complete,” he added. The model emphasizes collaboration, communication, creative problem-solving and critical thinking. Mathematics isn’t the only subject utilizing innovative methods to better prepare students for the workplace.

Curriculum specialists Ian Shenk and Tami Slater joined Hanover Center for Trades and Technology principal Justin Roerink for a special presentation to the Hanover County School Board regarding innovative programs in Hanover schools.

Justin Roerink, principal of the Hanover Center for Trades and Technology, said a new class called English for the Workplace is designed to provide students with real-life writing and communication skills. This class prepares students for real-life communication in the workplace or other professional settings.

Hines seeks re-election as sheriff HANOVER – For 35 years, David R. Hines has been serving the citizens of Hanover County as a member of the Sheriff ’s Office. In September 2010, he moved into the role of sheriff with the title of colonel. In announcing his candidacy for re-election, he said he is “continually appreciative of the outpouring of love and support we receive from our HINES community. I am extremely proud of our record of excellent service, being internationally as well as state accredited, being fiscally responsible, and being committed to the safety of our citizens.” Hines acknowledged the past leadership of his predecessor, Col. V. Stuart Cook “The foundation of our crime prevention strategy has been, and always will be, the trust and support of those we serve,” he said. Hines continues to attribute his department’s success

Peterson takes gavel as HCBOS chairman as Hazzard announces his retirement plans HANOVER -- A short organizational session marked the changing of the guard in leadership roles on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors during last Wednesday’s regular meeting. Mechanicsville supervisor Canova Peterson was selected by his colleagues to serve as chair for the upcoming year while Scott Wyatt, Cold Harbor District, was tapped to serve as vice chair. Both votes were unanimous. Outgoing chair and Henry District supervisor Sean Davis said the previous 12 months held moments of great joy and deep sadness for the county. He noted the passing of county employees, including firefighter Brad Clark. Davis commended the dedication and commitment of his fellow supervisors, noting that many began working in their communities long before they became supervisors. “The thing I can say about the board members I have served with is that they are out in the community constantly,” Davis said. He noted the extended effort and hours required to produce last year’s Comprehensive Plan Update, and recognized Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, for his outstanding service to the county and his commitment to keep Hanover safe. “As a strong public safety advocate, I want to say the safety in our community is due largely to the men and women of the Hanover [County] Sheriff ’s Office,” Davis said. “Supporting them and Fire/

EMS has been a top priority for me as well as this entire board.” Davis also thanked Commonwealth’s Attorney Tripp Chalkley for his dual

He said one of the goals of the board is to make sure “The last thing we do is anything that takes place inside the beltway,” and said local expectations of elected officials is higher.

role contributions to crime prevention and fighting. Davis noted the strong relationship between Hanover County Public Schools and the board of supervisors that resulted in funding for technological advances and a better understanding of what teachers, students and parents want from their education system. The board also has supported increased compensation for those employees. Davis cited economic successes in the past year that resulted in more jobs for Hanover citizens, including the reopening of Bear Island, which he credited to the efforts of longtime Beaverdam representative Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley. “He and the Economic Development department recognized the need to get that facility back open and worked with the folks in the private sector,” Davis said.

Peterson took the gavel for his second time in his twoterm tenure, and said he welcomes the opportunity to continue on a positive path that betters the lives of all Hanover County citizens. “I need to thank my fellow board members for putting me in this position. It’s quite an honor,” Peterson said. “To you and the citizens of the county, I promise to use my ears more than my mouth.” The Mechanicsville supervisor pledged continuation of a variety of projects currently endorsed by the board. He pledged continued cooperation with Fire/EMS and the Sheriff ’s Office, and said the board will work closely with school officials to make sure ongoing programs like technology are funded. He also expressed a commitment to meeting the needs of Hanover citizens who have special needs.

Peterson also noted that an important planning process regarding the county’s upcoming 300th is well underway. “We are establishing a plan for our big birthday,” Peterson said. “We have citizens from all over this county already working on the committee along with Mr. Wyatt and Mr. Stanley and are reaching out to other people around the community to have a year-long celebration.” Peterson thanked Davis for his leadership during the past year and presented him with an honorary gavel to commemorate his tenure. In other news, South Anna supervisor Wayne Hazzard announced he would not seek re-election to that position in June.

The two-term supervisor likened his relationship with Hanover County to a family and said leaving will not be easy. “This family relationship that I have been part of makes it that much harder to let this board and the citizens know that I do not intend to run for a third term on this board,” Hazzard told his fellow board members. By making the announcement early in the year, Hazzard said he hopes to allow candidates time “to get their names on the ballot.” Often positioned on different sides of the political arena, Ashland supervisor Faye Prichard expressed her appreciation of Hazzard’s work on the board. “When I spoke to Mr. Hazzard this morning, I told him I was so very sorry to hear his announcement because we’ve developed such a wonderful relationship that grew out of

respect for one another’s views and for the integrity I’ve seen in Mr. Hazzard,” she said. “I’ve appreciated the collegiality.” Hazzard said he will continue to serve on various boards and commissions through this year, and expressed appreciation to his colleagues: “Thanks to all my fellow board members for allowing me to be a part of the best board of supervisors in the region.” Stanley thanked colleagues, supporters and citizens for their gracious outpouring of sympathy and well wishes since his wife Ellen’s passing last month. “It’s been tough,” he said as he acknowledged the many cards and communication he has received since her death. Ellen Stanley was a dedicated volunteer in her community and a lifelong insurance agency employee with Erie. Stanley said her death has motivated a mission he will pursue for his remaining years. “Whatever time I have left, I ‘m going to work to eradicate cancer.”

Books, Beads and More owners move into Village Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE -After renting a storefront on Bell Creek Road since January 2012, Books Beads & More has moved into a bigger space, allowing for an expansion in offerings. Sisters Erin Schilling and Dr. Kelly Hagan and her husband Greg, who own the business, “stumbled upon a building that was for sale: Degoff 's Gun Shop, which had been a landmark in Old Mechanicsville for 46 years. Before that, this location had been a grocery store which served Old Mechanicsville.” The historic building at 8106 Mechanicsville Tpk. is located across from the windmill. This new location has allowed Schilling and the Hagan to make their small boutique style bookstore larger and more stylish. “We have been able to enlarge our book selection of primarily used books, including books for children of all ages (who get their own special corner of the store), cozy mys-

made by Greg. Together, the family created a business model that has grown enough to encourage them to purchase the new location, which features a relaxed and comfortable bookstore spotlighting Kelly and Greg’s necklaces, bracelets, cuffs, earrings, and a variety of beadable kitchen items. Books, Beads and More also has an eclectic collection of consignment items from local crafters. The store owners said they are proud to be able to support new crafters in their new enlarged space. Erin, Kelly and Greg added, “We are always looking for new artists to showcase.” For more information, call 804-730-2665.

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor

To grow or not to grow must be the question By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

hen we were notified that the official grand opening of Publix at 6603 Mechanicsville Tpk. in the Brandy Creek Commons shopping center in Mechanicsville was scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 5, we took a photo to announce the news on social media (we’re very active on Facebook and Twitter). Reaction was immediate – both positive and negative, and it wasn’t necessarily targeted toward the Florida-based store chain when the post went up on Wednesday, Jan. 2. When Publix first arrived in the Richmond area, I had an idea as to what to expect since I had shopped at one of the stores when I visited Amelia Island, Florida, several years ago. As of Thursday, Jan. 10, it had reached

15,178, engaged 6,648, and prompted 69 comments and 58 shares. Now that’s some serious interest. But, to clarify, at issue wasn’t specifically the addition of Publix to the community, but growth and development. As I’ve said here before, I support the efforts of county leaders in bringing in new business and industry. Restaurants also generated quite a bit of buzz on that thread. Five Guys and Mod Pizza are going in the plaza where Publix is located, and Chipotle and Panera is open at Hanover Square on Bell Creek Road. Zaxby’s is being built just down the turnpike from Publix. We love to boast about our school system, which needs a strong tax base to continue the renowned successes. I’m not sure what some folks expect when the topic of additional apartments and/or

townhomes comes into the conversation. Based on what I’ve been reading on our Facebook page, there seems to be quite a bit of concern. Without question, we all want a safe and secure county. That’s why it’s imperative the sheriff ’s office continues to coordinate so well with county neighborhoods. This is another example of how additional funding is needed to provide enough officers and equipment. The same goes for our Fire-EMS department. We are blessed across-the-board with our emergency services. In addition to the funding for county services, the employment opportunities are expanding for our fellow Hanoverians. Many of those who posted were adamant in the desire to retain a “small town feel.” Others urged using vacant storefronts instead of building new structures. That issue often comes down to attractive incentives

being offered by property owners to fill those spaces. As a Mechanicsville resident, who lives by the “Shop Local” slogan, I welcome any and all new businesses while continuing to support those that already exist. Economic development is booming -- and I encourage residents to get on board as we boost the county’s coffers. I believe it is possible to keep that small town feel while still experiencing beneficial growth. If we work with our county leaders -- as in take an active role in meetings and public hearings -- I’m confident we can reach common ground moving forward. Before closing, I want to note that Publix contributed $2,500 to the Hanover Education Foundation during the Friday, Jan. 4, preview event. These are the kinds of business partners our county needs and wants.

grams. (See Darrin v. Gould) What the ERA really does is prohibit insurance companies from giving preferential rates to women -who have statistically better driving records than men. What the ERA really does is force prison administrators to subject women to the same harsh conditions of prison life that men face, exposing female inmates to harm that could be avoided. What the ERA really does is strike down public decency laws that prohibit women from exposing their breasts in public while allowing men to go shirtless. Virginia should not ratify the ERA.

own homes valued at less that $200,000. “The cost of a new construction in a 55 and over community is about $340,000,” Greenfield said. About 27 percent of Hanover households are considered cost-burdened, according to Greenfield. It’s apparent that programs that might assist in downtown Richmond may not work well in Hanover County, but some county programs like the accessory dwelling unit provision allows older parents to construct small units on lots already occupied by family members. “You all have the only accessory dwelling unit ordinance in the region. We would really like to tee that up in Henrico and in Chesterfield as well,” Lafayette said. “PHA’s mission is to preserve and strengthen the region’s economic competitiveness by helping the communities in the region develop a wide array of affordable housing choices and also build strong healthy communities,” Greenfield said. The agency is a nonprofit guided by a board that consists of public private and nonprofit members, and the area covered mirrors the Richmond Regional Planning Commission. Greenfield said the agency has spent the last several years gauging just what the community needs regarding affordable housing and compiling a list of what is available in the area that could provide solutions. PHA is currently involved in a regional plan to address those and other issues and provide a gambit of options for communities to consider when addressing affordability, or sometimes called, workplace housing. Richmond Association

The plan seeks to raise awareness regarding affordable housing and hopefully close the gap, but, more broadly, define affordable housing as a vital community element and display its value to community leaders. Nest steps include gathering that data from Virginia Tech and engaging the community regarding various options. “We need to hear from them,” Lafayette. There will be open meetings in each of the jurisdictions. “This is the biggest community engagement that I’ve ever been involved with,” Lafayette said. While the plan is being developed, Lafayette said successful programs could be implemented where they could be beneficial. Vice chair Scott Wyatt, Cold Harbor District, asked if the program might be more effective in urban communities versus rural areas like Hanover. “We’re not suggesting a solution that works in an urban environment would necessarily make sense in any and all areas of Hanover,” Lafayette said. “I do think there are solutions in Richmond that might work well in Ashland.” Chickahominy supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek asked how private developers would be involved in solving problems like the senior affordable housing issue. “We have every intention of bringing the local homebuilders to the table,” Lafayette said. “The nonprofit community cannot build its way out of this. If anything, the for-profit developers have to be in this game with us.” Kelly-Wiecek said the plan is not intended to tell communities where they should put affordable housing. “This is a plan that would look at specific strategies to address the problem.”

Ashland supervisor Faye Prichard said affordable shouldn’t be confused with subsidized housing. “That’s not what we are taking about. We are talking about the best ways to make housing affordable for people who need to be in a stable living condition,” she said. “The goal here is to respect what communities want and need.” Lafayette said that’s the purpose of the aggressive public input process to listen to what people in the community want. “We want to hear from not the loudest voice in the room but the collective voice in the room.”

South Anna supervisor Wayne Hazzard said part of the problem is the negative connotation associated with the term affordable housing. “The name brings ire from people who automatically think it’s Section 8 housing. Maybe we need to work on a new name for what we are trying to accomplish.” While the name does not hold those same impressions for Lafayette and PHA, she did acknowledge the perception and the need to perhaps use other nomenclature like workplace housing to alleviate those preconceived notions.

of Realtors CEO and former PHA chair Laura Lafayette said a recent New York Times study cited Richmond as a city with one of the highest eviction rates in the country. This confirmed what experts already had established: a housing challenge existed in the region. Lafayette noted that eviction was just one element of a complicated housing problem and suggested a broader approach to the problem. “Stable shelter is an essential element of our quality of life,” Lafayette said. “It connects to everything in terms of positive outcomes in health, education and so many other ways.” To respond to the problem, PHA developed a regional housing plan in 2015 with a promise to update that data utilizing experts at Virginia Tech. That date is expected next year and Lafayette said she anticipates an increase in need for affordable housing. Additionally, “We want to develop a regional housing plan.” The plan would address all aspects of the problem, including homelessness up to market rate home ownership. “Our plan is going to look at the gambit of needs of the citizens in the four larger jurisdictions,” Lafayette said. “The idea is that each jurisdiction will have its own plan and then we’ll roll that up into a regional framework.” The plan utilizes a partnership with the jurisdictions and plans in one district may differ from plans in another county or area. Lafayette said it’s another tool for government to utilize when devising plans to deal with issue. Whether it’s providing important data or commission studies, the plan is “another resource for moving your agenda in terms of housing forward.”

Thinking about the education that keeps on giving By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I’m not sure what goes on at VCU these days, and there’s no doubt that things have changed drastically since I took my last stroll through the campus years ago. Admittedly, I haven’t been on campus since that final day of classes that spring long ago and I’m not sure if the more things change the more they stay the same applies in this case. As a mass communications major, most of my classes were journalism-related, and finding just the right electives to complement a busy schedule was essential to success. Those selections were made easier by campus word of mouth that always identified the best, and perhaps perceived easiest, must-take electives that would provide the highest grade with the least effort. In those days, two classes stood out in that list of desirable electives, Motion Picture History and Human Sexuality. In 1974, I signed up for the movie class. “You just go in and watch a movie each week. What could be easier?” one of my roommates boasted. The small auditorium on

Park Avenue was packed when I arrived for the first class. It seemed the popular class not only attracted those students needing electives for graduation but also was a magnet for area film buffs who often audited the class. When all the seats filled in the class, students took up space on the floor or steps. I soon learned the real attraction of the class lay in the person who taught the popular class. Times Dispatch movie critic Carole Kass took the assignment more than seriously and made it immediately clear that this class was not an easy mark. Kass had a cosmopolitan type delivery and an enormous knowledge of film and its history, and it became apparent that this class was not going to be a pushover. Kass, a transplanted New Yorker who for all intents and purpose, seemed to have West Coast connections. Her upstate New York dialect and unique voice somehow solidified her connection with the movie industry and many in the class thought Kass was a former actor or producer. Now, the first weeks of class featured silent movies and didn’t provide the frivolous

form of entertainment many of us sought, but Kass made even the most mundane of films interesting. Before each presentation, she noted camera angles, point of view and other vital elements of film-making. She took each scene seriously, and forced us to note the small details that separate great films from the run of the mill variety. Kass spent 25 years providing reviews of movies for the RTD, but always took time to give back to her community. She not only taught the VCU class for many years, she also visited the State Penitentiary to enlighten those who would listen regarding the history of film and its importance. Looking back, many of the classes I took at VCU were vital in my career in journalism, and, even today, I still depend on information learned in those classes on Franklin Street. But, the lessons learned in Kass’ class also are ever-present as I watch movies today. I’m always keenly aware of camera angles or the number used in a particular shot. When exam time rolled around, it became apparent that the class was not a push-

over, and Kass expected students to take the information seriously. Even with the requirement to actually study, the class remains one of my favorite memories at VCU. As for Dr. Diana’s Human Sexuality class, it also turned out to be more informative than entertaining and did not live up to our immature expectations implied by the title. The information learned in that class also resulted in a better understanding of life, relationships and how human beings interact. Years later, I finally realized that the two classes weren’t the most popular due to their lack of difficulty or simple exams. Both were taught by consummate professionals who somehow impressed on us the importance of the subject matter. In the end, it all added up to an education that exposed students to more than the basics and forced less than adult students to examine and question, notice and appreciate and realize that education was more than just checking off an elective on a requirement list. And watching a few great movies along the way didn’t hurt.

HANOVER -- Hanover County offers a Land Use Taxation Program under which qualified landowners can have their property assessed at “use value,” which may be lower than market value and reduce taxes owed. The application period for this program began Jan. 2 and ends the close of business on Feb. 1. Landowners who have kept their property in agricultural or horticultural for at least five years, or wish to use the open space or forestry categories, can qualify for the land use program.

The minimum qualifying acreages are five acres for agricultural, horticultural and open space and 20 acres for forest use. Property that has been zoned Rural Conservation (RC) also can qualify for the Land Use program. If the land use is changed, the tax reduction must be repaid with simple interest for the current tax year and potentially up to the previous five tax years. In recent years, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors modified the program to allow property rezoned for speci-

fied, more intense, uses to remain eligible for land use. Under this change, property rezoned for manufacturing; transportation and warehousing; professional, scientific and technical services; hotels and motels; and professional offices can still be in the land use program. Rollback taxes would not apply until the actual use is changed. About 3,550 parcels and 155,000 acres are currently enrolled in Hanover County’s Land Use Taxation program. see LAND USE, pg. 15

Hawks stun C-feds with last-second win By Arthur Utley For The Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Shooting the basketball is what Hanover’s Cole Wallace does best, but his shot wasn’t falling through the first three quarters of the Hawks’ game with visiting Lee-Davis. His shots fell in the fourth quarter, including a 3-pointer with 3.2 seconds remaining in the game to give Hanover a 60-58 victory on Friday night. Wallace scored all of his 10 points in the final 8 minutes. His first 3-pointer of the quarter cut a 4-point deficit to one with 30 seconds left in the game. “My shot was off all game, but you have to have the mentality in your head just to keep shooting. If it’s not going in you just have keep taking good shots and trust your shot, so the last two shots I was trusting it and they went in,” a smiling Wallace said. Turnovers, some forced by the Hawks (7-5) and others of the Confederates own doing, plagued Lee-Davis all night. The Confederates turned over the ball to give Hanover a last possession, and they did it again on the last play without getting a last shot off. Hanover’s last play started with leading scorer Will Fahed (17 points) handling the ball and D.J. Sims (15 points) set-

Hawks don’t let injuries keep then grounded By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – With adversity can come opportunity. Speaking to his team the night before Friday’s Rivalry Night girls basketball game against Lee-Davis, Hanover head coach Michael Rohr told players what he expected in order to earn victory. That’s nothing unusual, but it takes on added meaning when two top starters will not be available. With guard Jordan Davis and center Sarah Johnson on the bench with injuries, a fullteam contribution was registered as Hanover won its fifth game of the season, 64-40 at home over Lee-Davis. “In a situation like that when you’ve got key people out, you know it’s a really good opportunity for younger kids

or next-level kids to come in there and have to step up and make the most of the opportunity,” Rohr explained. “Our kids did a really good job of doing that.” The Hawks (5-8) broke out after missing their first five shots, as a pair of treys from Madison Miller helped build an 11-0 lead. But Lee-Davis fought back, ending the first period on a 12-3 run, down just 14-12. Guard Lydia Elkins led the Confederate attack early with eight points that helped Lee-Davis briefly take the lead early in the second. But reliable sophomore Julia Mardigian got hot, scoring 10 points in the period, helping Hanover end the half on a 20-5 run to lead 34-21 at halftime. Lee-Davis (3-9) never found another consistent stretch of offense the rest of the game, caused in part by Hanover

shutting down Elkins the rest of the way, as she finished with 11 points. Senior Codie Heilig led Lee-Davis with 18 points while grabbing eight rebounds. Miller led Hanover with 20 points, but also fueled the transition game with five steals. Mardigian ended with 13 points, eight rebounds and three steals, while junior Jessica Russell was in double figures with 10 points, adding three assists. In the second half, others who will be called on come postseason time to contribute got some quality on-court minutes, including Emily Mott – who scored all five of her points in the first half to help Hanover build its advantage – and sophomore guard Elise Melia, with five points in second half action. Freshman guard Kayla

in the final stretch and finished with a double-double, 10 points and 10 rebounds. Logan Nuckols led the Patriots with 14 points, followed by JaBryah Haverkamp with 11. Jamie Hughes had 10 rebounds. Kayla Maxson led Atlee with

10 points. When the Patrick Henry boys looked to make a run away from the Raiders in the second game of the evening, Atlee deployed an aggressive full-court press in the hope that it would rattle the young Patriot – three freshmen among its starters – lineup. The strategy worked. Turnovers and quick baskets helped the Raiders bolt out to a lead and to a dominant position in terms of momentum as they earned a 58-48 lead. “They handled our [manto-man defense] pretty well. We went 1-3-1 and trapped. We trapped, got some turnovers and said, ‘All right, let’s be a little more aggressive,’ and we went full-court press and that really got us going,” said Atlee head boys basketball coach Rally Axselle. “We were kind of stale. It was an even game – they played real well – and that turned the tide for us.” Tyler Warren led Atlee with 19 points. Andrew Cook added 14.

with nine regular season games left. “We’re trying to go and make sure we’re getting better at the things we need to get better at, and continue to play to get better together on the floor,”

Rohr noted. “As long as we’re doing that, for the most part, you can’t control where you end up. Wherever we do, we’ll try to make the most of it.” Rob Witham can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

also won the rebound and loose ball battles. “I think our team was very resilient. A lot of our key guys got in foul trouble. Our bench did a good job of coming in and giving us valuable minutes. Definitely Cole hit some big shots for us. He’s a shooter. I told him to stay with it. He was off earlier, not making shots, but we told him we’ve got confidence in him and he came in

and knocked down some big shots for us,” Hanover coach Darren Thornton said. Rebounding “was one of emphases we talked about; just giving them one shot if any and not giving them multiple shots at the basket. I thought we did a much better job in the second half on rebounding and doing our defensive assignment,” Thornton added. Arthur Utley can be reached

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – No matter which game you watched, no matter which team you rooted for, if you went to the girls and boys basketball doubleheader between Atlee and host Patrick Henry Friday night, you got your money’s worth. Both games featured scrappy, exciting basketball. Both games featured a pair of teams determined to win. Both games featured a pair of teams each in a position to win well into the second half. The fans were the ultimate winners as the Patriot girls held off the Raiders 44-37 and the Atlee boys bumped off Patrick Henry 58-48. “It’s good. It’s good to be in games like that,” said Patrick Henry head girls basketball coach Phillip Cobb. “It’s a great experience. You can’t get that kind of experience playing anybody. It’s great to be in close games – and come out with a

Pets of the Week

Continued from pg. 17

Photos submitted by Andrew Hodnett

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Snickers, 538764, is a 6-monthold (estimated) female domestic short-haired feline. She has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Snickers is a nice little cat that was surrendered earlier this month. She has mostly been an outside cat. Snickers has not had much human contact, but the shelter staff has been working really hard with her. She has really warmed up to people. Snickers seems to be well litter-trained and keeps her living space very clean. She should turn out to be a great cat with a little TLC (tender loving care). Ace, 531898, is a 1-year-old male neutered pitbull. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Ace is a young loveable dog. He has been in the shelter for over a month now. Ace really likes to be around people. He is sweet to anyone he meets. Ace also loves to run and play. He will be a really good dog for leash walks. Ace should fit in nicely with an owner who likes to stay active. He will do best as an indoor dog. For more information on these great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays.
