MECHANICSVILLE -- “I think we have a great story to share with you today,�

Economic Development director Linwood Thomas told the Hanover County Board of Supervisors before presenting his 20182019 annual report earlier this month.

This year’s report, according to Thomas, will serve as more than just an intra-county report on economic progress. “We want to use this as a marketing tool.

We want to go out and use this report

to sell Hanover,� he said.

Thomas’ presentation presented supervisors with a view of the local economy, an update on site-readiness in Hanover, the latest business THOMAS investments and announcements, efforts to assist existing businesses, an outline of marketing and

prospect development, and agriculture and tourism. “We don’t want to be reactive, we want to be proactive,� Thomas said, regarding the efforts of his agency in all of those identified areas.

Thomas said Hanover is fortunate in the fact the local economy is not based on any one single industry or business and enjoys a variety of ventures in its portfolio. “We have a well-rounded industry sector base,� Thomas said. see ECONOMIC, pg. 4

Bowles’ goal: help less fortunate

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

Carolyn Bowles is serving as the 2019 Hanover Christmas Mother.

DOSWELL – Since being selected as the 2019 Hanover Christmas Mother, Carolyn Bowles has committed herself to serve in the role to best help others during the holiday season.

She said she was honored to be chosen, adding, “It is my sincere hope that you will support this program that has given all of us an opportunity to help our friends who are less fortunate than we.�

The Doswell Ruritan Club has spearheaded the efforts of the Hanover Christmas Mother

since 1989. It is a non-profit and tax-deductible that, according to Bowles, “depends completely on the generosity of our Hanover friends like you by supplying canned goods and monetary donations from you, local businesses, civic clubs, churches, and our school children.�

Donations received are used to buy meals, clothing, toys, and gift cards. Bowles said they also provide “the financial and emotional support that these families need to celebrate a truly special holiday season. It gives our children in the community a special memory to take back see BOWLES pg. 4

HANOVER -The Hanover County Emergency Communications Department is pleased to announce an enhanced service offering to citizens and businesses within Hanover County.

The Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) is a national service that is the next generation for automating the delivery and processing of information from

alarm monitoring stations needing emergency public safety response. This protocol was founded through a joint partnership between the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials, the Monitoring Association, and the International Justice and Public Safety Network.

With ASAP, critical life safety signals and accurate information are processed in

seconds, not minutes, through the NLETS system of state-tostate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) communication, insuring that complete and accurate information is transmitted to the PSAP every time.

The service went live with Vector Security, Rapid Response Monitoring, Affiliated Monitoring, AT&T Digisee EMERGENCY, pg. 3

I am a retired Army veteran who has served our great nation and now I am looking to serve you. My information technology and engineering experience span both public and private sectors. I currently serve as a Cloud Architect providing Infrastructure and Cyber Security services to the federal and state government. This experience can be leveraged to solve issues of rural broadband, information security, and navigating government legislation. It is important for our state representatives to possess a wide range of skills and backgrounds. My S.T.E.M (Science Technology Engineering and Math) background will provide a valuable perspective to the General Assembly. The current delegate, Christopher K. Peace, has served the district honorably for over a decade. I look to serve all the constituents of the district with the same level of selfless service and honor as I served the nation during my military career. During my career as an Army Soldier, I had the pleasure of serving as an EOL (Equal Opportunity Leader). As an EOL, I worked hard to ensure everyone had the same right to a safe working environment, a high quality of life, and opportunities for career development.

Last year, 950 boxes of canned goods were delivered to 466 families, 1,252 children were helped, and 85 senior citizens and disabled received gift cards.

Bowles said the total amount spent was $109,775.46, which included the purchase of toys, clothing certificates, food certificate, and extra canned goods needed.

“Please join me and the Doswell Ruritan Club by giving as generously as you feel comfortable, and I extend to you my appreciation for your support,” Bowles said. “This year, the needs of our children, families and senior citizens and disabled are greatly needed and I look forward to partnering with you in this vital endeavor.”

To donate, send to: Hanover Christmas Mother, P.O. Box 39, Doswell VA 23047.

Vacancy rates for business sites are as low as they have ever been, according to Thomas, another indicator of a strong local economy.

Hanover also boasts one of the lowest unemployment rates in the region at 2.4 percent. “Our labor force is really saturated,” Thomas said. The increases in local residents obtaining those new jobs in Hanover were small and Thomas said “many of those folks taking jobs in Hanover are living outside the county. “Everyone who wants a job basically has a job in the county.”

Last year also continued a trend of increasing average annual incomes in the county. For the past five years, that amount has increased at about 1 to 2 percent a year. “Over the last year we

improved that to 8.2 percent,” Thomas told the supervisors. The healthcare industry, technical and professional services and company management are experiencing the bulk of that income growth in the county. But, he added, “Everyone has to increase their wages if they want to compete and keep their labor force.”

Finding site-ready sites for prospective businesses is still a challenge with the county’s inventory of available sites.

Thomas noted the need to increase that inventory and said last year 1,300 acres (11 new sites) were added to that cue. Those tiered properties can take advantage of Go Virginia and Virginia Business Sites Readiness Program funding, representing a potential $5 million worth of financing available in 2021.

Efforts to increase inventory have resulted in 468 sites characterized by the new initiative, up from the previously available 109 sites.

There’s good news on other fronts on Hanover’s economic horizon.

“Two of our success stories over the last year… are Northlake Commerce Center and Northlake 95, both attributable to efforts taken by the board of supervisors last year.

Thomas alerted board members of the shortage of industrial and flex sites.

“We need product,” Thomas said. “We have companies that want to be in Hanover and we have no place to put them.”

To earn a Purple Star Award, a school must meet six criteria. This includes: A school-based point of contact (POC) must complete Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) training.

The POC works with school administration and military program partners to conduct a school-wide professional development that informs staff of the unique needs of military-connected students and the available resources on the supports available for these students.

“That building is 100 percent leased.

It was 100 percent leased before the roof was put on,” Thomas said. “Major, reputable developers are looking at Hanover to make investments. That’s why we have to keep moving these sites forward.”

Industrial and flex rate sites still remain low due to increased interest in business investment in Hanover.

Purple Star schools retain the designation for three years before being required to reapply.

From the managing editor

It’s up to you as to what happens Tuesday

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

Y

ou’ve got the power, so go out Nov. 5 and use it. There are few, if any, acceptable excuses not to vote. It is your right, your privilege, and your responsibility.

Without hesitation, I can say my mother, who will be 89 on Nov. 10, and I will head to our polling place Tuesday morning.

And what an Election Day it’s going to be. Our pages have been filled in recent weeks with support for and reasons why a certain candidate is the best choice. Yes, without hesitation, I’m going to say it’s going to be a doozy of a day.

We are so fortunate to have Teresa Smithson and her staff in the Voter Registrar/Direction of Elections office taking care of Hanover County’s

voters and precincts. They prepare well in advance and are ready for whatever situation may arise.

They also are some of the nicest and cooperative government representatives I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with in elections.

As always, polls will open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. So you have plenty of time to get out and vote.

And, yes, I am a firm believer that every vote counts. My father instilled in me as I approached the age of 18 about how important it is that I take part in the election process.

There have been times throughout the years, especially when special elections are held on Saturday, that I feel a bit lazy. And then I can hear my dad’s words, and head to the polls.

We do not endorse candidates in our pub-

lications. Our words of encouragement always encourage everyone who is registered to vote.

I’ll admit that there was a time when I was party-driven in my voting choices. Well, it didn’t take long for me to realize that I needed to be better informed about the candidates, their platforms, their philosophies, and characters.

Buford T. Justice, the Jackie Gleason character in “Smokey and the Bandit,” received a vote for sheriff in my home county. Dad never would admit to it, but I always suspected that was his write-in, because he didn’t care for either candidate in the race. He was a serious voter, so I know he didn’t take that write-in lightly -- if he did it.

The bottom line is: It’s up to you -- and only you. Express yourself and stand up for the ability to go vote. Some countries aren’t as fortunate.

Today’s Halloween has become a different kind of scary

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Halloween has become one of the biggest holidays in America. Never mind the fact it’s an unrecognized celebration, and not the first business or service has decided to supply a day off for a holiday that involves ghouls and goblins. But, one only has to drive down a darkened avenue to realize that Halloween has become big business and increasingly glorified, a far

cry from the simple excitement the holiday provided in my childhood.

Not unlike our nation, Halloween is a conglomerate of differing customs and rituals, some darker than others, with origins across the globe. It seems as if everyone who arrived in America from who could count how many distant shores each brought a bit of Halloween with them. As time passed, many of these international customs became instilled in our American

Halloween tradition.

The holiday enjoys a sort of cultish popularity that appeals to almost everyone, and the single evening has the mystical power to bring out the spooky in all of us. It’s hard to imagine another celebration that invokes the sort of dedication that allows full grown human beings to dress like cats, or flying bats.

When I was a child, the holiday was exclusive, and parental involv-

ment was limited to handing out candy while we were out collecting it.

Realizing it’s a different world today, I suppose it’s hard to imagine a gaggle of kids taking over poorly lit streets on a steady course from door to door.

For a kid, it was a magical dash from porch to porch often encountering people who acted familiar, but seemed unknown under a poorly constructed mask. Of course, there was see HALLOWEEN, pg. 8

Reader surprised at number of haters in county First, may I state that upon reading about the recent Hanover County School Board meeting, I am amazed that there are so many haters in Hanover County.

I am a resident of Mechanicsville and my children attended Cool Spring, Chickahominy, and now Atlee schools.

During this time, not once did I ever hear about any issues when it came to children who are living their truth. Yes, there was bullying, and, yes, there were issues with the bus, etc., but no one used the hurtful and derogatory language that was spouted at the Oct. 8, 2019, school board meeting, such as referring to a child as “it.”

Adults who know nothing about a subject should not be pontificating as if they do.

I cannot believe that there was no one at this meeting to contradict these extremely uninformed individuals, who seem to think that they have all the answers. Good thing that there will be educated adults in attendance at 7 p.m. on Nov. 12.

God created us all and God does not make mistakes. Our brain is the organ that tells us who we are and how we feel. If you’re a child who knows inside who you are, but your body doesn’t match your mind/inner feelings about who you are, that can be a pretty scary thing.

Being transgender is not a medical disorder or a choice; it is who a person is on the inside. Some children know right away in the early years of their life, and some children don’t realize it until they go through puberty -- but it is something that cannot be ignored.

HALLOWEEN Continued from pg. 6

always a danger of that broken bag that deposited the fruits of a night’s labor along the sidewalk, or the more unlikely occurrence of having your candy taken by an older trick or treater. But, more often than

not, it was a night that went off without a hitch.

The holiday didn’t have the economic impact it has today.

Candy sales for this year’s effort are counted in the billions and it is estimated that more than half of Americans will take part in some sort of All Hallow’s Eve celebration.

Yes, Halloween has come a long way since those simpler days when candy bars were only handed out by the richest of neighbors. It’s assumed a role as America’s second most celebrated holiday. That position is bolstered with indisputable evidence like almost $6 million is expected to be spent

this year on pumpkins.

Families travel to cities that decorate the town for the holiday while others flock to too many to count haunted houses or farms … or even amusement parks. My kids began celebrating weeks ago; the decorations have been up even longer.

Few things remain from my memories of Halloween, and the holiday has, I suppose, outgrown me. I’ve become sort of a bystander to the energy of the season, and there’s no doubt watching my kids enjoy Halloween has replaced most of my childhood memories when the fuller the bag, the

happier I was.

And the only thing that remains from those wonderful days of the 1950s is the smallest of reminders, a tiny tidbit of days gone by and a different kind of scary — a piece of candy corn.

Some things don’t get better with time.

of the complaining is the parent, and not the child; I truly think that most of the issues lie with the uneducated parent and not the accepting children.

I look forward to attending the HCSB meeting on Nov. 12.

sible for appointing.

James Doran, who has two children in our school system, is looking forward to interviewing multiple interested members from our community while Michael Herzberg responded that he intends to reappoint the current Cold Harbor District School Board representative.

When you have made your decision about who you will appoint before you’ve been elected, community input has been stifled, and a closed process has been created.

As a parent of children in Hanover County Public Schools and a resident of the Cold Harbor District, I want my supervisor to enter the process with an open mind rather than one that circumvents the entire process.

Fellow Cold Harbor residents: Are we looking for a supervisor who is willing to put forth the effort to find the ideal school board representative or are we happy with the status quo?

James Doran has a long history in the Cold Harbor District. His children have attended Cold Harbor Elementary School, Stonewall Jackson Middle School and Lee-Davis High School.

He has been an active volunteer in our schools long before his candidacy and he understands what challenges our schools face.

James Doran is, by far, the best candidate to lead the Cold Harbor District.

A 122 Year Tradition of Caring

8014 Lee-Davis Road, Mechanicsville • 746-8665 www.bennettfuneralhomes.com Bennett Funeral Home was established in 1897 to serve the needs of Richmond families. Since then, this locally owned and operated business has continued to serve the community with its unique combination of caring and convenience.

This tradition of excellence can be seen in four beautiful chapels located throughout the Richmond area: centrally located on Cutshaw Avenue in the city, on Broad Street Road past Innsbrook, on Ashbrook Pkwy. in Chesterfield and serving the Hanover-Mechanicsville area on Lee-Davis Road. All four facilities are under the personal direction of Charles D. Morehead, President.

In a time of need, you can turn to Bennett Funeral Home with trust and confidence. It serves families of all faiths with personal service – before, during and after. There is a long tradition of professionalism and caring.

One way in which Bennett cares for families is by offering a convenient and personalized pre-need program. Through this program of pre-need planning, you can spare your loved ones the burden of making decisions at an emotional time.

Call Bennett Funeral Home at 746-8665 to schedule a pre-planning consultation.

watch the National Geographic special that Katie Couric put together a few years ago; it is quite enlightening.

It is high-time that Hanover County seriously considers a policy that protects all of our children, but especially our LGBTQ+ children, because, like it or not, as a parent of a transfemale, I can tell you that there are many more wonderfully brave children in your schools, towns and families, than you realize. These children deserve the same rights and permissions all children deserve.

There needs to be a way for all children to participate in all activities without ever having stigma attached. If the issue is gym class, then let the child change in the restroom of the locker room, if the other children are actually bothered by them being there.

Transgender issue doesn’t apply with child In reference to the new issue of accommodating transgender students, it is important to first understand that there is no transgender student.

Laws are state to state, but, in researching all states, there are few if any doctors nationwide who will perform gender reassignment on a child.

The exception is on a child with ambiguous genita-

lia at birth, which is very rare and even then surgery is not recommended. (see case of David Reimes). The surgery is upwards to $50,000.

Therefore, we can be assured that there is no transgender child in Hanover County Public Schools, but a child who cross-dresses and may be hopeful for gender change, but it has not happened. Therefore, there should be no issue, just as there was not for West Point Schools when Gavin Grimm was pursing special accommodations (she is still suing everyone as a boy but still a girl as has not had reassignment surgery).

(She is in California hoping to

The following information is from Kenzi Mudge, a vocal LGBTQ advocate: Q: At what age can children have sexual reassignment surgery?

A: At no age.

I have never heard of any doctor approving sexual reassignment for a child. They would likely lose their license.

Children are often not even prescribed hormone replacement. The whole concept of children making decisions about their medical transition is an uninformed, alarmist lie to oppose supporting trans people.

successful years across the Commonwealth … projects like Cascades,” Thomas said.

“It’s one of the largest industrial announcements we’ve had.”

Blue Bell, Publix, two new hotels and 2,200 new jobs are evidence of that success. “Over the past three years, from a fiscal perspective, we’ve had three of the strongest years we’ve seen in the last 10 years, with the past year being the strongest in that period,” Thomas said.

The county’s growth in new jobs is about double the state average. “That’s pretty impressive, in my opinion,” he said.

In addition to the 53 new business announcements, almost a dozen businesses have engaged in expansion projects totaling more than $40 million, including “It’s important that we are making inroads into growing our existing busi-

nesses,” Thomas said.

To further those efforts, Thomas’ department visited 136 businesses during the period and assisted 130 of those existing businesses last year.

“I think a lot of that success comes down to the fact that we are asking the right questions ... to uncover those needs.” the director said.

Last year, 21 businesses in Hanover County were recognized as legacy businesses with more than 50 years of service in the county. “It’s just a way of saying thank you,” Thomas said.

Farms were included in that list of legacy businesses.

After 30 months on the job, Thomas said his goal has been to turn his department into a proactive tool for economic development. “We want to be out there sharing the message of Hanover,” he said. “We’ve revamped our website to make it more user-friendly. People want to access those things

very quickly.”

Website and social media visits recorded significant increases during the last 12 months, and the department has added Google translate so Hanover’s message can be viewed globally.

To further those efforts, Hanover County partners with the Greater Richmond Partnership and other organizations to generate leads, but the majority of leads are department-based.

“Farming is still a critical component to local Hanover industry and the economy,” representing hundreds of millions of dollars a year infused.

Tourism of all sorts continues to increase in Hanover and across the Commonwealth.

Travel spending was up almost 5 percent and lodging taxes increased 3.7 percent.

Thomas said it’s important to keep an emphasis on sports and agri-tourism and continue to attract those events.

children with gender dysphoria is: • Social transition. They are often allowed to engage in activities with other children of the same gender, and they usually dress the same.

• Puberty delay. Because some components of puberty are permanent, and we don’t like transgender kids making any kind of permanent decisions, puberty is medically delayed until, at the earliest, 16 years of age.

At the age of 16, some doctors will approve hormone replacement therapy.

Around the age of 18, trans people start to get options in hormone replacement and surgery.

Ms. Mudge is quoting from law and it amazes me that Hanover County School Board members have not researched this issue to make a reasonable policy based on the fact that there are no transgender students in our school system.

Cross-dressing is not transgender and does not allow for special treatment.

Parents should arm themselves with all the information on the subject they can research and go up against any school that wants to allow boys in girls’ private spaces.

As Dr. Bosher retires, patient recalls visit I join many others who wish Dr. Paul Bosher well as he closes his medical practice and begins his well-earned

retirement.

But I have to admit that he hurt my feelings one time. Yes, he did! It was about 40 years ago when I was pastor of Walnut Grove Baptist Church. I was having some persistent throat problems that wouldn’t seem to go away with my OTC skills. So I went to the Medical Center, the only one in town to see the doctor. Dr. Bosher was the one I saw. He was substituting for one of the physicians there. I think it was for Dr. Wysor.

I explained my problem and he looked carefully at my throat, asked me to make some noises while he was watching.

He checked me over very carefully and then looked again at my throat.

He looked me straight in the face and said with great conviction: “You have the preacher’s disease. You talk too much.”

Oh, it hurt me deeply! It took me years to get over it. (His brother, Dr. Bill Bosher, would have told me that for nothing.)

Of course, I’m just kidding. He has many appreciative friends, and I am among them, for the great work he has done. We send him our thanks and our best wishes for many happy years ahead.

cies will permanently change our Commonwealth from the wonderful place it is now.

Scott Wyatt has been a champion for conservative policies during his entire tenure on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. He’s stood his ground on taxes, funding great public schools that remain among the best in the Commonwealth, and has fought for sustainable growth that allows for new businesses while maintaining our rural heritage.

As a delegate, I have no doubt that Mr. Wyatt will continue to serve the people of Hanover and that’s why I’m asking you to join me in voting for him on Nov. 5.

When the only two choices you have are a strong conservative like Scott Wyatt, and a Democrat who is too scared to actually run as a Democrat because of the district profile, the choice is abundantly clear. Scott Wyatt will make a great next delegate for the 97th District.

Hanover County and its citizens. One of the candidates from the Beaverdam District stated, “If I am elected, I will seek to have our school board members elected.” I can assure you that candidate was not Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley.

I saw red lights flashing and sirens blaring. There is a phrase or word used when someone tries the same thing over and over again and comes up with the same results. Let’s look at counties in and around us that now have elected school board members. How many times have we heard of school board members having legal battles with members of either city council or board of supervisors members or vice versa?

The moment one is elected to something, getting re-elected is priority. What county with a large school system has all of its schools accredited?

Yes, it is Hanover County. Can any county or city in our area with elected school board members claim that? What county in Virginia has the lowest “dropout rate”? Yep, you guessed it, Hanover County.

What county has one of if not the highest graduation rate in Virginia? If you said Hanover County -- spot-on.

I have seen counties that in the past that were highly-rated experience drastic declines in student performance once they initiated having elected school board members. Ladies and gentlemen, we need a level-headed, clear-thinking person elected to our board of supervisors and that candidate is Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley.

APD advises South Center traffic alert Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND -- Due to an overwhelming number of visitors to the Center Street corridor in past years, South Center Street in the Town of Ashland will be closed to vehicular traffic from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Halloween night.

Officer Chip Watts, Public Information & Community Policing for the Ashland Police Department, said the closure will be from Stebbins Street south to Francis Street. Both the Francis Street railroad crossing and Myrtle Street railroad crossing will be open to all traffic.

“In past years, many of our homes on this street have seen over 600 children trick or treating. Coupled with a high volume of motor vehicle traffic and the ever-

existing train traffic, a significant public safety hazard was presented. It is hoped that this road closure will greatly improve the safety of this corridor while we have so many young visitors going door to door,” Watts said, speaking on behalf of Chief Doug Goodman.

The Historic District Neighborhood Watch is providing volunteers for this

effort to serve as ambassadors to the area and to ensure the safety of all visitors. As has been in the past, the Ashland Police Department also will have a presence in this area as well as all other residential areas in town.

APD would also like to remind residents of the following tips for safe “trick or treating”:

A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children on their neighborhood rounds.

If your older children are going alone, plan and review the route that is acceptable to you. Agree on a specific time when they should return home.

Only go to homes with a porch light on and never enter a home or car for

‘Ice Flowers’ topic of Public Utilities garners national awards Clay Spring meeting HANOVER -- Several plants operated by the Hanover County Department of Public Utilities have been recognized as being among the top performers in the nation or state.

The National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) has recognized the Ashland Wastewater Treatment Plant for 20 years of perfect permit compliance and the Totopotomoy Wastewater Treatment Plant for 14 years of perfect permit compliance. Both of these plants have again earned NACWA’s Platinum Peak Performance Award for their operations in 2018.

In addition, the Doswell Water Treatment Plant received an Excellence in Waterworks Operation/ Performance Award from the Virginia Department of Health.

Hanover’s Department of Public Utilities provides utility service to approximately 21,600 water customers and about 21,000 wastewater customers. It is a selfsupporting enterprise fund whose costs are paid for by existing and new customers.

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND – “Ice Flowers” was the topic of the Oct. 8 program of the Clay Spring Garden Club, featuring James R. Carter, PH.D, Emeritus Professor, Geography-Geology Illinois State University.

Ice Flowers are petal-like frost formations that occur on certain plants when mois-

ture is present in soil and air temperature is between 25-28 degrees. For an overview, go to my.ilstu.edu~jrcarter/ice/ radio.

The Universe from the Center: Observatory plans weekly viewings

Visitors from beyond the Solar System are a common science fiction trope, from Arthur C. Clark’s novel Childhood’s End to movies like The Day the Earth Stood Still or Independence Day. In the first two examples the aliens were benevolent.

In the last they were definitely not!

In the past several years we have

seen some interstellar visitors of another sort. Sorry, nobody on board.

A strange object was detected on Oct. 19, 2017, some 40 days after its perihelion passage (closest approach to the Sun). It was somewhat reddish in color, and estimated at 100 to 1,000 meters long and 35 to 167 meters thick. It resembled a rocky asteroid, but none of the catalogued asteroids are that elongated. It could have been a comet, yet it showed no coma or

tail. To make it seem weirder still, it underwent “non-gravitational acceleration as it was being tracked. This latter behavior is seen in some icy comets, but there was even speculation that this was an alien probe of some kind. (There were no radio emissions, so there is no reason to believe that.)

Its orbit was (is) hyperbolic, see CENTER, pg. 18

Based on our conversation, I am convinced that Michael Herzberg would make a very worthy successor to Scott Wyatt and to the late great Elton Wade.

It matters little to me how long Michael has lived in the Cold Harbor District. As one who has four children who attended Hanover County Public Schools, including Lee-Davis High School and Stonewall Jackson Middle School, and as one whose maternal ancestry goes back centuries in what is now the Cold Harbor Distract, my only concern is a candidate’s values.

Michael Herzberg has the conservative values that we as Hanoverians cherish. A vote for him is a vote to keep Hanover great.

Michael T. “Mickey” Reardon Mechanicsville

Supporter says Wyatt supports Republicans The (true) Republican nominee for the 97th House District, Scott Wyatt, supports everything true Republicans believe in and reflects the type

of nominee, I think, every district in the Commonwealth would be fortunate to have.

Support for Mr. Wyatt is critical to help maintain the razor-thin Republican majority in the House of Delegates in the Virginia General Assembly.

However, the former Republican challenger for Mr. Wyatt’s being the Republican nominee for Delegate of the 97th House District, Chris Peace, has not gone away.

I understand that supporters of Mr. Peace are running a strong sub rosa campaign urging these supporters of Mr. Peace to write him in on the ballot for the delegate for the 97th House District on the upcoming Election Day. This campaign is far deeper than the occasional “Write-In Chris Peace” road side signs that have popped up here and there around the area. The only effective way to overcome this rising write-in tide and write-off Chris Peace is to get out and vote for Scott Wyatt on Election Day. John Wetlaufer Sr. Mechanicscville

Changing party for convictions was surprising

Tywana Hampton with interest and wondering where it was going. Well, to my surprise, she has become a Republican because of her conservative convictions. I would support her for any political office!

She stated that “Policy is more important than people.”

That is a powerful statement.

Think about it, in this election for the 97th District representative that could not be truer.

Mrs. Hampton and I were in the same boat when it comes to friendship with Chris Peace and Julie, his Chief of Staff. We both love them but “policy is more important than people.”

On Nov. 5, read Mrs. Hampton’s letter to the editor and vote Wyatt.

Wyatt asked his people if they had the list of names to remove (Chris Peace supporters).

They prevented Hanover County residents from joining the Republican Party in fear they would vote to retain Dale Taylor as chair. Against all their rules, they installed a paid political consultant, Nick Collette.

They kicked Ashley Peace, the wife of Del. Chris Peace, out of the Republican Party for supporting her husband.

Are these the type of people you really support? They have threatened to kick your current delegate, Chris Peace, out of the Republican Party if he does not do exactly what they say. What can we do to send these elite Republicans a message?

In the Oct. 16, 2019, edition, Tywana Hampton writes: “I have a great deal of respect for Chris Peace and his family and his assistant. I love them all.”

Perhaps she can share the love and join thousands of voters who will be writing in Chris Peace for House of Delegates on Election Day. In looking at the numbers as we head into the Nov. 5 General Election: 486 -- The number of votes cast at the Convention; 470 votes were cast for Scott Wyatt, I think. Everything is converted to weighed votes and he got 244 weighted votes, so it is hard to tell exactly what happened. You see in the rigged 97th District, everything is weighed in favor of Hanover County. A Hanover County vote counts more than a New Kent County vote and a King William County vote is the same as a Hanover County vote.

2,448 -- The number of votes cast in the Firehouse Primary. Chris Peace got 2,271 votes. These are actual votes.

A New Kent County vote and a King William County vote are are the same as a Hanover County vote. Think of that.

What a great process.

I think I will go with the 2,271 and write in Chris Peace on Election Day. John Hopkins Mechanicsville

King William resident: write in Peace As your readers get ready to select their delegate, they should remember: Let’s spread the word, Have your voice be heard, Give the 97th District a sign.

It’s really no trouble, First, fill in the bubble, Then, write-in Chris Peace on the line!

Got anarchy rather than monarchy I voted for the monarchy, big mistake, got anarchy instead. Noticing the praise President Donald Trump “from whom all blessings flow” letters in The Local I find they all seem to be themed from the same source, Hannity, Carlson and Fox News.

I am under the opinion that we are now the closest we have ever been to having a dictator.

That will change to a full blown dictator if he gets re-elected.

The guy has hijacked our Department of Justice with scripted acting actors under the direction of himself, fires anyone who does not stick to the script, and can’t be believed in anything he says.

I find it hard to believe a third of the American people will condone this dangerous disregard of our Constitution just to have a Republican president.

For the gift just given Turkey I assume they will have a repayment plan by way of helping in the 2020 election;

Russia is happy with the way things are going so don’t count them out of the 2020 election; China will be more apt to help in the 2020 election with some tariff relief; and soon we should find what North Korean Kim’s role will be.

Amazing how different things look, and sound to an Independent without a dog in the fight.

After three years of daily tweets and speeches from the Rose Garden, Trump has convinced me that he is a genius, successful businessman and legend in his own mind.

The one prediction I make that will surely come true is that Trump backers will be a sorry bunch when Democrats take over and try to control our government the same way they think Trump is entitled to do.

voters was orchestrated.

The first incident occurred at the March 19, 2019, meeting of the 97th District Committee when the Convention “Call” (the official Convention document) was approved. I watched Scott Wyatt’s “proxy” continuously look at his smartphone during the meeting and appear to be receiving instructions on how to vote. He even changed one vote after looking at his phone. I wondered at the time who was instructing him and only later did we all find out that the SCC Bosses were behind the voter theft all along.

The Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) chairman, Jack

with the RPV Party Plan or that RPV legal counsel rulings supported his decision.

Scott Wyatt would be the nominee. What Ryer knew, and I didn’t, was that 53 of the RPV SCC Bosses had decided to overrule their own Party Plan, Party chairman, and ignore its own legal rulings to declare Scott Wyatt as the nominee and they didn’t really care who the voters wanted.

The Bosses were confident that after stealing the nomination, the 75% of voters who always vote Republican in the 97th District would vote for

Wilson, had to cancel the Scott Wyatt-rigged Convention in accordance with the RPV Party Plan.

Rather than not have a Republican Party nominee, the 97th District Committee met again on May 8 and voted to have a Canvass, which would allow all Republicans to vote for a nominee.

It was on the steps of the King William County library a few minutes after the meeting that I spoke with Sen. Tommy Norment’s spokesman, Jeff Ryer. He was confident that it didn’t matter that the RPV chair had cancelled the Convention in accordance

Casually known as Comet Borisov (named for its discoverer, an amateur astronomer using his home observatory), this object was first designated C/2019 Q4 and now officially 2I/Borisov. Already showing coma and tail, this comet is estimated to have a nucleus 1.4 to 6 km in size.

It won’t reach perihelion until Dec. 8, and should be observable well into next year. As with Oumuamua, it was never close to any of our planets.

County girls go the distance in volleyball

Lee-Davis’ Peyton Porterfield (4) tries to tip the ball past Hanover’s Reagan Hill (12) and Anna Loce (7) in the Hawks’ 3-2 win over the host Confederates Tuesday. That same night, Atlee prevailed over Patrick Henry in another five-set match.

October 30, 2019

ASHLAND – If you think it’s tough being a fan of Atlee girls volleyball this year, imagine being their head coach.

Nothing has come easy for the Raiders, fighting for a top seed in Region 5B, and their rematch with Patrick Henry Tuesday night, a team fighting for at least the second seed in Region 4B, was an all-out war.

“I think we surprised them when they came to our place,” said Atlee head coach Curtis Carpenter, referencing a 3-0 win on Oct. 1. “I told my girls, this is a good team, and they’re not going to go away.”

Indeed, the Patriots came out firing, leading 15-8 before a 10-1 Raider run gave Atlee a 23-21 lead. Patrick Henry erased three set points, finishing the first set on a 5-0 run for a 26-24 win. The battle was on.

“We did not give [Atlee] a good effort the last time. To go five tonight and give it our best effort, I’m so proud,” said Patriot head coach Jessica Jones.

The Raiders would take sets two and three before Patrick Henry played their best volleyball in set four, forcing a tiebreaker that Atlee finally wrestled away from Patrick Henry 15-13. Setting, serving, offense, defense – everything was on display.

Atlee, with the win, upped their winning streak to six.

Kaylin Strichman fired 20 kills, while Jada Foreman had 18 kills, and seven big blocks. Bri Brown dished out 27 assists, served five aces and added four blocks. The Raiders needed every one of them.

After Atlee took wins of 25-22 and 25-18, the Patriots turned the tables with a 25-19 Set 4 win. Alexis McNair was everywhere for Patrick Henry (16-5) with 17 kills, three blocks and five digs, while Claire Williamson led all players with 36 assists, adding nine digs, four blocks and a pair of aces.

Getting a small lead early in the tiebreaker was critical for the Raiders, who saw Patrick Henry tie them at 10-10, but never take the lead.

“We gained a lot of momentum in the fourth set,” Carpenter said, noting a late Atlee charge despite falling. “We made a run to make it close, and I told them, you’ve got momentum, you’ve got to keep the pressure on.”

The postseason pressure is just around the corner for both teams, as Patrick Henry hosts Powhatan Wednesday night in a match that could determine the second seed in Region 4B, while Atlee, its season complete, awaits seeding in Region 5B.

C-feds shows plenty of fight in loss to Saints

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Friday night, Lee-Davis hosted one of the top private schools in the state, and one of the top teams in the metro area: St. Christopher’s, ranked No 8 in the Times-Dispatch poll.

For most of the first half, the Confederates were able to hold their own against the Saints, but after St. Christopher returner Nikkos Kovanes returned a Lee-Davis kickoff 79 yards for a touchdown, the visitors held the advantage and prevailed in a 35-14 win.

The Saints may have prevailed, but it’s hard to say they thrived. While Gill Williamson completed 12 of 25 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns, five St. Christopher’s rushers – including Williamson – gained just 103 yards. The Lee-Davis defense forced three Saint turnovers.

“We’ve got to just keep getting better every week,” Confederate head football coach Ryan Turnage said of his underclassmen-laden team. “I think we have, but sometimes we take two steps forward and two steps back. … We weren’t the better team tonight.”

For the first 21 minutes, however, Lee-Davis gave as good as it got, holding its own on the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, making it difficult for the Saints to establish their ground game and helping force Williamson into tossing two interceptions. The Confederate offense matched St. Christopher’s touchdown for touchdown.

The ensuing kickoff produced Kovanes’ highlight-reel touchdown return with 2:53 left in the first half. St. Christopher’s

led 21-14 at intermission.

In the third quarter, both offenses seemed stuck in neutral. While Lee-Davis controlled the ball for much of the frame, the Confederates couldn’t score.

Neither could the Saints.

But at the end of the quarter, St. Christopher’s began a 74-yard drive that culminated in a 10-yard touchdown run

by Trent Hendrick. The Saint defense picked up a bit more energy, dominating the line of scrimmage more and more and keeping Lee-Davis off balance.

“We knew we were going to be undersized this season, and [the line is] all young. … All those guys are tenth graders, with two seniors. They’re all young kids,” Turnage said. “We had some opportunities in the third quarter. We didn’t cash in in the red zone. I think if we score right there it’s a different game.”

The Confederates got to the St. Christopher 10 on the first drive of the third quarter. That was as close as they got in the second half.

Increasingly desperate, LeeDavis attempted to convert on fourth down deep in its own territory. The gambit backfired, as Joyce was sacked for a big loss. The Saints got the ball on the Confederate 19 and took four plays to cover the distance and end the drive on Hendrick’s 9-yard run.

St. Christopher’s increasing strength on the line forced Lee-Davis away from its ground game, but the Confederates could not get the results they desired.

“We got behind and we had to throw the ball, and that’s not what we like to do,” Turnage said. “It makes it hard on the offensive line when you’re down and they’re just teeing off on us see C-FEDS, pg. 29

Raiders scrappy, but outgunned by Springers

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local VARINA – In a game where the score didn’t indicate the play and heart of the Atlee Raiders, four-time defending Class 5 state football champion Highland Springs imposed its will early and defeated Atlee 35-0 to send the Raiders to 3-5 and the brink of elimination in Region 5B. Down 21-0 late in the second, Atlee head coach Matt Gray rolled the dice, taking advantage of the fact that his punter, one of the best in that craft in the state, also happens to be his quarterback.

Tyler Warren found a wideopen Kyle Beck for a 25-yard gain into Highland Springs territory, and, with a minute to go at the Springers 44, it was time to attack.

Kody Ohl stepped under center to find Alex Oliver for a gain to the 29. Then everything changed. Two Atlee penalties and a sack later placed Warren and the Raiders at third-and-41 at their own 40. Warren passed to Caleb Warren, who got to midfield, then absorbed a vicious hit that jarred the ball loose.

Malcolm Greene, who just verbally committed to LSU, grabbed the football, returning it to the Atlee 15. One play later, Juwan Dent found Jamel Johnson in the end zone.

he’s ready.

There was no doubt that the Raiders played Friday’s game with heavy hearts after the sudden passing of Atlee senior Garrett Kirby two days earlier.

Kirby was a baseball teammate of Warren and other football players, but more importantly, a friend. It did not affect their performance, and, if anything, the tragedy redoubled the Raider effort. They fought every play, every moment, until the final seconds elapsed.

Now, Atlee must win out, and get help, for a possible chance at the Region 5B playoffs. First, they must upset 7-1 Varina on Senior Night Friday, then defeat archrival Hanover on Nov. 8. Raider fans will root for Deep Run to defeat Glen Allen and Manchester to knock off L.C. Bird.

“I think that the conversation that [the Hawks] had among themselves between the third and the fourth … kind of fired them up and geared them up to finish the match strong like we did or at least fighting like we did,” said Hanover head coach Greg Knight.

Ellie Myers led Hanover with 10 kills, six digs and two

blocks. Reagan Hill had seven kills, and Leslie Anne Currie had 23 digs and three aces.

Lee-Davis was led by Cate Pendlebury with 12 kills, eight blocks and three aces. Kyley Christian had 15 digs and 14 assists. Julie Slaughter finished with 14 digs, nine kills and eight blocks; and Karla Mehlbrech had 19 digs and two assists.

Both teams traded runs in

the fourth set, and then, when one reached 25 points, the other followed with a score of its own.

Set point after set point was contested before Hanover finally prevailed.

While Knight is not a believer in momentum, it is easy to conclude that the win after the battle of Set 4 helped the Hawks jump out to an early – and dominating – lead in Set 4.

“I try to not led [the team] believe in momentum as a thing.

I try to enforce that momentum is kind of fiction,” Knight said.

“But I suppose that if you’ve been playing well, the trend is to continue playing well.”

Cadets’ QB depth proves too much for Cavaliers

By Liam Nolan for the Times-Dispatch CENTRAL GARAGE – Anthony Fisher had never started at quarterback in a high school game leading up to Friday’s night matchup at King William. But it was hard to tell.

Fisher racked up 243 yards and three touchdowns for Benedictine in the Cadets’ 47-0 shutout of the Cavaliers (5-3).

With starting quarterback Jay Woolfolk out after undergoing season-ending surgery, and backup quarterback Tate Plageman recovering from a broken wrist suffered last week against Woodberry Forest, Fisher, a defensive back, was the next man up for the Cadets (6-2).

“Anthony’s a good athlete and a smart football player.

He doesn’t get wowed by the moment,” said Benedictine coach Greg Lilly. “We’ve known all year that he’s a guy that we could play at quarterback if we needed him. He does a great job on both sides of the ball.”

Fisher was 5-of-8 for 160 yards passing, and added 73 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. One of those rushing touchdowns was a 55-yard tuck and run.

“This was a big win heading into the playoffs,” he said. “I just trusted my coaches and my team, and they had my back.”

That trust is reciprocal.

“Anthony brings another element to our offense in that he can tuck the ball and run 60 yards down the sideline,” said Lilly.

Fisher didn’t do it alone, however. The Cadets’ defense held the Cavaliers to just 240 total yards on offense. On the very first play from scrimmage, Benedictine forced King William running back Jalen Young to fumble. Defensive lineman Joel Starlings scooped

team’s performance, on both sides of the ball.

“We’ve yet to have both an offensive and defensive performance in the same night,” he said. “Tonight we finally got that performance from both the offense and the defense; we did everything in one night, and we haven’t really had that yet this season.”

up the loose ball, setting the Cadets up with great field position.

The Cadets’ defensive line didn’t let up, either. The unit forced another fumble early in the third quarter, sacking and stripping the ball from King William quarterback Lance Alfonso. Defensive lineman Malik James scooped and scored for the Cadets.

“Our D-Line has been great all season, even though we’re banged up,” Lilly said. “Coach Coles, our defensive coordinator, does a great job of putting guys in positions to be able to make big plays. We’ve scored more defensive touchdowns this season than we ever have, and that’s not a coincidence.”

While this year is a growth year for the Confederates, Turnage’s underclass players are gaining valuable varsity experience. And as they grow and learn more, he expects them to develop into a formidable unit in the years to come.
