Wegmans’ project: Brown Grove concerns gain legislators’ support

Light Up!

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

Joel Klein/The Local

Sara Wright-Holloway and Jennifer Morris of Ashland provided their own lights to light up the tracks on New Year's Eve. The Downtown Ashland Association did celebrate the month-long Light Up the Tracks heading into 2021. With a year filled with social distancing and many cancellations due to COVID-19, the tradition continued, albeit in a smaller fashion, for the town that loves trains.

RICHMOND -- A handful of Virginia legislators are adding their names to an effort to dissuade the Department of Environmental Quality from issuing a permit allowing construction of a food distribution center on a site near the historic community of Brown Grove in Hanover County. Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31, issued a press release earlier last month outlining her objections to the proposed permit approval and the environmental justice issues associated with the permit approval. Wegmans announced late last year its intention to build the distribution center on 217 acres located near the Hanover Airport and adjacent to Brown Grove. Neighboring residents immediately organized to fight the project, citing those environmental concerns, disputed wetlands delineations, and other quality of life issues. “For decades the Brown Grove community has faced industrialization — first a highway, then an airport, then a truck stop, then a suburban development, a concrete plant, a landfill, and now a 1.7 million-square-foot distribution center,” Guzman wrote in a social media post.

Guzman said the effects of such a massive project run deeper than just the physical destruction of the areas surrounding Brown Grove. “This isn’t only about historic legacy, it’s also about the environment and quality of life for residents. The distribution center would destroy the wetlands surrounding the Brown Grove community, lower the

to join her in signing a petition to oppose the application. “Allowing the Wegmans Distribution Center to be built here would destroy over 150 years of history and the environment and air quality for the local community. We can’t allow this injustice to continue. Stop the industrialization of the Brown Grove community by signing our petition today,”

“This isn’t only about historic legacy, it’s also about the environment and quality of life for residents. The distribution center would destroy the wetlands surrounding the Brown Grove community, lower the air quality, create noise pollution, and bring increased traffic to the area.” DEL. ELIZABETH GUZMAN D-31

air quality, create noise pollution, and bring increased traffic to the area,” Guzman said. “The quality of life concerns are so bad that families fear their children will leave the area after generations of living in Brown Grove.” Brown Grove is a community steeped in historical significance serving as home to a group of slaves freed shortly after the Civil War. Guzman urged supporters

she wrote on Facebook. She contends the project should be delayed until environmental justice issues can be reviewed by the Virginia Council on Environmental Justice. In a letter to DEQ director David Paylor, Guzman urged that a revised permit not be issued for the project, citing the recent recalculation of wetlands on the property that would be affected by the

project and the environmental justice concerns. Original surveys indicated that only 6.12 acres would be disturbed by the construction, but revised estimates placed that number at 14.8 acres. “The permit must be denied because the wetlands delineation incorrectly states the amount of wetlands impacted,” Guzman wrote in the letter. At its December meeting, the State Water Control Board decided to schedule a special meeting regarding the Wegmans application on Jan. 22. Del. Mark Keam, D-35; Del. Ibraheem Samirah, D-86; and Del. Sam Rasoul, D-11; also signed on to Guzman’s letter, and others voiced support for the Brown Grove community. “The food distribution center has the opportunity to bring jobs to Hanover County, but it must be located in a place that respects community voices, history, and the environment,” Sen. Jennifer McClellan. D-9, said in a press release. Brown Grove was founded by freed slave Caroline Morris, and many of the current residents trace their family roots to Morris.

Recognize a HERO and help build a new house Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE -- Who’s a HERO in your life? A HERO shows up in many different ways in each of our lives: Someone always willing to lend a hand; someone who puts the needs of others first; someone who goes out of the way to make others feel good; someone who puts themselves in harm’s way to save others. Here’s your opportunity to thank them for everything they do. Make a gift in honor of a HERO and they will be honored at the construction of the HERO House. All donations received in honor of your HERO until Feb. 28 will be used for construction of the final home in Hanover Cove, a home that will allow Sherita and her family an affordable and stable place to live. Choose your HERO in one or all of the following categories: z First Responders z Educators z Military Service z Everyday Share your gift and encourage others to make a gift in honor of your designated HERO. The honoree with the highest total of gifts will be named Hanover’s SuperHERO!

About Hanover HERO For the third year, Hanover Habitat for Humanity will honor the heroes in our community at our Hanover HERO celebration. Webster’s dictionary defines Hero as “a person admired for achievements and noble qualities and one who shows great courage.” We define a Hanover HERO as someone who fulfills this definition and in

addition demonstrates the spirit of Helping Encourage Real Opportunities for our neighbors and community members, we call these individuals Hanover HEROes.

HERO HOUSE? New this year, all funds raised for our 2021 HEROes will go towards the construction of Habitat’s HERO House. Sherita is excited to be purchasing the sixth, and final, home in the neighborhood. The average construction cost of a Hanover Habitat home is $100,000 (not including land and infrastructure costs).

14 COMMUNITY Emergency Communications honors awarded.

HOW CAN I HELP? As of Dec. 15, 2020, all cash donations received in the honoree’s name through midnight on Feb. 28, 2021, will count towards the HERO House challenge.

Then share your gift with the honoree and your friends and family – you do not have to share the amount of your gift*. By sharing, it sends a powerful message to your network of friends, family and colleagues that this is important to you and you sincerely wish to make a difference in the lives of your community. 2. Make a group gift: Gather a group together and collect gifts for a specific hero – ex. A classroom or school would collect gifts to honor a HERO teacher. Then share your gift with the honoree and your friends and family – you do not have to share the amount of your gift*. By sharing, it sends a powerful message to your network of friends, family and colleagues that this is important to you and you sincerely wish to make a difference in the lives of your community. *Hanover Habitat for Humanity never shares the amount of an individual gift.

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor

How we can help during today’s drastic times By Melody Kinser Managing Editor received an email last Wednesday from a reader who was very upset -- actually, she used the word “heartbroken” -- when she realized the number of people who are struggling with hunger. She seemed particularly saddened when the reality of those who go to bed hungry set in on her heart. We can help. There are several agencies in Hanover County that will accept donations of food and, of course, financial support. We are blessed to have a significant listing of organizations that assist those in need. These may include food supplies, needs for the

homeless, and housing issues. Among them are: Ashland Christian Emergency Services -- 804-798-2784; aceshanover.org. Circles Ashland -- 804-496-1212; circlesashland.org. First Baptist Church of Ashland Food Pantry -- 804-798-9014. Humankind -- 804-461-3585; humankind.org. Moments of Hope Outreach -- 13400 Hanover Courthouse Rd., Hanover; 804-9139118; www.mo-hope.org. Western Hanover Emergency Action Team (WHEAT) -- 877-559-4328; wheathelp.

org. Beaverdam Food Pantry -- 804-5649384; beaverdambaptist.com/food-bankministry. Commonwealth Catholic Charities -804-285-5986; cccofva.org/services-1. Hanover Safe Place -- 804-752-2728; hanoversafeplace.com. These services are more important than ever as our county struggles with the rest of the country in dealing with COVID-19. Fortunately, Hanover County (as in the government) has partnered with the United Way of Greater Richmond and Petersburg to distribute funding, thanks in great part

to the CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act. Your neighbor, unbeknownst to you, may be suffering due to the burdens the virus has placed on businesses and employers. Do what you can to help. The organizations listed will make sure that your contributions are used to aid those in need. Every little bit helps. I’ve always been gracious in tipping, but I’m going the extra mile for those who work jobs -- as well as some that don’t -- by giving more. We don’t know someone’s situation, but if we have enough, then share. Please, do what you can to help at this time.

To double space or not: Which is right in typing vs. keyboarding By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I have to admit I didn’t realize the benefits of learning to type as I sat in Ms. Griffin’s typing class decades ago. Years later, I’m glad I paid attention to at least a portion of what she had to say. Her words still ring in my mind, “a,s,d,f, j,k,l.” It was a different time when the typewriter was king, and watching someone who had mastered the art was almost hypnotizing, their fingers

moving as a blur as letters quickly became words. Those two semesters of typing have opened a world of opportunities for me, and rarely a day passes that I don’t use those skills to produce copy. For many, me included, typing has become easier than writing by hand, and taking notes on a tablet seems much more efficient that pen and paper. I’m willing to bet my kids have never seen a typewriter, but they’ve spent a lifetime on keyboards, and,

truth be told, they type at a much higher rate of speed than me. So, I was a bit surprised by a question posed by one of them in recent weeks. “Do you put one space or two at the end of a sentence?” one asked. “One,” I answered without hesitation. She explained that some people used two spaces to separate sentences and her teacher said that either way is correct. “No way,” I replied.

I explained how the AP Stylebook was the definitive authority on all such matters and it clearly stated that one space after the period was sufficient. When I attained my first job in journalism, I was an habitual “two spacer”, relying on those lessons learned in Ms. Griffin’s class. I quickly learned that those two spaces looked more like a parking lot when it came to newspaper design, and vowed to never hit the space bar more than once. Following my daughter’s inquiry,

I noticed that many people cling to the two-space system. I scanned my emails to gauge just how many people were insisting on remaining grammatically incorrect and using two spaces to separate sentences. After some research, my suspicions were confirmed and I learned the two-space interval is a leftover phenomenon from our typewriter days. It seems the two spaces were necessary to delineate sentences and allow the eye to follow the copy more easily. When computers entered the picture, formatting made the extra space obsolete, but it was never identified as incorrect. It took the path of the Oxford comma, a sort of accepted form of self-expression not deemed correct or incorrect. After reading several articles on the subject, I realized my daughter was not the only person who questioned the wisdom of having two accepted systems. Researchers and scientists have tracked the path of your eye as you read sentences and see DOUBLE, pg. 8

the Brown Grove Baptist Church has been the centerpiece and gathering spot for the community. Kim Harris-Washington is a descendant of Morris and said the impending intrusion will alter lifestyles and destroy a storied culture. “Please don't allow this under-represented African American community to fall by the wayside. Some land AIN'T MEANT to be developed. Don't erase 150 years of Black Family Heritage,” she said in a press release. Bonica Cottman is the great-great-granddaughter of Caroline Dobson Morris, known as the mother of Brown Grove and lived 93 years in the community.

“Brown Grove may not mean much to other people, but it means the whole world to the people that live here. In the Brown Grove Community, we have endured many obstacles and have had to FIGHT just to remain a community and not conform to becoming a business industrial area,” Cottman said. The efforts to spotlight environmental justice issues are supported by the Hanover NAACP and Sunrise RVA, both calling for an Environmental Justice Review. “The Hanover County NAACP stands with our neighbors in the Brown Grove community and are pleased we can amplify their voices,” said Chris French, Environmental Justice Committee chair of the Hanover County NAACP. “We share the concern this community will be Jim Ridolphi file photo disproportionately Chris French, Environmental Justice impacted by the pro- Committee chair of the Hanover posed Wegmans’ County NAACP, is shown addressing the Hanover County Board of Distribution Center.” Supervisors about the proposed French voiced Wegmans’ Distribution Center. added concerns regarding the wetland delineations included in the application.

Although the areas affected have doubled with re-examinations, French said he thinks the impacts could still be underestimated. A recent visit to property adjacent to the proposed Wegmans site revealed areas that, in French’s estimation, could be considered wetlands. French said he found signs of sphagnum moss, a noted indicator of wetland areas. “We also have deep concerns regarding the flawed proposed wetlands permits and the lack of proper surveys to locate long known about unmarked graves,” French said. “While we remain opposed to the proposed Wegmans’ industrial facility at this location, we look forward to finding common ground solutions with state leaders that will allow a win-win for all interested parties.” Opponents of the project have long contended the environmental justice was discounted in the early approval process, but grassroots efforts have focused attention on the Brown Grove community. A lawsuit dismissed earlier this year filed by five defendants affected by the proposed project has been refiled, according to sources close to the case, and groups opposing the permit approval continue to plan for the yet officially unannounced meeting in January. In an email obtained by The Mechanicsville Local, DEQ officials discussed the possibility of a postponement to the January meeting, citing a need to consult with the Attorney General’s Office and the possibility that more information could be required from the applicant. The email also listed time needed to respond to public comments and prepare a presentation for the SCWB meeting in addition to loss of time due to the holidays.

easier. I don’t discount those findings, but I told my daughter that writers who used two spaces were living on borrowed time, and modern keyboarders would one day be unaware that the controversy ever existed. And, honestly, who really

cares if the extra space survives or what the AP Stylebook dictates? I suppose it’s the same group that grimaces when people put those name tags on their homes and leave in the extra apostrophe. After our discussion, my daughter said the decision to

use one space or two seemed like more of a personal choice issue. Out of respect for her father, she made the choice to use only one. I felt like it was a small victory for the sanctity of the AP Stylebook, but somehow a dig on Ms. Griffin and her dedication to that second space.

Emergency Communications recognizes outstanding officers HANOVER -- This past year has been like no other … each April Hanover County honors its Emergency Communications Officers in a recognition ceremony normally held at the County Administration Building for their dedication, service and sacrifice during the past year. The Hanover County Board of Supervisors establishes the second week in April of each year as Hanover County Emergency Communications Officer Week and praises all Hanover County Emergency Communications personnel for their service, noting the stress and demands placed on them each and every day, along with the great job they do. However, this year that did not happen because of COVID-19 and county officials waited and waited to see if there would be an opportunity to reschedule, but were unable to do so. The sacrifices and service displayed by these personnel should not go unnoticed, so an abbreviated ceremony recently was held so all of those officers selected could receive their due recognition and awards. During this modified ceremony, Elizabeth Limerick was honored as Hanover County Emergency Communications Officer of the Year for 2019. Liz was hired on Oct. 1, 2014, as a Communications Officer and has been serving with Hanover

orange hunting hat, so Walker thought maybe he had stopped to look for a lost hunting dog. Something didn’t seem right, though, and Trost stayed behind while her husband went into the house, finding the home in mild disarray. Investigators believe Barlow fled out a back door after he heard Walker enter the house.

“This entire event has been tragic. This was a senseless homicide. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Carla.” A.A. ‘TONY’ LIPPA JR. Caroline County sheriff

Walker heard gunshots coming from outside, where the authorities believe Barlow fatally shot Trost. As Walker was heading out his front door, he encountered Barlow as he was heading back into the house after shooting Trost. The two men exchanged gunfire and Barlow stole the couple’s car and left the scene. The authorities were summoned at 5:05 p.m. to the home for a report of a burglary and shooting. Sheriff Lippa and several deputies arrived at the scene, where Trost was pronounced dead. The investigation pointed to Barlow as a suspect and ultimately led authorities to a home in Goochland County on Monday, Dec. 28. At about 5:30 that morning, the two suspects drove away from the home and led the authorities

on a high-speed chase along westbound Interstate 64 before getting off at Exit 124 and crashing in Albemarle County. Barlow, who was driving, fatally shot himself as the officers closed in. Pippin was taken into custody. “This case was solved so quickly for a number of reasons,” Lippa said in a statement. “We put the information we had out quickly on social media and almost immediately began receiving tips. The citizens who provided tips are to be commended.” He also credited several other law enforcement agencies with assistance. “This entire event has been tragic,” he said. “This was a senseless homicide. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Carla.” Barlow had been charged with capital murder, attempted capital murder, armed robbery, breaking and entering, grand larceny, possession of a gun by a convicted felon, and a related firearm charge. Pippin faces charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit burglary, conspiracy to commit grand larceny, and grand larceny. On Dec. 29, he was moved from the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail to the Pamunkey Regional Jail in Hanover. With one suspect dead and the other in custody, Trost’s friends and loved ones are left to mourn a great loss and wonder how anyone could want to kill such a kind person. Pam Jordan, who used to work with Trost at the dental office, noted that the authorities believe Barlow had been to Trost’s home before to do

work there. “How could anybody who had ever met her for five minutes have done that to her?” Jordan said. “I’m sure she treated him nice and kind.” Trost’s patients adored her and she was a selfless friend and employee, Jordan said. She knew so much about animals that it was hard to stump her. One time Jordan’s dog ate a corn cob and Trost told her what to do if that happens and how to prevent it. “She could give you advice on almost anything,” Jordan said. Jordan’s husband, Morris Jordan Jr., had started the dental office around 1980 and sold it to Meredith last year. Trost had worked at the practice for about 18 years. “They’re really going to

miss the sound of her laugh around there,” Morris Jordan said. “She had a good easy laugh that put people at ease.” Kristie Hertsch, a patient who started seeing Trost about 14 years ago, doesn’t normally enjoy going to the dentist, but said that Trost was so gentle that the trips were bearable. There were pictures on the ceiling, usually an inspirational quote, that Hertsch could read while she was lying back in the dentist’s chair with instruments in her mouth. Trost would tell Hertsch about all the funny things her cats would do. “She would carry a conversation even if I couldn’t talk because she had tools down my throat,” Hertsch said. “She just made it a little more comfortable. I didn’t feel so scared.”

The Leapfrog Group is an independent national watchdog organization committed to health care quality and safety.

Just like in school, nothing tops an A. “The dedication our team members bring to the patients they serve each day and Riverside’s overall commitment to quality health care have not wavered despite all of the chal-

lenges of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Mike Dacey, M.D., president and chief clinical operations officer for Riverside Health System. “Riverside has always prioritized patient safety and achieving an A grade yet again is a testament to the dedication and tireless work put in by every member of our staff.” Riverside Walter Reed Hospital in Gloucester completed a $55 million renovation at the end of 2019 that added a two-story surgical and inpa-

tient services building, doubled the capacity of the emergency department and added state-of-the-art technology to the expanded operating rooms. New LED surgical lights are brighter and emit less heat than their previous counterparts at the 67-bed facility. The project was the most significant in the 40-year history of the hospital. “We improved every aspect of see SAFETY, pg. 17

PREZIOSO, Richard Charles “Dickie.” Devout husband, father, grandfather and friend, Richard Charles “Dickie” Prezioso, of

Mechanicsville, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, December 22, 2020. Dickie, born on July 21, 1943, was the oldest of six children born to the late Joe and Margaret Prezioso. He is survived by his three children, Rich Prezioso (Anna), Ronni Prezioso Wiles (Frank) and Robbie Prezioso (Rose); grandchildren, Lauren, Sydney, Grayson, Reese, Corban and Kendall; stepgrandchildren, Colby, Robby and Chelsea; and stepgreat-granddaughter, Macee; a large extended family and close friends. Dickie was preceded in death and is now reunited in heaven with his wife, his love, Peggy Lee Schutt Prezioso. He was employed by VEPCO/Virginia Power for over 40 years, where he worked tirelessly to make sure everyone’s lights stayed on. A founding parishioner

of Church of the Redeemer Catholic Church and a charter member of the Albert E. Chipman Council of the Knights of Columbus, Dickie was also that outgoing friendly guy that you could count on to tell a corny joke, whistle while he worked, strike up a game of poker, watch a good western movie or sing out loud to old country songs. There were no strangers in his life, only friends he had never met. Dickie will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, at Church of the Redeemer, 8275 Meadowbridge Rd.

Hanover schools ready for winter sports By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Hanover County sports teams, including indoor track and field, began their winter seasons with tryouts that started on Monday.

MECHANICSVILLE – Last year, high school sports seasons ended prematurely during the winter season. It seems fitting that, for Hanover County and a few other school systems, that competition resumes – albeit after a delay – in the winter of 2021. While some area schools systems, particularly Henrico County and Richmond City, have opted out of winter competition, Hanover County schools joins a handful of others in the region in starting their winter seasons this week. Tryouts for the four county schools – Atlee, Hanover, Mechanicsville and Patrick Henry – began Monday, with actual competition beginning next Wednesday with a suite of boys and girls basketball games and a gymnastics meet. This winter season will not be typical – and not just because of its late start. During the regular season, Hanover teams will only be allowed to compete against other Hanover teams. Attendance will be greatly restricted, and while basketball typically features double-bills of boys and girls games, no double-bills are on the schedule this season. At present, each basketball team will have nine regularseason games. Four gymnastics

meets and 10 wrestling matches are scheduled. Swim meets are scheduled on three consecutive weekends starting on Jan. 16. All will be held at Burkwood Swim & Racquet Club. Indoor track and field – a bit of a misnomer because all scheduled are polar bear meets, i.e., held on outside facilities – will be held on three consecutive Thursdays beginning on Jan. 14 in a dual format. Another meet is scheduled at Atlee on Jan. 30. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com. Boys basketball (All games start at 7:15 p.m. unless noted.)

Just wanted to write a quick note to say how pleased we were with the recent sale of our home through The Tripp Hogg Team with ERA Woody Hogg & Associates. Tripp and Cammy were right there with us, guiding us through each step of the process Their knowledge and professionalism helped make everything go smoothly. I would highly recommend this team if you are looking to either buy or sell a home. Ric DiBagno

Tripp knows his stuff!. He came to our first meeting with a list of recent sales & he told us why each house sold for what it did.Tripp displays a calm confidence that comes from years of experience and a passion for what he does.We knew, right away, that he was he one to sell our home.After walking through our house &evaluating the market, he came up with a price that was higher than we anticipated.And he delivered! Our house sold in less than seven hours for over asking price!WhenTripp is on your side, he is“all in.”He makes sure all of the little things are addressed & he keeps things moving. He always gave us his full, personal attention.Tripp is the friendly neighbor whose super power is real estate! Cliff & Jen Robinson
