School division’s return to learn plan offers options By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local
GILL
ASHLAND -- While some school districts across the Commonwealth are opting for virtual-only school openings in the fall and others announcing in-school openings, Hanover County officials have prepared an either/or reopening plan that offers parents and students both options. Hanover County School Board members unanimously approved a relaunch that
allows students to attend school in a normal in-class environment, or select a virtual-only option that allows individualized and teacher-supported remote learning. Superintendent Michael Gill said last week’s presented plan was the product of hours of exhaustive work by staff, teachers, parents and administrators. “I am extremely proud of the task force’s work, understanding that there is no plan that is perfect . . . and it has to be
agile and fluid,” Gill said. “The situation can change in a moment’s notice and we have to be agile as well.” That work was made more difficult by the fluidity and ever-changing nature of the COVID-19 situation, and officials said alternative plans are included in the return to learn program in the event conditions worsen or further directives from Governor Ralph Northam. Several parents and teachers provided
comments during the virtual meeting, expressing concerns with a face-to-face opening, and urged officials to begin the fall with virtual-only instruction. “Please consider a full virtual start to the school, especially considering the additional funding now available to invest in laptops and additional tools for more than just the middle schools,” said teacher Shelley Burnside. “It is irresponsible to see OPTIONS, pg. 13
Confederate school names changed Lee-Davis and Stonewall Jackson being renamed with committee in lead By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- The Hanover County School Board approved a recommendation to change the names and mascots of Lee-Davis High School and Stonewall Jackson Middle Schools. On Tuesday, July 14, Sterling Daniel moved to approve the change, and Ola Hawkins seconded the motion. Kelly Evko and Robert Hundley joined Daniel and Hawkins in approving the changes. George Sutton, John Axselle and Norman Sulser voted not to change the names. Superintendent Michael Gill said a process that involves forming a committee and seeking public input will begin immediately, and a recommendation will be presented to the school board for the renaming. A timetable for that process was not immediately available. The superintendent said he will instruct principals at the two schools to begin gathering student input for new mascots, a decision left to the student body. Latest efforts to change the long controversial names began in 2018 when school board members considered a petition seeking the changes, but voted 5-2 to maintain the status quo. Marla Coleman was a member of the board at that time and voted in favor of a name change. Upon learning of the board’s recent decision, Coleman said, “I am delighted to offer my congratulations to the school board members on the successful vote to change the Confederate names
of two of our schools. It is reassuring to know that the members have found a way to meet tonight’s challenge. Compromise brings with it a move forward that has been lacking for nearly seven generations.” DANIEL Hanover NAACP president Robert Barnette said the vote is a positive begin- And the vote was ning in an ongoing conversation regarding . . . 4-3, with the top four Hanover equity.

The decision came after a month of mounting pressure on the school board to make the changes. The Virginia PTA, Governor Ralph Northam and even Chelsea Clinton had issued letters in

Animal Control chief: Don’t leave a pet in your hot vehicle HANOVER -- In the brutal heat of the summer, Hanover County Animal Control reminds all citizens that leaving your pet in your vehicle for even a few minutes on sunny days – even if the windows are not rolled up – can be critical to them. “A pet can die in only a few minutes if left in a car even with the windows rolled down,” Jeffrey S. Parker, chief of Hanover County Animal Control, warned. “Bring them inside or leave them at home, but don’t leave them in a car. Even when it’s only 80 degrees outside and sunny, the inside of a car gets hot very quickly and your pet will become overheated.” On a warm, sunny day, the temperature in a parked car can reach a temperature of 120º in minutes, even with the car window partially open. “A pet can quickly suffer brain damage or die from a heatstroke when trapped in these high temperatures,” Parker said. Parking in the shade offers little protection, as the sun shifts during the day. If your pet is exposed to high temperatures: z Be alert for signs of heat stress — heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomiting or a deep red or purple tongue. z If your pet becomes overheated, you must lower its body temperature immediately. Move your pet into the shade and apply cool (not cold) water all over its body to gradually lower its temperature. Apply ice packs or cool towels to your pet’s head, neck and chest only. Let your pet drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes. z Finally, take your pet directly to a veterinarian—it could save its life. If you see an animal in a car exhibiting any signs of heat stress, call 911 immedi-
ately. Hanover County Animal Control will be patrolling certain areas including parking lots looking for pets and other living things that may be in heat distress because of being left in vehicles. If your animal dies as a result of being left in a vehicle, you could be charged with cruelty to animals, which is a felony and if convicted could lead to jail time and/or a fine. Here are some additional tips for taking care of your pet in hot weather: z Don’t force your pet to exercise after a meal in hot, humid weather. Exercise it in the early morning or evening, and keep walks to a minimum. z Never leave your dog standing on hot asphalt. Its body can heat up quickly and sensitive paw pads can burn. z Do not take an animal to the beach unless you can provide a shaded spot and plenMetro Creative Services ty of fresh water. Rinse it off after it has been in salt water. z Owners shall provide shade and a well-constructed doghouse that does not conduct heat for animals staying outside. Bring your dog inside during the hottest part of the day, and make sure it has plenty of cool water. Keep cats indoors. z Be extra sensitive to old and overweight animals in hot weather. Snub-nosed dogs such as bulldogs, pugs, Boston terriers, Lhasa Apso and Shih Tzu, as well as those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept in air-conditioned rooms as much as possible.

From the managing editor
HCSB splits vote; school names changing By Melody Kinser Managing Editor here do I begin? It’s almost 10 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14, and I’ve been monitoring our Facebook page following the news about the Hanover County School Board voting 4-3 to change the names of Lee-Davis High School and Stonewall Jackson Middle School. While I had heard the rumor earlier in the day that the vote would go in that direction, I didn’t know what to expect as I waited to hear from Jim Ridolphi, who handles our school board coverage. Sure enough, Sterling Daniel, Ola Hawkins,
W
Kelly Evko and Bob Hundley voted to change the names. Opposing the change were George Sutton, John Axselle and Norman Sulser. I keep checking on the Facebook posts -because, unfortunately, some people are too looselipped with the profanity. Remember, folks, it’s a family newspaper, and our social media adheres to those guidelines too. Anyway, to my surprise, those who support the changes are vocal on this memorable night. And there are those already making threats about the next election and removing supervisors who appoint school board members. I would think the supervisors would have had conversations with their appointees, but that
doesn’t mean any influence was involved. So, what now? Once names are selected, the student body at each school will be able to determine the mascots. In all honesty, I don’t have a clue as to what names are being considered -- if they are at this point. Maybe Mechanicsville High School and Mechanicsville Middle School are options. Some of the comments I’ve read are shocking in terms of the extreme nastiness about this issue. I often wonder if the crude words typed would actually cross the lips of those posting. Now, we move forward. The vote has been taken and the wheels are in motion for the changes. Acceptance is the word of the day.
When to return to school may become heated debate five-day-a-week school is like playing Russian Roulette with the well-being of our most prized responsibilities, our children. Unfortunately, the political implications of either of these positions makes the conversation more difficult, and places parents in the position of questioning the motives of experts.

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I have a suspicion the conversation regarding how and when to open schools across America will inevitably become more heated and create more division in a country that seems polarized on almost everything.

as the campuses themselves, it seems many are opting for virtually-based learning when classes begin this fall. While I acknowledge few benefits from the current uncertainty or K-12 education and the dilemma it presents for parents with kids in those schools, I view the changing and flexibility of colleges and universities more encouraging and perhaps a sign of significant change in the way our children attend post-secondary classes. There’s no doubt in my mind that the current system of higher educa-
tion is not sustainable. With rising tuitions that routinely exceed cost of living markers and a rate of applicants accepted steadily declining, the future of equal access to a college education seemed dismal. With school systems and colleges across the nation forced into alternative programs that depend on virtual instruction, the process became a learning experience not only for students, but for administrators. see RETURN, pg. 8

No evidence to support claim of segregation This is in response to your "No sarcasm" column of July 1, 2020, in which you requested feedback on the names of Stonewall Jackson Middle School and Lee-Davis High School. Over and over again, I've read that the names of both schools were chosen to reinforce segregation, yet I've never seen any evidence to support that assertion. I think it is much more probable that the names were chosen because Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson fought in the area -- the battlefields of Beaver Dam Creek, Gaines Mill, and Cold Harbor are only a few miles away -- and because Jefferson Davis visited there during the fighting. Jackson marched his army down what is now Lee-Davis Road in 1862 on his way to fight at Beaver Dam Creek and Gaines Mill. Lee and Jackson both camped nearby. In the same way, Battlefield Park Elementary School is so named because it is on a battlefield. To my knowledge, no one has actually published anything on what the school board -- or whatever entity named the schools when they were constructed -said about their reasons for choosing the names. Without that, I think it is probable that the names hearken back to a major event in county history, and that no one was trying to send a message about the importance of segregation.

And, certainly, some conclusions are not promising. Recent incidents and reports verify a long-held belief that online learning does not replace the in-class experience. Make no mistake, it doesn’t. But officials also learned that some classes can be effectively administered online, the ones with teacher involvement garnering the best results. Not surprisingly, recent reports confirm that 25 percent of students did not even log in for the final weeks of class. Having sat in class on one of those final days of school, I suspect an equal number of my in-classmates also had checked

(Editor’s note: The following was addressed to Rick Marksbury, Ph.D, whose letter appeared in the July 8, 2020, edition of The Local.) I agree with you that many throughout history admired Lee's character. But consider his relationship with slavery
out mentally for the year. So, how does this limited experiment in virtual learning at the college level reflect positively on the future of higher learning in America? Well, considering the possibilities of more spaces created at colleges across the country by offering basic classes online or a similar hybrid model, it could open the opportunity of college for many more Americans. And I don’t know many parents facing college decisions for their children who don’t agree that annually increasing tuitions and fees limit possibilities, and maybe perpetuate a system that has long resisted any suggestion of reform. One thing is for sure: The COVID-19 crisis will drastically affect higher learning
in America, and has allowed Americans to question every aspect of the system. As more and more campuses announce plans to offer virtual-only classes in the fall, more and more applicants are questioning the need for exorbitant tuitions and fees, enrollment models will change. I’m not sure how any of this plays out long-term, and I’m certainly no expert on education. But, like millions of other parents, I’m facing a situation that presents more questions than answers when it comes to schools reopening. I also acknowledge that some of the lessons learned during this pandemic could offer additional options for how the classroom of the
future will actually look. Like many aspects of our lives, this crisis will result in new normals in all areas of our daily routines. For education, it’s an opportunity to expand and explore alternative learning models. None of that discounts the importance of in-person learning in the classroom or the value of dedicated teachers who commit endless hours educating our children. Remote learning can never replace the one-on-one interaction between student and teacher, or replace those classroom memories we hold so close to our hearts. Perhaps, a blend of remote and in-class instruction is a good place to begin -- where it all ends is anybody’s guess.

was something trivial to privileged white society up until recently. Those people never gave it a second thought when considering his character. They only considered his leadership as a general and statesman of which he was outstanding. As for his status as a Christian, like many today, it was in name only. I know that a real Christian does not keep people as possessions and fight a bloody war for the right to do so. As for the relevant history, you point out the platitudes
and ignore the relevance of the dark side you'd rather not hear about. You ask what I know that those leaders you quote did not . . . nothing. What I do know is the part related to slavery and oppression was not in their thoughts when admiring Lee. It was trivial up till recent times. And I do have personal feelings, because I'm not ignoring some relevant history, even if it isn't relevant to you and some others. Slavery was evil and is part of his legacy even if
some choose to dismiss it. Robert E. Lee did have some great qualities and can be admired for those qualities, but for too long history has dismissed his and others for their involvement in slavery. We don't need statues to glorify these people. If we are interested we have access to that history 24/7. It's called the internet. If we like to see it up close and personal we are surrounded by Civil War historical sites . . . most of which I have visited. see LETTERS, pg. 13

adjournment and no action being taken. Last week’s virtual meeting attracted more than 1,800 interested viewers and School Board Clerk Kate Brown read a number of electronic submissions during a public comment period. Of the 33 email generated responses, the majority endorsed the name changes, but Brown said 21 voicemail entries expressed opposition to the renaming. “In 1959, Lee-Davis High School was built to honor a Confederate general who fought to keep human beings
in slavery,” said former school board member Vonita Foster. “I ask you not to hold on to your pervasive myths, but do your due diligence and understand the impact your decision will have on all Hanoverians, as well as your county’s vision for a progressive, enlightened place for all children to live.” Jerry McCormick pointed out in his email that the removal of Confederate imagery and statutes had failed to quell violent protests, and referenced a survey conducted in 2018 where a majority of Hanoverians expressed a desire to keep the names. “What lessons are we truly teaching our children if the
vote of our community ultimately has no value?” he asked. But most of the submitted comments expressed a desire

Berringer wrote in an email read during the one-hour public comment period. She questioned why
mascots from Lee-Davis and Stonewall Jackson, Confederates and Rebels respectively, were not accessible on the school’s website or handbooks. “It’s because it’s racist and it’s offensive. If it wasn’t, it would not be hidden,” she wrote. Chickahominy District school board representative Bob Hundley explained why he would vote to change the names as the panel began discussion before the vote. Hundley explained that previous school boards had determined that naming schools after people could present problems. “I tend to believe that was because we had issues with some of the names on our buildings,” he said. Hundley also took issue with the position of many who contacted board members with concerns regarding the cost of changing the names, a figure some estimates have placed as high as $1 million. While that cost is significant, Hundley said it should be weighed against the possible expense of future litigation that could potentially cost much more. He also said the position that the names will be changed once new schools are built also is unrealistic in that a time frame has not been established for that process. Three elementary schools are slated for renovation or replacement before a new high/middle
school complex can even be considered. Realistically, he said it takes four to five years to open a new school once the land is acquired. “This idea that we could have a new secondary site in two years is just pie in the sky,” Hundley said. Hundley acknowledged that, like the community, he too has grappled with this issue, and his views have evolved. “We owe it to all of our students to create a clean, welcoming and nurturing environment, and I believe the time is now to do this,” he said. Mechanicsville District representative Sterling Daniel, who has deep Hanover and Virginia roots, traces his heritage back to the state’s early beginnings 300 years ago. He noted relatives that served both in the Continental Army, as well as descendants who served under J.E.B. Stuart in the Civil War. Some even owned slaves. “I cannot provide a reason or rationale for their actions so long ago, but only gratitude that it is just that — history.” Born and raised in Mechanicsville, Daniel said he does not discount his deep local connections or apologize for his heritage. “My Hanoverian blood runs as red as the tomatoes that grow here,” Daniel said. While Daniel said it isn’t fair to judge the lives of the three Confederate leaders solely by their contributions during the war, he acknowledged the growing chorus for change he has heard in the past several months. He also recognized the motivation prompting the school name selections. As the new Lee-Davis High School was nearing completion, students at Battlefield Park High School were asked to vote on a new name. They chose Robert E. Lee, but also asked his name be partnered with that of a Hanover teacher who died
during World War II, William White. “It was the school board that decided to link Lee to Jefferson Davis, that choice along with the selection of the mascot, left little doubt as to which part of Lee’s legacy was being honored,” Daniel said. He also noted the demand to change the names is not a “Johnny-Come- Lately” cause. “The names have been challenged at various times since the schools were named more than 50 years ago,” Daniel said. “I must consider the long fight to keep the names rather than using our time, energy and resources to begin healing the divisiveness now. And it has been divisive . . . for families, siblings, neighbors, friends and alumni . . . and for the school board itself.” “As a member of the school board, I believe our charge is to provide a safe and supportive environment for all students, so I cannot in good conscience lend my support to maintaining the names,” Daniel said. Following the board’s vote to rename the schools, Superintendent Michael Gill said a detailed plan for the process would be presented to board members at their August meeting. Naming of Hanover schools is the sole responsibility of the school board. Gill said the division remains committed to providing an inclusive “non-racist” environment for all students, and, in a letter issued to parents last week, pledged to initiate the name changes as soon as possible. Two days after the board’s decision, workers arrived and removed monument-style signs from both campuses, and references to the Confederate leaders were removed from the exterior of buildings. Gill said school board members would appoint a committee to consider new names at their next meeting, and one name will be recommended for board approval.

have teachers, students and staff return until we have seen a large decrease, if not eradication of new cases of COVID19.” Others expressed a desire for students to return to school full-time in September. “COVID-19 is a deadly disease, but not for the young and healthy,” David Willard said. “Our children are not in danger. They need to get back to normal and back to school,” he added in an email submitted for public comment on the issue voicing his support for a full back to classroom opening.

History isn't going away when we take down statues and change names. It's just going where it belongs -- in the history books and at historical sites. John Fish Mechanicsville
Responding to letters about school names Here are a couple brief responses from recent letters to the editor regarding school names: Kim Daniels seems intent on dredging up an article from 1956, which she says proves intent to keep schools segregated. Considering, sadly, it was the current law of the day, and you have your own Democratic Party to thank for that. It took Republicans to pass all meaningful legislation into the 1960s for any kind of racial equality. Historical side note: Robert E. Lee was not a slave owner and considered it mor-
to opt for a completely virtual opening this fall. “I feel it is absolutely imperative that Hanover schools . . . operate remotely this fall,” she wrote. “The COVID virus has not gone away. We are still very much in the first wave, and, while the numbers in Hanover are low, they are rising. If schools reopen in August, the numbers will explode.” Gill said a return to fulltime in class school is the goal, but not at the expense of safety for staff and students. “We are incredibly eager to see our students and staff return to our buildings, but it has to be done in a safe and responsible manner,” Gill said. A task force was formed more than a month ago to devise and develop a return to
learn plan. Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Greif said the plan was developed according to state guidelines regarding COVID. The state is currently operating in Phase III, the least restrictive model. Even in the Phase III mode, there will be changes. “Our schools will not look like they did last September,” Greif told board members. Questionnaires were distributed to stakeholders, providing valuable information as the plan developed. More than 11,000 people responded to the survey. The results revealed that more than 75 percent of Hanover parents preferred a full in class start in the fall,
ally repugnant. Christine Eubanks tells us she has lived all over the country, thus giving her special insight into race relations. She also enlightens us that Hanover County Public Schools’ names were chosen specifically to deter black people from attending . . . so she’s also a very old expert in city planning. As part of her civic duty, she even states she specifically searched for homes outside the Lee-Davis School District because of the name. You chose Rutland. I guess that makes you a hypocritical, pandering fabricator of the truth who envisions themselves a city planner with a side gig in race relations. I would like to know how that conversation went with your realtor though. Harold Ackerman: I made an honest attempt to read your 5th grade book report on Donald Trump. My conclusion: I want those 30 seconds of my life back. So, when you’re done yelling at kids to get off your lawn, go out back and feed the chickens. The Gold Star though goes to our Hanover County School Board members voting
for name changes. If you were elected because you ran on a conservative platform, you are a coward. And now you’ve proven you will pander to a mostly false narrative. You’ve now shown you can be manipulated fairly easily. You’ve now admitted a name is all the reason to rewrite history. You have now set a precedent in Hanover County which states: This board can be convinced to change street names, business names, farm names, statue names or any name deemed by anybody to be offensive. Are you now prepared to ban certain chapters in history books? Hanover County, Virginia, history? Where does it stop? I doubt many of you actually understand the factual history of slavery in this country. This willful ignorance saddles you with no identity or conviction. My fear is you’ve set this county up for future failure by capitulating to a mostly false narrative. Get ready, there are many more coming. John St. George Mechanicsville

Deadheading plants: horticultural practice has its benefits By Laura Maxey-Nay Special to The Local Deadheading: Is it legal? The answer is yes! Not only is deadheading legal — it is a horticulture practice that benefits both annual and perennial plants. Deadheading, or the act of pinching or cutting back spent flowers, accomplishes three goals. First, it prolongs blooming period and promotes a second and sometimes even a third round of flowers. Another benefit is seed production prevention. Annuals have goals, and because they bud, bloom, and die in one season, they must produce seeds to replace themselves in the coming year. Removing dead blooms will keep plant energy focused on roots and flowers instead of seeds. Another bonus of deadheading is visual — plants which do not produce a second flowering begin to look unkempt and down-
right ratty if the old blooms and some of their stems are not removed. Perennials also benefit from a good shear of old spent blooms. Like annuals, many perennials such as catmint, coneflower, Shasta daisy, salvia, and tickseed and threadleaf coreopsis will reflower if they are snipped back to side buds, shoots, or branches when flowers fade. With threadleaf coreopsis, use hedge shears to cut the top third off the plant. However, some perennials will not rebloom if deadheaded. A few of these are astilbe, baptisia, bear’s breech, dianthus, hellebore, iris, lily, peony, and tall sedum. When this group has finished blooming in the fall, leave the flowering stalks intact if they have seed heads, berries, or seedpods, as the birds love them. It’s your choice to cut the entire stalk down to the base or leave the silhouette to admire all winter.
Daylilies are encouraged to rebloom when the spent bloom is removed and if flower stalks are cut down to the ground after all blooms wither (not the strappy foliage, though). In fact, the category of daylily rebloomers is growing with heightened interest in hybridizing new cultivars. A suggestion related to winter arrangements: Some of the skeletons of plants that aren’t deadheaded that still retain seed heads, seedpods, and berries are striking in seasonal bouquets. Coneflower, especially, comes to mind, as well as the stalks of grasses. And finally, try to remember that deadheading as a practice is not a death sentence. Instead, it paves the way for more beautiful blossoms and a tidier appearance to the garden that you’ve worked so hard to cultivate.

C&F Financial breaks ground on new financial center in Sandston Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

OANO -- C&F Financial Corporation has broken ground on its new C&F Financial Center on International Trade Drive in Sandston. This complex will house space for C&F Finance Company as well as serve as a working and meeting location for other subsidiaries. The 25,000-square-foot facility is set to open in spring 2021. “We are excited to be able to expand our company and provide additional office space for our staff at C&F Finance Company” said Tom Cherry, president and CEO of C&F Financial Corporation. “In addition, this building will

and that majority was even larger when options included a hybrid model, where students attend in class school some days, and learn online the remainder of time. “We believe having choices for our families is very important,” Greif said. Providing those options requires consideration of instructional concerns, space limitations, transportation issues and the emotional well-being and health and safety of students. The plan approved by board members last week offers parents a choice of attending school five days a week face-to-face, or a fully virtual learning model. Greif said those virtual models will closely resemble the on-site curriculum and the remote learning will be monitored by teachers with daily interaction with students either by phone or via the internet. The current plan is

also serve as a great location when staff needs to meet with customers from the nearby area.”
The main office for C&F Finance Company is currently at 1313 E. Main St. in Richmond and houses nearly
100 employees. C&F Finance Company is a leader in indirect lending, providing automobile,
designed to address instruction during a Phase III reopening, but also is equipped with built-in flexibility. “We are ready to be responsive to the choices that the governor makes,” Greif said. “We’re in Phase III right now. If our data changes, or we feel more vulnerable in our community and our state, we might revert back to Phase II or Phase I. We are going to be posited to do that and we are going to be agile to be able to continue providing new instruction for our students.” In the coming weeks, parents will decide if their students will attend full-time faceto-face instruction or a full virtual instruction program. Those choices are binding for the semester and students cannot transition back and forth from in-class to virtual learning, but students could choose online learning in the fall and return to in-class training in the spring. Classrooms will be arranged to allow social distancing, and
students will be seated one to each seat on buses to and from school. Face coverings will be required both on buses and on school grounds. Students will pick up meals and return to class to eat; water fountains will be disabled; and parents are encouraged to transport students to and from school. No field trips will be allowed and bus times will be staggered. No visitors will be allowed for on-campus visits, and hand sanitizing stations will be available in classrooms and other common areas. Greif said consistency in the online and in-class programs was a key goal in the planning process and remediation and new instruction are included in the return. Unlike assessments in the spring, students will receive grades in both models and progress will be monitored. In order to ensure a minimum of amount of student mixing, teams of teachers will
transition to classrooms and employ team teaching methods. If the state returns to either a Phase I or Phase II scenario, Greif said all learning will be remote. All Hanover students from third grade up are scheduled to receive devices during the upcoming school year. Supply challenges and shortages could delay delivery of all of those devices, but officials expect the bulk of those laptops will arrive by the start of school on Sept. 8. Online students will receive those devices first. Assistant Superintendent Terry Stone said fiscal impacts of the revised instruction plan will be monitored and monthly updates will be provided to the board. In other matters, current chair John Axselle and vice chair Ola Hawkins were both re-elected to their leadership roles for the upcoming year in the board’s annual reorganization process.
marine and RV loans in multiple states throughout the U.S. from its headquarters in Richmond. After purchasing retail installment sales contracts from approved dealers, C&F Finance provides comprehensive service to the customers of those loans for the life of their contracts. “It’s an exciting time here at C&F Finance Company. We have had steady growth over the years and have ventured into other product lines from just automobiles. While this pandemic has certainly affected us, we have continued
to service all of our dealer partners and are still offering programs to help them sell vehicles. Our employee base remains fully intact and we are excited about moving into our new headquarters.” said Dusty Crone, president of C&F Finance Company. C&F Finance Company has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Citizens and Farmers Bank since 2002 when the bank acquired Richmond-based Moore Loans, founded in 1952. The company serves dealers and customers in Virginia and 19 additional states.

Barnard continues record-setting paces By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The Federal Club’s Amanda Barnard has apparently been happy to get back in the water. It certainly seems so with the torrid pace she’s been keeping up the first half of the abbreviated Greater Richmond Aquatic League season. Two weeks ago, in the first week of competition, Barnard broke three GRAL regularseason records: in the 13-14 girls 100-yard freestyle, the 100 breaststroke and the 50 butterfly. Last week, in a meet against cross-county competitor Pebble Green, she broke two more: in the 100 individual medley and 100 butterfly. Her time two weeks ago in the 100 freestyle of 53.72 bested the previous record of 54.71 set by Atlee Recreation Association’s Katie Schroeder on June 14, 2006. Barnard broke the 100 breaststroke record of 1:09.14 set by Fox Hall’s Rebecca Rainer on July 11, 2007, by more than a minute with a time of 1:08.25. Her 50 butterfly time of 26.78 bested that of 27.44 set on July 12, 2017, by Tuckahoe Village-West’s Zoe Dixon. In last week’s performances, Barnard knocked down a 9-year-old record in the 100 individual medley. The previous mark of 1:02.86 was set by

The Virginia High School League delayed a decision on fall sports until July 27 but offered three plans for consideration, none of which involve playing football this fall. In discussion among executive committee members, one plan stood out as a favorite of that group. That plan moves fall sports to the spring and attempts to play all three seasons in a condensed time frame. The approach buys more time and provides more flexibility with so much uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. “We may be much better off come January than we are now,” VHSL execu-

where until after the summer of 2021. We may put this off and have this condensed schedule, and even in the spring we may not be able to play the Level 3 athletics. But it does give us the possibility it could change and
be for the better.” The three models that were proposed were: 1. Leave all sports in their current seasons. Sports considered low- and moderate-risk, such as golf and cross country,
would be allowed to play. Highrisk sports such as football, field hockey, volleyball and cheering would not be played. 2. Switch the fall and spring seasons. Low- and moderaterisk sports allowed to play in the

fall would be baseball, softball, soccer, tennis, and track and field. Boys and girls lacrosse, considered high risk, would not be played. see FOOTBALL, pg. 23
FOOTBALL Continued from pg. 22
3. Start play in mid-December with winter sports, followed by fall sports and spring sports, all in compressed seasons. Winter sports (basketball, gymnastics, indoor track, swimming and diving, and wrestling) would start on Dec. 14 (first contest Dec. 28) and run until Feb. 20. Fall sports (football, competition cheering, cross country, field hockey, golf and volleyball) would run from Feb. 15 (first contest March 1) to May 1. Spring sports (baseball, softball, boys and girls lacrosse, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls tennis, and track and field) would run from April 12 (first contest April 26) to June 26. Haun said compressing the seasons in the third model means teams probably would play “about 60% of the games they normally would play.” State playoffs could be reduced or eliminated. Until a decision is made, offseason practices can continue as currently structured. “I can’t say I’m surprised,” Hopewell football coach Ricky Irby said. “With all the uncertainty that’s going on, I think everybody kind of at least had an inkling that something like this was definitely a strong possibility.” Irby, whose team won the Class 3 state championship last year and has won two of the past three, has been holding light offseason workouts twice a week. What the Blue Devils do from here, he said, is unknown. “It’s just an unprecedented time,” he said. “There’s just so much uncertainty you just kind of don’t know what to do right now. The main thing we want to do is make sure our players are safe. When it’s safe and everybody feels like they can get back out on the field. … These kids need football. My heart breaks for our kids.” During a June meeting, the
league also postponed a decision, saying more time might help with many unknowns: COVID-19 data, social-distancing guidelines, how schools will open and other issues. The following month didn’t provide much clarity. Coronaviruses cases in Virginia are increasing slightly, mostly in the eastern part of the state; physical distancing and limits on crowds remain in place for indoor and outdoor sports; and some school districts haven’t announced plans for how they’re going to conduct learning. The Richmond School Board decided Tuesday to have fully virtual learning in the fall instead of in-person instruction. The first two models have obvious drawbacks. The first allows only competition in golf and cross country. Football would not be played, which seems a nonstarter since it is a major driver for funding athletic departments. In the second model, boys and girls lacrosse would not compete. If there’s a resurgence of the virus and sports are shut down, “those seasons would be … ended at that point,” Haun said, meaning all spring sports could lose their seasons for the second year in a row. Haun said getting schools open “would be a big positive before we start trying to mix in scholastic activities.” Unresolved questions, he said, are how schools will handle sports if they don’t have students in school; practice and transportation issues; and what happens if there’s a COVID-19 outbreak within a school or a team. P.J. Adams, the football coach at Thomas Jefferson, which will conduct classes online for the fall semester, said he could envision a system in which students are at home for their education and travel to school for sports. Most kids can either get a ride or drive themselves to school.
Home-schooled teams operate with students learning from home while playing sports, he added. Thomas Dale football coach Kevin Tucker, who is on a football coaches committee, said recently that coaches were in unison wanting to preserve as many regular-season games as possible so their athletes have full or nearly full seasons, everyone can get the same amount of exposure to college recruiters, and schools can help fund their athletic budgets. If playoffs have to be cut back or cut out, “so be it,” he said. Haun said one possibility is using a “bowl week” instead of playoffs. Using a point system, the top two teams in a region would be paired, the next two would be paired, and so on, in bowl games. “That would maximize the number of games we could play in a season,” Haun said. “It would also give sort of a playoff-type atmosphere, sort of a culminating event to end the season with. And everybody would be involved because if you do playoffs, people get eliminated and aren’t going to get to maximize their full season. With this model, everybody would be in and you’d be matched against somebody who’s playing at the same level.” “We have to remember nothing is going to be normal,” Haun said. “At some point, we have to be grateful to have the opportunity to do anything, to play anything. “There’s going to have to be some concessions made. The schedules may not be how we want them, who we’re going to play, how we’re going to play. But if we can get our kids on the field and participate and have the opportunity for physical and mental health to help them out and be social, provide those opportunities, I think we have to look at that and grasp that and take what we can get and make the best of what we’ve
got.” Adams, the Thomas Jefferson coach, said he wants to get back to playing football as much as anybody. But he also thinks about his mother, who has been in and out of the hospital lately. He doesn’t want to go coach his football team if it means he might transmit the virus to his mom. “At the end of the day,” he said, “it’s all about safety.” While Model 3 received the most attention during Wednesday’s executive com-
mittee meeting, Model 2 received some support as well. Joe Fowler, the athletics director at Goochland, suggests going with Model 2 now while using Model 3 as a fallback. Under Model 2, spring sports except for lacrosse would be played this fall. Spring sports were canceled this year, and playing them in the fall would give them an entire season, as opposed to the truncated season proposed in Model 3. If coronavirus conditions worsen, the spring season could be post-
poned until 2021 and played under Model 3. Using Model 2, Fowler said, allows many of the lowest-risk sports to be played now while the opportunity is here. The Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association, which governs most of the private schools in the state, has not announced plans for fall sports.
