School board to consider changing schools’ names Local NAACP appealing recent dismissal of lawsuit

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — Hanover County School Board members will meet on Tuesday, June 23, to discuss the names and mascots of Lee-Davis High School and Stonewall Jackson Middle

School.

Board chair John Axselle announced the intentions of the board to schedule a closed session meeting that will take place before members gather for their regular July meeting to address an issue that has been highlighted by recent

protests across the nation.

Axselle said at last Tuesday’s regular meeting that details of the meeting will be announced when available.

“As a public body, we are entrusted with serving and educating students from diverse backgrounds. Without exception, we remain united in our commitment to provide every child with the highest quality education possible in a safe, healthy and nurturing environment,” Axselle said.

“We believe that racism and hatred have no place in our schools, our community, or our society.”

Superintendent Michael Gill expanded on those comments. “The division administration shares the board’s belief that racism, hatred and any type of intimidation has absolutely no place in our school division,” he said. “We share in the commitment to make that a reality; to con-

Rather, my intent was simply to reinforce our collective and professional responsibility as we navigate these important issues with our students.”

A former Patrick Henry High School student was one of the speakers who expressed feelings regarding experiences in Hanover County.

“Any conversation that makes someone feel uncomfortable is a conversation worth having,” Joey Coles told the crowd.

“Growing up in Hanover County schools and attending school every day is being 10 years old and having to come home and ask your parent what is the ‘N’ word.

“Growing up in Hanover County schools is informing the administration of racist remarks, homophobia and any other form of bigotry and hate and then listening to the sigh instead of allowing room for justice and adequate action,” Coles added.

“Growing up in Hanover schools is being my history only during Black History Month,” Coles said. “I experienced this first-hand, not only the hate from my peers, but also the disbelief in my future from those I called teachers.”

The group is not only demanding the school name changes, but also the banning of Confederate-based or themed displays or the Confederate flag on school property.

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- About 150 people showed up at the Central Office of Hanover County Public Schools for what was described as a community school board meeting in Ashland last Tuesday, about an hour before the regular meeting of the Hanover County School Board was to get underway in the ongoing virtual format.

Several former students and parents spoke to a crowd that showed its support with numerous banners and frequent applause.

Alicia Neumann, one of the Together Hanover-sponsored event organizers, said the meeting was called in response to perceived inaction from the school board regarding several issues, including the changing of two racially offensive named schools and mascots.

“As an organization, as a community, we are coming to speak out against the inability of our county leaders to recognize that hatred doesn’t have a home here, and that the names of the schools represent something that should have been put to bed years and years ago,” Neumann said.

She noted the names not only affect African American students negatively, but also send the wrong message to all students. “The Confederatenamed schools hurt the black students who are attending the school and also hurting the

white students by making them think that white supremacy is OK when it’s not,” she added.

Together Hanover is requesting action on several items, including the school name changes and creation of a third-party commission to guide Hanover schools regarding racial injustice, and the resignation of school superintendent Michael Gill.

Another demand, the termination of Hanover High School principal Kristine Reece, stems from an email she sent to teachers that some viewed as censorship.

Responding to reports of teacher comments on social media regarding ongoing protests and other current events, Reece wrote in an email to staff: “I need to remind you, that as employees and educators, you are to be mind-

ful of posting on social issues.

Please remember that we must remain neutral so all students feel welcome in our class and our building.

“Oftentimes, we have the best intention of making sure students feel welcome and in the process unintentionally ostracize others.” The email continues: “Please do not create a situation where your compassion and love for people impacts your students, your classroom, or school community as we must not comment on social issues.”

Reece sent another email several days later that offered an apology for those who had received her message with unintended meaning. “I care deeply about our students, families, and staff of color, and I wrote my message from a place of conscience and compassion

ing. COVID-19 has challenged us to rethink every aspect of our daily lives, and the events that have unfolded in our community and around the nation have understandably stirred a wide range of emotions and questions within us all as we struggle to comprehend the deep-rooted and complex issues that we face, such as eliminating racism and hatred.

Arguably, the future may seem to be the most uncertain it has been for a graduating class in several decades.

However, you are not just any graduating class. You are the Class of 2020! You have the ability to turn uncertainty into meaningful action. Now, I can honestly say that I have had admiration and hope for every group of seniors that I have had

tinue to open lines of communication; and to build on our own understanding through dialogue, professional development and engaging in cultural competency and additional training for staff and students.�

Board members returned from last week’s closed session meeting with no announcements.

The board last addressed the issue in 2018 when a 5-2 vote in favor of retaining the names and mascots prevailed.

Last August, the Hanover Chapter of the NAACP filed a federal lawsuit demanding the names be changed but that case was dismissed earlier this year.

At the time of the dismissal, Hanover NAACP president Robert Barnette said efforts to convince the local school board to take action would continue, and several recent protests have focused on the need for a change.

Those continuing efforts include an appeal to the recent

the privilege of serving during my tenure. I have thought that each class’s prospects for making positive contributions to the world were exceedingly strong. Still, there is something truly special about your class.

You began kindergarten the same year that the iPhone was invented. You came of age during the rise of social media, witnessing its power to bring people together when used appropriately. You have already lived through recessions and bull markets, war and peace, and triumphs and struggles.

Those experiences and so many more led you to this, your senior year -- a year you looked forward to with great anticipation. Many happy memories have already been created at various sporting events and performances, homecoming, goofing off at lunch or in the hallways, and

completing those class projects that you thought would never get done. All of this occurred of course before the phrase “social distancing� was even part of our vocabulary. Then came March. The abrupt ending to your senior year was something that, frankly speaking, none of us saw coming.

While incredible efforts were made by so many to restore some semblance of normalcy, there are no words that will bring back proms, award ceremonies, and last hugs.

Despite these disappointments, you didn’t just adapt to the situation laid in front of you. Rather, you thrived and you were resilient! With the help of your incredible teachers, administrators, school counselors, support staff, your parents, and others, Zoom, Schoology, email, phone calls, and packet pick-ups became

your new classroom. You found remarkable ways to connect with friends and offer encouragement when it was needed. Many of you found ways to give back to and support those hurting more than you. You found that pushing the pause button on many of the daily activities that usually rule our lives is not such a bad thing. You discovered that you do, in fact, need to slow down for a minute to smell the proverbial roses and be more reflective. Or perhaps, more aptly, pause to binge watch the new Netflix series.

You are the Class of 2020.

Of course you thrived, and you will continue to do so. You are unlike any class before you, and you will share that bond for the rest of your lives. The leadership guru Zig Ziglar once wrote, “You were designed for

dismissal filed last week by the local chapter of the NAACP. In a press release, Barnette said “African American students at Lee-Davis High school and Stonewall Jackson Middle School confront everyday messages from the schools that they are less worthy than their white counterparts. These messages are harmful.�

Barnette said recent protests have enforced the idea “that ‘Black Lives Matter’ are indeed worthy of dignity and respect.� “In the continued pursuit of justice and to ensure that all students regardless of race have access to an equal education in the Hanover County school system, the Hanover County Branch of the NAACP, the Washington Lawyers Committee, and Covington and Burling have initiated steps to appeal the District Court’s dismissal of our lawsuit against the Hanover County School Board,� Barnette said. “We firmly believe that we are on the right side of the law and on the right side of

history.�

In other matters, school board members approved a plan to rectify a shortfall in the school’s nutrition program caused by the COVID-19 crisis and resulting in the closing of schools on March 13.

Assistant superintendent of Finance Terry Stone said the program is facing a $1.2 million shortfall due to the decreased number of meals served during the closure, resulting in final figures less than anticipated.

Stone said that deficit will be justified by transferring fuel and electricity savings incurred during the shutdown, and $500,000 from the contingency fund.

Board members also approved a plan that allows all elementary schools in the county to have a uniform opening bell schedule.

The plan improves efficiency and allows more flexibility for drivers and eliminates eight bus driver positions that will not affect any current employees.

Bus driver positions are still open and applications are welcomed.

Congratulations to HCPS’ Class of 2020

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

W

hile commencement ceremonies for Hanover County Public Schools’ Class of 2020 will be different than most years, kudos to the division’s leaders for organizing options for the graduates.

Rather than saying different, let’s go with unique. And we’ll add memorable to that -despite a format unlike previous events.

To the class, we send our heartfelt and sincere congratulations as the graduates venture into a new world full of excitement and opportunities.

It’s time for adulthood. But, by saying that, I hope those who attend college or technical school enjoy the experience.

Like high school, the years following provide

limitless possibilities in determining the next steps and educational benefits.

I can sympathize with those graduates who yearn for the traditional pomp and circumstance.

My graduation -- all those years ago -- had its hiccups, to say the least.

My maternal grandfather passed away, heavy downpours of rain were heard during the baccalaureate service, I was meeting this guy’s entire family for the first time, and flooding delayed our graduation.

What a week it was -- and it was heartbreaking for Mom to lose her father at a time in my life that was so significant. I repeatedly reassured her not to worry about me. That guy I mentioned came through like a trooper through all the chaos.

I was surrounded by friends who offered incredible support through a difficult -- yet excit-

ing -- time in my life. I know that sounds weird, but that best explains the situation.

Anyway, I am so impressed by the attitudes of the graduating classes of Atlee, Hanover, LeeDavis and Patrick Henry high schools. They missed Prom, which is like a rite of passage. And now commencement is being handled in a (I’ll say it again) unique manner.

We are always so proud to share the stories of the honor students. The series wraps up on today’s front page. Kudos to the brightest and the best. It’s so impressive to learn about their future plans.

Graduates, this is your moment. Shine bright.

We wish you all the best and pray that your dreams come true on your path, whatever career or vocation you may choose.

We’re glad to be part of your ride. Enjoy the moment and cherish those memories.

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I wasn’t sure what to expect when I met with a group of friends last week at a small picnic table peacefully located beside a lake for a remotely delivered lunch.

It was our first gathering in months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and our bi-monthly restaurant visits seem like distant memories from a quickly disappearing past.

For most of us, the lunches serve as a way to catch up on news of friends, often concentrating on whom is the latest to move to Florida.

It’s a diverse group of friends, uniquely united by our differences rather than a group of common interests and we agree on very little.

Some of the informal group are old band members and we revel in memories of past performances. Others are high school acquaintances and some

It is my prayer that the editors of the Richmond Times-Dispatch and The Mechanicsville Local will strongly oppose this decision

by Governor Northam and your readers by the thousands will let this city and state know of their disapproval of this terrible decision.

Hopefully, enough Richmonders, as well as Virginians, will take this matter to court so that this terrible decision will be overturned.

This current practice of trying to rewrite history is stupid.

People from all over the

world come to Richmond to drive down Monument Avenue and glory in its beauty and impressive historical statues.

To destroy all that is not only foolish but historically shortsighted.

Letter makes good points on quarantine That was a very good letter by Wilma Lawrence that “Citizens should decide

whether to quarantine.” She makes some very good points in reference to our democracy.

In fact, thousands of protesters across the country have made that their message.

However, in the case of a serious pandemic without any hope of a vaccine anytime soon, and without and medicine to stem the tide, it may be best to let the expert scientists and those familiar with this situation over many years advise our authorities about the use of masks and social distancing until we see signs that the virus is not spreading as fast as it was.

The Carmel School Middle/Upper School Building Completed Ruther Glen, Virginia – Almost 12 months after breaking ground in 2019, the new Middle/Upper School building on The Carmel School campus has been completed, ahead of schedule. This was announced by Carolyn Williamson, Head of School.

“While schools are closed during this Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we’re happy to announce the new Middle/Upper school building has been completed and will open when the stay-at-home order is lifted. In the past few weeks, faculty and staff have been practicing social distancing to prepare for the move. There is excitement about the state-of-art facility, but also there is an excitement that it will provide a place to prepare students for success in our ever-changing world,” said Williamson. “I would like to thank the many contributors to the success of this project including RRMM Architects, Kenbridge Construction, and the Board of Directors who worked together to make it possible to accomplish this project on time,” she continued.

Located on the western side of campus, the school building was designed by Jack Clark of RRMM. Altogether, almost 30,000 square feet will be available to faculty and students. The new Middle/Upper School building will have the capacity of 19 classrooms, two science labs, administration offices, and additional meeting space.

The Carmel School will celebrate the official opening and inauguration of the new building soon with a ribboncutting ceremony.

The Carmel School is in the Reedy Church district of Caroline County.

Ronald D. Reed Beaverdam

Identity labeling flawed Undoubtedly, the highprofile viciousness Derek Chauvin unleashed to cause George Floyd’s death will be severely punished.

This horrific crime and other instances of Caucasian policemen applying excessive force to subdue AfricanAmericans creates the perception that random, racial profiling is standard behavior in law enforcement. But is this reality?

Given the media’s healthy appetite for rogue cop stories, the relatively few instances

misguided.

Everyone at the table commented on the topic, and the conversation quickly evolved to politics.

“This governor doesn’t know what he’s doing,” one commented.

“I’m glad we have him,” another responded. “We need a doctor in the house during this crisis.”

It didn’t take long for me to realize that this discussion was not headed for any resolution, and, for some reason, some at the table seemed disturbed by the back and forth.

I could have said more.

Does the fact that some people refuse to follow guidelines issued by health officials and people who know much more than I do about highly transmittable viruses concern me?

brought to the public’s attention suggests that raciallyinspired police brutality is merely a by-product of the laws of probability and inadequate psychological filtering of potential misfits before handing out badges, weapons and authority.

If nothing else, perhaps Floyd’s death will lead to continued improvement in screening applicants.

Irrespective of Floyd’s race, peaceful protests aimed at spotlighting Derek Chauvin’s behavior are necessary and appropriate.

The destruction of property, looting and other violence instigated by anarchist ringleaders are quite the opposite.

In all likelihood, the felonious backlash had little to do with concern over Floyd and instead a result of motivated opportunists taking advantage of a situation.

As for identity-labelling groups based on the actions of a few, society would be best

served by purging the concept; among other groupings in society such as racial that would benefit, law enforcement agencies would also be included.

Certainly, the embers of bigotry are not completely extinguished in America; racial integration continues to evolve after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. blazed the long-awaited trail in the 1950s and ’60s with the support of Christian-spirited Caucasians.

Today, most Americans rightly condemn racism.

Regrettably, the initiative to remove historic Civil War memorials is nothing more than a political gesture that cannot heal the emotional scar from centuries of social injustice inflicted upon AfricanAmericans.

The only proven salve is how we treat each other, found in Holy Scripture, not in a government handbook.

Daniel Corso Mechanicsville

Absolutely.

And, yes, I wanted to say that my mask protects you and your mask protects me, but it wasn’t the time or place.

Now, friends can disagree about just about anything and it really doesn’t matter and the conclusion seldom comes with long-term consequences.

It’s the basis of our years of combative banter, and the differences in philosophy often provide enlightenment, at least when my side of the argument prevails.

We departed and went our separate ways, me on the way to the grocery store and my buddies heading to places that hopefully don’t require masks.

I took special note of the sign on the door of the grocery store stating that no one could enter without a mask. It somehow provided me with more confidence in my position.

That moral victory was

short-lived as I entered the store and noticed numerous shoppers who decided the rules weren’t for them either.

I suppose the encounter with friends and the visit to the local supermarket reinforced the idea that almost everything in America today has some sort of political implication -even the decision whether or not to wear a mask.

While it doesn’t seem like a philosophical decision to me, I get the fact that some are reluctant to accept any governmental edicts.

When it comes to my friends, do they get a pass for being inconsiderate and somewhat set in their ways even when it affects their fellow citizens?

Well, they’re still my friends, but in the years I’ve known most of them, one thing has become abundantly clear: You have to pick your battles.

Pets of the Week

Congratulations to the graduate!

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Crackers, Animal ID# 575434, is a 1-yearold male domestic short-haired feline. He has had his first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Crackers is a healthy young cat who was surrendered to the shelter last week.

He is a sweet boy who loves to be around people.

Crackers is playful and entertains himself with his cat toys. He seems to be well littertrained. Crackers will make a good indoor house cat.

Rufus, Animal ID# 575337, is a 10-year-old male Labrador Retriever. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Rufus is a sweet old man who came to the shelter as a stray. He arrived with a very bad ear infection. The shelter has since given him veterinary care and he is doing so much better! Rufus has a very friendly disposition. He loves people.

Rufus has become very comfortable carrying his chew toy around with him. He also does great on a leash.

Rufus is the perfect dog for someone looking for an older companion. For more information on these great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day.

The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays. You also can visit the website to see other animals available for adoption at http:// hanovercounty.gov/Animals/Adopt-a-Pet/.

Pantry staple repurposed to fight mosquitoes Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

RICHMOND — Most people know cornstarch can be used for cooking, as a stain remover and as a deodorizer.

Now they can add insect repellant to cornstarch’s expansive list of applications.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service announced its scientists in Peoria, Illinois, are using the starch to make products that can fight insects, including mosquitoes.

Researchers convert starch into a class of materials known as amylose-inclusion complexes. The complexes can be combined with essential oils the reunion, which was sched- from plants toxic to mosquiuled for June 20 to sometime in toes, creating an emulsion.

September due to the COVID- Once blended, the complexes surround the oil, protecting 19 situation.

it from heat and oxidation, which can reduce its potency.

Safe for the environment but toxic to mosquito larvae, the emulsion can be applied to larvae habitats, such as water catch basins and old tires.

The substance disperses in the water, allowing it to contact and kill larvae. Lab tests showed the emulsion killed the

larvae of yellow fever mosquitoes in 24 hours.

According to the USDA’s announcement, researchers envision using the emulsion to help control mosquito populations and prevent diseases like West Nile virus, yellow fever, dengue and Zika.

“This is a terrific development,” said Tony Banks, senior assistant director of agriculture, development and innovation for Virginia Farm Bureau Federation. “As an insecticide, this type of product could be environmentally safer and pose fewer exposure risks. Naturally, this technology could lead to greater demand for corn as more starch-based products are developed.”

With humidity and rainy weather, Virginia’s spring and summer make an ideal climate

for mosquitoes, which are harmful to humans and animals and spread debilitating, sometimes fatal diseases.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Virginia had 1,319 cases of mosquito-borne diseases between 2004 and 2016.

The most prevalent such disease in Virginia is West Nile virus.

Farmers and their animals spend a lot of time outdoors and can be especially vulnerable to mosquito-borne diseases. Many farms have sources of standing water that make ideal breeding grounds for the pests, including ponds, containers and drums, and ditches that collect water. This new technology could lead to new alternatives for controlling

Avoid grilling accidents as barbecue season heats up Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND — Memorial Day marked the start of outdoor grilling season for many barbecue enthusiasts. Now that it’s time to fire up the grill, it’s important to do so safely.

Each year, about 57,000 grill fires occur on residential property, resulting in 100 injuries, 10 fatalities and $37 million in property damage, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Most grilling accidents are caused by grills that haven’t been properly maintained.

“Always inspect your grill before using it to ensure that it will operate properly, and always practice safe barbecue habits,” said Scott DeNoon, farm product and underwriting manager for Virginia Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Co. Whether grilling with gas or charcoal, be sure to follow manufacturer instructions on how to properly set up and maintain your grill.

Additionally, search the Consumer Product Safety Commission website to check for any safety recalls on your

Metro Creative Services

grill.

When using charcoal grills,

use starter fluids designed for grills. Never use gasoline, and limit the amount of starter fluid. If a fire needs rekindling, add more charcoal if necessary, as too much liquid fuel can start a flash fire.

For gas grills, regularly check grill hoses for cracks, holes and brittleness. Hoses should be directed away from hot areas or where grease could drip on them. Gas leaks can be checked using a soap and water solution that will bubble at points where gas could escape.

When grilling, operate the grill in a stationary position

on a level surface at least 3 feet away from nearby objects including homes, trees or shrubs. Only grill in well-ventilated areas to avoid carbon monoxide exposure.

Protect yourself by wearing a heavy apron and oven mitts that reach over your forearm.

Never grill near others, and remove children and pets from the grilling area.

Keep a fire extinguisher, hose or bucket of water nearby. Should a fire occur that cannot be controlled by a fire extinguisher, call 911 and treat any injuries immediately with a first-aid kit.

Funding gaps for rural infrastructure have intensified during pandemic Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com WASHINGTON — The nation’s roads and bridges are in disrepair —particularly those in rural areas. And as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause economic disruptions, financial investment for road maintenance falls further behind.

According to a report recently published by TRIP, a national transportation research nonprofit, the U.S. faces a $211 billion backlog in needed repairs and improvements to rural roads, highways and bridges. And that number is expected to grow. Decreased travel resulting from the pandemic is projected to reduce state transportation revenue by at least 30% — or about $50 billion — over the next 18 months, stated the TRIP report.

supply chain,” said Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, in a news release about the TRIP report.

Improving roads and bridges is a critical issue for rural localities as they face unique challenges. Rural roadways lack many safety features such as guardrails and rumble strips, and have higher rates of fatal traffic crashes. In fact, the report found traffic fatalities on rural non-interstate highways occur at a rate more than double that of all other roads.

Additionally, rural roads and bridges cannot sufficiently support increasing freight travel in many areas and lack connections to many communities — ultimately affecting farmers’ competitiveness and economic strength.

The TRIP report found that 13% of U.S. rural roads are in poor condition, 21% in mediocre condition, and 16% are fair. Eight percent of U.S. bridges are in poor condition or are structurally deficient, and 47% are rated fair.

represented Virginia Farm Bureau Federation in the first challenge in 2015. She said the training helped her to better express her ideas in a limited amount of time for the competition.

Pulaski Grow trains youth for working in aquaponics — the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics to grow food indoors. Participants in the program use water from the aquaculture tanks to grow greens, herbs and other vegetables in greenhouses and sell them to community-supported agriculture subscribers.

“The competition was extremely helpful in launching Pulaski Grow, and I will be forever grateful for that opportunity,” Spiegel said.

Entrepreneurs must be Farm Bureau members to qualify as top 10 semifinalists.

Hanover DASH offers expanded services with no co-pay HANOVER -- On Friday, June 12, Hanover DASH celebrated six months of continuous operation, despite the impact of COVID-19. This service provides invaluable transportation to medical appointments, grocery stores, errands, and formal social programs for those 60+ and persons with a disability.

As of May 31, the service has 145 registered riders and has provided 608 trips.

To thank its loyal riders and to encourage new riders to “test ride” the service, Hanover DASH is offering the following enhancements as a pilot program: “No Co-Pay Period” – Hanover DASH is waiving the $6 trip fee on all trips requested and occurring between June 12 and Sept. 30.

Hanover DASH is seeking to be responsive not only by expanding the hours of operation for those on dialysis or now, those who are working, but also to help relieve some of the financial burden many are facing, by waiving the co-pay for the next several months.

State lets prep athletes get back to practice

By Tim Pearrell Richmond Times-Dispatch RICHMOND – While there’s still no timetable for the start of high school games in the fall, Virginia High School League executive director Billy Haun said the phased-in approach announced by Gov. Ralph Northam is a start.

“We’ve taken a big step forward, but we haven’t gone all the way,” Haun said. “That will be based on the [COVID-19] numbers.”

Schools have been shut down since mid-March, with spring sports canceled and fall sports up in the air. Northam announced on June 10 a plan for the phased reopening of schools, with sports starting to phase in with a lot of limitations.

Currently school districts are in the first of three phases, with no athletics or extracurricular activities permitted.

Phase II will allow individual and team-based practices and conditioning, and Phase III will allow athletics and extracurricular activities to continue with “some mitigation measures.”

Phase III does not address when competitions can resume but says more guidance “will be forthcoming.”

To get to Phase II or Phase III, public schools will be required to submit plans to the Virginia Department of

Off-season workouts, like this practice at Lee-Davis last year, were allowed to begin Monday under a plan announced by Gov. Ralph Northam and implemented by the Virginia High School League. The VHSL will determine later when competitions can start.

Education to mitigate the risks of spreading COVID-19.

In a release from the VHSL, Haun said the league will review the documents and “will move as quickly as possible to develop guidelines that will align” with the governor’s plans.

“I really want to emphasize to people that they need to be patient, but they also don’t need

to be discouraged, because things change quickly,” Haun said in an interview with The Times-Dispatch. “Think back to where we were eight weeks ago. Eight weeks ago we were in a very tough spot. . . . Eight weeks forward from now we could be in a very different place.”

The league’s executive com-

mittee on Wednesday voted to begin out-of-season activities — as well as lift the dead period from June 29 through July 4 — in accordance with the plan for the phased reopening schools announced by Northam.

The VHSL executive committee is scheduled to meet June 25 to discuss the fall season and July’s out-of-season practices.

According to current plans, teams were permitted to begin off-season activities on Monday.

The first day of in-season football practice may begin as early as July 30, with most other fall sports having an Aug. 3 date for first practices.

“The VHSL Executive Committee believes that getting students back into some level of

education-based activities will be supportive of their physical and mental health and wellbeing,” Haun said in a release.

“Allowing students and coaches the opportunity to begin outof-season extracurricular activities and athletics will allow school communities the ability to begin moving in a positive direction.

“Our student-athletes have been out for over three months.

Conditioning and acclimation will be critical as coaches and athletes prepare for the upcoming fall season.”

The VHSL also said its sports medicine advisory committee is finalizing guidelines for the reopening of sports/ activities.

According to Phase II of the governor’s plan, “Athletics should be limited to individual or team-based practice, skillbuilding drills or conditioning activities that allow physical distancing at all times.”

“The Virginia Department of Health recommends that no youth recreational/school sports competition take place in Phase II, unless physical distancing can be maintained at all times (e.g. individual swimmers showing up at scheduled times to have their event timed, etc).

Competition that involves contact with other athletes should be avoided.”

Staff Report news@mechlocal.com NAGS HEAD, North Carolina – Mechanicsville artist Adele Castillo recently captured a first place award for her acrylic, “Conversation,” in the 25th Annual Artist Self-Portrait Exhibition, which will be on display through the Fourth of July holiday at Glenn Eure’s Ghost Fleet Gallery in Nags Head, North Carolina.

Exhibition judge Alexis Joyner, a retired professor of art at Elizabeth City State University, said, “The painting has a very pleasing use of color, and the play between the shape of the negative space and the imagery makes for a strong unified composition. The leading lines in the piece create continuous visual movement.”

The gallery is located at 210 E. Driftwood St. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
