County administrator outlines initiatives By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local
HARRIS
ASHLAND – The Hanover County Board of Supervisors got a sneak peek at what might be contained in County Administrator Rhu Harris proposed budget as he presented a list of initiatives for 2020 at last week’s regularly scheduled meeting. Harris is scheduled to reveal his 20202021 budget next month.
Heading that list is a transportation issue that plagues many special needs, elderly and disabled county citizens. Harris said many people do not have access to vehicles and a new program seeks to address those issues and provide rides to doctors’ visits or other important appointments. “As many of you are aware, Hanover has the highest percentage of population over 65… and about a thousand Hanoverians have no access to a vehicle for transportation,” Harris said.
The cost for the first year of the program is 80 percent federally funded, and Harris said the service could provide county citizens with transportation alternatives. The county must apply for the federal grant money by Feb. 1. “This is the first step of what we think we can find to help those citizens who are truly struggling to meet life’s daily needs,” Harris said. Also included in the list of priorities is a see INITIATIVES, pg. 15
Proposed school budget gets positive feedback from public By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- A week after Hanover County Public Schools superintendent Michael Gill presented his proposed 2019-2020 budget, members of the public received an opportunity to voice their opinions regarding the $194.5 million operating budget. Most comments offered during the special meeting were positive, and many highlighted the 3 percent salary increase for school employees and the budget’s commitment to mental health and behavioral issues as positive and much needed. Gill’s proposal is laden with additional positions, including counselors and behavioral specialists in an effort to con-
front a growing problem in schools nationwide. Gill said this year’s budget is a “step in the right direc-

The endorsement of efforts to combat the growing problem was almost uniform in all of the comments received at the meeting. “Our association strongly supports Dr. Gill’s 20192020 proposed budget,” said Hanover Education Association president Gene Matthews. “We appreciate the 3 percent raise that will go to all school board employees, not just to SOQ (Statement of Qualifications) funded positions and not just to teachers.” Matthews also endorsed a proposed adjustment to the teachers’ pay scale that takes the first step in addressing salary compression. “We particularly appreciate the adjustment the superintendent has made to the teacher salary scale to begin

Wyatt vs. Peace: The race is on in the 97th District
The Mechanicsville Local
January 30, 2019
HANOVER — Scott Wyatt, Cold Harbor District representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, announced his candidacy for the House of Delegates in Virginia’s 97th District last week, and some Republicans are forecasting a battle royale during the nominating process this spring. Wyatt told fellow supervisors he will not seek re-election to his current post, and plans to challenge Del. Chris Peace for the House seat. Wyatt has consistently expressed his opposition to Peace’s vote to expand Medicaid in Virginia and told supervisors that the incumbent’s support of that measure prompted his decision to run. “Del. Chirs Peace’s recent vote to join the Democrats to advance Medicaid expansion in WYATT Virginia and the higher taxes it will bring to offset the costs has outraged the conservative community,” Wyatt said at the conclusion of last week’s regular board meeting. Republicans will decide who will carry their party’s banner at a convention scheduled for later this year. That decision was made the weekend of Jan. 19 at a meeting of the 97th District Legislative Committee held at the Mechanicsville VFW Post. That committee is comprised of three members, one from each county included in the district. The 97th District includes parts of Hanover and King William counties and all of New Kent County. Traditionally, the nominee has been determined by a primary process where voters go the polls and cast ballots for their preferred candidate, and is considered the most inclusive form of selection. But, this year’s committee opted for a convention to select a candidate, a measure that resulted from a less than transparent process that Peace described as rigged. “The process my opponent selected doesn’t represent the best interests of ALL Republican voters,” Peace said in an email. “It was rigged by a small few including my opponent to prop him up. By limiting voter participation my opponent
believes he has a better chance of success.” Peace is referring to Wyatt’s selection to the committee, in effect allowing him to choose the process most advantageous to his candidacy. Wyatt said the process allows Republicans to select a Republican candidate, and endorsed the committee’s decision to opt for a convention. “The decision by the Legislative District Committee to choose a convention over a primary, I feel, is a Republican process and allows vetted Republicans only to vote for their candidate,” Wyatt said. “It doesn’t open it up to Democrats. It was a decision by the Republican Party in the three localities. Citizens do cross lines in primary elections.” Boyd Marcus, a nomination expert and Republican political consultant who has worked for a host of candidates including Peace, had a different take on the decision. PEACE “Wyatt told people before the meeting he didn’t know what he was going to do and hadn’t decided what he was going to run for. Obviously not true,” Marcus said. “He should have disclosed his conflict of interest and asked for someone else to be appointed to represent Hanover.” Wyatt said he didn’t even attend the meeting due to his participation in the Right to Life March in Washington, D.C. “I was appointed by the prior chair to serve on this LDC. When it was time to vote and decide on a process, I did not attend and asked someone else in the Hanover Republican Party to represent Hanover,” Wyatt said. “I endorse the decision of the LDC.” Marcus indicated a convention nominating process is less inclusive and requires more steps for potential voters. “By going to a convention this reduces participation because people have to find out when and where they file to be delegates from their county, attend a local meeting to get elected, then attend the convention sometime in May,” he said. Wyatt endorsed the process and said it’s time for new blood in the 97th, noting that Peace has served since 2006. see 97TH, pg. 4

going about their day are surprised with unannounced visits by their superintendent and an entourage bearing gifts. Amid the happy fanfare, the teachers are handed those obnoxiously large fake checks made out in the amount of an equally large sum of money — around $20,000, give or take a few thousand. For Hanover County teachers, the checks may be cartoonish, but the money — every cent — is very real. Several years ago, school leaders and partners — led by Michael Gill, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools — came up with a novel idea. Using money provided by the Hanover Education Foundation, a nonprofit fundraising arm for the school division, they created an initiative called Classrooms of the Future. The program awards money to teachers to retrofit their classrooms. In the last two school years, four teachers have been awarded such grants in various amounts.

Edward Gonzalez used an iPad bought with Classrooms of the Future grant money to film fourthgraders Dade Blommel, Derek Esteban and Savoni Trent in front of a green screen at South Anna Elementary School. The class was creating cereal commercials during an exercise designed to help students learn about fact and opinion.
Stonewall Jackson Middle School’s Melissa Larimer were each awarded $27,500 in June 2017. Last year, Carolyn Hechler of Cold Harbor Elementary School received $28,000; Atlee High School’s Kelly Pace received $15,000. Up to three more winners will be announced this year in late May or early June. The grants are awarded before summer break so teachers have time to transform their classrooms before school starts in September. Predictably, the four
teachers thus far have turned to technology first, enhancing their classrooms with new laptops and tablets, green screens and video capabilities, virtual reality goggles, even STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)-related robots and software. Additionally, they’ve all changed the physical dynamics of their rooms by adding standing desks with tall stools, yoga balls and wobble seats for those who have a hard time sitting still — even an outdoor classroom space.
“Updating the technology was an amazing improvement for the types of activities we do in our room,” said Cold Harbor’s Hechler, a fifth-grader teacher, though it’s just one element of her overall classroom vision, where the environment becomes like a second teacher. “It has been my goal to create a student-owned space that inspires them and hopefully gets their creative juices flowing,” she said by email. “I wanted a space that reflects

Despite the muddled nomination process, Peace said he has confidence in the voters and their ability to select the best candidate. “We have enough self-interested ambitious politicians,” Peace said. “Notwithstanding his covert political maneuvers and poor record as a supervisor, I’m confident my legislative accomplishments and a proven conservative record on taxes, life and the 2nd amendment will lead to victory in the convention.”
Wyatt indicated that he is anything but an ambitious politician or interested in the position for self-gain or promotion. “I start my day at the Mechanicsville Drug Store, McDonald’s or Riverbound Café, and folks keep telling me how upset they are at the way things are going at the state level,” Wyatt said. “It’s about serving the community. It’s not about Scott Wyatt’s career in politics. I don’t seek to have a career in politics similar to our current delegate who has been serving for 12 years, and I support term limits.”

“Republicans in the 97th District want a representative that takes a strong fiscal stand against progressive promises from the left which will grow government with unfunded mandates,” Wyatt said.

Bruce Bowen inducted into NIAAA Hall of Fame Staff Report news@mechlocal.com
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – A Mechanicsville resident recently was inducted into the NIAAA Hall of Fame during the 49th National Athletic Directors Conference.

He started the district cheer competition and directed that event for 10 years. Before becoming VIAAA executive director, Bowen was president in 2004-2005 and served as chair of several VIAAA committees, as well as chair of the 1997 and 2002 VIAAA State Conferences. During his time as VIAAA executive director the past 10 years, he has raised more than $600,000 for the association's programs.
Bowen also served on the Virginia High School League (VHSL) Executive Committee in 1999-2000 and the VHSL Foundation Board of Directors from 2009 to 2016, and he was vice chair of the VHSL Student Leadership Conference in 2003.

nterpretation. In a world filled with real-time events being videoed and repeatedly looping throughout social media, actions today are under scrutiny than in the days before smartphones. However, with that should come the knowledge that what you’re doing in public may end up online. An image that I wish I could remove from my head is the one of a student in the face of a Native American -- and veteran of the United States Marine Corps -- on Friday, Jan. 18, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. It haunts me -and disgusts me. No matter how the high-powered public relations firm that Nick Sandmann’s parents hired tries to spin the encounter, the youth, a student at Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Kentucky, appeared to be smug and too close
to Nathan Phillips, who was taking part in the Indigenous Peoples March. I’ve reached that age where I immediately think “Kids today.” Well, no matter how anyone tries to lessen the impact, that behavior is unacceptable and disrespectful. The boys from the Catholic school were in the nation’s capital to participate in a March for Life rally. Some were wearing President Trump’s famous cap with the words, Make America Great Again or MAGA. I don’t know if the face-off was so much political as it may have been a teen trying to pull a macho stunt in front of his classmates. Regardless, that attitude is shameful. Have today’s youth lost all respect for their elders? I don’t want to think the boys were being racist, but I have no idea how they think or how they have been raised. I do know that privilege doesn’t mean you have class and dignity. We should revere the Native American elders
and leaders of this country for they have suffered in ways we may never understand. Their ceremonies, peaceful in nature, deserve our respect. Some Black Hebrew Israelites were said to be taunting the Covington Catholic group. Phillips, sadly, was drawn into the fray as he marched and beat on a drum with fellow Native Americans. Sandmann appeared on The Today Show last Wednesday to tell his side of the story. Phillips had been talking to news crews in the previous days. So, we go back to interpretation. As for me, I think the boys owe Phillips and his group an apology. Whether their intention was to seem menacing and intimating reverts to the word interpretation. What happened on that fateful day has led to unwanted attention for the school and Sandmann. Only time will tell how this incident plays out in the public eye. Hopefully there have been lessons learned.

Defining fairness to all parties with tax system After recently receiving a letter from the Commissioner of the Revenue, I thought that I had better recheck my understanding of what “fairness” is. It seems that a new tax management software system has been implemented that now, for some reason, needs an established minimum assessed taxable value of $300 for all taxable items of personal property. The letter continues that after a review of my 2018 personal tax billings I do, in fact, have an item with an assessed value below $300. The letter continues ... “In the interest of fairness we have corrected your bill ...” So, in the interest of fairness, the assessed value of an almost 20-year-old utility trailer has been raised from $265 to the new minimum of $300. Hmmm, an appreciated value of 13.2%. I might note that I doubt if the trailer even cost $300 back in 2000. What is fair about setting a “new minimum value”? Could not the new software have been programmed for, say, a $100 or $200 minimum assessed value? I also noticed that the letter wasn’t actually “signed” by the Commissioner. Yep, to be fair, I wouldn’t have signed it either. And, as long as I’m on the “fairness” issue ... how about the fact that our legislators have not done anything to address the discrepancy we Virginia taxpayers will face when filing this year? With President Trump’s new tax regulations, most middle income taxpayers will not itemize their Federal return and under current Virginia law how you file federally will be how you must file for state. This little glitch will mean approximately $500 to $600 million windfall for Virginia, with most coming from the pockets of individual taxpayers. Is this fair?

ters in Mr. Ford’s class, and didn’t immediately appreciate his dedication to language and the written word. But, no one could attend Ford’s classes without gaining a new respect for words and how to group them to convey a thought or tell a story. I suppose I was in the infancy of becoming an aspiring writer, so the emphasis on composition didn’t bother me. In fact, it held my interest more than any other class, and English was one subject that came easy to me. I was under the false impression that I knew how to

write -- and maybe I did have an inclination to the art -- but Mr. Ford’s class enlightened me to just how little I knew and how much I had to learn. For a year, I listened to a man who recognized potential in every student, and raised the level of consciousness of the thousands he instructed throughout the years. He was the first teacher who appreciated my interest in writing and took the time to nurture and refine what he called raw talent. I’m not exactly sure what he saw in me, but he offered me the chance to learn how to write and construct readable copy. Mr. Ford provided tools essential to the craft, tricks of
the trade and taught me something he called the perfection of simplicity. He opened a world of wonders by introducing a group of mostly immature students to great artists like Hemingway, Steinbeck and O’Connor. I suppose there are thousands of stories of inspiring high school teachers who had major influences on the lives of the students they taught, but Mr. Ford instilled in me an interest and dedication to the written word that would last a lifetime. After years enjoying a career I truly love, I often think of those days in Mr. Ford’s class in that barren campus that seemed forever unfinished. As a managing editor, publisher,
photographer or reporter, I carried his words of wisdom close and often relied on one of those little tricks learned in his class to improve a story or make it more readable. Throughout those years, I carried two pieces of literature to every office I occupied. One was a list of different ways to begin a sentence and the other was Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Philosophy of Composition.” Both were given to me by Henry Ford, but they are only reminders of what I learned in his class and his personal attention. His encouragement and personal interest in my journey provided a confidence that couldn’t be printed on a sheet of paper, or erased with the
hands of time. Sitting in Mr. Ford’s class, I was awakened in a literary sense, and came to the conclusion that composing and arranging words would be a lifelong pursuit for me. In my wildest of dreams, I envisioned that someday that early fascination with words would actually become a career. The pursuit took years, and many teachers refined and tweaked my abilities after Mr. Ford. But, it all began in that small classroom at Tucker with Mr. Ford and his ability to relate to all students and a belief that a little encouragement can provide immeasurable guidance to those willing to listen. After years of teaching
English, Mr. Ford became a guidance counselor and assisted even more students as they prepared for college or a career. Looking back, maybe that was his calling — a job that allowed him to become involved in and guide the futures of students, but his words as an English teacher are the ones that still inspire me. Ford’s commitment to the students he taught are not unique but serve as a reminder of the thousands of dedicated educators whose efforts are largely unrecognized. But, the impact on the kids they inspire is a lasting tribute to teachers like Henry Ford and others like him who make lasting impressions, change lives or shape careers.

Taxpayer Appreciation Day nears
Taxpayer Appreciation Day, a day set aside so government employees can show some sign of appreciation, a chest bump, a high five or just a hug for the taxpayers whose tax money makes their government employment journey, profitable, enjoyable and stress-free. Benefits such as lots of paid
holidays, sick days, vacation days, no layoffs, no termination, early retirement, great health and life insurance, and other perks to name a few, are all results of taxpayer dollars. And more good news, there will be more tax dollars coming your way due to the newly-increased real estate assessments. This Taxpayer Appreciation Day is not like the Hot Dog or Hamburger Appreciation Days where you just walk in a store anytime of the day and grab one. The taxpayers are working during the daylight hours and to catch one to hug, chest bump or high five will have to be done
before 7 a.m. or after 5 p.m. In case anyone feels uncomfortable showing their appreciation in public, there is a solution. Take a taxpayer with you and go through the drive-thru car wash on Chamberlayne Avenue. The tunnel atmosphere, soapy water and brushes will insure no one will see, hear, or know how much you really care. Sounds like a nice gesture to me since there certainly is no lack of wanting appreciation from us by government employees for simply doing a job being paid to do. Ted Mentz Old Church
Don’t forget, Feb. 5, 2019, is first half personal property tax due date, but, more importantly, is that Feb. 5 also is

recommendation to renovate the District Courts Building. “This is a continuation of an initiative we are currently working with this year,” Harris said. Bids for the project would be advertised in the spring, with a goal of having departments move into the building by fall 2020. The Assessor’s Office, Human Resources, Parks and Rec, General Services and Building Inspection are slated to occupy the new space. Harris said plans are well underway for Hanover County’s upcoming 300th anniversary, and Bucky Stanley and Scott Wyatt are heading a 12-person citizens committee assisting in the planning. “We are excited about this undertaking and look forward to proceeding,” Harris said.

cluded. Callahan recommended the board assume the entire cost of health insurance costs for the coming year, something the budget addresses but does not guarantee. Gill explained that’s because those rates are negotiated through county government offices and the plan includes not only school employees, but he expressed concern regarding those rising costs. “We would simply ask the board to fund the entire increase in health insurance costs for the 2019-20 school year,” Callahan said. Gill and Callahan agreed that better educating employees on efficient ways to use their health insurance could reduce future increases. Gill cited an example where services at a local clinic are available with no co-pays while emergency rooms can result in high out-of-pocket costs in addi-
“We don’t want a $7 million surprise down the road,” he said. “This is the third year of that plan and we will have invested more than $7 million in that project,” he added. Airport improvements on the east side of the Hanover Airport continue, and new ramp aprons, a parking lot and access road are complete. “Next year we plan to embark on a new corporate hangar and begin the design for a new terminal,” Harris said. Also included on the list is a project that would convert the old Clerk’s Office to a History Museum that Harris said would enhance tourism in the courthouse area. The supervisors will consider the list for amendment or approval of the list once the budget process is completed in April. In other matters, South

Other speakers commended the superintendent for including items like additional positions at CodeRVA and the exclusion of fees for current lacrosse teams at county schools. Rachel Levy, representing Together Hanover, told board members her organization supports the proposal but noted some issues the new budget does not address. “In particular, we can identify five areas that we’d like to see addressed: better working conditions for teachers and learning conditions for students, more courses or sections of certain courses need to be added, additional programming and staffing and more funding for facilities,” Levy said. Levy said that lack of course selection especially affects electives with many classes not available.
She also said important classes like writing require one-on-one instruction and timely interaction. “This is not because HCPS doesn’t know how to teach writing,” Levy said. “It’s that you lack the resources to do it well.” Gill applauded the efforts of the many who worked to comprise this year’s budget, one he described as “a positive step in the right direction.” “I’ve been proud of every budget we’ve put forth since I’ve been here,” Gill said. “But, I think this is the one, so far, that I’ve been the most proud.” Marla Coleman, who represents the Henry District on the Hanover County School Board, agreed. “This has been a very smooth budget process and the cooperation with the committees and the [Hanover County] Board of Supervisors has been outstanding.” “I think this is one of the most inspiring budgets I’ve seen,” she added. “I’m a very see BUDGET, pg. 20
Anna resident Retta Christoph voiced her concerns regarding the recent Personal Property mailings. While the assessments were supposed to be received by Dec. 31, she didn’t receive her bill until Jan. 2. After inquiries to her supervisor and county officials, Christoph said she wasn’t the only county citizen who didn’t receive the bill in a timely manner. Christoph said she learned through those efforts that 40 percent of the bills were mailed late. County billing services are utilizing new billing systems and the new technology has caused some glitches in addition to the late mailings by a vendor. “Everybody up here and everybody on staff are well aware of this situation,” board chairman Canova Peterson said, adding that the matter is receiving “full attention.”

upcoming year is the Atlee Library construction, a project that has been a priority for several years. “We’re getting closer to the actuality of being able to construct the building,” Harris said. The proposed plan outlines a 20,000-square-foot twostory building. Harris said bids have been received for the project, and the plan is to begin construction this spring with an opening in the summer of 2020. Another initiative is to continue supporting Hanover County Public Schools’ technology upgrades, a program that began two years ago, which will eventually provide personal devices to all students. Harris said plans are underway to maintain those improvements and avoid a lump sum upgrade like the one required over the past three years.

Horses die in barn fire Staff Report news@mechlocal.com
BEAVERDAM -- Two horses died early last Wednesday morning in a barn fire in the 15000 block of Tyler Station Road in Beaverdam. Battalion Chief Gregory R. Martin said Hanover Fire-EMS units were dispatched at 2:44 a.m. When they arrived, they found the barn fully engulfed in fire and learned horses were still inside. “A rural water supply operation was established,” Martin, who serves as public information officer, said. “Fire-EMS crews attacked the fire from the exterior, suppressing the fire; however, the barn was a
total loss.” “Unfortunately, during the overhaul portion of the operation, it was confirmed that two horses had died as a result of the fire,” Martin said. He said the fire was under control at 3:09 a.m. The incident is being investigated by the Hanover County Fire Marshal’s Office. Units from Beaverdam Station 2, Doswell Station 4 and Montpelier Station 8 responded to the call, which included: Battalion Chief 402, Engine 402, Engine 404, Engine 408, Tanker 402, Tanker 404, Tanker 408, Medic 408, Battalion Chief 470 and Fire Marshal 472 responded to the scene.

Pets of the Week 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. Vixen, 532660, is a 2½-year-old female hound. She has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Vixen is a sweet little girl. She has been in the shelter since October. She came from pretty crummy conditions, but the staff has done a great job of caring for her. Vixen does really well around other dogs. She loves to run and play around with her friends. Vixen also has a sweet temperament around people. She should make a really good family companion. Rosie, 539718, is a 6-month-old female domestic shorthaired feline. She has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Rosie is a cutie. She has only been in the shelter for two weeks now, but she has left quite the impression on everyone. Rosie loves to be around people. She will rub up against you forever. Rosie also seems to be well littertrained. She was found as a stray outside, but Rosie may be better suited being an indoor cat. 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.

So when Hanover officials put out the first call during the 2016-2017 school year for teachers to come up with their Classrooms of the Future proposals, school officials were hoping teachers would take advantage of the program and go big because there was

What they got, however, was a poignant reminder that teachers are often just grateful for the basics. “They were tight as ticks,” said Margaret Hill, Hanover Education Foundation executive director and business partner specialist for the school division. “They were so afraid to spend any money — we had to send them back and say, ‘Imagine you have this much; then what would you do?’ “ During that first year, “they had no idea how much money they were getting,” she said, and because teachers aren’t used to having unlimited resources at their disposal, 6:30

A lofty amount, she said she thought back then, but acknowledged that she was prepared to present cheaper options. She remembers the day she won. It was a Friday when Gill and others appeared at her classroom door with a large bouquet of flowers and a big check, though she didn’t immediately know for how much.

Raider ecstasy, Confederate heartbreak Coleman’s last-minute layup gives Atlee boys win By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – With 9.7 seconds left in the third quarter, Atlee boys basketball trailed Lee-Davis 52-46, but had possession. An offensive foul and a 3-pointer by the Confederates was not the way Atlee head coach Rally Axselle envisioned the end of the period. Now down 55-46, it was time to try to disrupt Lee-Davis’ rhythm. Enter backcourt pressure, which forced an immediate turnover, and, on the surface, little more. But that spark initiated a sequence where LeeDavis spent the remainder of the game out of rhythm, further broken by a half-court defense which forced the Confederates out of their offensive set. Atlee outscored Lee-Davis 20-9 in the final stanza and, when Elijah Jones’ game-winning 3-point shot bounced off the back of the iron and the horn sounded, Atlee’s Tyler Warren took off towards the Raider bench to celebrate a

Now 10-6, the Confederates must find at least two more victories before anyone can breathe easy in these, the final two weeks of the regular season. It was Atlee who began the night strong, scoring seven of the game’s first nine points, but Lee-Davis settled in, generating a 13-2 run of their own for an 18-13 lead late in the opening period. Devin Christian nailed three triples and went for 12 first-half points, helping Lee-Davis build a 39-31 lead at halftime. But he was held to just one trey in the second half, as slowly, but surely, the pace of the game slowed down to Atlee’s liking. In the critical fourth period, all nine of Lee-Davis’ points came from beyond the arc. Avery Fusco, who scored all 13 of his points in the second half, tied the game with a trey at 3:07 Nick Liberante for The Local left to make it 61-61.

Humility abounds among L-D inductees nated the county, with Atlee High School still in its infancy. Teammates and opponents would go on to achieve stellar careers in college, and a few in the professional ranks. That included Hopkins, who rushed for over 4,000 yards for Lee-Davis while earning 1993 Central Region Player Of The Year honors. Hopkins also ran track, played baseball and wrestled for the Confederates. He was an All-Region and All-State recipient and three-time Group AAA state tournament participant on the wrestling mat. His success continued at Virginia Military Institute, lettering all four years in football. Voted one of Style Weekly’s Top 40 Under 40 in 2014, Hopkins has translated his skills to help grow the U-Turn Sports Performance Academy. With his family around him prior to leaving Friday night, Hopkins was thankful that they, and, especially his three children, can understand the vital role Lee-Davis played in his life academically and athletically. “For my children to be able to look up and see Dad, it’s pretty amazing,” Hopkins said. “My son was looking up, and said, ‘Papa, look who that is!’, and that’s just amazing. And it will be here.”
By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Humility. It was the theme of the night, and the overwhelming feeling described by the five new members of the Lee-Davis High School Athletic Hall Of Fame as they were formally inducted Friday night at a dinner at Lee-Davis. The sixth class to be inducted, which brings the total number of Hall Of Fame members to 30, runs the gamut of decades, sports and post-school endeavors. All five, however, trace their success right back to the hallowed halls of Lee-Davis, whether they were outdoors or indoors. Judy Williams Judy Williams graduated in 1980 after a celebrated career in both indoor and outdoor track as well as basketball. The Central Region champion in 1980 in the 3,200-meter run, Williams next studied and ran at Virginia Tech, competing in indoor and outdoor track while adding cross country. She graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in biology. “Why me? This school has been here forever, I was here 40 years ago,” Williams said when asked of her reaction to being honored. “There’s a lot of good memories here.” Williams now lives in Mechanicsville, but has traveled extensively in her work as a surgeon, both across the United States and in the Middle East. She’s also been able to keep mentors from her Lee-Davis days in her life, off-and-on, during a period when there was no social media to make communications easier. “Buddy Gregory was one of my coaches, we go to church

together. Doug Greenwood was another one of my coaches, he’s now my financial advisor,” Williams explained. Williams is now a member of two Halls Of Fame, having been inducted into the Virginia Tech Athletics Hall Of Fame in 2002. She is thankful for the many life lessons learned on the track, the court and sometimes

the middle of nature. “Sports is a microcosm of a lot of things you deal with in life,” Williams noted. “Dealing with failure, perseverance through tough times, enjoying good times and teamwork.”
Hopkins said. “It allows you to reflect and look back on the hard work, the blood, sweat and tears. It’s a nice way to bring it together and know it was worth it.” Hopkins, a 1994 graduate, fondly remembered his days on the gridiron when the Tomato Bowl between the Confederates and Patrick Henry still domi-
Robbie Chenault The Lee-Davis lineage runs deep. Coaches spend decades teaching multiple generations. So it was no surprise to see former baseball coach, and still Lee-Davis teacher, Kenny Lewis, induct 1996 graduate Robbie Chenault. Chenault starred in football and baseball, also playing basketball. On the pitcher’s mound, Chenault went 20-5 as a starter and was named Capital see HUMILITY, pg. 23

District Player of The Year in 1995. On the gridiron as quarterback, he went 29-7, leading Lee-Davis to the Central Region Championship in 1995, supplanting defending state champion Patrick Henry. “He hit .416 as a senior, had a 1.57 ERA,” Lewis recalled. “But Robbie didn’t care about numbers. He cared about his team, he cared about his teammates. He was a winner.” “Being in sports was an incredibly important part of my life,” Chenault said in his induction speech. “Not only did they teach me important life lessons, they also helped me build lifelong friendships, as well as a college education.” Chenault played football at Virginia Military Institute, starting in three different seasons at quarterback. Today, he and his wife Michelle reside in Mechanicsville, raising a family, always grateful for the roots, even if they began under inauspicious circumstances. “[My family] moved to Old Church in 1989.

Cook, who had 11 points for the Raiders, scored his only field goal of the second half to cut the margin to one at 64-63. A lost ball by Christian ended up in Cook’s hands, who hustled down court to find Andre Coleman for the goahead layup at 65-64 with 31 seconds left. The Raiders would make just one free throw down the stretch, giving Lee-Davis the chance to win at the horn that wouldn’t fall. For Axselle, whose team endured a barrage from LeeDavis beyond the arc, the axiom “one game at a time” continues to be true. “The 11 3-pointers they

To say it was an adjustment for me was an understatement.” But the moved paid off, and, 30 years on, Chenault finds himself in exclusive company at his alma mater, remembering the most important people along the journey, among them, his mother. “You were always there to support me in whatever I did, whether at games or sitting through long evening practic-

We’re worried about the next opponent.” That would be powerhouse Henrico, who comes to Atlee Tuesday. Lee-Davis visits fellow Region 5B rival Douglas Freeman, who is 14-5, Wednesday at 7:30. In the girls showdown, Aya Youssef continued her strong outside shooting, feasting in the lane for a career-high 22 points as the Raiders improved to 9-7 with a 59-28 over the Confederates. “I’ve been waiting three and a half years for this to happen!,” exclaimed Atlee head coach Michael Rawlings with a smile. “She did miss some down the
stretch. I told her she should have had at least 30 [points]. The fourth quarter has been an issue for us, but didn’t have to be tonight.” Kayla Maxson was hot from beyond the arc contributing 16 points while Kelly Ayer, despite foul issues, added 12 points as Atlee looks to seize one of the final playoff berths in Region 5B. With L.C. Bird, Highland Springs, Mills Godwin, J.R. Tucker, Matoaca and Varina all with 11 wins or more, it could come down to Glen Allen, Atlee and Deep Run as to who grabs one of the final two playoff bids. The Raiders’ playoff drive continues at Varina Wednesday night at 7:30. Rob Witham can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.
Carroll Gathright In the early years of the school, one of the greats was Carroll Gathright. He is believed to have been the first student-athlete ever to receive a First Team All-State honor in Lee-Davis High School history, given that honor for his work as a lineman for the football team
in 1963. A year later, Gathright earned Second Team All-State honors. Gathright competed in track and field as well as baseball, holding the school record in the shot put for many years. School tradition is not easily obtained. It is earned, much of it through the hard work of students who attend when the buildings are new. Gathright helped build what is now commonly known as “The Lee Davis Way”. Messages in his high school yearbook were read by his son, who inducted him, inspiration that carried Gathright through an injury which cut short his collegiate football career, his career in the Army, serving in Vietnam, and raising a family, all very proud to see him given deserved recognition. “Good athletes and good citizens practice good fundamen-
tals every single day,” Gathright said. “I want to thank God for a blessed life. Don’t misunderstand me, and think all the road has been smooth. The Lord has always given me the strength and durability, and guts, to dig out and make everything good.” Gathright, who celebrated his 72nd birthday on Sunday, becomes the sixth student-athlete inducted from the decade of the 1960’s. He now resides in Nelson County with his wife, Christiane. Pepper Wilson The youngest member of the Class of 2019, Pepper Wilson, left an indelible impression as a student-athlete, and returned to Lee-Davis to help make history. An accomplished volleyball and basketball player, Wilson is perhaps best known for her contributions on the softball diamond.
The Mechanicsville Local
From the moment she stepped on the field as a freshman, Lee-Davis head softball coach Jackie Davis, whose coaching tenure began the same season, saw something special. “The team always followed her lead,” Davis recalled. “She set a precedent of hard work, committing to be the best, and dedication.” Wilson earned All-Metro, All-Region and All-State softball honors, then took her talents to Longwood University, then in the midst of upgrading to a Division I athletic program. Again, her leadership qualities helped transform a program, who, just like Lee-Davis, continues to enjoy success to this day. “Her success in maturing as a student-athlete has given me as much pleasure as anything I have experienced in coaching,” see HUMILITY, pg. 25

Winners have to work in DH at Hanover By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – In neither case did the victor have it easy. Both the girls and boys basketball games between visiting Patrick Henry and host Hanover Friday night proved quite competitive. And, by the time the night was over, each school could claim a win. While Patrick Henry was led by a solid offensive effort – 16 points apiece from JaBryah Haverkamp and Ava Smith – its defense is what came up big as it throttled the Hawks in the second and fourth quarters to claim a 49-35 victory. The Patriots held the Hawks to just 5 points in the second quarter and just 6 in the fourth. One big reason for Hanover’s reduced offensive output was Patrick Henry’s 6-foot, 2-inch center Jessica Osuanah, who grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds in addition to her 7 points. The key for the Patriots was to hold off a Hawk charge in the third quarter in which Hanover almost overtook Patrick Henry on the scoreboard. “They’re a very good team. We knew that it was going to be a tough game,” said Patrick Henry head girls basketball coach Phillip Cobb. “We struggled shooting the ball a little bit tonight. We were moving the ball. We were getting open shots, but they weren’t falling. “Fortunately for us, our defense came up and we played pretty well after the first quarter and we settled down. Only giving up 35 points is a pretty good night defensively.” The board game played to the Patriots’ advantage. “We did a better job rebounding,” Cobb said. “We always talk about crashing the

Ex-UNC women’s star to give goalkeeping clinic By Line sports@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – Samantha Leshnak, who just finished a history-making career at the University of North Carolina and who has represented the United States on USA Soccer’s Under17 and Under-20 Women’s National Teams, will be coming to Mechanicsville this weekend to conduct a winter goalkeeping clinic in concert with the Richmond Goalkeeping Academy. Leshnak, who graduated from UNC in December and has been invited to two professional training camps: by the Utah Royals and North Carolina Courage of the National Women’s Soccer League. The clinic, which will be held at WashingtonHenry Elementary School in Mechanicsville, will consist of several sessions: Advanced (U-15 to college-aged) on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.; Junior (U10-
U14) Saturday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; and all ages from 2:30 p.m to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and again from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. Cost for the clinic ranges from $105 to $150. Ten percent of the profits will be donated to Challenger Sports, a non-profit that helps children with special needs learn and play soccer. Leshnak will also be conducting a private coaching clinic for an autistic child in conjunction with Richmond Goalkeeping Academy and Challenger Sports. In addition, there will be a meet-and-greet and autograph session at Cool Spring Baptist Church from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Tickets for the meet-and-greet are $10, with all of the profits going to Challenger Sports.

boards. Jessica Osuanah had 15 rebounds tonight, which was a big part of the game, as well as four or five – I think it was five – blocks tonight as well. That helps when you have somebody that size in the middle of the paint.” Hanover head coach Mike Rohr said Osuanah, a freshman, made life difficult for the Hawks. “I don’t think we did a very good job of establishing posi-

tion, and she’s gotten a lot better. She works really hard down there,” Rohr said. “She did a really good job of getting in position on shots and getting some second shots. I thought that was a big difference in the game.” Hanover was led by Emily Mott with a double-double: 10 points and 12 rebounds. She also had three blocks. Julia Mardigian scored 12 points and got four steals.
In the nightcap of the evening, the Hawk boys jumped on Patrick Henry to build a big lead early and withstood a number of Patriot rallies – including one at the cusp of the third and fourth quarters – to hold on to a 61-48 victory. Hanover was led by Will Fahed with 17 points and Cole Wallace with 11. “We knew that Patrick Henry was going to always keep fighting,” said Hanover head
coach Darren Thornton. “One, it’s a county rivalry. … We know those guys have pride. We won’t look at their record. They’re a team that always plays hard and keeps coming. They’re a young team, so they’re always going to keep believing in themselves and keep trying.” The Patriots were led by Camden Byrd with 14 points and Jayden Mines with 10. “We’re going to fight. We’re going to claw. We’re going to give it everything we’ve got,”
said Patrick Henry head boys basketball coach Randy Anderson. “It’s just, when it matters the most, [the Hawks] had more big plays. … Their guys, you can tell, they were seasoned, veteran guys that made the right pass at the right time. When it mattered the most, they made better plays than us.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
Every county school gets a winner at meet By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor RICHMOND – All four county schools fielded winners at the St. Christopher’s Indoor Invitational at St. Christopher’s School Friday and Saturday. All four winners – two girls and two boys – were in field events. Atlee’s Jada Foreman won the girls high jump with a leap of 5 feet, 6 inches. LeeDavis’ Megan Mann won the shot put with a throw of 40 feet, 11 inches. On the boys side, Hanover’s
Joe Badalamenti won the pole vault with a 15-feet, 6-inch performance, and Patrick Henry’s Cedric Carter won the shot put with a throw of 50 feet, 4.25 inches. The boys pole vault was the county teams’ strongest event, with four county athletes placing in the top 10. In addition to Badalamenti, Isaac Grubbs (Lee-Davis) finished second. Atlee’s Josh Duegaw was fifth and his teammate John Thumma finished ninth. Other strong performances include Atlee’s boys 3,200-meter
relay team, which finished second, and Foreman’s fifth-place finish in the girls long jump. Their teammate Emma Moore finished eighth in the girls pole vault. The Raider girls’ 3,200 relay team finished 10th. The Lee-Davis girls had three other top-10 finishers, all of whom finished ninth in their respective events: Sierra Puleo in the 2-mile run, and Lauren Taylor in both the long jump and triple jump. Adam Soliman finished seventh in the boys shot put. Patrick Henry’s girls had
Local youth finishes 5th in state horse show By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Terryn Holt, an 11-year-old fifth-grader at Cold Harbor Elementary School, made quite a splash in her first-ever statewide horse show. Terryn placed fifth in the Junior Western Pleasure division at the 4-H state horse show in Lexington from Nov. 29-Dec. 2. “I was really excited to get that,” she said. “I didn’t expect I would get that in my first states.” In equitation, the rider and horse are judged as they execute a series of maneuvers on a closed course. The duo need to have a close, almost intuitive bond, as the rider gets more points the less effort it appears to take to get the horse to execute the required moves. The bond is an important one for Terryn. “I love how they can be your best friend and how they can listen to everything you and they can protect you while you’re on the horse,” she said. “They make it such a joy to ride.”

two top-10 performances. The Patriot 1,600-meter relay team finished fourth and the 3,200 relay team finished seventh. On the boys’ side, Jeff Miller finished ninth in the 300 dash. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com. Courtesy of Travis Holt
Terryn Holt poses with her mount, Saaher’s Concert, after their fifth-place finish in the Junior Western Pleasure division at the 4-H State Horse Show in Lexington on Dec. 2.
Terryn, riding her family’s 22-year-old Arabian, Saaher’s Concert, started out in a field of 40 riders before making the final round of the competition. The horse was trained by her grandfather, Terry Goode. The Arabian can have a bit of a temperamental streak, especially if he hasn’t been ridden in a while. “If you haven’t ridden him in a couple of days, because he gits a little antsy … we’ll put him on the long line and he’ll get all of his ants out. He’ll buck and kick sometimes, but when you get
the horse, he’s completely calm and focused and ready to ride.” While Terryn has been competing in horse shows since she was 3, she only began competing more seriously last year – by 4-H rules, riders have to be at least 9-years-old before they can ride a horse that’s not on a lead. And Terryn is ready for more competition, if only the winter weather would cooperate and let her and Saaher’s Concert get more rides in. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

won it all. “Pepper’s dedication, commitment, and work ethic that she had as a player carried over to her coaching,” Davis said. “She was instrumental to our success those two years.” Wilson also enjoyed two seasons of professional softball, catching for the Chicago Bandits of the National Pro Fastpitch Softball League. Today, Wilson is a model as well as a marketing professional in Jacksonville,

Longwood head coach Kathy Riley was quoted as saying before Wilson’s senior season in 2007. Thus, when Davis had the chance to bring Wilson on board as an assistant coach, she jumped at it. In 2010, the Confederates finished as Group AAA runner-up. In 2011, they

Rabies vaccination clinic set Saturday R.E.B. Awards for HANOVER -- Hanover Animal Control makes it easy for people to get their pets vaccinated by holding rabies vaccination clinics in the fall and winter. Vaccines will be administered at a cost of $8 per dog or cat. The final rabies vaccination clinic of this season will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Feb. 2, at the East Hanover Rescue Squad at 8105 Walnut Grove Rd. in Mechanicsville. The veterinarian will administer the shots to the pet at your vehicle. Do not
bring pets into the building. You will complete your registration inside the facility and return to your vehicle. Drive to the area designated for vaccination. You will be expected to leave the vaccination area as soon as you are done. Only healthy, non-pregnant animals will be vaccinated. No wolf or cat hybrids or animals other than dogs or cats will be vaccinated. The vaccination is good for up to three years unless the pet has never had a rabies vaccination before, in which case it is good
for one year. Put the rabies tag on the dog’s collar and keep certificates for proof of vaccination. All dogs and cats (including so-called “barn cats”) are required by law to be vaccinated for rabies at four months of age. You also must have tags and a valid license proving the vaccination. For more information, call Animal Control at 804-365-6485. Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.
Family Education Series starts Monday Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND – Hanover Cares, a nonprofit 501(c) (3) substance use prevention community coalition serving Hanover County, will present an educational series partnership from 6:30 to 8 p.m., starting on Monday, Feb. 11, at New Song Church, located at 7450 Colts Neck Rd. in Mechanicsville. The event will continue throughout 2019 on the second Monday of each month at New Song Church. The second event of the month will take place from 6 to 7:15 p.m. on the last Wednesday of each month, starting on Wednesday, Feb. 27, at the First Baptist Church, located at 800 Thompson St. in Ashland. These events are free to attend. Mirroring an educational series partnership from Tom Bannard with VCU Rams in Recovery and Teresa McBean from NorthStar Church in Midlothian, the family education series will consist of free community events, held twice per month where community members will be invited to

DePaola, certified trauma coach and Hanover Cares board member. Hanover Cares’ goal is to “bring community awareness of substance abuse issues into actions that develop and support healthy opportunities for youth and parents. These opportunities are targeted at the reduction of substance abuse in our community.” Hanover Cares relies on community partners such as businesses, organizations, and
individuals to aide its coalition in being champions for substance use prevention. Youth are a critical focus of our coalition efforts. Marsh said, “The earlier prevention and intervention starts, the easier it is to protect our youth and prevent experimentation and use of illicit substances. One critical fact is, the adolescent brain is not fully developed until about the age of 25, and any substance use prior can negatively impact the complete functioning and development of the brain.” “Hanover Cares believes in keeping our community safe from alcohol, tobacco, nicotine, and other drugs through prevention, advocacy and education toward not only youth, but parents and community members alike,” she added. To learn more about Hanover Cares, visit www. hanover-cares.org and like the Facebook page to stay abreast of the latest event schedule, substance use prevention news and trends. For questions or additional information, contact Marsh by email at info@hanover-cares. org or phone at 804-564-6119 or DePaola at 804-690-6332.
Teaching Excellence nominations accepted ASHLAND – Nominations are now being accepted for the R.E.B. Awards for Teaching Excellence. Parents, students, educators and the community-atlarge are invited to nominate an outstanding teacher by visiting http://www.tcfrichmond.org/reb. Nominations will be accepted through Feb. 25. The R.E.B. Awards recognize public school teachers in the metropolitan Richmond area who have distinguished themselves by their inspiring classroom performance. Grants ranging from $4,000 to $12,000 each will be given to approximately 15 teachers to support professional development activities. Recipients will be required to share educational ideas and experiences with fellow teachers.
Eligibility for the award is limited to full-time classroom teachers in grades K-12 who have completed a minimum of three years of full-time service and are employed by the public school divisions of the City of Richmond, counties of Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico, and the Department of Juvenile Justice. The program was developed by The Community Foundation and is funded by the R.E.B. Foundation. Since its inception, $3.5 million has been awarded to over 800 public school instructors. Numerous Hanover County Public Schools teachers have received this distinguished award, including two recipients in 2018. Information submitted by Chris R. Whitley, Hanover County Public Schools public information officer.

Hill said school officials are hoping to award one winner this year from each level: elementary, middle and high school. She said there’s no specific amount that the foundation sets out to give each year. Grants are based on funding availability and the teachers’ proposals. There are some strings attached. Teachers must be willing to open their classrooms for observation from school officials and the busi-
ness community. Hill said the hope there is that local business leaders will see the value of the program and financially support the foundation. Teachers also have to show how they’re going to measure success with the changes they make in their classroom. Winners may apply for grants in subsequent years. Because the grants are onetime events, teachers who buy new technology are encouraged to choose products and systems that are compatible with Hanover’s technology plans, so the schools can absorb the cost

GUIDE TO A 2019
A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE MECHANICSVILLE LOCAL • JANUARY 30, 2019
~ Healthy Lifestyles ~
The benefits of including yoga in your exercise routine oga continues to grow in popularity. In a questionnaire administered every five years as part of the National Health Interview Survey, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health and the National Center of Health Statistics found that the number of people practicing yoga increased dramatically between 2002 and 2012, when approximately 21 million adults acknowledged practicing yoga. That figure equated to nearly double the number of people who practiced yoga just 10 years earlier. The almost meteoric rise in popularity of yoga can likely be traced to many factors, including a growing awareness among the general public regarding the impact a healthy lifestyle can have on both short- and long-term health. An essential component of a healthy lifestyle involves taking steps to protect our bodies, and that
Y
can include making an effort to reduce the aches and pains that are often associated with aging. ‘The relaxation techniques incorporated in yoga can lessen chronic pain, such as lower back pain, arthritis, headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome,’explained Natalie Nevins, DO, a board-certified osteopathic family physician and certified Kundalini Yoga instructor. The American Osteopathic Association notes the benefits of yoga extend even further than relieving chronic pain. According to the AOA, yoga can help men, women and even children increase their flexibility as well as help them build stronger, more toned muscles. Additional benefits of yoga include weight reduction, improved cardiovascular and circulatory health and improved energy and vitality. But the benefits of yoga extend beyond the physical to the mental. The American Psychological Association

notes that several studies have shown that yoga can help strengthen social attachments, reduce stress and relieve anxiety, depression and insomnia. For example, a 2012 study from researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that a particular type of yoga that included brief, daily meditation reduced the stress levels of caregivers tasked with caring for people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. One of the more attractive aspects of yoga is that it requires little or no financial commitment on the part of the people who practice it. Unlike fitness centers that typically require members to commit to yearly contracts or even potentially costly month-to-month memberships, many yoga studies do not require long-term commitments, instead asking that customers pay a small amount each time they visit if they are hesitant to commit to memberships. In addition, yoga requires just a mat and some appropriate clothing, ideally clothing that’s conducive to flexibility but not so loose that it will prevent you from performing certain poses. Before including yoga in your exercise regimen, speak with your physician. Once you get the green light, look for a beginner’s course, explaining to your instructor that you are just starting out. Many yoga studios offer introductory classes that help men and women acclimate their bodies to yoga and the various poses it entails before moving on to more challenging poses. — Metro Creative

practice and during games. These movements increase muscular strength and power. Athletes condition the lungs and heart when sprinting and moving forward, backward and laterally. These movements train the muscles to work in quick bursts. Post practice conditioning allows us to train muscular and cardio-respiratory endurance with longer duration exercise. (Longer distance running, body weight exercises like squats lunges, pushups or sit ups)
Emotional Being part of a team is shown to increase overall positive self-worth. Many players very much look forward to practice or games to be able to spend time with friends doing what they love. This helps push healthy relationships as well. Softball and baseball both create environments in which kids can learn great communication skills. All of this translates into the real world after their athletic careers are over. — Submitted by Mechanicsville Little League

Natural ways to lower blood pressure igh blood pressure is a big problem. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure. In Canada in 2014, slightly less than 18 percent of Canadians ages 12 and older reported being diagnosed with high blood pressure. While such figures might be frightening, Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that there are some simple and natural ways for people to lower their high blood pressure. Opt for heart-healthy foods. Instead of foods that are high in sodium, eat a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Check labels before buying prepared foods at the grocery store, as many such foods are high in sodium. Look for foods that contain probiotics.

Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that studies have linked foods that contain probiotics to healthy blood pressure. Probiotics are consumable live bacteria, and while studies regarding the relationship between probiotics and blood pressure are ongoing, researchers believe probiotics may produce chemicals that, when absorbed in the blood stream, may activate receptors in the blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Lose weight. People with high blood pressure who are carrying a few extra pounds should know that research indicates extra weight can cause injury to the heart. Dropping those pounds, especially through physical activity that can boost heart health, can help men and women lower their blood pressure. — Metro Creative

Losing weight after a thyroid condition eople diagnosed with an underactive thyroid condition may have to make several changes to their lifestyles to feel well and maintain a healthy weight. The thyroid is a tiny gland located in the neck that produces a hormone to regulate one’s metabolism, or the process that converts what a person eats and drinks into energy. With hypothyroidism, also known as an underactive thyroid, production of that thyroid hormone is insignificant, resulting in a dramatically slower metabolism. The endocrinology health site Endocrine Web estimates approximately 10 million Americans have hypothyroidism. The reasons the thy-

Low-impact cardiovascular exercise mixed with intervals of strength training can be the right formula for losing weight with a sluggish metabolism.
roid gland falters vary. But the symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight, hair loss, muscle aches, depression, and irritability. Each of the side effects associated with thyroid conditions can be troublesome, but many people with thyroid issues struggle most with weight gain and their inability to keep weight off. The president of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, R. Mack Harrell, MD, says to first visit a doctor, who can determine if a synthetic thyroid hormone medication can help. Regular exercise also can be an important part of the strategy to lose weight and manage other hypothyroidism symptoms. Christian Nasr, MD, an endocrinologist with the Cleveland Clinic, advises his patients to wait a few weeks
before exercising so that their condition is controlled with medication. After that waiting period is over, gradually easing back into exercise can help with the fatigue and weight gain that may not abate with thyroid medications. The online health resource Everyday Health advises a program of low-impact aerobic exercises and strength training. The aerobics will raise the heart rate without putting too much pressure on the joints. These exercises include using a stationary bicycle or a low-impact elliptical machine. Pilates and gentle yoga can improve core muscles and help alleviate joint pain as well. Incorporating strength training into a workout can help build muscle mass, which burns calories, even when a person is at rest. That can be essential for a person finding it difficult to control his or
her weight due to a sluggish metabolism. Additional benefits of exercising are improved mood and reduced inflammation. Exercising can release endorphins into the body to help fight off depression. Also, researchers from the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine found a single 20-minute session of exercise was enough to trigger something called sympathoadrenergic activation, which suppresses the production of monocytic cytokines in the body that produce an inflammatory response in the immune system. That means exercise can keep inflammation in check. Hypothyroidism is a common condition that produces various unwanted side effects. However, with proper care and exercise, many symptoms can be managed effectively. — Metro Creative
