Bourassa and Axselle take top school board offices By Jim Ridolphi for the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- In a unanimous vote, Hanover County School Board members tapped Mechanicsville District representative Roger Bourassa to chair the panel for the upcoming 12 months. During its annual regular reorganization meeting, the board also selected John Axselle, Beaverdam District, to serve as vice chair for the upcoming year. Bourassa, who was appointed to the board in 2014, has served as vice chair for the past two years. “I want to thank my fel-
low board members for their support and I look forward to working with Dr. [Michael] Gill [superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools and the [Hanover County] Board of Supervisors to continue our tradition of excellence in HCPS as our residents have come to expect over the years,” Bourassa said. He cited continuation of the technology plan and the construction of a new elementary school in Ashland as pressing issues for the upcoming year. Outgoing chair Bob Hundley, Chickahominy District, said Bourassa’s two years as vice chair prepared

him well for the challenges he will face now that the gavel is his. “I think Roger will do a great job,” Hundley said. “I think he has learned a lot over the last two years as vice chair and he’s ready to step into this role,” Hundley added. Hundley wrapped up his sixth term as chair since he began serving on the school board in 2004, and said he is sure Bourassa will continue to lead the board in its quest for equity and excellence. Hundley noted that this board is seeing the fruit of its labors as programs like the Advanced College Academy mature.
Peace concedes; Wyatt Tomato Festival kicks off Friday now faces Washington By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE — After six months of intraparty bickering that defined the Republican nomination process, the 97th District has an official candidate for the November House of Delegates race. Thirteen-year incumbent Chris Peace finalized that process last week with a concession statement that left no questions regarding who is
the Republican candidate for the seat. That left Scott Wyatt as the last man standing in a battle that tested unity in both the local Republican committee and the state’s GOP party. Wyatt, a retired Verizon operations manager and current vice chair of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors representing the Cold Harbor District, has steadfastly maintained his claim to the nomisee WYATT, pg. 7

ECHANICSVILLE -- Students, staff and community members from New Hanover Christian School teamed with Reaching 4 Autism Miracles Inc. by hosting a virtual race to celebrate Autism Awareness Month. Although April had passed, team member said they hoped that their event and cause will spark new interest and support throughout the year. This year’s charity event began in March and ended on April 29 with a medal ceremony to celebrate everyone’s accomplishments. This virtual race could be completed anytime, anywhere during the race window -March 24-April 24. Participants of any age or fitness level could walk, jog, run, or bike the distance of their choice. Any distance could be completed on a treadmill, outside, walking a dog, using a pedometer’s daily steps or at another racing event. The race mileage did not have to be completed in one day.
Participants chose to do a 5K in one day or spread out 3.1 miles by doing one mile a week, biking, etc. During the virtual race, students enjoyed tracking their steps on the playground and even challenged their teachers. Participants took their virtual race with them on weekends and over Spring Break to places like Costa Rica and Disney World where a range of less than 1 mile to 15 miles were logged in one day. Preschoolers also logged miles at Maymont, the Baltimore Aquarium, the Arlington Cemetery, biking around their neighborhoods and walking their dogs. The race provided an opportunity to show the school community how to help others while also spending time together exercising, Staff and community members challenged one another on who could get the most steps in one day, did laps around the school and were surprised at how many miles they were able to log doing lawn work, going see AUTISM, pg. 4

Reaching 4 Autism Miracles Inc. is a nonprofit organization that was founded by the parents of a child who
was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3. After his diagnosis, they learned that there were resources and programs available for their son but were surprised at the costs of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, summer camps, social skills courses, and Autism Advocates. These resources helped their own child learn to communicate verbally by age 4, and this organization was created to award grants to families so that more people can afford them.

of its kind in the country), as well as her work with the Profile of a Hanover Graduate and the work by Dr. Gill on the Community Equity Advisory Board, bringing together community, business, parent, and administrative leaders from across the division for meaningful progress with respect to equitable decision making in all that we do.� He said the panel is not resting on its laurels. “We have made great strides in these areas this year, and I know we will continue to identify opportunities for growth in the coming year.� The board heard emotional and poignant words of appreciation from a family that has endured an unimaginable tragedy. Last month, Henry Morin drowned in a Nelson County quarry while swimming with friends. The Patrick Henry High School senior’s death was an emotional blow to his fellow students, and HCPS provided counseling for those who required professional help during the crisis. “I am the father Henry Morin,� Patrick Morin said as he struggled to keep his composure just weeks after his son’s untimely death. He described a period of grief and loss that his family has endured, but said the efforts of school officials provided solace during a time of unbelievable challenges. “The profound sense of loss we had in our
family is overwhelming,� Morin said. “You guys get beat up a lot but I’m here to thank you for what you’ve done the past three weeks.� Morin said Patrick Henry Principal Chris Martinez has been in constant contact with his family since the tragedy, and organized vigils and memorials held at the school. He also cited Latin teacher Daniel McGraw, who also teaches Henry’s younger brother William, for his efforts. “He’s stepped in as a mentor and guide for William in the loss of his older brother.� He also thanked other teachers and guidance counselors at PHS as well as Dr. Gill. “We were blown away at the funeral when the school provided buses for whoever wanted to attend. We had 1,200 people at the funeral, the vast majority of the students who provided us an immeasurable amount of comfort. My gratitude is immeasurable,� Morin said. Finally, the widening of U.S. 360 and intersection improvements at the Lee-Davis High School corner will require some adjustments and a redefinition of the school’s bus loop. The county asked the board for easement conveyances and rights-of-way to accommodate sidewalks, utilities, and construction.

What do you call something with two fiery eyes and a set of wings? Vacation! By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
T
urns out those free oil changes for life can be more enlightening than you expected. While awaiting service at a local dealership, I found a small table and pulled out my laptop and quietly began working on an article for the upcoming week’s newspaper. A gentleman about my age asked how to access the wifi and I explained it would appear when he booted his computer and all he had to do was click “yes”. That started a conversation that I at first thought would be brief, but it turned out the stranger was a retired journalist who was on summer vacation with his wife when their car required service. The couple was from Charleston, South Carolina, and were heading to West Virginia for a week-long stay. “Where you headed to in West Virginia?” I politely asked. “We’re headed to Point Pleasant to search for the Mothman,” the man laughed. I suppose he didn’t realize he was speaking to a dedicated devotee of a legend that has intrigued folks for decades, and he seemed surprised that I knew of what he was speaking. Their interests were spiked when they saw a movie called “Mothman Prophecies” starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney, and thought a visit to the small hamlet would make an interesting and unique vacation. I explained that I had never been to Point Pleasant but was well acquainted with the Mothman legacy, and how the terror associated with it had gripped a community in the late 1960s. In 1966, a series of troubling reports and sight-
ings of a strange moth/man combination stalking the community became prevalent in and around Point Pleasant. Locals who had encountered the beast described it as about 6 to 7 feet tall with folded wings and red eyes. The origins of the phenomenon are still to this day unknown, but the legend has grown as the decades pass, and Point Pleasant has become the centerpiece of a universal effort to keep the story alive. Why Point Pleasant? No one knows exactly, but the town is located adjacent to a closed munitions factory that produced God only knows what during World War II. I had a neighbor who worked at the top secret site during those years, and, although he never discussed his confidential work, he did tell me about the strange occurrences that surrounded the deserted site. Locals call it the “TNT” area and during the period in question, the area was a hotspot for young lovers seeking privacy so they could engage in what we used to call submarine races. “There were some strange things going on at that site,” my neighbor said, describing the beastly encounters, not the backseat activities. The Mothman hysteria culminated in November 1967 when the Silver Bridge spanning the Ohio River collapsed on a cold November evening, claiming 46 lives. Following the disaster, some people who survived recalled the terrifying site of two red eyes sitting atop the bridge’s tower shortly before the collapse, and to this day, many believe the collapse was a result of the Mothman’s wrath. Engineers who studied the collapse begged to differ and cited deficient steel in one of the beams

supporting the suspension bridge. But, as my neighbor said, Mothman was never seen or heard from again in Point Pleasant. Today, Point Pleasant appears just like any other quiet riverfront town on the Ohio, the Silver Bridge long replaced and thoughts of evil creatures remaining only in the minds of those the locals call believers. But, the town has taken full advantage of the mystery, and whether it was a winged intruder, aliens or some genetically-altered being created from the ashes of that weapons plant, the events have marked Point Pleasant as the place to begin the search for Mothman. There are museums,a local festival, moth man themed promotions, and you can even buy a local pizza designed in the image of — you guessed it — Mothman. There’s a statue of the creature strategically and proudly displayed in the downtown area. But, don’t expect the locals to embrace the hoards of people who visit annually to somehow reclaim the legend. Most of the people who encountered the other worldly beast are dead and buried, and many others have long discounted the story behind the legend. I told the stranger at the auto dealer little of this background and explained that I had a limited knowledge of the enhanced tale, but thought that he and his wife would enjoy the peaceful and beautiful surroundings in Point Pleasant. Their car was ready before the work was completed on mine, so they came back over to the table to say goodbye. “Wish us luck,” the man said as they prepared to leave. “I hope we find the Mothman.” “I hope you don’t,” I said with a smile. The legend lives on in wonderful West Virginia.

Marla Coleman ‘disappointed’ in HCBOS action I was not reappointed to the Hanover County School Board for a second term. As you can imagine, there are lots of questions regarding my reaction to being denied reappointment. I certainly can confirm that I am disappointed. I was encouraged by several Hanover County leaders not to pursue reappointment, but I have too much respect for the importance of the position to believe that the best strategy for me is to avoid the unpleasantness. As a reality, however, my term will shortly end (the letter was submitted on Friday, June 28) and the position will soon be held by the new appointee (effective July 1). I am very pleased that I had this opportunity to serve our schools, families, and youth. Serving on a school board is a very special honor that demands the best effort from the board member. It is certainly a challenging assignment and not to be taken lightly. I was fortunate to serve with a great educational team under Dr. Michael Gill and to work with fellow Hanover County School Board members to provide important, visionary leadership to Hanover County Public Schools. I have been inspired by our amazing, creative educators and support personnel. And, without a doubt, our students remain our daily, joyful focus. One of the most memorable days in the past years was the day I shadowed a high school student as she moved through her very challenging day. I know from experience just how important putting boots on the ground can be for a member of a school board. Even though I have a lifetime in education, each and every day was new and informative.

Broadband Task Force brings officials to table I was invited by U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman’s office to attend the third in a series of meetings of what he’s calling his “Broadband Task Force” on June 24. This meeting occurred at the Beale Annex Building in Tappahannock. I’d like to share with your readers what was discussed and how we can move Hanover County toward expanding access to this vital utility. The purpose of this meeting of the Task Force was to have representatives from both the state and federal government explain the process for accessing funds that have been appropriated in their budgets for the next couple of years to expand broadband internet access to rural communities. Representatives from a few local governments and private internet service providers also
were in attendance. By the government’s calculations, roughly 40% of Hanover’s residents currently live in areas that are defined as “rural”. We join other localities in Congressman Wittman’s district that have a large rural population – places like Caroline County, the Northern Neck, etc. – and I appreciate him working on this issue because it affects so much of our daily lives. Some of the attendees told stories of their school-aged children having to drive 20 to 30 minutes, each way, to find a location that had the internet access speed to accommodate the homework they were working on. They usually found it at a fast food restaurant or coffee shop. Access to high speed internet is crucial for the future of any community and Hanover is no different. We need to take the necessary steps to start applying for the funds that the state and federal government is
making available. Locally, Powhatan County has submitted an application to be considered with others from around the country for the federal grant funds, New Kent County has approved funds to perform a study to expand access, and King William County is working on their initiative with Del. Chris Peace and the state’s broadband officer. It’s past time for Hanover County to address this critical issue. James Doran Mechanicsville

Sanders: thanks for support for Henry seat I want to start out by thanking all those who sent an email or contacted a supervisor on my behalf in regard to the Henry District position on the Hanover County School Board. I think we in a slight way made the process more transparent and responsive to the people. I am humbled by your support. If politics is a bug, maybe I am not cured yet! But I was thrilled to hear
about George Sutton with a glowing testimony of Christian service in his church by his pastor. He seemed like a solid person of integrity and honor who would do well. So when I heard the news that I did not get selected, let me tell you, defeat is a bummer! But I was pleased to hear that Mr. Sutton did get the nod, I got his number and called him. I promised to pray. I encourage those in the county to try to pray more often for our local officials and bring concerns and compliments to them. Let’s rally around George as he assumes his responsibilities for the next four years. Thank you again for the wonderful community paper, The Mechanicsville Local. It is useful and much needed and I usually look it over from front to back. Elwood Earl “Sandy” Sanders Jr. Mechanicsville
Reader explains Republicans’ primary process (Editor’s note: The following was submitted before incumbent Del. Chris Peace announced he would not pursue any further action in the 97th District House of Delegates race.) With respect to your article on June 26 about the Delegate Primary race in the 97th District, there may be some confusion in the district about the contest between Del. Chris Peace and Scott Wyatt, who represents the Cold Harbor District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, who was endorsed by three levels of the Republican Party in Virginia. Despite contentions to the contrary, there was nothing “contrived” about the primary process. Here’s why: A couple of years ago a new law in effect took the type
AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE TECHNICIAN NEEDED
of primary away from incumbents in Virginia and put how to have a primary into the hands of local districts. Thus, voters have more choices now, and you have begun to see conventions emerge as opposed to primaries. Remember, in Virginia primaries are open to all voters no matter their party affiliation. In the 97th District early this year the Republican Party voted to have a convention and not an open primary. This was done fully in accord with the State Republican Party Rules and Regulations, and both Chris and Scott knew exactly that. No secret there. Naturally, as an incumbent, Chris preferred an Open Primary because of his name recognition and 97th Democrats could cross over and vote for him based on his more liberal voting record in the past couple of years. Like most all Republicans, I voted for Chris every time he ran, almost always without
competition, in the 97th. We all did. But, what changed this year was when House Speaker Kirk Cox sided with the Democrat governor and party, along with a handful of Republicans, including Chris, to pass the Obama Care Medicaid for All in Virginia. As a delegate of the most consistently conservative Republican district in Virginia, Chris should have, in my opinion, told Cox “No thanks, I’ll pass on that this time.” But, he didn’t and the ground was laid for a big “Blow back.” Result: early fireworks. Chris fully participated in the convention process at first and actually won in King William and New Kent. I attended two mass meetings and several committee meetings and met him. But, when it became evident that he might lose in Hanover he suddenly pulled out of the convention and tried to have a late Firehouse Primary, open to all voters in
either party. For those who carefully followed the whole chain of events, it was no surprise the three levels of the Republican Party in Virginia held that the convention process was legal, the Fire House Primary was not, and submitted Scott’s name to the State Board of Elections -- an easy call. What’s next? For the sake of the Republican Party in the 97th, I believe Chris should get with Scott -- they know each other fairly well -- “bury the hatchet and smoke the old peace pipe.” That’s for the good of the 97th Republican voters. And, that’s my opinion. Hope this helps. Bill Todd Mechanicsville

Advance College Academy graduates first county students ASHLAND – Hanover County Public Schools (HCPS) has announced the first graduating class of the Advance College Academy (ACA). Thirty-nine students completed a rigorous program to graduate with an Associate’s Degree in Social Sciences through a partnership with Reynolds Community College while simultaneously completing the requirements for their high school diplomas. HCPS began offering the ACA program in the fall of 2016. “We are incredibly proud of our students’ accomplishments, and we are thankful for the road they have paved for future students. Whether a student wishes to go directly into the workforce, serve in the military, or build on their degree at another higher education institution, the preparation they have received through the Advance College Academy will undoubtedly serve them well. We are also grateful for our partnership with Reynolds Community College and for all of the teachers, counselors, and administrators at both Reynolds and Hanover County Public Schools who have given tirelessly of themselves to make the ACA such a success,” Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent, said. Students apply to the ACA in the eighth grade and are selected through a lottery system. They take classes as a group for all four years and complete the required college coursework
for the associate’s degree during their junior and senior years. Students in the ACA program also are required to attend a three-week session of college courses during the summer between their sophomore and junior years. Dr. Miles McCrimmon, director of College Academies, said, “All of us at Reynolds Community College are proud of the work done by these 39 students in the first-ever graduating Photos submitted by Chris R.

We know they will remember where they got their start, and they will continue to do both Reynolds and HCPS proud. Thanks must go out to the HCPS teachers, principals, school counselors, and Reynolds career coaches who helped these students along the way.” Elizabeth Roerink, ACA career coach, added, “The ACA Classes of 2019 have been trailblazers since the program began in Hanover County. They have made the program stronger and more dynamic for the cohorts behind them. They have developed strong skills that I am confident will prepare them for entry into the four-year colleges they are attending in the fall. It has been inspiring to watch them mature, persevere through challenges, work extremely hard, and develop self-advocacy. Their Reynolds see ADVANCE, pg. 16

He eluded to the voracity of the months-long battle for the nomination. “While our district has witnessed one of the most
heated contests in the modern history of the General Assembly, it is time for our part of Virginia to heal and voters to focus on November,” Peace said in the release. He indicated that futher pursuit would be unproductive. “I have evaluated my options and have concluded that further litigation of this contest does not serve the best interests of the district,” he said. Even those realities didn’t make the decision any easier for the lifelong Hanover resident. “The devotion we’ve received from family, friends and supporters is unparalleled; however, it does not necessitate the continuance of this race.” Wyatt acknowledged Peace’s concession in a statement on his campaign website. “I would like to thank Delegate Chris Peace for his years of service to Hanover, King William, and New Kent counties,” Wyatt said. “Just like (House) Speaker (Kirk) Cox said, it is important that we come together to support the Republican ticket, around the Commonwealth, and keep the Republican majority in the House of Delegates,” Wyatt continued. He echoed sentiments expressed by Cox in a statement issued earlier last week
regarding the nomination. “Delegate Chris Peace made the right choice in recognizing the decision of every level of the Republican Party of Virginia, which decided by large margins that Scott Wyatt is the Republican nominee in the 97th District. Scott overwhelmingly won the convention on May 4th, and Party leaders have determined that victory stands. “Over the last several months, I have consistently said the only thing that matters is holding the majority. No one should be satisfied with the process, but now is the time to focus on November,” Cox said. He acknowledged Wyatt’s victory and issued his support for the candidate. “I commend Scott on his nomination. He is an experienced public servant and I look forward to working with him to hold the 97th District and protect our majority.” On the local level, Hanover Republican Committee chair Nick Collette also commended Peace for his decision. “Delegate Chris Peace made the right choice in recognizing the decision of every level of the Republican Party of Virginia, which decided by large margins that Scott Wyatt

To set up an appointment, call Megan Arrington at 804746-1252 or visit the Red Cross website at www.redcrossblood. org and search for the Colonial Farm Credit drive using the 23111 zip code.

GRAL rivals turn up heat in Carter Park By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – With two rivals meeting at the newly renovated Carter Park Pool in Ashland, and temperatures in the 90s, it promised to be a night of heated Greater Richmond Aquatic League action last on July 2. With each team sporting one of the best swimmers in their age group in the region, it would be the Ashland Barracudas holding off the Hanover Shark Attack, taking a 1,104-1,032 victory. The novice division proved crucial for the Barracudas, holding a 635-486 advantage there. For Hanover head coach Leslie Nuckols, it was a meet affected by the holiday calendar, as nearly 20 percent of her roster missed the meet due to vacations and the like. Still, with only two meets left on the regular season schedule, there was much to build on as GRAL Champs quickly approaches later this month. “If a kid is advanced, one step away from JV, I always put the advanced kid in their advanced event to try to get them a shot at making Champs,” Nuckols explained. “Other than that, I try to study where their kids are, and where my kids are, and try to plan it to maximize our points.” One advantage Hanover

Medei and Cole Nuckols. In the 25-meter freestyle, Gareth literally glided through lane four, shaving another twohundredths of a second off his GRAL record, taking the win in 15.38. The next closest competitor, teammate Ryder Robinson, finished 5.8 seconds behind at 21.18. For Nuckols, watching and working with Hollender is an absolute joy, in part due to a competitor’s mentality at work that is hardly seen in many 18 year olds, much less an 8 year old. “He just wants to race. He’s at the point where he asks do I have to do 25’s?,” Nuckols explained. “For NoVA, he swims in 200-meter events. He’s so used to competing against 10 year olds and makes finals in big meets as an 8 year old in 10-and-under events. He’s a super, super special swimmer.” Medei took .04 off her best time winning the 11-12 girls 50-meter freestyle in 30.40, while Greene shaved .24 off his best in the 13-14 boys 50 freestyle, breaking the 29-second barrier at 28.94. A 28.40 time would qualify Greene for the highest level at Champs, senior varsity.

Defense trips up Post 175 in loss to Post 125 By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The field may have been dry, but the play was sloppy when Lakeside Post 125 traveled to Hanover High School for an American Legion baseball contest with host Mechanicsville Post 175 Tuesday night. The linescore says it all: nine errors. Unfortunately for Post 175, six of those were committed by Post 175, and Lakeside took advantage of the extra outs, racking up 16 hits in a 14-2 rout of the hosts. While Mechanicsville has yet to field a stable lineup – and injuries and illnesses are now having an effect – the performance was disappointing to players and coaches alike. “We just played poorly tonight,” said Post 175 manager Ken Schrad. “Kids are playing in positions that they’re probably normally not used to playing, but it doesn’t make any difference. They’ve all played baseball. They need to make plays. “I mean, I told them I was a little disappointed. This is the first time, I think, they kind of lost their moxie.” Mechanicsville starting pitcher Travis Shumate was tagged with six runs – only two of those were earned runs, however. Going into the fourth inning, he kept Post 175 within striking distance, trailing Lakeside by just 3-2. But then, Mechanicsville’s defense started
to unravel. Up to that point, Post 175 had recorded just one error, which led to one unearned run in the first inning. But Mechanicsville opened the fourth inning with an error, which allowed Post 125’s Alex Erickson to reach base. Erickson moved to second on a David Snead single, then he and Snead both scored on an error in the outfield following a Patrick White single for two unearned runs. One out later, Vic Johnson walked. After another out, Bo Richmond singled, but an error on the play allowed Wright to score for another unearned run and a 6-2 lead. Brannon Mantlo took over pitching duties for Post 175 in the fifth inning, and the team yielded one more unearned run in that inning. After that inning, Lakeside’s bats took over as Post 125 scored four runs in the sixth inning and three more in the seventh. With just one win so far this season, Schrad said Post 175 is going through a difficult adjustment after several years of dominance in District 11. “Post 175, they come out here. They’re a little bit cocky, you know. They’re expected to win and stuff,” Schrad said. “We’re on that teetering point right now, where we better catch ourselves from this freefall that we seem to be in right now. Take the Fourth of July break and come back and let’s just start it fresh and new and see what happens.”

GRAL Continued from pg. 20
Datovech was one of 13 triple winners for the Barracudas, while Paul Datovech, Ronny Maier and Ethan Spencer each notched four meet victories. After taking the 13-14 girls 50-meter breaststroke in 40.22, a full second better than her seed time, Datovech analyzed
her work. “I’m trying really hard right now. I thought, it’s the 50 breaststroke, it’s my off race, so I’m just going to go and get a senior varsity cut.” Datovech did so, with ninetenths of a second to spare. She also improved her time in the 100 butterfly, knocking .31 off to finish in 1:07.81. “I really enjoy the synchronization of the butterfly, and
the quick burst of adrenaline that comes with the 50 freestyle,” Datovech noted when asked why they were her favorite events. She has been with the Barracudas since age 5. Other notable wins included Cole Nuckols of Hanover winning the 13-14 boys 100 butterfly in 1:12.16, just .01 shy of reaching senior var-
sity status; the Shark Attack’s Melanie McAdoo knocking 1.16 seconds off her personal best winning the 15-18 girls 100 butterfly in 1:15.13; and Thomas Senfield of Ashland taking more than 7 seconds off his best time in the 11-12 boys 100 individual medley to win in 1:21.97, just 1.64 seconds shy of senior varsity status.
The primary goal for all teams in these final two weeks of the regular season will be to get as many swimmers qualified for Champs as possible. The season-ending event is set for July 27-28 at the Collegiate School Aquatic Center.
First up, however, for the Shark Attack is a Wednesday home meet against Hungary Creek, while the Barracudas welcome Twin Hickory, both at 6 p.m. Rob Witham can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Charity event to benefit Hanover Humane Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND -- Revolution BJJ Ashland will be hosting a charity Muay Thai seminar featuring Jose Aquirre from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 14, at 10393-D Sliding Hill Rd. in Ashland. The $15 event fee will be donated to the Hanover Humane Society in Ashland. Aquirre has been practicing martial arts for 27 years, starting with TKD at the age of 4 and transitioning to Muay Thai at the age of 13. Since that time, he has had an extensive
fight career and has gone on to fight professionally in Thailand under the Fairtex name. Following his professional fight career, Aquirre started to focus on coaching in 2013. Since then, he has produced many champions and has acquired close to 40 championship titles, including the prestigious WBC title, WMO title, and WKA World titled. Recently, he was named the co-head coach for the USA Muay Thai Team at the World Games in Bangkok. Jarrett Church, owner of Revolution BJJ Ashland, said
this was an opportunity to showcase Aquirre’s skill set while supporting the Hanover Humane Society. Church, an animal-lover, adopted his dog “Pepper” from the Hanover Humane Society and said that organizing this event was a great way to help the organization. The July event will concentrate on attacking the legs with a heavy focus on setting up and attacking the lead and back leg. This will allow for control of the ring and allow for the creation of angles for more attacks.
Participants are encouraged to wear appropriate workout clothing and bring gloves and shin pads as applicable. For more information/ to register for this event, call Revolution BJJ Ashland at 804223-0544 or email to jarrett@ revolutionbjj.com. The Hanover Humane Society is a 501(c) 3 non-profit entity providing animal adoption, education, and prevention services in the Richmond, Virginia metropolitan area.

HANOVER TOMATO FESTIVAL
Pizza Race and Relay returning to Tomato Festival
M
Serving all faiths since 1897 Charles D. Morehead, president
– Why pre-plan your funeral? –
Peace of mind: pre-planning takes the burden of making important decisions off of your loved ones during a difďŹ cult time.
ECHANICSVILLE -- The popular and fun Pizza Race and Relay will kick off at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, July 12, at Pole Green Park at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville. Participants will be able to test their pizza eating skills with a team or as an individual and enter for a chance to win Papa John’s Pizza for a year. The race is all about the fun (and the pizza). The extremely short course, only 4 kilometers or 2.5 miles, offers multiple pizza stations where a slice of Papa John’s Pizza will be waiting for you. First place finishers in the male and female divisions that complete the 4K course and consume a slice of pizza at each stop will win Papa John’s Pizza for a year. For the relay, get five of your favorite people (or at least people you know that can eat pizza really fast) and sign up as a team. Each member must run or walk about ½-mile while carrying
a pizza box and consume a slice of pizza at the assigned station. The first team to cross the finish line will win pizza for a year. And each winning team member will win two free large pizzas. Runners are encouraged to come dressed in their “pizza-best� for a chance to win pizza for a year. The entry fee is $20 per individual or $10 per team member and includes an event t-shirt, goodie bag and, of course, pizza. The registration deadline is Wednesday, July 10. For more information on the Pizza Race & Relay, and the event schedule for the Hanover Tomato Festival, visit www. HanoverTomatoFestival. com, emailHanovertomatofestival@hanovercounty. gov or call 804-365-7150. Information submitted by Marcy G. Durrer, recreation program director, Hanover County Parks and Recreation.

A Hanover tradition, all about our famous fruit MECHANICSVILLE -Every year people ask: “Are these authentic Hanover tomatoes?” And every year, event staff and volunteers assure event attendees that “Yes, these are Hanover tomatoes.” Before the event kicks off on Friday, July 12, boxes and boxes of tomatoes will arrive from two Hanover farms (Hanover Vegetable Farm and Rosa’s Garden). Unless you pick them off the vine in your own garden, there is no way to get them any fresher. This year, the festival invites visitors to not only purchase their Hanover tomatoes, but also try a slice of a Hanover Tomato at the Festival Welcome Tent on Friday and Saturday. Official festival merchandise will be available on Saturday as well, with on-site screen-printing from InkT VA. If you have a bigger appetite than just a slice, or can’t wait to get home to have your Hanover Tomato, visit a food vendor for their signature Hanover Tomato dish. Here is some of the delicious Hanover Tomato cuisine on the menus: Fried Green Tomato BLT and Tomato Gazpacho (Carytown Burgers & Fries), Fried Green Tomatoes, BLT, Tomato Sandwich and BLT wraps (Cool Concessions), Tomato/Basil Hand pies (Espresso A Go-Go Catering), Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Island Smoothies, LLC), Fried Green Tomatoes and BLT (Nader's Events and Food Service), T, Fried Green
Tomato Po'Boy and Fried Green Tomato Plate (Simply Street Food). These vendors will be open on Friday and Saturday: Tomato Burger and Caprese Salad (LB Concessions), Tomato Pie, BLT, Fried Green Tomatoes and Tomato sandwich (Rosemary's), Tang Tomato Remoulade Sauce, BLT crab cake sandwich (Sherri's Crab Cakes) Even if eating Hanover Tomatoes isn’t your thing, there’s much more “MaterFUN” to be had on Friday and Saturday. Friday’s festivities include the Pizza Run and Relay (pre-registration required) and fun tomato contests. On Saturday, children can connect creativity and tomatoes by submitting an entry in the Best Dressed Tomato Contest, in the MaterFUN Zone. Vendor booths will be showing their spirit, as they compete for these coveted “Most Spirited” vendor contest. The Hanover Tomato Festival runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Friday, July 12, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, at Pole Green Park at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville. For more information about the festival, including the stage schedule and vendor list, visit www.HanoverTomatoFestival. com or email hanovertomatofestival@hanovercounty.gov.

TOMATO RECIPES Toss some shrimp on the barbie at your next party The popularity of cooking-based television shows has led many people to look at food through a new lens. Experiencing food in new ways may involve trying certain types of cuisine for the first time or even preparing beloved foods in new ways. Shrimp lovers accustomed to shrimp cocktail or other popular shrimp dishes may find that few ways to prepare shrimp can be as flavorful as grilling. Cooking meals over an open flame imparts a unique flavor to various foods, and shrimp is no exception. Grilled seafood can be a perfect light alternative to grilled meats, which can be filling, something many people prefer to avoid when the weather is especially warm. The following recipe for ‘Grilled Garlic Shrimp with a Fresh Heirloom Tomato Sauce’ from Laurey Masterton’s ‘The Fresh Honey Cookbook’ (Storey Publishing) provides a less filling but delicious alternative to more traditional backyard barbecue fare.
Grilled Garlic Shrimp with a Fresh Heirloom Tomato Sauce Serves 6 For the marinated shrimp
Makes 2 cups
Metro
3 pounds assorted large heirloom tomatoes 1 small sweet onion, minced 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon honey, preferably sourwood honey 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips (chiffonade is the formal name for this cut), plus more for garnish Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper
1. To marinate the shrimp, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar and garlic in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add the shrimp and allow to sit, covered, for 1 hour. Stir occasionally. 2. Prepare a medium fire in a charcoal or gas grill. Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning. 3. To make the tomato sauce, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Place one or two tomatoes at a time into the boiling water. Watch them and, as you see the skin split, remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of cool water. At this point, it will be very easy to slip off the skins. 4. Cut the peeled tomatoes into a small dice. Put the cut tomatoes into a large bowl. Add the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and honey. Stir gently to combine. 5. Skewer the shrimp, 3 per skewer. Grill the skewered shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until they are pink. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and a couple grinds of fresh pepper. 6. Just before serving, add the basil leaves to the tomato sauce. Taste and add more salt if necessary. 7. Ladle the tomato sauce onto a serving platter and arrange the skewers on top of the sauce. Garnish with more basil leaves and enjoy! -Metro Creative

Much like St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by people with no trace of Irish heritage, Cinco de Mayo has become a day of celebration for people who do not trace their ancestry to Mexico. In fact, History.com notes that Cinco de Mayo is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, where the day commemorates a symbolic yet not significantly strategic win by a heavily outnumbered Mexican army over French forces sent by Napoleon III to establish an empire on Mexican land. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has become a day to commemorate Mexican culture, including its much-loved cuisine. Home cooks hosting friends or those who simply want to enjoy some homemade Mexican fare can try their hands at this recipe for ‘Fiery Corn Salsa’ from Kelley Cleary Coffeen’s ‘200 Easy Mexican Recipes’ (Robert Rose).
Fiery Corn Salsa
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 2 garlic cloves, minced 36 large shrimp, peeled and deveined 12 6-inch wooden skewers
For the tomato sauce
Serve up salsa
1/4 cup olive oil 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice 2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro 3 tomatoes, seeded and diced 1 & 1/2 cups corn kernels 2 to 3 jalape–o peppers, seeded and diced Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. In a large bowl, combine oil, lime juice and cilantro. Add tomatoes, corn and jalape–o to taste. Mix well until corn mixture is well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour or up to 2 days. Tip: In place of the corn kernels, you can used canned corn, drained; frozen corn, thawed; or corn from the cob, cooked on the stove top. For a smoky flavor, use corn grilled on the barbecue grill. -Metro Creative

Chickpea Salad can be served on its own or as an accompaniment to grilled fare.
Keep vegan guests in mind From food allergies to dietary restrictions to conscious decisions to avoid certain foods for ethical reasons, peoples’ diets tend to be as unique as they are. That can make it tricky when hosting a crowd and preparing a menu. Variety is the spice to life, and having a go-to selection of recipes at the ready can make everything from sit-down dinners to impromptu backyard barbecues that much easier. Vegans eschew all animal products such as dairy, eggs and meats. Vegans must carefully read the labels of foods that seemingly are animal-free, as even certain dairy-free cheeses may contain casein or other animal-derived products. When grilling for family and friends, mushroom and tofu burgers can be prepared specifically for vegan guests, but a versatile salad can be enjoyed by all and make for a delicious side dish. This recipe for ‘Chickpea Salad’ from ‘Vegan Cooking for Beginners’ (Publications International) by the Editors of Publications International is sure to please vegans and non-vegans alike.
Chickpea Salad Makes 4 servings 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained 1 stalk celery, chopped 1 dill pickle, chopped (about 1Ú2 cup) 1/4 cup finely chopped red or yellow onion 1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon salt Black pepper Whole grain bread Lettuce and tomato slices
Place chickpeas in a medium bowl. Coarsely mash with a potato masher, leaving some beans whole. Add celery, pickle and onion; stir to mix. Add mayonnaise and lemon juice; mix well. Taste and add 1/4 teaspoon salt or more, if desired. Sprinkle with pepper, if desired; mix well. Serve on bread with lettuce and tomato, if desired. -Metro Creative Metro
