Officials outline, refine face-to-face return to school By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- When classrooms in Hanover County Public Schools open for faceto-face instruction on Sept. 8, more than 6,000 students won’t be there. That represents the number of parents who opted for
a virtual-only instruction for at least the first semester of next year’s session. Latest figures indicate about 63% of HCPS students have selected face-to-face instruction for the upcoming semester. About 9% of the county’s teaching staff has opted for virtual-only instruction for the first semester, but an addi-

tional 128 teachers said they might be willing to participate in remote instruction. Jennifer Greif, assistant superintendent for Instructional Leadership, updated Hanover County School Board members on the return to learn plan at last week’s meeting, but acknowledged administrators continue to work through a number of issues regarding the opening. Less than four weeks prior to the scheduled opening of county schools, Greif said the system is experiencing a slightly higher number of vacancies than in past years. “We are definitely seeing more requests than usual for a leave of absence for the upcoming school year, but right now we are holding steady with about 30 vacancies

focused on the need for a fully virtual opening for most students, and pointed out several perceived flaws in the county’s evolving plan. Some speakers questioned a procedure that allows teachers to opt for virtual assignments, but does not guarantee a return to their routine classrooms once they choose faceto-face instruction. There also was a question regarding temperature checks and Hanover’s decision not to utilize them. Assistant superintendent Mandy Baker said checking each student would impact instruction time, and said checks are only one means of detection. School officials are tasking parents to check students each day before school for any symptoms. Other speakers opposed the plan that includes the creation of a new virtual-only school, and the effect that could produce in communities that have
established long-term and lasting relationships within their home school. Those commenters said virtual instruction that mirrors the classroom would allow students to maintain those relationships. Greif said officials have considered that and other communication, and agreed that a student’s connection with their home school, even in a virtual setting, is important. “We’ve been working on this and we’ve developed some strategies to keep that connection,” she said. “Some of the different ideas that we are implementing is a different type of counseling model and this will keep our students connected with their home school counselor. We know this is very important,” she added. She said virtual students will be encouraged to participate in extracurricular

In order to ensure social distancing on school buses, double-back or additional routes will be necessary to accommodate students who request transportation. Greif said parents have responded well to the system’s request for them to provide transportation when possible. Bus routes will be announced in late August, slightly later than usual due to the unique nature of the transportation challenges.

County Public Schools website. The committee, made up of 30 administrators, teachers, community members and students, is expected to return to the Sept. 8 meeting with a recommendation for new names for both schools. That selection will be narrowed down with a series of meetings in August, and the board is scheduled to vote on the new names at its September meeting. In a related matter, the board voted 6-1 to remove all recently installed signage at both campuses no later than Sept. 7, the day before school starts. George Sutton, Henry District, made the motion, and John Axselle, Beaverdam District, provided the only opposition vote to the action. The vote reaffirms the board’s intention to have the names retired by the start of the new school year. Local NAACP president

also are encouraged to remain active in their home school PTOs, and continue other connections with the campus. Greif said the plan is poised to react to reclassifications from Governor Northam, and, while the system is opening under Phase III recommendations, it’s also designed to transition when the need arises. “If we have to go out for Phase II or, quite frankly, if we have to do a quarantine, there will still be that continuity of learning that is so important, and that learning would be directed by the teacher who knows the student best and not as a pre-packaged option from the division, which is where
our emergency plan landed last spring.” With a changing set of conditions and circumstances, it’s anybody’s guess what other alterations might be necessary to facilitate a successful return to the classroom, and superintendent Michael Gill said that moving target requires flexible responses. He also acknowledged the difficulty parents encounter when considering best options for their students. “This is a situation, this pandemic and our response on a return to learn, has created some very deep and passionate feelings,” Gill said. “Not only are we talking about the public health concern but we’re also talking about those that are most pre-
cious to us — our students.” Board members voiced unanimous support of the return to learn plan following Greif ’s presentation, an outline they had previously approved at last month’s meeting. “I think this is a good plan and I’m confident it will be a successful operation,” board chair John Axselle, Beaverdam District, said. Students begin school in Hanover County on Sept. 8. The school board plans to conduct its first in person meeting in months that evening beginning at 7 p.m. at an as yet undisclosed location. Officials are attempting to obtain a larger space to allow social distancing during the meeting.
Robert Barnette said the vote is a step in the right direction after what he said were mixed signals from school officials. “The Hanover County NAACP applauds tonight’s 6-1 decision of the school board committing to removing the signs for Lee-Davis High School and Stonewall Jackson Middle School before the start of the 2020 school year,” Barnette said. “The Hanover County NAACP was, frankly, baffled, by the school board’s earlier direction to school staff to re-install the signs for Confederate names it had recently voted to change.” Barnette said he hopes the latest board position is final, and restated his longstanding objections to the names. “As the community and school board members remarked, the names are a shameful legacy that are harmful to Black students and families,” he said. “With tonight’s vote, the school board demonstrated its commitment to
the July vote to change the names and we hope and expect that the commitment will be unwavering going forward.” Finance Director Amanda Six provided an update on potential costs associated with the name change, but said that assessment will continue and be updated before the next meeting. A future presentation will contain an outline of how the system plans to fund the changes, a schedule of facility modifications, a timetable regarding delivery of sports uniforms and other equipment and a better idea of when and where a future auction of surplus property would be held. When officials made estimates during the board’s 2018 consideration of a name change, the cost of the changes was about $500,000. “We feel like we have a good anticipated list of what we need and we’re going to continue to fine-tune that before we come back at the next meeting,” Six
said. That list includes items like gym floor resurfacing, painting of limited areas, uniforms, marquee and interior/ exterior signs and materials and supplies. “We are working through those items,” Six said. “We walked through the schools and met with the athletic staff and principals and tried to identify what we thought we needed to change,” she said, adding that more details will be provided as the process continues. Six said mementoes and other property from the two schools is being stored at each campus, and estimates are being sought for removal of decals on gymnasium floors. Surplus property can be sold by localities at a public sale or online auction, and HCPS employees cannot purchase surplus property. School officials will confer with county officials to devise the most efficient way to sell the surplus property.

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor hen I accepted the job here over 12 years ago, I knew I would be making my home in Hanover County. All I really knew about the county was that Patrick Henry hailed from here. Keep in mind I had spent three years in Winchester at The Winchester Star. I didn’t know anything about that part of the state when I arrived there either. To my surprise, I was strongly urged not to settle in Mechanicsville. “Bubbaville” was a term tossed around a lot to describe the community. I dismissed the stereotype being used for an area I

had yet to explore and experience. I have always lived near my workplace, so the same would hold true for this journey. I was fortunate enough to find a nice apartment near the office, which proved invaluable as I learned about the county. From the beginning, I was welcomed. People I have never met feel comfortable enough from reading these pages to call me by my first name. I like that. I feel safe here. I have good neighbors. There are so many conveniences nearby. While I intend to make my home here as long as possible, I want us all to take a moment to think about the positives.
I am saddened by the animosity that appears in letters to the editor and on our social media sites. I never knew the names of schools could cause so much disruption. I only hope this can be resolved soon, with all parties -- if that’s even realistic to consider -- being satisfied. With no children or grandchildren in the school system, I’ve kind of had a “I don’t have a dog in that fight” attitude. But I do -- this is my home too. I pray for a peaceful -- and hopefully agreeable -- solution. This is all about the future -- and that means the children that attend these schools. Regardless of color, religion, etc., we’re all Hanoverians. Isn’t that what matters most?!
Melvin and Howard: Santa’s Souped Up Sleigh By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist As I watched another rerun of a previously played college football game, a familiar tune filtered its way through the crowd noise and grabbed my attention. The rebroadcast was a holidaythemed bowl game, and that provided my first hint as to what the song could be. It was a catchy tune, but not one that evoked immediate familiarity ... but I knew I’d heard that song somewhere before.
“It’s Melvin Dummar. It’s Melvin Dummar,” I shouted in the direction of my children. They replied with a look to which I’ve grown accustomed, that glare of puzzlement that clearly delineates a line between generations — and basically means, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” The band was playing “Santa’s Souped Up Sleigh”, a holiday tune that never gained the same attention as let’s say “White Christmas”, but still evokes memories for a few of us who still remember the story of its author,

Melvin Dummar. It’s a story that was almost too fantastic to be real, and, in the end, several courts at various levels ruled that it wasn’t. Even with the lack of verification, the story was too good for Hollywood to pass on, and, in 1980, the movie Melvin and Howard was released. It’s based on the accounts of an everyday run of the mill working man named Melvin Dummar, whose life up to an eventful night in the Nevada desert in 1967, was less than Academy
Award material. He worked every job imaginable from gas station attendant to milkman, suffered through one unfaithful marriage, and seemed like the guy who always gets the shaft. He buried his sorrow in song, and viewed himself as somewhat of an entertainer, and in the movie displayed those talents at a Dairy Christmas Party by singing Santa’s Souped Up Sleigh.

HCSB’s action makes resident proud of county This past year has been a time of many drastic changes to our lives. Although change is inevitable, and often beneficial, it also can be stressful and throw us off balance. I am reassured by the way I have seen people around me adjust to these changes and show generosity and empathy for others in our community. On the subject of change, I am extremely proud of the Hanover County School Board for making the decision to do the right thing and change the Confederate names of Lee-Davis and Stonewall Jackson to something less divisive and more inclusive of our whole community. I am sure it was a difficult decision, given the strong objection by many residents. However, the decision reflects an intent to move forward into the future instead of stubbornness to remain mired in a contentious past. My husband graduated from LeeDavis High School in 1972 and my daughter from Atlee High School in 2010. I have been aware since she started kindergarten at Washington Henry Elementary School of the school names being a topic of discussion and concern among some Hanover residents. I am so glad this issue has finally been dealt with. I want to thank the school board for this conscientious decision, and say how proud I am to be a citizen of Hanover County.

located about 150 miles south of Las Vegas in 1967, Dummar pulled his Caprice to the side of the road to relieve himself. As he walked away from his car seeking what privacy the barren desert could provide, he noticed what appeared at first glance to be a bum laying injured in the scrub hidden from the main road. Dummar assisted the man, assuming he was a misguided drunk or homeless man who had become lost in the desert. The man asked Dummar for a ride to Las Vegas, and he obliged. As the two drove through the desert, the early morning sunrise providing the backdrop for two men; one an example of the highest echelons of human achievement, the other a struggling schmuck trying to figure out where next month’s rent was coming from. In the movie, Hughes opens up to Dummar about his family history, a devotion to flying, and — like his unlikely sidekick for the evening — an affection for the musical note.They traveled along a two-lane highway as the skies seemed to distribute each element of the spectrum in a heavenly-divined collage of colors not yet named singing and sharing stories. When Dummar dropped the stranger off at the Sands Hotel, Hughes reportedly asked him if he had any spare change. Dummar dug in his

pocket and tossed his last coins to Hughes as the walked into the kitchen area of the hotel. As he sped away in the old Chevrolet, the whole encounter seemed odd to Dummar, but, in the continuation of his mundane life, memories of the encounter were soon erased. After Hughes’ death in 1976, Dummar was running a gas station in Salt Lake, Utah, when a will was delivered to the Headquarters of the Mormon Church, a document claiming to be the Last Will and Testament of Howard Hughes. Among others named in the will was Melvin Dummar who was listed as one of the beneficiaries and entitled to about $156 million of Hughes’ $9 billion fortune. A probate court examined the document and discovered a fingerprint on the edge of the paper that belonged to Melvin Dummar. The unassuming attendant explained he had handled the will, but had not altered or created the last wishes of one of the most eccentric entrepreneurs in history. While working at his gas station days earlier, Dummar claimed a limousine pulled in for gas, and a man had quizzed Dummar for clues regarding his identify. When the car left, the will was sitting on the desk in the office, and Dummar became scared and delivered the will to the Mormon headquarters.
The changing story extinguished any chance that Dummar would share in the wealth, and Hughes’ fortunes were eventually distributed to more than two dozen relatives. Dummar never abandoned his claim to the money, and — swore to his death — the will was authentic. A retired FBI agent investigated his claims in the early 2000s and did discover some of Hughes’ closest aides who confirmed Dummar’s story. But a judge didn’t buy it, and, again, Dummar’s case was dismissed, still believing until he took his final breath in 2018 that Hughes was compensating him for his act of kindness and compassion on that darkened night in the Nevada desert. In the movie, as the pair ride along with windows rolled down enjoying the aroma of a recent desert downpour, Dummar insists that Hughes sing his song. Now, who knows if Howard Hughes ever sang Melvin Dummar’s Santa’s Souped up Sleigh. It’s anybody’s guess, but I’d like to believe it happened. It’s a story that is so engaging, enticing and fanciful, a few facts from a less romantic world of reality should not tarnish its authenticity. Now, I relayed a much more abbreviated version of this story to my children, and they actually looked like they got it, right up the point when one looked at me and said: “Who is Howard Hughes?”
including the membership of Together Hanover, have called for a third-party, independent organization to guide our community through a process to discuss and change the Confederate school names and mascots. This would be part of a larger racial justice and repair process that would include an equity audit of Hanover County Public Schools, possibly done by a separate diversity
and inclusion consultant. This audit would examine, make recommendations, and hold Hanover County Public Schools accountable for addressing systemic racial disparities in several categories such as hiring and staffing, professional development, curricular and instructional materials, access to G/T (gifted and talented) programming and advanced coursework, see LETTERS, pg. 9

discipline, and access to extracurricular opportunities. Every time I, as an individual parent and education policy expert, have pressed the need for Hanover County Public Schools to have an equity audit conducted, the response has been: “We do those ourselves.” This defies the definition of “audit.” Furthermore, in December 2017, Together Hanover, represented by Hueina Su, insisted on the appointment of a third-party, independent organization in our first public statement to the school board that called for the harmful Confederate school names and mascots to be changed. We advocated the organization’s work should start with moderating public dialogue about those names and mascots. At the following school board meeting in January 2018, in our next public statement, I expressed great reservations with the survey process that had just been announced that night. I reiterated that any feedback process needed to be taken on by an independent, third-party organization and that the superintendent and his staff, as the school board’s employees, should not be put in the position of conducting this survey. When I asked one school board member where they got this unsound survey idea, and why they hadn’t consulted with the Virginia School Board Association or another school district that has been through this, they told me with enthusiasm, “Oh, the survey was HCPS Senior Staff ’s idea.” The then school board chair Sue Dibble reassured me and other advocates repeatedly that she and the Hanover County School Board trusted
Dr. Michael Gill and his staff to manage the process. Now, here we are post successful name change vote -thank you, Ms. Ola Hawkins, Mr. Robert Hundley, Mr. Sterling Daniel, and Ms. Kelly Evko! The Hanover County Board of Supervisors and Hanover County School Board members who did not agree with the vote and did not like that the formerly Confederatethemed schools’ signs came down have suddenly decided after five years of overwhelmingly positive reviews and endorsements stating otherwise that Dr. Gill and his staff are bullies who have mismanaged the process. (Never mind that attorneys for the board of supervisors fighting the name changes argued recently in a court of law that they have nothing to do with school names and mascots.) Indeed, Hanover County Public Schools is not equipped to guide itself through a racial justice and repair process, or to audit itself. Hanover County Public Schools routinely appoints third-party, independent organizations to oversee and conduct other tasks, audits, and reports. So, why not in this case? If Hanover County School Board members and leaders truly believe, as they keep repeating that, “racism and hatred zhave no place in our schools,” they will save themselves and us all further grief and ineptitude and appoint an entity to help us to meaningfully begin the process of racial repair and healing. The Confederate names and mascots are just symptoms; without addressing the deeper problem of institutional racism, the disease will rage on unabated. Rachel Levy, Ph.D. Together Hanover Ashland
Descriptions hurtful, insulting and wrong After reading Heather Greenwell’s letter in the Aug. 5 edition of The Local, I am compelled to respond to her gross mischaracterization of our community. While I endorse and respect Ms. Greenwell’s right to express her opinion and support for the Hanover County School Board, the use of the terms “Klanover” and “backward” to describe our fine county is hurtful, insulting and wrong. To brand our entire county with these unfair labels is beyond offensive. I find it interesting that Ms. Greenwell would use such words since it appears she is a proponent of inclusivity and respect for all people yet her terminology promotes divisiveness and contempt. My family moved to Hanover in 1998 for many reasons, not the least of which was the reputation of its citizens as being fine, upstanding, moral people. Hanover was then and continues to be a wonderful place to live, work, worship and raise a family. We take pride in being Hanover County residents and like other citizens don’t consider ourselves to be “backward” in any way. Likewise, similar to many others, we proudly embrace the role Hanover played in the history of Virginia and our nation. Is Hanover’s role in history perfect? No, it isn’t, but whose is? As has been stated many times by those more eloquent than me, the important thing about history is that we acknowledge it along with our imperfections to learn from them and avoid repeating our mistakes.

Community-Wide Blood Drive to be held Monday at New Song Staff Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – A Community-Wide Blood Drive will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 24, at the New Song Church Worship Center at 7450 Colts Neck Rd. in Mechanicsville. A person can donate blood once every three months. All who come to donate must wear a face mask. At this time, the American Red Cross is in critical need of donations due to COVID-19 and its unprecedented impact on blood donations and inventory. This is very concerning and could affect the Red Cross’ ability to treat cancer,
transplant, trauma and all patients that depend on life-saving blood. If you are a healthy person between 18 and 59 years old, you are urged to consider coming to donate. To adhere to social distancing, walk-ins will be allowed, but all donors having a scheduled appointment are strongly encouraged (appointments can be made even the day-of). All precautions are being taken to ensure the health of the nurses and donors. When on redcrossblood.org, search for New Song by typing in "New Song United Methodist Church" or "23111" in the search field. All donors will receive a free $5 Amazon E-card.

It is disappointing that Hanover doesn’t measure up to Ms. Greenwell’s racial justice standards. Might I suggest she consider exercising her right to relocate to a community more deserving of her ideals. I’m confident it wouldn’t be difficult to round up a few of my fellow “backward” Hanoverians to help her pack. Scott DeNoon Mechanicsville
Retired history teacher: treason was committed I am a retired public school U.S. history teacher with 40 years of experience who now is happy to call Hanover County my home. While I have not lived here all that long, I believe my professional career and the subject I taught lend credibility to the following points I would like to make about the actions and pronouncements of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors at the July 22 meeting and the reactions of your readers to the same. I was dismayed by some of the mythology I read masquerading as history. To continue calling the Civil War “The War between the States” and to argue that it was not about slavery is Neo-Confederate interpretation from the school of Ulrich B. Philips and others, which has been thoroughly discredited by modern scholarship. I also was dismayed by the sanctimonious remarks by some of the supervisors criticizing the actions of the four members of the school board who voted in favor of changing the school names. There are several compelling reasons that cried out for the change: While it may or may not be true that the schools were
named after Confederate leaders to discourage African American students from attending, this much is simple fact. The men for whom the schools were named committed treason against the United States government. You only need reference Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution to understand that. To continue perpetually venerating individuals who committed treason simply does not make sense; I daresay it is unpatriotic. More importantly, no public school student should ever be shamed, embarrassed, or humiliated by the name or the mascots of their schools. Much of the anti-change commentary I read clearly applied to white members of the student body, their parents, and alumni. What of the sensibilities of African American students and the white students who were made uncomfortable by the controversial names and a mascot associated with a period of the nation’s history that has some features to be proud of but a lot to deeply regret? I did truly enjoy some of the even-handed and compassionate letters that I read. I was relieved that some of the readers shared my concern that in the furor over the name change, no one seemed to be thinking about the interests of the African American students or of the white students who understand that change was long overdue. And what excellent parenting by the father who wrote: “… I will sit my 16-year-old son down and explain the issues that have led to this change, and I believe that he will be proud that our county made this decision once he understands the impact to others.” That particular passage was so very impressive, and profoundly moving. Michael Ludwig Old Church Mechanicsville
Resident: No Guilt Trip on equal meaning A few readers have tried to lay a “Guilt Trip” on the citizens of Hanover County and I am tired of it. These people want you to believe if you do not agree completely with the demands of BLM and/ or Antifa and their supporters; you are a racist. This is totally wrong! Equally has an entirely different meaning to these people than what I was taught. One pointed out a “Red Neck Lane” group at LeeDavis High School but failed to mention the “Miss Black America” contest or the “BET Awards”. etc., that are reserved for “Blacks Only”, whereby the “Miss America” contest is open to people of all color. There are no “Whites Only” contests in America! Another wrote referring to Hanover County as “Klanover”, but they still elected to relocate here “For the schools”. Yes! Those same schools that carried the names of Confederate leaders did not slow them down from coming to Hanover 10 years ago. Now they view Hanover as “Backwards”. Oh my … Lions and tigers and bears … Oh my! There is nothing wrong with Hanover, or its citizens! Do not let these radical, left wing extremist, Marxist, socialists shame you into feeling any guilt for things you have nothing to feel guilty or shame over. We moved to Hanover 30 years ago and many a day we have rejoiced over getting out of Richmond, and even more so in recent times. Given options which would you select: Hanover, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, or LA? I would still pick Hanover and be glad I did. Buddy Cousins Ashland see LETTERS, pg. 13
LETTERS Continued from pg. 12
Resident: ‘Klanover’ term unfair, incorrect In response to the letter sent by Heather Greenwell in the issue dated Aug. 5, I must say the following: She is correct in thinking the characterization of her friend referring to Hanover as “Klanover� was unfair. Not only is it unfair, it is incorrect. The writer of this letter has resided in Hanover fewer than 10 years. Did she not do her research? Lee-Davis High School was built in 1959. The First Amendment of the Constitution allows us all to speak freely in public or private settings. If you don’t support a particular issue, do not attend, or, voice your opposition. In the 50 years that I have lived in Hanover County, not one single time have I been approached by a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Not one single time have I seen a cross burning in someone’s front yard. Not once have I experienced Klan members marching through a neighborhood or lurking about in the night. I’ve asked these same questions to residents who have been here 80 years and the answers are the same. No Klan presence or involvement in day-to-day life. It is without a doubt that any group of people or organization can be found, if you seek them out, in any county throughout our magnificent country. When I think of Hanover County, I think of hard-working people. It used to be a rural community with beautiful landscapes where children and animals could run free. Farming was strong and often you would be slowed
on U.S. 301 as a combine would make its way forward. People of different ethnicities worked together. Hayrides with Christmas Carolers made their way through the neighborhoods. No Klan members in sight. Sure, there are people with different views everywhere, as we see and hear daily when we watch or read the news. It’s sad that hard-working people who live in, what at one time was, the country, are stereotyped as “backward and out of touch on racial justice issues�. Nonsense! Neighborhoods are diverse; for the most part people are polite and kind to one another and help each other in need. I am also saddened that many people are so judgmental without taking time to do just a little research. As was mentioned by Ms. Greenwell, Hanover County has an excellent education system. We are fortunate to have excellent law enforcement and every convenience close at hand. “Klanover� is completely undeserved and is an example of the ignorance of the person or persons who say it. Lisa S. Watson Mechancisville
Will change in names change learning? I read article in The Local this week regarding putting signs back on schools. Mr. Robert Barnette, NAACP, says you “bowed to pressure from the BOS [board of supervisors]�! Really? How about bowing to pressure from the local chapter of the NAACP due to their whining and filing lawsuits to remove names? Headline news this morning (Wednesday, Aug. 12) that there will be new school names by Sept. 7. Anyone may send in their ideas.
You didn’t listen to the majority of Hanover constituents when we voted no change. Why would we even halfway believe you would listen to us in selecting a new name? Truth be known, you probably already have names selected and you will just slide them in the list of 12 to 15 final names and choose the one you seven select among yourselves. One hope is that, whatever the name, it will be a generic one to keep from having to deal with such stupid controversy in the future. Although I no longer have children or grandchildren who attend Stonewall Jackson Middle School or Lee-Davis High School, it will be interesting to follow the students at these schools and note if there will be any change in what they will be taught or learn from previous years! Mary Louise Smith Mechanicsville
Expanding slavery doomed the elite class I was pleased to read Bill Iles’ letter to the editor, which was in response to my earlier letter outlining the significance of the little-known Corwin Amendment. I am also grateful The Mechanicsville Local allows educational discourse to take place. The primary purpose of my letter was to highlight that significant historical events, which change nations and even the world, cannot be boiled down to “talking points� or one-sentence explanations. It is a difference with a distinction to state that, while politicians from the slave-holding states knew the federal government would leave their “peculiar institution� alone, they also knew that if slavery was to be forbidden in new territosee LETTERS, pg. 14

ries/states, the political power enjoyed by the South since the formation of the United States would come to an end. For example, nine of the first 12 U.S. presidents (up to 1850) were born Southerners. However, the three U.S. presidents who served from 18501860 were all born in the North. Following the election of
Abraham Lincoln in 1860, the handwriting was on the wall and the Southern political class understood that, without the ability to expand slavery into new territories/ states, the South would have less representation in the House of Representatives, become a minority cohort in the Senate, be less likely to have Southerners appointed to the Supreme Court, and seldom elect a Southerner as president. Recall the letter Lincoln
wrote to Horace Greely on Aug. 22, 1862, in which he famously wrote, “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it”. In other words, for the right purpose, Lincoln was willing to preserve slavery, but he was unwilling to permit its expansion into any lands outside its present existence. Without the expansion of slavery, the political elite class of the South was doomed, and they knew it. Richard Marksbury New Orleans

In 1766, Chiswell was charged with murder. Witnesses claimed that Chiswell argued with and fatally wounded a man in a tavern.

Day spa moves into historic house in Village
Gagnon’s mission: raise funds to help fight childhood cancer By Melody Kinser Managing Editor MECHANICSVILLE – George Thomas Gagnon is a man on a mission: He is ready to pedal his way into raising funds to fight childhood cancer as part of the Great Cycle Challenge 2020. He will be riding for Geoffrey Thomas, who he described as “a trooper all through his life fighting and fighting. Cancer is a hideous disease and children should not have to suffer the pain that is always present. Born in 1972 and died in 1977. Always remembered and always missed.” This is Gagnon’s fourth year taking part in the fundraiser.
Gagnon said he has set his goals high this year, targeting 600 miles and $10,000. Last year, he said, “I hit 400-plus miles and raised over $4,000. I ended up third in the state and 111th in the country.” He said he hopes to end the ride as the top fundraiser in Virginia. Without a doubt, as he said, “I’ll be busy in September.” Why does he do it? “Because, right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and, sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.” Monies raised support the Children’s Cancer Research Fund “to allow them to continue their work to develop
lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.” In seeking the community’s contributions, Gagnon said, “Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter future they deserve. Your support will change little lives.” Since he started taking part in the challenge, Gagnon has ridden and raised the following: 2017 – 193 miles; $1,139.54. 2018 – 449 miles; $2,253.84. 2019 – 440 miles; $4,061.89. He has ridden a total of 1,082 miles and raised $8,577.64. For more information on Gagnon’s ride, as well as details Submitted photo on donating, go to https:// George Gagnon is gearing up for the 2020 Great Cycle greatcyclechallenge.com/rid- Challenge in which he will be raising funds to fight childhood cancer. This will be his fourth year taking part in the ride. ers/georgethomasgagnon.
or laptop, digital photo journal online or on a laptop, garden records in a spreadsheet, garden blog, or even Pinterest or Instagram. With so many options it may feel intimidating choosing a format. I suggest selecting a format for your journal by looking at your personal preferences in life. Love technology? Use an app on your phone, tablet, or laptop. Like to keep things in order but simple? A simple block calendar may work best for you. If chronological order doesn’t matter, maybe a binder or spiral notebook would work for you.
MECHANICSVILLE — Brandi Bovell decided to rebrand her business and live closer to home. The businesswoman operated a successful massage and wellness practice for nine years in Richmond and made the decision to relocate her business to the historic section of BOVELL Mechanicsville, where she has lived since 1995. Old Mechanicsville Health Spa is located in the heart of Old Town Mechanicsville at 8094 Mechanicsville Turnpike, diagonal to the windmill. Bovell ran Affordable Spa Services in the Scott’s Addition area of Richmond. The practice offered a variety of massage therapy, advanced skincare, and holistic therapies.

hat is a garden journal and why should you create one? A journal is a place to document garden observations and record anything that relates to your
garden. By keeping a journal, you will be creating a form of reference manual for your garden. Recording observations and reviewing past journal entries, you will begin to see patterns in your garden such as microclimates, optimum seed planting dates, or when yearly garden pests arrive. Also, with all of your garden related information in one spot, it
is easier to find when you need it. Journal formats fall into two broad categories: low/no-tech and technology based. The first category is a “traditional journal” and includes anything from a bound journal, to a three-ring binder, or even a shoebox to hold plant tags, receipts and articles. Some low/no-tech journal ideas to consider: calendar, spiral notebook, three-ring binder, composition book, index cards, sketchbook, bound journal, diary, shoebox, accordion folder, photo album, or scrapbooks. The second category is digital and includes anything from a spreadsheet to an app on your phone or tablet.

Historic sites reopen with pandemic protocols in place Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND -- Preservation Virginia has reopened several key historic sites so visitors can experience first-hand centuries-old American history —but with modern-day protocols in place during the pandemic. The sites include Scotchtown in Hanover County, home of Patrick Henry, famed orator of “Give me liberty, or give me death”; the John Marshall House in downtown Richmond, where Chief Justice Marshall (Marbury v. Madison) lived until his death in 1835; and Bacon’s Castle and Smith’s Fort in Surry County. The former was occupied by Nathaniel Bacon’s men in 1676 during what became known as Bacon’s Rebellion, and is nowadays notable for its rare triple-stacked chimneys, original outbuildings and a reconstructed 17th-century English formal garden. Smith’s Fort, site of an 18th-century manor house and unfinished fort built by John Smith in 1609, also is the tract of land given as dowry by Chief Wahunsenacawh to John Rolfe upon his marriage to Pocahontas in 1614. Scotchtown and the John Marshall House hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and
Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Bacon’s Castle and Smith Fort are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 5 p.m.Sunday, as well as from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday (Mondays until Labor Day only). Per current guidance from the CDC and other agencies, Preservation Virginia staff wears masks, practice physical distancing and have daily wellness checks. At each location, there also are hand sanitizer stations and high-touch surfaces are frequently cleaned. Visitors are required to wear masks indoors (also recommended outdoors) and asked to observe physical distancing. Guided interior tours are available through “no touch” ticketing so visitors can reserve and pay for tickets in advance online at preservationvirginia.org. Interior tours are limited to groups of six at the John Marshall House and Smith’s Fort, and eight at Bacon’s Castle and Scotchtown. Guided exterior walking tours are conducted at Scotchtown, Bacon’s Castle and Smith’s Fort; Preservation Virginia recommends calling ahead to confirm availability.

Patrick Henry’s home, Scotchtown, is included on the historic sites that have reopened to the public. Pandemic protocols are in place for those wishing to tour Preservation Virginia sites.
Admission for guided interior and guided exterior tours is $10 for adults; $9 for seniors (age 60+), military and AAA members; and $8 for children and students. Children under the age of 6are free. Self-guided exterior walking tours are available at Scotchtown, Bacon’s Castle and Smith’s Fort. Access to the grounds is $5 per person or $10 per car, where visitors receive a site map and can explore the grounds following a numbered path. “We are delighted with the reopening of these important landmarks,” said Elizabeth S.
Kostelny, CEO of Preservation Virginia. “And we recognize the importance of providing a variety of safe options for guests to determine what type of visit suits them best. Our goal is to provide the most meaningful and informative experience possible.”

years, Barbara frequently traveled to the Outer Banks with her daughters, granddaughter and great-granddaughter and with “the Debbie’s.” Many tales can be told of shenanigans that transpired during those trips, but she will take those with her to protect the not so innocent. She grew to love the unspoiled beauty of OBX and loved sitting under an umbrella watching the ocean while sipping a Bud Light Lime and reading. At 86, she was still quite a fashionista, sporting boots and leggings with all of the style and pizzazz of a 30-year old. She would often say that she didn’t want to look

After returning to Virginia to be close to family, Barbara volunteered at the Pamunkey Regional Library. She was an active member in the Friends of the Mechanicsville Library organization and was recognized for her dedicated service. She also became a regular fixture at the gym.

In Caroline, Barbara spent summers canning fresh vegetables from the garden and making homemade preserves and pickles.

Kickers withstand late-charging Tucson By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor Saturday’s rains may have dampened City Stadium – and inundated some of the areas around it – but they could not dampen the intensity of the 90-plus minute contest between the Richmond Kickers and their visitors, FC Tucson. For most of the match, Tucson controlled the ball with a 2-to-1 advantage in possession time. But the Kickers struck in the opening minutes of the first half, added another goal just before intermission, then held off a furious Tuscon attack in the final minutes for a 2-1 win. “Our press is still not where it needs to be,” said Richmond head coach Darren Sawatzky, a former assistant at FC Tucson. “I think we’re lacking a couple of the type of player that does that. Some guys are filling in and doing a great job. “I think what we’re doing really well is at the mid-watch area, just past the half line. We pounce on things and get behind teams pretty quickly.” Ivan Magalhães put the Kickers on the board in the seventh minute. After Tucson’s Roberto Alarcon was whistled for a foul near the left sideline, Mutaya Mwape took the penalty kick for Richmond and placed it perfectly – in the air toward the right side of the box. Magalhães headed it in for the score.
Warren to focus on football By Tim Pearrell Richmond Times-Dispatch

Richmond’s keeper Akira Fitzgerald makes a leaping stop in the Kickers’ 2-1 win over visiting Tucson Saturday.
“We practice these a lot. Pretty much every day we have a little bit of set-piece practice,” Magalhães said. “I’ve got a good connection with MuMu (Mwape) and know where he likes to hit the ball. I just tried to get out there to get the ball and was fortunate to score.” The Kickers got their second goal in the 42nd minute. Scott Thomsen sent a cross in to Luke Pavone, who was inside the Tucson box. Pavone
fired, but his on-target shot was blocked by a spectacular dive by Tucson keeper Carlos Merancio. The ricochet bounced out to Richmond’s Matt Bolduc, who passed it to Ryley Kraft. Kraft in turn found Emiliano Terzaghi on the left side of the box, and Terzaghi spun around and whipped the ball into the right side of the net for his third goal of the season. The Kickers could not afford to relax with the 2-0 lead, how-
ever. Prior to Saturday, the visitors had scored all of their goals after 87 minutes. That late intensity was on display at City Stadium, with Tucson beating its earliest scoring time with a goal in the 82nd minute when Shak Adams took a pass form Charlie Dennis and slipped the ball past Richmond keeper Akira Fitzgerald. Part of Richmond’s problems were a pair of first-half yellow cards, including one to
Kraft, that forced the defense to be a bit less aggressive. “In the first half, you could see that me, personally, I was flying to the ball. The guy beat me on one of the plays and I brought him down,” Kraft said. “That definitely affected how I had to play. … We have to be cautious and not do anything stupid.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
The Mechanicsville Local
The Richmond News Leader started naming “All-Metropolitan” teams in football, basketball and baseball in the 1950s. Girls basketball joined the list in the latter part of the 1980s, swimming in the mid-‘90s. By the late ‘90s, almost all of the area’s boys and girls sports in the region had an All-Metro team (players outside the city of Richmond and the counties of Chesterfield, Henrico and Hanover weren’t eligible until 1992, when The News Leader merged with The TimesDispatch). While opportunities for selection in multiple sports weren’t as numerous until the past 20 or so years, a fair number of players have been All-Metro in two sports. The newspapers, though, haven’t kept a list of those who have been see WARREN, pg. 22
August 19, 2020

WARREN Continued from pg. 22
All-Metro in three sports. Which brings us to Atlee’s Tyler Warren. Before reporting to Penn State recently for his freshman year in football, the 6-foot-6, 235-pound Warren was first-team All-Metro in football (twice), first team in baseball (last year) and third team in basketball (this year), making him the rare local athlete to make it in three sports. “Most guys specialize today,” Atlee basketball coach Rally Axselle said. “To be All-Metro in three sports is phenomenal.” Warren was a two-time pick in football as a punter, although the group of writers and broadcasters selecting the team certainly could have put him in other positions. He was a quarterback, played multiple positions on defense and punted. Warren passed for 1,242 yards (15 touchdowns, eight interceptions) and ran for 570 yards (nine touchdowns) on offense. He averaged 38 yards punting, placing seven inside the 20-yard line. As a forward-center in basketball, he averaged 18.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks and shot 56% overall and 34% on 3-pointers. As a junior outfielder in baseball, Warren hit .469, had a .539 on-base percentage and drove in 25 runs. A chance to repeat this year was nixed after spring sports were canceled by the coronavirus pandemic. “If he wanted to, I bet he could play D-I for any of the three sports he played,” Atlee baseball coach John Corbin said. More remarkable, perhaps, is Warren’s coaches say that while he made strength and conditioning a priority, he focused on the sport that was in-season, picking it up as if he’d never stopped. “He was just dedicated to getting bigger and stronger and better at whatever he was

Tyler Warren, a standout three-sport athlete at Atlee, will focus on just one of the three at Penn State: football.
doing,” Corbin said. “He’s athletically gifted, but he works his tail off, too.” Atlee football coach Matt Gray said the one thing Warren wasn’t going to do was limit himself to one sport in high school. Neither were his coaches. “High school … should be an opportunity for you to experience all things,” Gray said. “I think the specialization is there for college. I think that’s the way it should be handled with every kid. You’re looking at high school sports, and there’s such a demand to specialize. I think it’s a total disservice to that athlete. But that was one thing I think we celebrated and are very proud of.” Warren’s priority now is football, and he’ll play tight end for the Nittany Lions. Penn State doesn’t allow freshmen to talk to the media, so we’ll let his high school coaches talk about his ability to excel at three sports.
The Mechanicsville Local
August 19, 2020
Football In one game, Warren threw for a touchdown, ran for a TD, made a TD-saving tackle, blocked a punt and had a lot of tackles. He played quarterback, safety, defensive end, linebacker and punter in that game. “He’s so valuable,” Gray said. “We’d have kids go down [with an injury], and he’d be beside me on the sideline and he’d say, ‘I can do it.’ He didn’t want to be pigeonholed.” As much as Gray and others rave about Warren’s athletic ability and knowledge of every sport, Gray raved as much about Warren’s character, saying it was his No. 1 strength and describing him as “super humble.” “I’m sitting in the library and I had a [college] coach come in and say, ‘Why don’t you tell me about who this kid is,’” Gray said. “I said, ‘Let’s go.’ I walked up to the librarian and I said, ‘Hey, I’m going to tell
you a name, and I want you to tell me about this kid.’ I said, ‘Tyler Warren.’ He’s a junior at this point. She said, ‘Hmmm. I know the name, but I’m not sure I could pick him out.’ “This was a librarian who sees every student in our school. When I say super humble. … I don’t think he wants to draw a bunch of attention to himself. He’s very unique and he’s different.” Warren was a great teammate, Gray said, fun to be around, a good friend, a hard worker who didn’t take his ability for granted, and a competitor. “I mean the ultimate competitor,” Gray said. “You talk about a guy who does not like losing. It doesn’t really matter [in what]. “We’d start off a team meeting with rock, paper, scissors. If he was a guy that I called up there, he was dialed in to rock, paper, scissors like he was when we were playing our rival school.”
Basketball Axselle said if Warren had specialized more in basketball, he “maybe could have been an A-10-type player.” “He’s an athlete playing basketball, but he understands how to play basketball, too,” Axselle said. “He has a very diverse game in forms of shooting. He’s not the greatest ballhandler because part of that deals with he doesn’t play that much. But he can score midrange, on 3s and in the post. That makes him tough to stop. And being a 6-5, 6-6 athlete, it’s a tough matchup because you put a little guy on him, he takes him into the post. You take a big guy and he can make one or two dribbles, and he can shoot a 3 on you.” Axselle said Warren’s “physical strength is above everybody else’s.” He’s explosive as a jumper, throwing down some thunderous dunks, and has the quickness to defend guards. “His multifaceted skill set
is what’s crazy,” Axselle said. “He goes from the football field, pounding guys, running guys over, making great passes, to shooting 3s and getting rebounds and blocking shots, to baseball. That’s probably the toughest thing to do, go to baseball. He’s just so skilled at so many different things it’s crazy.” Baseball Gray knows a major league coach who discussed Warren’s potential to be drafted in baseball. A center fielder and pitcher, Warren has “ridiculous speed,” Corbin said, and has a terrific arm and terrific power. Corbin said Warren “easily” would have hit 90-plus mph on the mound this year had there been a season. “He has unbelievable hands,” Corbin said. “The amount of power that he possesses from all the workouts he does for football and everything … “Tyler, [the ball] just came off his bat a little different. … It’s hard to describe, but he would hit balls that would like be 10 feet off the ground, and within three seconds they’re off the fence. It’s just like a ridiculous amount of power you don’t see from a normal [high school player]. That’s why I was disappointed I didn’t get to watch him this year because he was 20 pounds heavier and two inches taller.” Corbin said after Atlee lost in the basketball regionals this year, Warren “came out to [baseball] tryouts and I think it was about 48 degrees and he one-hopped the fence three or four times. And I’m just like …” “It wouldn’t surprise me,” Corbin added, “unless he finds something else he enjoys doing in the real world, to see him on Sundays [in the NFL].” Last word Gray said there is one sport in which Warren does not excel: golf. “Yet,” he said.

like a frumpy old lady. Just days before she passed, when she was on the way to the emergency room, she asked to change her shirt because she thought it was tacky.

and Instruction. Sarah JaynesGobble of Mechanicsville received a Master of Arts in Teaching, English Education (Secondary). WGU has recognized 7,734 undergraduate and 5,254 graduate degree recipients who have completed their degrees since April 1. Their areas of study include business, K-12 education, information technology, and health professions, including nursing. The average time to graduation for those earning a bach-
elor's degree was two years, three months, while the average time to degree for graduate programs was one year, five months. The average age for those who graduated is 37 years old. WGU pioneered competency-based education, which measures learning rather than time spent in class. ‘ Designed to meet the needs of working adults, students study and learn on their own schedules with individualized, one-to-one faculty support. They complete courses as soon as they demonstrate that they
have mastered the subject matter; allowing them to move quickly through material they already know so they can allocate time for what they still need to learn. As a result, many WGU students are able to accelerate their studies, saving both time and money. This model has also served students especially well amid the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing them to continue their programs successfully.
