All aboard! Tree carver creates train conductor at Ashland home By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

Joel Klein/The Local

Richard Hamilton, a wood carver from Altoona, Pennsylvania, created this train conductor from a 9-foot oak stump at the home of Bob and Carrie DeLille of Ashland. More photos can be found on the page 13.

ASHLAND – Living in a town that celebrates trains with a day designated in their honor, Bob and Carrie DeLille thought it was only natural to take a 9-foot oak stump and bring a bit of the rail life to their yard on South Center Street. Here’s where Richard Hamilton of RLH Wood Sculptures comes into the

story. The DeLilles discovered this master with a chainsaw on the internet, and, according to Carrie, “loved the detail of his work.” Richard’s wife Brittany said he has been carving for 13 years. His base is in of Altoona, Pennsylvania, where he and Brittany reside with their five children. When asked whether they were fans see CARVER, pg. 16

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor

Take advantage of the range of voting options By Melody Kinser Managing Editor oting in the Nov. 3 General Election could not be any easier or convenient. I always sing the praises of General Registrar/Director of Elections Teresa F. “Teri” Smithson and her staff. They certainly make my job easier with every election. She is so cooperative whenever I check in to see how the day is going, if any hiccups have occurred at the polls -- you get the idea. On Thursday, Sept. 24, Mom and I headed to the Courthouse Complex to cast our ballots. For these two old girls (she’s almost 90

and I’m 64), it was ideal to go ahead and take advantage of the early voting processes. And, it could not have gone any smoother. Teri has a methodical system in place that made the visit productive and brief. We accomplished what we planned to do. The folks working the grounds for Teri’s office were so kind and helpful -- despite a pesky intermittent band of rain showers. While some politicians are stomping around about the possible fraud and ineffective voting procedures, it certainly appeared to be foolproof in Hanover County. I’ve had family members and friends serving in the military who had to vote by mail,

and others, due to employment responsibilities or health reasons, needed to vote absentee. Please -- let’s try for what may be the first time in the year of “What else can go wrong?!” to vote and put aside whatever you believe to be tearing this country apart. Is it possible that there are corrupt officials involved in dealing with the ballots? Of course. I have heard how crooked some politicians can be when it comes to winning at all costs. Yes, it was in my native state -- and I’ll leave it at that. I believe Hanover County has a very trustworthy group of people handling our voting rights. Teri proves over and over how honest

and honorable she is -- and she takes her role in county government very seriously. We are fortunate to have her and her staff. So, whether you choose to go to the courthouse, mail in your ballot, or head to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 3, the goal is to vote. It is a priority this year. Actually, it is with every election. My father instilled in me how valuable and sacred the responsibility we have with our right to vote. With every election, I can hear his voice: “Melody Shawn (that’s when I knew he was serious), whatever you do today, go to the polls.” And I always have -- albeit a bit early this year. But I did vote.

Political season has a definite grumpy overtone LETTERS | Reader Views By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Given the current political climate in America, perhaps it’s better that we don’t interact as much as we did before the pandemic. I began voting in 1968. In some of those years, the person or party I favored won, but, often, I woke up the day after the election disappointed. I’m sure that’s not a unique experience, and all of us have probably tapped our share

of winners, and dabbled with a fair amount of losers. In all of those cases, life returned to normal shortly after the ballots were cast, and friends who differed greatly during the political season, resumed lifelong relationships that have been formed on more than politics. Fortunately, for most of my life political campaigns were seasonal, and, once elections were concluded, most of us were either silently supportive or at worst silent, and recog-

nized or respected our nation’s leader. I suppose it’s a case of you never know what you have until it’s gone because there’s no illusion regarding the state of our current political culture. I’ve heard numerous stories of friends who don’t speak anymore due to a division over politics, or, more specifically, the support of one candidate over another. Nerves and patience have been worn nearly raw in a heated or overinvestigated season of what amounts

to political gotcha, and the normal of yesterday’s politics seem like only a memory. Through a barrage of social media and 24-hour cable news, even the youngest of our population are voicing political opinions on issues and the rest of us seem like we are wallowing in it at times. It’s not the political discussion that concerns me. It’s the personal nature of the attacks, and the judgment attached to political posisee POLITICAL, pg. 8

Do not forget the brave service of law enforcement Over 3,000 Americans were murdered on 9/11/01. On that day and the following days, the EMS, first responders, firefighters and law enforcement all saved lives, and many lost their lives in the process. They were heroes! Our nation has recognized and honored these heroes. Nineteen years later, a large essential professional group, law enforcement, is now called villains. Yes, our nation and state and community have changed. Nineteen years ago, the rallying cry was “Never Forget”. The reality is clear. Some have forgotten the brave service of our law enforcement. Some have dishonored and vilified these heroes of yesterday. To score political points many have taken cheap shots at our nation’s finest public servant heroes. see LETTERS, pg. 8

tions that seem destructive and non-productive. In all of those years and all of those elections, I have never judged friends or others who disagreed with me, or attached a certain set of values to someone based on their political opinions. For years, I have lived my life engaging friends and others with little regard for how they vote, and I learned long ago that a genuinely held position does not define an individual. With all this in mind, I recently met with two friends for a socially distanced beverage and a chance to catch up after months of pandemic-

related restrictions. To my dismay, my two friends immediately engaged in a political discussion. Several minutes later, the conversation seemed less than friendly, and, to those who didn’t know these guys, may have seemed like an argument. I suggested we finish our drinks and adjourn the meeting, thinking cooler heads would prevail. My naiveté was unrewarded and my two friends left in separate cars, their political long-held differences unresolved and neither persuaded by the passionate argument presented by either. I spoke to one of the combatants later that evening, and he assured me that no real damage was done, and

the friendship was much too strong to allow politics to interfere or dismantle years of trust, laughter and compassion. I hope he’s right and his assurances that life always returns to normal following a heated election, but, for the life of me, I can’t help but think it feels different this time. Let’s hope I’m wrong and all of this discontent is the product of more than an usually combative silly season. In any case, it can’t end soon enough for me, but I’m also enough of a realist to realize that today’s politics is full-time work, and the 2021 gubernatorial race is right around the corner. I’m not sure I’m ready to chew on that yet.

Middle School. The press release announced that Mechanicsville had been selected as the new name for Lee-Davis and Bell Creek will replace Stonewall Jackson at the middle school. Those names will be presented at this month’s school board meeting for consideration and approval. If the names are accepted, it will end a more than decades-old effort to change the names of the two schools that celebrate Confederate icons. In 2018, the latest attempts to change the names began in earnest, as citizens and stakeholders demanded the school board consider a change. Board members responded by distributing a citizens’ survey to gauge public opinion. Results indicated more than 80 percent of Hanover citizens wanted to maintain the current names. At that time, the board voted 5-2 to keep the names, but that didn’t deter those seeking a change who maintained the names were an insult to African American students and offensive to many who attended the schools. Last year, the Hanover NAACP filed suit against the school board in an effort to force them to reconsider a change, but board members again resisted. The suit was dismissed earlier this year, but an appeal seemed imminent. In an effort to alleviate further legal action, board members began considering a possible change, and voted in July to change the names of the two schools. That began a renaming process that some say ignored the wishes of the public, with the school board appointing a renaming committee in August consisting of retired educators, students, parents and community stakeholders.

The decision also left some committee members scratching their heads and wondering

Following a series of meetings, the panel selected Twin Rivers for the high school and Mechanicsville for the middle school. A public survey also was compiled to gauge community input. Those committee selections did not sit well with school board members, who decided to take more time to consider options and gather more public input. The committee was disbanded, and the name Twin Rivers was eliminated from consideration at a regular school board meeting last month. Last week’s announcement of the two new proposed names is perhaps the last step in a long and painful process, and reaction to the changes evoke strong emotions. Robert Barnette, president of Hanover’s NAACP Chapter, said the announcement is a step in the right direction. “Black students in Hanover County have endured a hostile school environment that derives directly from the naming of these schools after Confederate generals and the celebration of the Confederacy and its defense of slavery. With today’s name change, the Hanover County School Board has taken an important step toward providing an equal education for all students.” Barnette indicated the name change could propel additional changes for minority students in Hanover County. “In addition, the Hanover County School Board‘s decision to end the shameful, decades-long practice of forcing children who choose to participate in school sports and extracurricular activities to wear uniforms created for the express purpose of honoring the Confederacy and the leaders who fought to preserve slavery indicates that there is hope for a more inclusive educational experience for All Hanover County students,” Barnette said. “Although, there still remains much work to do.”

CASTLE

Donna Workman. Although Ernie was born in Sioux Falls, S.D., a landlocked state, his fascination with the sea and ships began in childhood. In 1944 he was appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy, where he spent four of the happiest years of his life. He went on to see service in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. During the Six Days War he was the Naval Attache to Israel and was the Navy’s investigator into the “Liberty Incident.” Over the course of these wars, and his work in Naval Intelligence, he earned a Silver Star for bravery during the Korean War; President Kennedy’s Meritorious Award for his work as Robert McNamara’s briefer during the Cuban Missile Crisis; and

numerous other awards for outstanding performances in the line of duty. His superior debating skills, evidenced in high school and polished at the Academy, enabled him to transition easily into the 14-year career as a professor at the University of South Carolina. There he taught, among other subjects, Elizabethan Poetry. During his tenure he also helped build a strong Naval ROTC unit and championed the admittance of women into the Corps. A man of towering intellect with a delightful sense of humor, and interests that ranged from football to literature and history, he will be deeply missed by all who knew him but especially by his immediate survivors, his wife, Jean B. Faglie; her children, Roland (Mike), Robert (Bobby) and Karen Aldridge; his nephew, Robert Wagner; his beloved student, Donna Workman and her husband, Bryan; and very special inlaws, Martha and Mickey Elmore. In addition, Ernie was given loving care by his nurse, Phalla Browne, a very special caregiver; and by a team of

compassionate hospice nurses. When people are free to congregate again, we will gather to celebrate Ernie’s remarkable life. Meanwhile, please consider a donation in his memory to his longtime church home, Emmanuel Episcopal Church, 1214 Wilmer Avenue, Richmond, Va. 23227.

FIGULY, Sarah Lee Kathryn, 56, was born in the midst of the turbulent ‘60s with all its unrest, and died in 2020, enduring its own restlessness. She, at least, is now at rest and is “beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.” She valiantly fought the pain of lupus and MS for many years and did not let the diseases define her. She stayed involved in social causes as much as her disability would allow her. If you could ask, her biggest regret would be that she is not be able to vote in the

upcoming election. Her father, Albert Figuly; and her cherished grandmother, Elizabeth E. Rush, preceded her in death. She is survived by her mother, Eva Rush Figuly; her brothers, Albert T.

B-17 Flying Fortress visits as reminder of sacrifice By Dave Lawrence Richmond Suburban News ASHLAND – The U.S. Army Air Forces suffered 115,382 battle casualties in World War II. Of those, 52,173 were killed – 44,785 were killed in action. As part of an effort to remind current and future generations of that sacrifice, a World War II-era B-17 Flying Fortress, the Sentimental Journey, paid a visit to Hanover County Airport three weeks ago. The bomber, a B-17G designed by Boeing but built by Douglas, is part of the Commemorative Air Force’s “Flying Legends of Victory Tour.” During its stop in Hanover, visitors could tour the bomber on the ground. Some were able to get a flight on it before mechanical issues grounded it on Sept. 19 and 20. There was no shortage of “Wow!” factor, whether one experienced the bomber in the air or on the ground. It is a flying museum – one with an important mission. “We’re here to educate, to inspire, and to honor,” said Ed Campbell, ground operations coordinator for the Commemorative Air Force Airbase Arizona B-17. “It’s a very short mission statement – we’ve revamped it over the years – but our job is to educate people about Photos by Dave Lawrence Richmond Suburban News

light, vulnerable to enemy fighters and antiaircraft fire. Seventy-five years later, it is almost impossible to appreciate what those flight crews experienced. “You think about what they had to do,” Campbell said. “Firing guns and so forth -- being fired at -- it’s cold. The flight suits they were wearing were capable of being plugged into electricity to keep them warm – but they would often catch fire. The windows would frost up so that you couldn’t see the enemy coming your way – and you still had guys volunteering to go on these planes … “The things that they were tasked with doing are virtually unimaginable.

Nov. 30 is the deadline for lovers of America’s railroad history to meet the $50,000 matching grant for the Mid-Atlantic Railroad Park project in Ashland. Otherwise, the entire grant will be withdrawn. Research shows that the Railroad Park will strengthen our region’s economy for years to come, and the $50,000 matching grant from the Mary Morton Parsons Foundation is the very best chance to make this exciting attraction a reality. Please watch an informative video at ashlandvirginia.com/railroad. Then donate securely online, or write your check to Downtown Ashland Association and mail it to P.O. Box 33, Ashland VA 23005 (write “Railroad Park” on the memo line). A permanent plaque will recognize donors of $5,000+ as Honored Founders and donors of $1,000+ as Honored Supporters. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for joining in to make this happen!

Parks and Rec meets tomorrow ASHLAND – The Ashland Parks and Recreation Committee will meet at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 8, at Ashland Town Hall, located at 101 Thompson St. in Ashland.

All meetings are held at Ashland Town Hall and are open to the public.

Bob and Carrie DeLille of South Center Street in Ashland decided to continue with the town’s long-time relationship with railroads by having a 9-foot oak stump carved into a train conductor. Richard Hamilton of Altoona, Pennsylvania, brought his expertise to “The Center of the Universe” to transform the massive stump into art. The finished product is shown at right. Below, Hamilton brings the train conductor to life with a chainsaw. For more information on RLH Wood Sculptures, call 814-215-6223 or visit www.GetChainsawArt. com.

Honoring law enforcement

Toys for Tots campaign starts Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com AYLETT -- The classic toy collection drive – “Aylett Toys for Tots” Christmas Campaign -- has just begun. The aim of this campaign is to collect and distribute toys and gifts to children in King and Queen, King William, WestPoint, New Kent, Essex and surrounding counties. Toys donated locally are distributed locally.

An event organized by Mangohick resident Bob Ehrhart attracted “enthusiastic” citizens to Commerce Park Circle shopping center in Manquin at noon on Friday, Sept. 11, to honor law enforcement, fire and medical personnel, the 19th anniversary of 9/11, when Islamic terrorists attacked New York City and the Pentagon. Passengers on one of the flights involved attempted to bring down the terrorists, with the plane crashing in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Joining in the tribute were members of the King William Sheriff’s Office and Virginia State Trooper Jackson and his K-9 Jake. The officers were commended for their ongoing efforts in support of law and order in our communities.

“Aylett Toys for Tots” is the local coordinating organization for the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program and covers 10 counties where there is no reserve unit.

of railroads, Carrie said, “We bought a house on it – LOL – and, at the time we bought it, it was being advertised as ‘The Train House’.” So why did they decide to contract Richard to carve a train conductor? “Years ago, we had an oak at our old house that we had to take down and wanted to preserve, so we had it carved and even moved it to this present house.” “We were heartbroken by losing three very old and large trees this spring,” she said. They had been told that one was 300 years old and another was about 200. There also was a 100-foot spruce – which isn’t supposed to grow in Virginia – they “wanted to preserve it like we had done before.” As for the railroad theme, “We thought something related to the railroad would be most appropriate and landed on the

idea of a conductor.” They found a photo “and Richard fine-tuned a sketch for us – and here we are!” she said enthusiastically. The final touch to the train conductor was the addition of the lantern placed in his hand. “The whole process of the train conductor was recorded live on our business Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ RLHWoodSculptures as well for anyone interested in a closer look as to what the entire process looks like,” Brittany said. She explained her husband’s talent, saying, “He was blessed with an artistic ability at a young age. After pursuing biology and realizing the possibility of working with genetic modification of animals was very slim, he decided art (specifically being a sculptor) was the route he wanted to go.” “At the very beginning of his career, he got to travel with some of the best carvers in the nation, which really propelled him forward and made his desire even stronger to continue carving,”

she added. Brittany and Richard have been married for 10 years. He supports the family of seven through his art. Richard’s sculptures range in price from $150 to $7,500. The larger amount would involve “more intricate work,” Brittany noted. When he’s working, Richard said he doesn’t count the hours, he makes the hours count. It does vary, though, from one hour to 100 hours. Among his more involved work are Rocky Balboa, a Statue of David, Native American statues, the Fred Flintstone family, the Tinman from “Wizard of Oz,” multi-animal totems, an octopus and anchor bar tap pulls. To see more of his works, Brittany said go to www. GetChainsawArt.com. “Richard enjoys a challenge and carving new and exciting things that he has never carved see CARVER, pg. 27

SACRIFICE Continued from pg. 12

You’re going to be able to see the actors, but not how confining it is in the airplane.” Taking a tour of the B-17 helps drive home the notion of how cramped the space was – without the added stress of getting shot at. There is no shortage of spaces where one’s head can make unauthorized contact with metal objects. It takes a bit of a scramble just to get a glimpse into the nose compartment where the bombardier and navigator were based. The cockpit can, at best, be considered cozy, but when one adds a flight engineer monitoring the condition

of the aircraft – or firing the top turret in combat – any notion of coziness is quickly dispelled. A narrow catwalk through the bomb bay links the fore and aft compartments of the plane. Aft of the bomb bay is the radio compartment, but its sole occupant, the radioman/gunner, shares a space with radio communications and navigation equipment as well as one M2 Browning .50-caliber machine gun to protect the bomber from attacks from above. The only relatively spacious compartment follows – the side gunners’ compartment, but it contains the drive mechanisms for the ball turret in the belly of the aircraft and, when full of two

waist gunners and flying casings from the .50-caliber shells, gets cramped fairly fast. As for the ball turret, the gunner had to crawl into the turret through a narrow hatch, curl into a fetal position with barely enough room to activate the twin .50-caliber guns’ controls, much less breathe. To make matters worse, despite the diminutive size of the ball turret gunners, there wasn’t enough room in the turret for both them and their parachutes. One ball turret gunner, Alan Magee, was thrown free of his destroyed B-17 without a parachute. He fell four miles, crashing through the glass roof of the train station in St. Nazaire, France. He

survived the fall and the war, but most airmen in a similar situation weren’t so lucky. Finally, there is a narrow crawl space leading to the tail gunner’s compartment. It might have been the least enviable position on a B-17 because it was a vulnerable position from which to attack the plane. While the Flying Fortress was designed by Boeing, other manufacturers were called upon to meet front-line demand. One of these other companies, Douglas, built the plane that became the Sentimental Journey in November 1944. The bomber was set to Europe but arrived too late for combat in the European Theater of Operations. It was 8 PM

The aircraft eventually made it back to the Boneyard, but didn’t stay there. “[The Commemorative Air Force] got her in 1978,” Campbell said. “It’s sort of an overused term, but it was a labor of love finding the parts and getting her back to what you see now. She is fully restored to World War II glory down to the Norden bombsight in the nose.” The B-17G, with its chin turret, was the definitive design of the bomber’s line. Carrying up to 8,000 pounds of bombs and armed with 13 .50-caliber

She never got shot at, never fired a shot,” Campbell said of the ship. “She was a warbird that was never really in it – a bridesmaid instead of a bride kind of thing.” Just because it missed action in World War II doesn’t mean the Sentimental Journey had an uneventful career. After a brief stint at the “Boneyard” for retired and surplus aircraft at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, the B-17 was returned to service for tasks as varied as flying drones through radioactive clouds dur-

Cerebral palsy can’t keep Marr out of water By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – Six years ago, Ashland resident Garrett Marr struggled to use the left side of his body. Cerebral palsy had rendered Garrett, who was 4 at the time, hemiplegic. But the Ashland resident loved being in the water. And, despite his young age, he was determined not to let his disability define or limit him. And he didn’t. Continuing with years of aggressive therapy that began when he was an infant, he worked to gain the mobility he needed on his left side to swim. Then he took swimming lessons. Eventually, he joined the Hanover Country Club’s Greater Richmond Aquatic League swim team. For him, just starting and finishing a race is a win – though, fierce competitor that he is, he’d rather have traditional wins. Nevertheless, his presence gives his teammates a boost. “He’s the best sport we have on the team,” said Shelby Nash, head coach of Hanover Country Club’s GRAL swim team. “He encourages everyone. He pushes himself. He doesn’t get upset.” Garrett, however, wasn’t Dave Lawrence/The Local always as eager to swim as he Garrett Marr earned his smiles in the pool at Hanover Country Club. The 10-year-old overcame cerebral palsy to learn to swim. is now. “He didn’t want to swim Years of therapy soon began Garrett was diagnosed with a baby. There’s no such thing we noticed was that he only in meets. He was embarrassed cerebral palsy as an infant. as being right-handed or left- used his right hand. That’s a red – and are still ongoing.

NASCAR returns for two weekends in 2021 By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series schedule will look a good bit different from the 2020 schedule— at least, how the 2020 schedule was supposed to be before the COVID19 pandemic—but after getting shorted one Cup Series race as a result of the pandemic lockdown, Richmond can look forward to two weekends of NASCAR races in the oncoming season. NASCAR adds three new tracks and new layouts to two existing Cup Series tracks. The Cup Series will visit Richmond Raceway on April 18 and Sept. 11. The 2021 Xfinity schedule has yet to be announced. see NASCAR, pg. 22

New England spoils Kickers’ home win streak By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor RICHMOND – The New England Revolution II came to City Stadium Saturday night on a roll, with two straight road wins in USL League One play. Their hosts, the Richmond Kickers, barely registered as a speed bump as New England rolled out of town with its third straight road win, a 4-0 shutout of the Kickers. It was only the second time Richmond could not muster a goal this season. The other time was a scoreless draw against South Georgia Tormenta FC on July 28. New England got a pair of goals in each half. The first goal in each half was recorded as an own goal – both bad ricochets off Richmond players in front of the net – and a third score came off a one-on-one penalty kick by Nicolas Firmino inside the box. New England’s final came from Damian Rivera off a pass from Mayele Malango. Richmond goalkeeper Akira Fitzgerald got a hand on it but could not deflect it out of the net. “We laid an egg tonight. I take responsibility,” said Richmond head coach Darren Sawatzky. “We weren’t prepared as a team to compete against a team that’s in form. Kudos to New England for pumping some goals on us. That’s tough, man. That one stings a little bit.” Richmond had its share of chances, especially in the first half when a score could have changed the complexion of the match. But none of their shots could get through. Sawatzky said his team is trying to build a winning culture. “Good teams . . . and good cultures, they find ways to win games even when things don’t

necessarily bounce your way,” we could have shaken things up Sawatzky said. “I felt it was a a little bit.” The Kickers remain two little unfortunate. I thought that if we could have nicked a goal in points behind No. 2 Union

Omaha in the USL League One standings, 22-20. The Greenville Triumph remain comfortably on top of the list with 31 points,

while the Chattanooga Red Wolves SC are just two back of Richmond with 18 points. Only the top two teams will make the league’s one-game playoff. Saturday’s game was the first of a stretch of three games in a eight days for the Kickers. Richmond hosts Orlando City B at City Stadium tonight at 6:30 p.m. They finish the run at North Texas SC Saturday at 8:30 p.m.

of the primary goals was to improve the flexibility and range of motion of his left arm and leg. “He’s been in therapy ever since he was 9 months old,” Gretchen Marr said. “What has happened over the last few years is that he has done a lot of work. The left side is not as coordinated as the right side, but with all of his hard work it has become more coordinated. With swimming, he doesn’t have to think about using his left side, whereas, when he first started, he really had to think and remember there was a left side. “Now that part is taken care of, so he can really focus on his coordination and mobility. He does a lot of stretches. He does physical therapy and occupational therapy. All of that is to increase mobility and coordination on the left side – and strength.” The fifth grader at the Carmel School in Ruther Glen claims he has no favorite classes, but he has three favorite sports: swimming, basketball, baseball and soccer – the season determines which of the three is at the top of the list. Basically, his favorite sport is the one he can play right NOW. Just as he has adapted in swimming, he has done the same in baseball. He’s a pitcher and both throws and catches right. One of his heroes is former Major League pitcher Jim Abbott, who had a successful 10-year-long career in the Major Leagues despite having been born without a right hand. Garrett shifts his glove off-andon like Abbott did when switching from throwing to fielding

and back. Garrett even has a fish named Abbott after his hero. He is a fierce competitor which can result in plenty of frustration, too. “He’s so competitive . . . swimming is a very difficult thing for him to do,” said Jeff Marr, Garrett’s father. “He thinks he should be beating all of his peers because he has to work harder.”

Garrett doesn’t expect, nor does he receive special treatment. He deals as much trash talk as he takes from his friends on the team. They look out for him, but they treat him just like any other teammate. Garrett, who is shy in front of a reporter, grins as his parents discuss the ribbing that goes on among his teammates. Gretchen Marr points out that Garrett’s competitive streak has benefits, too. “The competitiveness is an advantage, too,” she said.

“I know he gets frustrated in events and stuff like that, but … because he is that way, he works harder when there’s a goal that he wants to achieve – even in therapy.” But Garrett is not all work. He’s got a silly streak one should expect of a 10-year-old. When asked what he liked most about swimming, he said, “The Fridays, when we do games and eat donuts and get ribbons.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

“We certainly looking forward to 2021,” said Dennis Bickmeier, president of Richmond Raceway. “We’re thrilled that the schedule’s out. It’s got a lot of changes to it. I’ve been in this for a little over 20 years, and it’s probably the most change I’ve seen, so I think that’s great. “I think that it’s added some energy, at least over the last 24 hours. The fans, I think they’ve been energized by the changes to the 2021 schedule. … We’re thankful that we have our two dates in April and September and we’re ready to get to work on those.” The three tracks NASCAR is adding to the Cup series sched-

The Cup Series returns to Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Aug. 15, but not to the 2.5mile oval. Instead, the race will be held on the speedway’s 2.439-mile road course to bring the total number of road courses on the circuit to six. The Cup Series will return to its roots on March 28 at

But the air campaign that featured both bombers only partially fulfilled the promises of the most enthusiastic and vocal of pre-war theorists who argued that strategic bombing alone could bring an enemy to its knees by destroying its production and defensive capability and undermine its morale – sapping its will to fight. Historian Stanley Weintraub argued that the thousands of Allied air crews did disrupt enemy industrial production – especially the production of new weapons – and did disrupt

The volunteer crew of the Sentimental Journey would like the public to remember that sacrifice long after their bomber has returned home to Arizona.

committee and told school board members earlier this month that students on the committee did not favor the name Mechanicsville for the high school rename. This committee member confirmed that interpretation. “Personally, I also did not want the name Mechanicsville for the high school, because I’ve talked to numerous peers that were way more enthusiastic about a name like Twin Rivers rather than Mechanicsville,” he said. After hours of work and research, the student said it became apparent early that the final decision would lay with the board, and viewed the work of the committee as a type of lip service. “Toward the end of the process, it became apparent that the school board was going to

get their way with the names they wanted, no matter what the committee chose,” he said. “At the third meeting, the committee made a choice to recommend Creek Run for the middle school, and Twin Rivers for the high school.” Those recommendations, according to the student, were nixed by school officials and committee members were told that administrations would not endorse those choices. In order to gain that endorsement, the committee offered what was a compromise. “We proposed the idea to the group of Mechanicsville for the middle school (to hopefully appease the board and Dr. (Michael) Gill [superintendent of schools] and Twin Rivers for the high school (so we didn’t have identical names and we had at least one of our sugges-

tions used),” the student said. “Dr. Gill said he would endorse this compromise, and then the committee voted to approve this recommendation 18-2.” While the student said he was disappointed the work of the committee was discounted, he supports the board’s decision and their choice of names. “First off, I want to say that I support whatever decision the school board does land on, as I believe any name in the running to be selected will be exponentially better than the previous ones we had,” he said. “This being said, I am disappointed that multiple hours of hard work over video conferencing and research done outside of meetings was just thrown to the side as if it was nothing.” He said his fellow members on the committee took the renaming task seriously. “We

worked hard coming up with these recommendations. It was not easy narrowing it down from a list of over 3,000 to two final choices,” he said. “I personally am disappointed that the Hanover County School Board does not recognize this, and I am also disappointed that they will be moving forward with names they spent one weekend coming up with, when the committee spent multiple weeks working for our recommendations.” The student said he suspected from the start of the process that the final decision would be made by the school board. “In the end, I think it’s important to note that I had a feeling from the start of this process that it was going to turn out like this, because of what I’ve seen the board do in the past. I’m proud that they have cleansed

our schools of the names and symbols of racism, but it does seem that they want to use their power as much as possible.” He’s also not sure a stated goal to include students in the renaming process, in the final analysis, didn’t fall short of the mark. “When you serve on the school board, the students should come first, not the interests of yourself or your supervisor. I have friends that are telling me that they aren’t happy with the board’s decision. The board is making a choice based solely upon voices that don’t walk the halls of these buildings every day. To me, that’s a problem.” The school board will consider the names for approval at its Oct. 13 meeting. Mascots and colors will be chosen at the school level at a later date.

regarding his experience on the panel, but asked that his comments be published anonymously. “I was kind of taken aback once I heard the name suggestions that the board came up with. We had eliminated the name ‘Bell Creek’ for the middle school around round 2 to stay consistent with previous rationale,” the committee member said. “We removed Bell Creek because there was a consensus in the committee that we should have a name that represents the whole school jurisdiction, not just part of it, as well as the Bell Creek neighborhood is completely in the Chickahominy middle school district, if I recall correctly.” Dr. Carol Cash headed the

the disposition, movement and effectiveness of enemy forces. But, while seeing Allied aircraft above might have benefitted the morale of citizens in enemyoccupied countries, the bombing campaign had little if any adverse effect on enemy morale. The most valuable result of the bombing campaign came after the arrival of the P-51 Mustang fighter. The Mustang alone had the range to escort bombers from England to Berlin and back, and it could out-compete most German fighters in aerial combat. Historian Robert Leckie noted a shift in strategy occurred after the deployment of the P-51. Targets were chosen to lure the Luftwaffe into combat. American aircraft and air crews could be replaced quick-
